I can't thank you enough Phil for these vids, they have inspired me to pick up the bass again decades later. So different from my teacher when I was much younger.
These song breakdowns are AMAZING. I love not only to get a deep dive in the trackthemselves, but also ingredients to put together cool rock bass lines in general!
Got a lot more than I bargained for out of this one. I loved your explanation of playing ahead or behind the beat. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your experience!
Hi Phil! Your remarks on playing a little tiny behind the beat was really eye-opening! I play in a Ronnie James Dio tribute band and tried to incorporate that when playing these gallop sections like Holy Diver, Egypt and Heaven & Hell. My bandmates felt the difference without me telling them, they unanimously said it sounded ballsier and heavier, they even thought I enhanced the tone or something!
I listen to Ronnie's music almost every day. He is still a behemoth in music all these years later. Holy Diver is one of the finest albums ever recorded, from start to finish...it's the one which brought me from merely liking metal (I'd first heard ...And Justice For All at a very young age) and into a complete metal head. I like all sorts of music, but nothing inspires me quite like Dio.
Love this song, fab video for me, I'm only just learning bass so some great tips. I saw Dio on this tour stood right in front of Jimmy, that night he was using a grey Jim Dunlop flexi pick as I caught one. Do you prefer playing with a stiffer pick, or go for similar? I hope to see you in LiL in the UK sometime. Been too long since I saw you with Robin George at Newcastle poly and on the Ozzy ultimate sin tour. I've been looking at the live version of Showdown by Robin, so a video of that would be cool... You Rock Phil, Thanks.
I would like to - I always get copyright flagged for the Ozzy tracks. Just something that people don't really understand... Once you have a record deal you no longer own any rights to the songs! The record company in question owns them at that point and I have to write to them and get permission - a long process!
@@PhilSoussanOfficial Well, hey brother…by all means, please go ahead and break down your own songs and views, etc.! We are here to listen and learn, man! Cheers! 🙂
Nothing special or specific... usually into an Ampeg PF20 SVT 20watt head and then into a Two-Notes Captor speaker emulator, but sometimes I might just go through a Tech 21 Richie Kotzen Fly Rig RK5 ...given to me by Richie.
I know it would be proper to play C, D and D sharp on the up end of that lick but Jimmy did it the lazy way and rolled over the D and onto the D sharp without sound out the D. This is why I do it the same way as Jimmy in my video that you will notice is not the same as you play it. I had to listen close and question myself when I learned this because anyone knows Jimmy should have played it the way you did. th-cam.com/video/b4sQ_jBLCRo/w-d-xo.html

Cool, thanks! It’s awesome - right? Very subtle on its own but HUGE when applied to a band performance!! Good luck to you!
Would love to see ' killer of giants'
But I'm stoked at anything that is released, they are all great 🤩
I love hearing your signature style in the track and your feel versus Jimmy's. Thanks to you both for the decades of inspiration.
I met you in Parma (Italy) a few years ago...nice man and Amazing Bass Player, great Phil...hope to meet you again somewhere on tour !!!
Thanks again for sharing!! Always enjoyable getting your incite and style.
Phil is amazing!!hell of a vocalist too!!!!
Aww... thank you!

Love that tone!
Master! Thanks for all the insight and detail 🤘🏻
Yess! Love this tune, thanks for this Phil!

You Rock Phil, Thanks.
His pick technique is FLAWLESS. Only seen two dominate the pick that way. Him and Bobby Vega.
Rip Jimmy Bain and Bob Daisley have about the same playing style
@@NikkieRoxxx Dammit man....don't scare me like that, the way you wrote it sounds like Bob died.
Thanks Phil, could of use these techniques on “Snow White” Track 👍🏼😎🙏🏻
Fantastic ! Can you do "Never know why" or "Fool like you", please ? Those are killer songs

How many music man sterlings do you have?
Bad ass!
Phil...what is your signal chain when you record these videos?
Thanks in advance,

Holy Diver I like the part where you slide up to around the 14th fret.About 15 sec in Did you add this
Yep... it is not on the original !
