Fellow Bassist here.......... Awesome job, bloody nailed it! especially considering it's quite a technically difficult piece to play as well.....and how effortless Mick made it look, it is really humbling.when you learn to play it yourself, your head is like OMG how in the hell did he come up with this Bass line while you remember when to count yourself back in.....! I bet you needed a cup of tea and a quick lie down after that one.....lol Fantastic!.... Cheers from the land down under!
[Verse 1] I'm walking young and strong But just a little too thin I may be happy But I haven't a clue to this life In my mind [Chorus] Stay with me, we could learn to fight Like every good boy should Cling to me, we are blacked out In visions of China tonight [Verse 2] I'm burning heroes again I never thought of before I remember the fashion But don't have a clue to your life In my mind [Chorus] Stay with me, we could learn to fight Like every good boy should Cling to me, we are blacked out In visions of China tonight [Outro] We walk backwards, say nothing My visions of China We're young and strong in this party We're building our visions of China We walk backwards, say nothing My visions of China We're young and strong in this party We're living our visions of China We walk backwards, say nothing My visions of China We're young and strong in this party We're building our visions of China
Sure! After I posted my video I found this: Japan Visions of China 480p Quality They are lip synching but you can see how Mick plays the song. Turns out I was in the wrong position in the chorus and a little in the verse but I think I got the notes right. Anyway, have fun!
I'm no musician, but I think your cover rocks! I dig the good vibes you project while playing, and the little extra flourishes sound like the bass is groovin' it with you!
Setting aside the fact that this is in itself a totally awesome bass cover, may I ask what happened to your cover of Duran Duran's Last Chance On the Stairway? My son is a 13-year old bassist and has been trying his hand at a number of John Taylor bass lines. Yours was THE best cover of this song, and as one of my favorite Duran tunes, I hoped he might tackle it one day with the help of your vid. I watched the video countless times and was totally mesmerized. Tremendous job, both on this video and the one that appears to be sadly missing!
Thanks so much Rob. I am so glad you mentioned the Last Chance On the Stairway video! I feel like I was the only one on the internet playing it correctly and then POOF! It disappeared! I have no idea what happened to it. It's just gone! And it isn't on my computer anymore. I'm baffled. I guess I'll have to redo it! Cheers!
Your performance of this this is enough to make one think that you you could perform it in your sleep!❤ this is one of my favorite Japan tracks! How do you feel about the side project Dalis Car?

[Verse 1]
I'm walking young and strong
But just a little too thin
I may be happy
But I haven't a clue to this life
In my mind
[Chorus]
Stay with me, we could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me, we are blacked out
In visions of China tonight
[Verse 2]
I'm burning heroes again
I never thought of before
I remember the fashion
But don't have a clue to your life
In my mind
[Chorus]
Stay with me, we could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me, we are blacked out
In visions of China tonight
[Outro]
We walk backwards, say nothing
My visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
We walk backwards, say nothing
My visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're living our visions of China
We walk backwards, say nothing
My visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
Lovely bass line of a nice track, this is the only time I have heard slide playing on a bass.
It’s a fretless bass, yes it does kind of emulate that slide guitar kind of vibe.
Holy shit I was having so much trouble figuring out the chorus, thank you so much.
