Just saw Armoured Saint in Atlanta and they were outstanding but this man is a monster on bass and an unforgettable performer A true natural I'll admit I was that familiar with these guys but that changed in the best way
I met Joey a couple times in the late 90s, Fates Warning was on tour for Pleasant Shade of Grey album. Let me tell you about this guy! Smaller than he looks, older than he looks, even more nice than he seems in this video, and a BAD ASS player. Tone for days. I was teching with a band (Train of Thought) that opened for them on a Houston date, so I had up close access to all the gear, micing, etc. Very coooool!
00:46 - Kiss - 'Deuce' 01:54 - Armored Saint - 'Mad House' 03:11 - Armored Saint - 'You're Never Alone' 03:53 - Armored Saint - 'Legacy' 05:03 - Armored Saint - 'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants' 06:34 - Armored Saint - 'Lone Wolf'
Legacy has always been one of my favourite Saint songs and Joey Vera bass extravaganzas: but the best bass line on the album is on Crisis of Life, which was left off the original LP. I play that bass line almost every time I pick up the instrument. Classic Saint groovy-ness!
Fates Warning is very lucky to have Joey. One of the best and underrated Bass players there is. Really good dude to. I've been a Fates fan since 1988. Fates is still putting out great music. Armored Saint also a great band 🎶👍🎤🎸
"..sort of thinking a Phil Lynott type of thing..." Joey always wears a Thin Lizzy belt buckle and has commented a couple of times on the Thin Lizzy t-shirts I always wear to shows. Punching the Sky is one of my absolute favorite albums of all time!
Noice, I play bass and I like Joey Vera. He’s an awesome and amazing bass player. Armored Saint is an awesome heavy metal band. Other than that, cool:).
Man, Youre Never Alone. I always thought that song was okay, and good. I love the delirious nomad album... but there was one day where that song hit me differently all because that riff and how everyone jammed super hard to it. The rhythm section in the solo, and the second ending of the song is just straight badass-ery. Quickly became one of my favorite songs after i realized that. Armored Saint fucking rules! /,,/
Always remember when Joey bonked me on my bald head with the headstock of his bass...playfully...when they opened for Saxon a few years ago...great band live.
@@jennyguitar theres no good or bad at guitar. You can play it thats a feat in itself never give up. Hell my friend plays guitar and he has years playing and he gets amazed when i do songs on expert on guitar hero.
What he did in the album "A Pleasant Shade Of Gray" by Fates Warning inspired me to play bass. He is one of the greatest.
Best prog metal album!
And Mark Zonder...not human for sure!!!
Fates Warning is incredibly underrated! They put on the best jam live ever
Just saw Armoured Saint in Atlanta and they were outstanding but this man is a monster on bass and an unforgettable performer
A true natural
I'll admit I was that familiar with these guys but that changed in the best way
Joey love your bass lines. Long live to you and Fates Warning

Right up there with Steve Harris!!!!!!
No mention of Last Train Home? By far my favorite Joey Vera bass line.

"..sort of thinking a Phil Lynott type of thing..."

Punching the Sky is one of my absolute favorite albums of all time!
Most underrated heavy metal band is Armored Saint.
100% Correct Statement
Last Train Home and Another Day are amazing tunes
Diamond Head, imo but both are legendary
Facts! Saw Armored Saint live in Columbus, OH in like 2000 at Alrosa Villa. One of the best shows ever.
So is Fates Warning. I guess Joey has a type :P
One of my Top 3 favorite bassists of all time. Was hoping 'Human Vulture' might be in here
Thanks for this video. This kinda stuff from the original artists is the best content
Fun upload. I interview Mr. Vera, tomorrow!
So glad he pulled Legacy out! Monster bass riff!
My favorite song from Raising Fear LP. I got the LP on vinyl on 1989.
Get les Claypool to do this
I love the guy, very shy but a Phenomenal bass player and composer
Pretty cool video! The bass sounds awesome.
Noice, I play bass and I like Joey Vera. He’s an awesome and amazing bass player. Armored Saint is an awesome heavy metal band. Other than that, cool:).

Armored Saint fucking rules! /,,/
Loads of groove. Brilliant player.
Love the first riff that he played 🤘♥️
Had the first album on cassette when I was a kid and wore it out.Love Armoured Saint.
Always remember when Joey bonked me on my bald head with the headstock of his bass...playfully...when they opened for Saxon a few years ago...great band live.
R.i.p eddie van Halen
you know that's not Eddie.... right....
@@jerrypol8927 i know but eddie had died when this video was uploaded.....
A Pleasant Shade of Gray has some of his best playing.
Jason Newsted wanted this guy to replace him when he left Metallica.
Metallica asked him to join the band efter Cliff died.
Great tone Joey!
The new album is fucking awesome
RIP Eddie van halen
Metal titan. New Fates album out on Nov 3rd!
I started on drums then guitar, and now Bass.
Joey fukken Vera 4 Life!

Somebody knows if the pickups are passive or active EMG?
LEGEND🤘
Hell yeah!
You cannot stop the march of the Saint and you must heed the Fate's Warning.
Like they keep repeating the video because I remember seeing this couple of months ago
That's my cousin! 😊
Bass Players Best Players
Hell yeah!
Wanna learn bass but not until I'm good a guitar 🤟
Y not learn drums as well and be as great as Gonzo,Go for it and be a multi instructionalist.
@@fabianyuselu1487 that is my dream!
But I'm pretty bad at guitar..
U can see for yourself 😪
But yeah I definitely want to learn those instruments 🤟
@@jennyguitar theres no good or bad at guitar. You can play it thats a feat in itself never give up. Hell my friend plays guitar and he has years playing and he gets amazed when i do songs on expert on guitar hero.
Like everything else in life all you need is practice practice practice if u can afford the time.
@@Stormtrooper-oc4vn lmao I ain't gonna lie guitar hero inspired me to play the actual guitar 😂
Didn't Dave Mustaine break this guy's arm and subsequently get kicked out of Metallica?
Leg!
What tuning do you play in?
Nice
Merc.Very Good
very low action on that bass, almost resting on the pickups..wonder what fx he's running thru..sounds heavy AF!
He uses sansamp stuff. Bddi and vt
are those flat wounds?
Thought this was the bachatero lol
You need to get Mike Inez to do this
Is it me or are they keep repeating these things they feel so familiar
KISS is definitely the reason why I picked up bass
Get kai Hansen from helloween to do this please
Kiss deuce uff🤘

Phil Anselmo + David Draiman = this guy
