Bass Cover #227: KISS - I'm A Legend Tonight
covers · 07. July 2025
As far as I remember, "Killers" was the first vinyl Kiss album I held in my hands. Maybe that's why it has a special meaning for me. Some might say that it's just a compilation of previously released songs + 4 new, not-so-good Paul's songs, but at that time I hadn't heard most of the Kiss albums, so everything sounded very fresh and cool. As for the new songs, I understand that they needed some more work, but in fact they were quite good, especially "Nowhere to Run". But we'll get to that one...

Wave Gotik Treffen 2025
events · 27. June 2025
This year's WGT happened to be quite short. The choice of bands was limited for me, and I was also forced to almost completely miss the second day, since I had to go to Berlin for the King Diamond concert. But I still saw a lot of interesting acts. I saw Mila Mar for the first time and she was divine! Joachim Witt is something! I really want to go to his solo concert now. I also saw VKgoeswild for the first time and of course listening to her on video or Spotify is nothing compared to a live...

Bass Cover #226: W.A.S.P. - Scream Until You Like It
covers · 23. June 2025
Not one of my favorite W.A.S.P. song but it's still really groovy. Probably it was the last “kind-of-classic” W.A.S.P. song in the band's history and it was also the first band's official video I've seen (together with “I Don't Need No Doctor”). Johnny Rod made a cool bass part too. Enjoy!

Bass Cover #225: CANDLEMASS - Seven Silver Keys
covers · 09. June 2025
The Candlemass' reunion album with Messiah Marcolin on vocals was quite a release with many really good songs. Here's just one of them, “Seven Silver Keys”. Cool songs with a very simple bass part you can play with your eyes closed.

Bass Cover #224: VENOM - Crucified
02. June 2025
I have to confess I've never been a huge Venom fan but I'm definitely a fan of the album “From The Very Depths”. I was used to classic Venom being more heavy punk than metal in the full sense of the word, but this album seemed really cool to me! Finally melodies, finally riffs, finally real songs! Maybe not very technically complex, but exactly what I needed at that moment. I highly recommend it to those who are looking for simple, but very catchy metal, to which you can bang your head :)

Bass Cover #223: CRISS - Bad People Burn In Hell
covers · 26. May 2025
1994 was a weird year for a KISS fan. KISS didn't release anything but an official cover album “Kiss My Ass – Classic Kiss Regrooved” and I remember myself having mixed feelings about it. On the other hand, Peter Criss finally released an album with his long-suffering band Criss called "Cat #1" (if you don't know why this album was long-suffering, I highly recommend reading Peter's autobiography). And this album was... a bit weird. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of good songs on it...

Bass Cover #222: ALICE COOPER - Little By Little
covers · 19. May 2025
Lately I've been listening to Alice Cooper's later albums, starting with "Trash". Alice recorded a lot of great songs at the time, many of which have been lost in his catalog. One of them is "Little by Little", which I think is one of the best songs on the "Hey Stoopid" album. Enjoy!

Bass Cover #221: RAY CHARLES - Hit The Road Jack
covers · 12. May 2025
The song doesn't need much introduction, everyone knows it and it's another song that my parents loved when they were young. Plus it's very easy to play, so have fun :)

Bass Cover #220: PAT BOONE - Speedy Gonzales
covers · 05. May 2025
I'm in that special mood right now where I like to remember the music that was playing in my parents' house. Not that it was always playing (in my room it was only quiet at night), but when my parents were in a good mood and they wanted to play me the music they loved when they were younger, it was the Beatles, Pat Boone, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald... that kind of thing. I didn't like all of it, but some of it really stuck in my mind. Like "Speedy Gonzales" by Pat Boone. It's a really funny...

Bass Cover #219: CELLAR DARLING - Death
29. April 2025
„Death“ is one of the coolest songs of the Swiss progressive metal band Cellar Darling, formed by Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi, and Merlin Sutter after all three of them left Eluveitie. I used to like Eluveitie quite a lot, but then Anna left, and I noticed that all my favorite Eluveitie songs were actually sung by her. So, I naturally moved on to Cellar Darling.
