Mammoth Strip Down “The Spell” for an Acoustic Set with Ronnie Ficarro

Mammoth WVH stopped by Zane Lowe for an acoustic session on Apple Music, performing “The Spell” in a stripped down setting that reminds me of the “Unplugged” days.  Everyone is on acoustics except bassist Ronnie Ficarro, who holds it down on a Music Man. That contrast works. The guitars are light and open and the bass fills the space with depth and warmth.

Wolfgang Van Halen leads the band on acoustic guitar and vocals, and the whole thing feels relaxed but tight.

No noise, no tricks, just a solid performance from someone working to keep Rock n Roll alive.

No Treble CEO Jody Miller is a Chicago-based bassist, guitarist, engineer, and producer best known for his bass gear demo videos and as the co-host of The Bass Nerds podcast.
