Metallica is celebrating the 30th anniversary of their album …And Justice For All by posting live versions of each song from the album. They’ve just posted a clip of “To Live is To Die” from its first ever (and only) full-length live performance in 2011. The song is mostly instrumental and was written as a tribute to Cliff Burton, who...

Cassius Lambert sent us this video of his solo bass tune, “Aralia.” His composition skills and use of effects combine to create one stunning soundscape.

I wasn’t familiar with The Band Geeks until I spotted this video by them. And I’m glad I watched it. In this clip, the band (with Richie Castellano on bass) performs a masterful cover of “Close To The Edge” by Yes.

KNKX Public Radio posted this video last month, with this description: “When great musicians push themselves to do something different, it can be an exciting prospect. Christian McBride’s New Jawn quartet is a great example of that. And when those musicians really enjoy that challenge, that’s when the magic of jazz happens.” Here’s the band in a live performance of...

Nathan Navarro shared this video saying, “I grabbed 10 of the craziest basses I could find at Warwick’s GuitCon 2018 event. I ducked into one of their offices and filmed a quick video with each of them. My personal favorite was a tie between the Alien Bass, Nobby Meidel, and quadruple pickup Streamer.” Here’s the complete list, in order of...

Cryptopsy have a new album coming out next week called The Book of Suffering – Tome II, and they’re gearing fans up for it with this killer guitar and bass playthrough of the song “Fear His Displeasure.” Bassist Olivier Pinard tears it up with a crushing tone. “On this recording I used my Spector Euro 5 LX with Elixir strings...

We’ve shared a video of Adam Ben Ezra performing his tune “Silk Road” with his trio. Now he’s back with another video, this time performing it as a solo bass piece. Always great to see a new video from Adam!

Our friend Iain Hodges sent us this video, along with this note: “I noticed that you haven’t yet featured anything from the band ‘Polyphia’ yet. They have been evolving from the Progressive Metal/Djent scene as an instrumental band, moving through genres and developing their own distinct niche. I’m only a fan and have no connection with the band. I thought...

Our friend Jody Miller shared another great video with us. “I was able to get a couple hours with John Ferrara (bass) and Seth Moutal (Tablas/drums) while they were on tour coming through Chicago,” Jody shared. “You are already familiar with John’s work, I’ve seen interviews that you have done together. Hope you like it.” The video is short, but...

I love it when Panagiotis Andreou checks in with us, because he’s bound to have something incredible to share. After he sent his last email, I watched this video three times in a row. “I’ve been touring a lot with various projects and the following is a video from Quincy Jones birthday celebration playing with Alfredo Rodriguez trio,” Andreou shared....

Dmitry Lisenko shared this video from GuitCon 2018, and it is our kind of video. Eight bass players got together to pull off an all-bass arrangement of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.” The line up includes Lisenko, Ove Bosch, Nathan Navarro, Jonathan Munnier, Nick Schendzielos, Chris Rodriguez, Adam Neely, and Jayme Lewis.

When I was a kid, I wore out my copy of King Crimson’s debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King. One of my favorite tracks was “21st Century Schizoid Man,” so it was cool to see this video of the band performing it in 2015. Of course, Tony Levin wasn’t on the original recording, but he nailed this...
