How To Play Detroit Rock City On Bass

1. I'chiliad a large KISS fan and Detroit Rock City was the first song I always learned to play on bass, and for that I will forever be grateful to Cistron Simmons.

   I stumbled upon this and was very excited to hear it.

   And I thought I would share it. Pretty tasty.

   

5. Dude this is so cool... I dearest Buss! I've got posters and all that. Gene might non exist a virtuoso bass player, but his lines fit and really gave KISS rumble. And he wore real big shoes - what's not to love about real big shoes?

9. there seems to exist a lot of this stuff popping upward on youtube.... ben orr from the cars lines have been isolated and posted

13. I was a truthful Kiss freak during my teenage years and I'chiliad so glad to hear this recording. Very cool. Cheers for sharing!

18. IIRC, any song that has been put into the "Guitar" games can have the tracks ISO'd because they are put on the disc that fashion. Great find and suggest yous archive information technology before the YT police pull it.

22. His lines do fit and are not bad for the music. I like that it'south a petty sloppy too... reminds me that my slight sloppiness is OK (I play rock music) and I am a flake likewise critical of myself. This feels correct though non virtuoso playing

26. Believe me, I did.

    

30. Just found a couple more. Alive ones and some other studio 1.

34. That bass has no sustain at all.

    I've got to say...This is embarassing.
    I've been playing bass for 25+ years...I've never understood bass baloney.....Now I get it.

    Its non me, merely I get information technology

47. Yup. I didn't either until a really raucous ring enlisted me a few years ago. I happened to have a Bassman 300 Pro and used the distortion aqueduct for the heck of it one rehearsal.... totally fit the beak. It'south all about what information technology sounds like in the mix.

51. I was thinking the same matter. Most of the guys using this distorted blazon tone live (and on clips posted on TB) sound very thin... distortion and aught else. This clip almost sounds similar the bass is double tracked... one rails dirty and ane make clean. You tin hear a very deep, make clean, sustaining bass tone underneath that grindy mid and treble that delays quicker than the fundamental of the note.

    This tone is rarely achieved IMO. I know very little about Osculation (other than I saw 1 of their first US gigs opening for Rush at the old KSHE Kite Fly in ST. Louis and they were boo'd off the stage), but information technology seems Gene was running a splitter or something to get a clean and dirty point combined (similar to what Squire achieved with his 'Ric-o-sound' stereo tone).

    That bass tone sounds great for that context.

55. crawly, this is the song that made me want to play bass.. I can remember sitting on the floor for hours trying to learn the bass part.. just about destroyed the 8 rails record..!!!

    hahah

    Agreed, information technology sounds great. I've noticed that in rock, alot of times, a bass volition sound much better in a mix if information technology'due south distorted than if information technology'south clean.

    As for the signal, yes that is likely what he did. He did the exact same affair when they would play live from 1973-early 1975. He would have one SVT running clean tone and another one running the grindy/distorted tone.

63. Ha. Ane of my alltime favorite basslines.

    How do you archive something before they take it down? I'd similar to have this.

80. The first song adept in my first band in 1978!
