This one is a little bit different. The song is an acoustic version of Billy Idol’s wonderful Bitter Taste.
While the song is about a motorcycle accident Idol had in the 90s, it evoked memories of long, hard days in the saddle (cycling), and specifically Everesting. Everesting is stupid. Basically, you ride up and down the same hill until you have accumulated the height of Everest, 8,848m. Officially (i.e. recognised in the Everesting Hall of Fame) I’ve done it 3 times, twice on the road and once virtually. Unofficially, I’ve done it 4 times, but the 4th (another virtual) was not recognised as the app crashed at the end of the ride and didn’t save the event file. Cue lots of swearing!!
Anyway, these rides are loooong. The video is a montage of photographs from the Everesting of a hill in Wales - a 21 hour ride. The photos run out at about 2/3 way through, as you eventually end up too potatoed to care about anything else other than the next rep.
I’ve not included a video of me playing the baseline, or cartoonified the video. The countryside is too beautiful for that.
For the bass cover itself, I played the Ibanez EHB1000S. Laying the bass line down was actually quite difficult as the base track is just Billy Idol’s vocal and Steve Stephens on guitar. The timing slightly wonders, especially at the start of verse two; trying to stay in time is hard. So there are a few, slightly mistimed notes, but ho humm…
