Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, thought I’d learn some more romantic/love songs like I did last February. This one was pretty simple one but that’s okay because this is one of my favorites on the Diamond Eyes album. Gonna just take it easy for a while to fit the weather and season.

Thanks @Lanny ! It’s not so bad once you get the feel but I’m amazed that Phil Lynott could play and sing at the same time…

Ok… this has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day. 
I was just wondering if this would sound good on my Spector and I’m inadvertently a little under halfway done learning this album and I think the bass line sounds really good lol

I first produced my pistol…
Then produced my rapier…
I said “Stand, and deliver”…
Or the Devil, he may take ya…
This was an accidental song… I saw a play-along on Youtube… and figured what the hell? Threw a couple hours at it… Dropped that E to a D… and had some fun.

Those were two great covers John! Well played!
@BumbleJazz
The Spector sounds great! What is the signal chain that you used?

@sunDOG I think you can quite confidently call yourself a bassist already! Great job on the the obscure Duran Duran song, as I said on YouTube, it isn’t one I’ve heard before.
@Ed Fantastic job, great song , great energy. It really was excellent.
@BumbleJazz You absolutely nailed both of those. Like others, I feel the desire to listen to Deftones now!
@Buzzin_Canada-John ZZ Top-Tush Makes me want to learn some ZZ Top. I love Blues/rock.
Whisky In The Jar, well played for a rush job John
The Metallica version makes me laugh, for some reason I think Hetfield sounds a bit Cornish on it. It doesn’t make it any better though

ZZ Top is hella fun to play… and they got LOTS of good stuff from a LOOOOONG career
The Metallica version ( for me at least ) is far superior to a) the Thin Lizzy cover and b) the original … I loved the heavy treatment they gave to the song, and actually I found James to be a perfect fit for the tune. ( again, just me… everyone has different takes ) As for the rush thing… LOL … I wasn’t even going to do the tune, until I saw the playalong on YT… LOL!
I’ll get it all ironed out… it is a fun tune to play
Thanks for the input!

I did have Eliminator and Afterburner a long time ago, like many other albums, they vanished. I also remember being introduced to their early stuff, and that was proper blues, it was great.

Funny thing… That was ZZ Top’s ‘Black Album’ era (referring to Metallica’s commercialization) … That was when all the gimicks came in, and it was all about image… You are 100% right… the early stuff was the good stuff.
Don’t get me wrong… I liked the MTV stuff… that was great too… but it wasn’t blues
