Rush - 'Distant Early Warning' (Bass Cover)

There is something about Geddy Lee basslines from the 80s. His whole way about them is just out of this world. I rediscovered Rush albums from that decade during lock-down and did a deeper dive just recently. From the basslines' composition, the licks and overall tonal qualities... masterpieces all over.

Bass: Wal MK2
Tuning: Standard

The WAL tone is just immaculate lol would love to see "The Pass" on that beast, such a great track. Great job as always Kello! And that fill at 3:46 is just wild lmaaaoooo

[linctexpilot]

That was *phenomenal* … There’s no other word to describe it.
To say it was “excellent” or “awesome” just isn’t adequate.

Grace Under Pressure... an underrated masterpiece

THAT RIFF/FILL AT 2:38 IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
DAMN.

October 26, 1991. Presto tour. Eric Johnson opening. 4th song was Distant Early Warning. Floor seating, center aisle. Great visibility of the stage. I really hope you had a chance to see Rush live, Kello! Such incredible musicians. For every bit of magic they had in the studio, there was twice as much magic in their live shows!

The usual platitudes for the excellent cover, as always!

The Wal -- greatest instrument ever invented. God built it for Geddy, 'nuff said

Excellent cover. My absolute favorite band to see live. I'll miss those tours, RIP Neil.

When Kello drops a new video I stop what I’m doing to watch! 😊

Todo lo bueno merece ser tocado por el maestro Kello y su toque especial. Saludos desde España, hermano.

My favourite era of Rush, and one of my favourite songs of theirs! Killer cover, Kello!

[bobcarn]

Wow! Great cover. Your bass has a GREAT tone! I love that bass in that song, and I love your touches to it. You nailed it!

[ihaveadog]

I love the fact that you are such a tough guy, who's playing tough musik, but you just surprised me) Thank you for your work!

[ChemicalMusic]

Long my fave Rush album. Geddy does some his best playing IMO. KELLO, another masterful presentation.

ojalá haber encontrado tu canal antes, es una joya! me diste ganas de darle otra escuchada a GUP, gracias a ti escuché notas aquí que nunca antes JAJAJ.

[BSSailorMoon]

Yo siempre pensé que el bajo solo sirve para tocar la 4ta cuerda al aire, vivi engañada jaja, gracias por tus videos que hacen que le eche ganas a la vida

[malcolmh]

Very nice man! Props! Nice bass sound you got rollin' there too!

[JsnHgl]

Making me want to deep dive Rush’s catalog as well. It’s been a while.
Awesome work here as usual Kello!

[aldomichel]

Siempre he tenido el disco de “Grace under pressure” de Rush en un lugar especial en mi corazón porque todas sus canciones traen alegría a mi corazón, excelente cover Mr. Kello.

Mis mejores deseos.

Love Geddy Lee, and love Rush. This song is one of theirs that can easily get stuck in my head, i'll find myself singing 'red alert, red alert'. You did a great cover here 🤘
