I've always loved the heaviness of this tune and of the whole Born Again album. With loud bass I think it sounds even better.

Since the riff is so repetitive, I figured if I was gonna cover this tune on the bass I better not use the Born Again version, but an unfinished version to add a little interest in the vid. In this version, the vocals were not all done as you can hear after Iommi's incredible guitar solo, the tune becomes instrumental. Decided to stop playing there as everyone certainly got the point by then. The lyrics in the chorus, also, are different in this version.

Played with a pick, bass driver and flanger, a rather unusual mix in my case. Completely forgot to do it downstrokes, Don't use the pick often enough.

Since this was my second vid of the day, tried a different camera angle. Might be good for 10 seconds, but almost 6 minutes of it is way too much, hehehe.

Tuning is Eb

Hard to tell which instrument I'd rather play when covering this song, the bass or the guitar...

@upthewazzu We hear the same thing, that's good. I'm not always sure. Sometimes the bass is pretty hard to hear. In this song I'm pretty sure I don't play it correct actually., but yeah, I try to manage to make it sound "right". Thanks!
