Title: Weekend - fretless bass cover with (attempted) backing vocals
Post by: Weiyun on April 05, 2016, 09:03:15 PM

Hi fellow X Japan fans!

I made an account to share this cover I just did of Weekend on fretless bass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmM0WsO5HRw

J-rock, and especially Taiji and Toshiya (Dir en Grey), were the reason I picked up bass over guitar many years ago.  I've since got into a bunch of other stuff and switched to fretless finger style, but I'll never forget the inspiration from those wicked early X Japan basslines.  Hope you like it!

Thank you!  It's such an infectiously fun song to sing along to, isn't it? ;D
