How to play bass on stage

[tedthemoose]

BADASS les paul clock on the wall!!! Want one!

[pitufin861]

You're an idiot..

[tjazzs]

Wow, i guess I've been doing it all wrong

[penk0]

tumbs up for QCambor

[Hilbrandi]

I´m in love with the Les Paul clock on the wall...

[overdriven77]

i like this dude

[noisyneil]

i didn't know doug stanhope played bass when he was twelve

[JoshWMyers]

THUMBS UP IF YOU LIKE BIG BOOBS!!!!!

[Apemopo]

no pabst blue ribbon in finland. this video is absolutely right, i must start shaking my crotch more. not my ass or my hips. my crotch. mmyeahh.

[flutedevil123]

I don't think a majority of the last one applies to girl bassists XD

[JoshWMyers]

@flutedevil123 I like to think the last tip DOES apply to lady bassists, too.

[flutedevil123]

@JoshWMyers I was referring to how women don't have 'bratwurst' XD So yeah, most of it does, but those parts not so much.

[BIRTHRIGHT81]

Me, You, Brass Knuckles... you dead.

[Cleevous666]

This cheered me up in the morning XD

[Hilbrandi]

waaaaaaahahahaha!!!! you couldn´t believe how much I laughed with this...

[muzboz]

He's right. About all of it.

Especially the cucumber.

Bring the bratwurst.

[eleme88]

why would you be drinking pbr?

[frankus54]

It's about time someone has the balls to put this up. Screw this standing next to the hats letting those wanker singers and torturous grimace faced string bending "get off the cat" tosser guitar players hog the bitches!

PS how do you know when there's a singer at the door? He can't find the key and if he finds it he doesn't know when to come in and when he finally does, he tries to root your girlfriend.

[crazytrain7114]

as a good friend of mine once said : chicks come to see the singer, guys come to listen to the lead. but they all dance for me!

[Hilbrandi]

@crazytrain7114 those are words of wisdom...

[MrAzuma69]

This is fuckin' priceless! I made sure all my bass-player friends watched this so they could learn proper Bass etiquette when on stage. Gotta get that cucumber out there in the faces of all the 18 yr. old girls!!!!! Bravo Darren, Bravo!!!!

[ampeg2012]

are u a dweeb

[DieYuppieScum80]

What do you say to a bass player at your front door? "Thanks for the pizza, keep the change!"

[TanitsuMe]

bad video to watch at the morning

[JayMichaelRayne]

maybe his voice is the reason why he plays the bass

[SnerkaSnerka]

My dad grew up in georgia in the 70s and I always hear his crazy stories of when him and his friends drank pabst blue ribbom :)

[BassmanSW]

Pabst? Good God man.

[helge1966]

He forgot TIP NO.1 (which he himself failed to obey): Don't have a voice like a girl, otherwise rather play flute than a manly instrument like bass!

[3PEEPSproduction]

Ashley Purdy is great at this!!

[Yowanowskeee94]

Bassist are so poor,so they need a lesson how to play on stage... Good job bassist,BRAVO!!!Can you make a video about How to play bass on funeral or something...?

[LiveCanadian]

So fucking funny :D

[Inuaraq0111]

so.. to recap (drinking) and then a "true" rock'n roller looks like he hates beer wtf..!

[sms1960]

This guy is Don Knott's grandson, no kidding

[iriszapora]

pretty freakin awesome! reminds me of my dumbass ex-bf who would stand there like an asshole *face palm*

[calesingleton11]

A MUTHAFUCKIN PAINTBRUSH!!

[Yonarous]

Finally a guy who understands what's it all about

[vzsozs]

they need to see your BRATWURST!!! :D

[metalhardpunk182]

Pabst blue ribbon= beer for rednecks and old men. Drink a mans drink buddy. I play shows and have rum n coke or vodka and redbull

[sko12342]

I don't like cucumber...

[MikeLuceroKrunch]

That was just straight out funny.

[jjjxxx777]

PBR is old school homie!!! Like Schlitz, Blatz, & Schaefers.......Hahahaha!! Never to drink when warm!! Hahaha.

[Koachiebaww]

@SRStrollisSRS Bad troll is bad.

0.5/10

[gabrielle0869]

Dude you are hilarious! Obviously a large number of professional musicians like your views because they have this video link on their websites. Ignore the negatives comments - jealousy and self-image issues fuel that behaviour.

[MrMousefield]

well that's information that I'll never want to use.....fuck you're terrible lol

[maxtazer2000]

@MrMousefield Whats terrible? Its information YOU never will use because you will never be on stage. This guy is right. Or perhaps you just have a small cucumber.

[MrMousefield]

@maxtazer2000 I've been on stage dude, I know what to do, and what he explained makes you look like a retard lol

I agree to not just stand there, but this guy is just way too full of himself, no one should EVER take advice from him, if you want advice, watch some of your famous Idols, not some dude with a webcam and a youtube account

[MrMousefield]

@HelterSchecter oh yeah? you sure showed me up with that comment......dooche

[nelpimienta]

ROLFMAO! xD

[funkybassman1991]

lmfao deliver the cucumber!! 

[tecumseh01]

facebook dot com / steve vai



[tecumseh01]

Do you know Steve Vai posted your video on his facebook!! lol awesome!!

Steve Vai

Hey, Steve here. I found this clip of insightful words of wisdom for performing live. This guy is now one of my heroes. It's like he knows my stage secrets.

THATS WHAT HE SAID ON HIS PAGE ABOUT YOU.

[kornjubi]

@tecumseh01 Scott Travis from Priest has also posted his video on his facebook. :)

[juliogurrola]

[OWNER132]

[GuyWithALife502]

so be like justin(tool) an hump the fuck out of your bass ok got it haha

[maxtazer2000]

@Khaospenguiny Hey Dickhead, you don’t know me. Whether or not you could get a crowd going is your own problem. I know Ron and respect him. He is a great teacher and a gentle man. Jazz just isn’t my thing and your obviously the stereotype jazz asshole that thinks it’s the only way. This kids just having fun and making people smile, so why don’t you take your real book and shove it up your ass.

[MegaRarebear]

they arent that tight

[maxtazer2000]

Dude, you rule!!! I have been playing bass for 35 years in all kinds of situations and I agree with what you say. Forget about the gear, the technique just own that shit!!! People ask me if I can play jazz and I say f**c you! If I wanted to play jazz I would be better than they were and would not play with bar crowd jazz loosers anyway. Keep up the good work but you should try to experiement with more tasty brew.

[Khaospenguiny]

@maxtazer2000 You couldn't play jazz even if your name was Ron.

This video is damn funny, but music isn't a sport.

Welcome to the mediocrity that will occupy the rest of your life.

[johndavidwrightphoto]

PBR PBR PBR PBR.

[supabass4003]

how drunk is this guy

[irishryno2000]

That was definitely PABST BLUE RIDDEN BEER.  fits with his accent and use of the f word every third word. I am so proud to be from the south.

[tweekin001]

87 people wear baggy jeans.

[lyesosweet]

Yeah I'm a chick, so no matter how tight my pants are there will NEVER be a "cucumber" shown when I lift my bass over my head.

PS Pabst is indeed sold where I live.

[teenagefrankestein13]

PBR: Pretty Bassy Riffs!

[rednotchilipeppers]

you forgot the rock face. must have rock face. stoic rock face don't work.

[DoubleBB88]

Tell me he was not drinking PBR!

[DoubleBB88]

Tell me he was not drinking PBR!

[JimBites]

Yup, I is gonna follow this dude's advice to the leter; after all, he is got such a klassy place that must be worth ten of them thar thousand doller bils, and he nos his base players, two, and the portance of a long tung....and that thar big botle of bubly must be worth at least ten dolers! other cuntries say were stoopid here in America but they shoud take a close look at this dude and they woulod SAY IT LOUDER!!!!!!!!! PBR is to beer what this clown is to the bass.

[brasssax15]

[mrciaran96]

@brasssax15 its a fucking joke. God, some people are just fucking morons

[academyofrock]

You will also enjoy my new book Punk Rock People Management

[DaRealBlubberyWalrus]

LMFAO XD creeper music

[elliotholden]

Everything this dude is saying is right on and will help your career. You should already be able to play before you get on stage. But not everyone knows how to perform. I hope it's not a joke!

E.

[oeight74]

You rule!

[ChoosyMothersVideos]

Interesting that this video about 'bass playing' contains no information about music whatsoever. God I HOPE this is a joke, but you can't be too sure these days...

[BennettChainmail]

@ChoosyMothersVideos

If this video is a joke, it's fucking hilarious!

If this video is serious, it's fucking hilarious!

[SmallTimeMusicians]

Small Time Musician selected this video for the "Cool Video" page this month

[bassralphy]

This is so funny! haha! Made my monday a whole lot better!

[heavymetalmuppets]

Fuckin' brilliant!!

[lindseyblair]

[romerilmatt]

WOW. Ok..... haha

[BDubbleDizzle]

you are my hero... my drunken pilled out hero

[tmoodyband]

I love this dude!

[AnarchyRepublic]

dry humpin the shit out of it!

[adamcook6]

82 people don't know where they can get their Pabst Blue Ribbon at.

[taniabootsy]

took your medicine on time?!

[filedofmignozzi]

this is actually your best video so far,

cause you don't play your fucking bass!!

retarded.

[smartestmanonnet]

The guy's 100% right. And that's coming from the smartest man on the net

[makemusicbetter]

The front is the most important ok? lmfao

[93JPH]

Brett Hestla brought me here.

[pistache7]

[raylovesrock182]

AHAHAAHAH DUDE U SOUND LIKE MR BRUCE FROM FAMILY GUY AAHAHA "OHHH NO!!"

[MaxB11]

[RichieRiotToo]

If you want real tight jeans, buy jeggings.... all real rockers wear jeggings.

[MrBlack125]

awesome.

[mrBelfegorr]

what s new..without offense,every musician knows that  O.o

[DaJayManable]

Woops I mean, 2:31

[DaJayManable]

2:33 yes!

[sms1960]

I didn't know Don Knotts grandson was a bass player

[joshuak80]

PBR is the SHIT!!!

[menudobutcher]

He doesn't seem to be enjoying that Pabst at all. Not very rock 'n' roll

[mawalley]

Furthermore, Gene Simmons is a fag, but you know his name, don't ya?

[mawalley]

Skoolboy, you troll. You must be a lead guitarist. People tap their feet to the drums and move their bodies to the bass. No rhythm section leaves some guy wanking with a guitar in his hand. Nobody wants to see you wanking.

[mawalley]

And PBR is great beer. The fact that it's cheap is just a bonus.

[SCOTTWARNER365]

ok but how do i play guitar on stage

[00skoolboy00]

that beer is cheap shit

[00skoolboy00]

gene simons is a fag

[00skoolboy00]

i think if i saw this guy playing bass on stage and dry humping it id leave...

bass belongs in the back where no one can see it cause guess what... no one cares!

what cucumber? and tight jeans are for scene kids.

GOSH!

[OsynligGurka]

It's kind of funny that he never plays anything.

[jrmhbky]

PBR is the worst shit ever.

[pranjalchaubey]

I want that wall clock! 

[MrDemeter69]

clown....

[Cinnamon2814]

Jack your foot up on the P.A monitor, and start Dry-humpin the SHIT outta your bass xD

[FreaquedeMusique]

Maybe use ur beercan as a slider?? Thatd be epic, beer & bass

[razgriz229]

Thumbs Up If You Come Here By Steve Vai

[LelanderSax]

This is freakin' awesome! Good work Darren.  Much chuckling.

[Sullivan25]

"The front is the most important !! OK? ***BUUURP***" hahaha !

[Sullivan25]

@Sullivan25 at 2:29 :)

[hecbiz75]

You're a genius. If you write a book, I'm buying it. Fo' shizzle.

I got my bratwurst ready for my next gig, and my TIGHT ASS jeans. It's gonna be EPIC.

[StiansNorskeNyheter]

You have a very ugly face... serious.. hope you never go outside dude, because your really ugly..........

Just sayin

[darthfener2]

[SamritpalSingh]

Hahaha that burp got me!

[6XstringXsamurai]

turn that Frankenstein into a FrankenFINE!!!

[123abrik]

@2:32 GREAT BURP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO

[esroberto1]

You forgot an important element -- a good bit of compression on the bass so you can hammer-on all the notes with your left hand and use the right hand for pointing at girls and drinking PBR. Trust me, I've made a career outta it.

[slickdog78]

I saw this on Ed Friedland's channel (BassGuitarMag) and figured I'd check it out. This guy's classic. I've been trying to tell my buddy that the bass has to be up front.

[keptback]

I'm confused now. Should I "enhancing" with a cucumber or a bratwurst? Teach me more, Obi Wan.

[BassistOfBodines]

Great video!! haha love it

[fishpaw23]

Your, sir, are a god among men. I and my cucumber salute you.

[Bassman1Thomas]

Hah! Perfect that the beer is a PBR! Gotta get me some ass-tight jeans!

[wkriski]
