Mr. Lavender's Somebody To Love Bass Audition

[IvanMtl]

He's in the same band as Marc Martel, whose Somebody To Love vocal audition blew everyone away. I think this guy is equally as impressive playing John's bass line for the song, and there would be a natural chemstry in place if they played together. He's got my vote!

[notekidds]

You're my favourite! Go all the way!

[OkoPeeKee]

This is the best bass audtion so far. Solid player, good feel and NO OVERPLAYING (wanking)!! Nice job, Glenn. It's obvious you put some time into this and I hope the judges take note.

[thatisso80s]

YES, hire him Roger.

[abundancecoaching]

Great job Glenn! You have the talent mate! I hope you make it in there with Marc!

[notekidds]

Awesome!

[sonri07]

So totally wicked awesome!!

[imagina812]

I keep thinking that's Marc singing! Glenn - it would be incredible if the two of you get to tour together (after your current tour, of course ;) You sound great!

[territhayer]

Awesome job, love it!

[Dravenswraith]

would be cool for marc if he gets it

[mammalamma123]

The BEST bass audition by far!! He also does the trumpet fine justice! Go Glen!

[odditblue1]

Sweeeeeeet! Knew it. =)

[lunarstarship]

Lavender or Deacon !!!?????

[kimosaby1962]

Well done. I think one of the best bass auditions. Good luck with the contest.

[MauriHappy]

^.^ bien :9

[25EvaJ]

Hark the Herons, check it out. harktheherons com



[rmsturge]

This guy is in a band called 'Hark The Herons' /watch?v=4Kc9Iw-pg-8

[leahbethm]

@rmsturge To rmsturge, what are you talking about? Glenn Lavender is in the band called 'Downhere'

[MadMadamMimsy88]

@leahbethm He's in two bands, both Downhere and Hark the Herons.

[flootzavut]

@leahbethm And he's also in Hark the Herons :)

[gkevinclark]

Did everyone see Glenn smile during "This is the guitar solo!"? Classic.

[woolymittens]

@gkevinclark Yeah that was great - I think we *all* hear "This is the guitar solo" in our minds when we hear this song now :D

[25EvaJ]

Tight bass lines. Walks it just like Deacon. Doesn't get fancy or push timing while expressing. Just how bass should be played: rock steady and accentuating the musical foundation.

[jobilenblackmore]

Glenn,Glenn, GLenn! I wondered when you were going to audition! Great going! Wishing you and Marc all the Best with your auditions.  Joanne and Leonard

[plethoraTone]

Mr. Lavender lays down bass solid as a rock! Chris Brush gooves drums like mad, and has a personality to match. If they and Marc Martel have been making awesome music together for years and years then I say BRING IT ON - WE'VE GOT OUR WINNERS!!!

[Rebelutionary4Him]

People have already expressed my exact thoughts. We need Glenn and Marc to win this! These guys are incredible.

[hisroadpro]

Awesome job Glenn!!

[ang0511]

Wow, you nailed it. See you in concert when your tour brings you to Los Angeles.

[customstix]

Great job!!!

[robinson74100]

Wow Glenn, I think your audition has gone bacterial!

[Zelinna12]

Yes Downhere can just finish their new tour then go on the road for this Queen show, perfect, get the other guys to audition & it's over! lol amazing!

[cramletram]

Nice work Glenn! Even got the right tone out of that thing. We gotta get this guy on the tour!

[seenev]

@cramletram Hey Marc, what does cramletram mean? Wondered for a long time...

[staystrong8966]

@seenev ummmm it's his name, backwards.

[seenev]

@staystrong8966 Wow. I feel pretty slow now!

[djknee]

@seenev look at the user name very closely...look at it backwards, even!

[bumpedandbruised]

@seenev cramletram is Marc Martel spelled backwards.

[SalvationArmyTV]

YES! nicely done guys

[staystrong8966]

Oh right, of course Jason won't be auditioning. The reason their band has next spring off is because his wife is having a baby in Feb.

[gfletcher72]

Nice made the 40 Top Rated Today - Music - United Kingdom!!! Way to go Glenn!

And for the record 1 person needs somebody to love.

[mkoentopp]

LAVENDER!!!!!!!!!!!! YUSSSSS! :D

[staystrong8966]

Where are Jeremy and Jason!! You guys are awesome!! Good luck, Brother!

[ForHim4ever1]

Is this because there is more fame in this than Downhere?

[freedomdeep]

Glenn I was elated to see your audition video as well! I was thinking this week "Why hasn't the rest of the band taken part?" Y'all are talented and I echo the statements from the other down-homies that we need the rest of band auditioning as well! What a kick that would be!

[rmsturge]

He played John Deacon's bass lines in Somebody To Love note for note, and even got the 'slides' in there! Awesome job!! This guy obviously did his homework, so I hope the judges notice. In some concert footage of Queen, John Deacon is wearing a blue t-shirt, so is it coincidence that he's wearing one too? He even has that classic Fender shoulder strap that John used. The only thing that could have made this audition better would have been to play a Fender P Bass!

[djknee]

@rmsturge Bahahahaha! 

[donloux]

If you like his performance, then link to this video on your Facebook page. You can check out his band's YouTube page.

[NellaTorre]

Did anyone ever tell you that you have an uncanny resemblance to Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam AND you play bass? What is happening? Is good music FINALLY coming back? Rock ISN'T dead? *brain explodes*

[f1fan001]

Funny... I hear Freddie singing, but all I can see is Marc. It's only after hearing the LP version do you see how good a job Marc does. Good luck to both!

[leahbethm]

@f1fan001 Marc's "This is the guitar solo" line is missing  ;)

[25EvaJ]

This guy plays in Hark the Herons

[25EvaJ]

Marc replicates Freddy while Mr Lavender reincarnates John Deacon's tight shirt and steady play.

[25EvaJ]

This is going to go VIRAL!

[jb4travel]

Yea Glenn!!! I was hoping to see you audition. Great job...It would be soooo cool if you got it along with Marc....And let's bring in Jeremy and Jason, too!!! You rock, man!!!

[LittleDende]

Sounds great!

[lauracwhitney]

It would be great if both of you got on board that train. It's not like you would have to become accustomed to working together!!!!

[lauracwhitney]

Great performance, Glenn!  I hope you get lots of views and likes.

[jenjen2132]

Amazing job, Glenn! And look how clean your room is. :-)

[seenev]

Well-played sir.

[spongebobbette23]

no dislikes.

as it should be. :)

[gfletcher72]

This made my day!!! I have long appreciated the musical talents (and tongue in cheek comedy) of the Downhere guys. You Rock, Glenn... can't wait to see Jason's and Jeremy's auditions. See you Tuesday at your show in Lawrence, KS!

[nettiethehorse]

Nice job:)

[devinandyolanda]

Sa-weeet!  Good job.

[chigirl66]

That's hilarious! But he's also extremely talented. Let's get all the downhere boys in on this!

[louseatmac]

Awe yeah glenn Do work

[vbobkovsky]

With a dirty... err. beard :)

I loved that part, dude!

[Debe2]

This has zero to do with Marc and all to do with merit, dude, you got merit. Great job! Best Bass yet!!! 

[ryanspringer]

Love ya, Glenn!! Great job my friend!

[LCGone]

Why not....Enjoy the ride....and shine that light of your BOYS!

[ertwro]

Way to go!! It would be awesome if both you get selected. Oh, man.

[HOLYSMOKES07]

Great job.. Stellar!

[1kalika]

is the vocal marc or freddie? ahhhh..didnt hear "this is the guitar solo""must be freddie

[itsmetrix]

I am biased, but I think Glenn totally rocks! Go get 'em bro!

[ms31489]

This made my day! This would be FABULOUS!

[DebbieJ74]

Fabulous as always! You know you have my vote!

[bobthompson121]

Fantastic! The only thing keeping you from 3.5 million views is that your studio is too neat.

[flootzavut]

Sweet :D

[bumpedandbruised]

As usual, great bassing Glenn! Now get the other two on board so you guys can take over the world!! :D

[lifeloveandstarbucks]

Why don't they just pick all of you from downhere? You can become Queen for 2012 :) you're all wicked talented anyways!

[pastordice]

AMAZING!! it's like the base line has been reincarnated! Did Queen's bassist have a baby we don't know about? QUEEN'S BASS LIVES!!

[funguy6862]

y did u say a beard?is it cus marc martel said :dirty stache?

[AS6VIDEO]

nice one

[qlada]

Wonderful! Good luck!

[zoidbergsr]

Why don't you change name from "Downhere" to "Queen 2 The Revenge"? Nice Done anyway!

[mabelenito]

@zoidbergsr LOL at this comment!

[MadMadamMimsy88]

Because everything Mr. Lavender does is "with a beard."

EXCELLENT job, friend. It hit me "right here."

[leahbethm]

Okay, Marc is already in and here's Glenn - so now all we need is the audition videos for Jason Germain (piano) and Jeremy Thiessen (drums) - and then we'll have the WHOLE DownHere band in the competition !!!

[bonzothegreat1]

@leahbethm Well Chris Brush who auditioned is their music producer. 0_O

[djknee]

I am happy to leave the first comment! You had to learn the song anyway, eh?!

Good on ya, Mr. Lavender! You & the beard! ha! You've got my vote! =D
