[vanessa4u4evr]

Saw him last night. He's 65 years old and the brother blew the freakin' roof off the sucka'! That brother gave us an education!!!

[fervent66]

@vanessa4u4evr GET OUT !!!!. where did he play ?. i had no idea, he was doing shows

every now and then. where can i find any tour dates on this guy ?.

[vanessa4u4evr]

@fervent66 He played to a sold-out audience at the Ramshead in Annapolis, MD. He had just come off of a European tour and was doing some small gigs on his way back home to Minneapolis. I'm sure he has a website that you can check out to find his tour dates. Peace.

[fervent66]

@vanessa4u4evr i know where Annapolis, MD is. but not Ramshead. i have heard of it on 98 rock. maybe one day, he will come to the Verizon Center. i do know where that is. hopefully, if he ever did come there, i don't mind the travel to see him. thanx again for the info.

[kobyisraelite]

wow...amazing!!! so much groove, in one person

[videostan]

wow....Larry's the cat's titty.

[elfy99803]

I once did that, in a dream :/

[danasbUK]

Larry Graham is a quality bass player no doubt. But his sound just isn't that funky...or interesting. It seems to be primarily for a white audience. Bootsy Collins every day of the week for me. Out of body experience!

[MaChKuLjA]

@danasbUK Someone who sais that Grahams sound isnt funky enough is eather deaf or knows nothink about funk :*

[MaChKuLjA]

@danasbUK Though Bootsy is a legend too.... ^^

[MegaRhcp4ever]

I wish for jimi hendrex and Larry gram to make a band thata been sweat

[LucDaRocka1]

@MegaRhcp4ever YEAH THAT WOULD BE EPIC!

[f0oF1GhTeR1995]

@MegaRhcp4ever there are unfortunately a few flaws in your idea but good anyway

[mazaratialbum]

he's a fuckin legend,. lol....he's got those 7 inch thumbs, hahahahahaha :p

[53redcobra]

He's the Hendrix of the bass...he's fantastic.

[ylcn77ylcn]

[ZyklonCable]

He is like jimi hendrix, but on the bass. Hell his tune is awesome

[JasonAlvarado46]

[spaceman1x]

@JasonAlvarado46 very good observation. Made me giggle anyway.

[panteralover23]

The Love Boat will never be the same again! :)

[DecimusXAM]

He plays bass for Prince now.

[DrFillLindell]

@DecimusXAM

He makes guest appearances once in a while, but Ida Funkhauser plays bass for Prince on a regular basis in the NPG band.

[ClaesSorensson]

He is driving the ship! :)

[EGIL94]

WAW :D :D :D :D

[videogamer1805]

I wish I was 16 THEN, not now.

[netboy04]

Monster sounds out of his gear... all due to who is playing it. Guy is a beast.

[sam169995]

[Rasmarker]

Go search : The Jam - Marcus Miller with Larry Graham. Exceptional double-bass performance by LG and MM...

[lonelya1]

damn!!!!

"The ship sunk"

[loopskywire]

How can one man contain so much FUNK? Incredible!

[ZyklonCable]

Jimi Hendrix is the Larry Graham of the guitar

[heavymichels]

I think I figured out where Les learned his foot stomp and head bob.

[shawnkempdunkz]

surprise FUNK attack -------1:30

[themuffinscorched]

my favorite bassists

1 billy sheehan

2 john entwhisle

3 paul mcartney

4 larry grahm

5 bootsy collins

[Gospelbassboy]

@themuffinscorched You Forgot Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, and Stanley Clark

[iloveasiangirls]

Interesting comments about the similarities between Claypool and Graham. They both used bass as a lead instrument, both used distortion and whammy, both used slap extensively, and they even move in similar ways when playing. Very interesting.

[panteralover23]

@iloveasiangirls, you bring up a really good point about the similarities between the two. Personally though I think Larry Graham is a much more expressive player than Les Claypool simply because he's able to get so much out of the instrument without having to over-use his bass. The man's a GOD!

[lwm3398]

Hey, bass! You in the corner, on the stand. DO THIS.

[Fedibow]

00' : Tal Wilkenfeld



[edgar669966]

black les claypool? or is claypool a white larry graham??

[wtmbass]

@edgar669966 i should that claypool is a white larry graham due to larry's the one who actually is the pioneer of slap

[dogrusunubil]

80's : Larry

90's : Marcus

00's : ?

[maximco1050]

the Hendrix of bass. Wonderful. It's really like Jimi's Woodstock performance!

[CaterpillarTheWitch]

the way he slaps his bass makes me crazy, think i'd get wet in a minute if i could just see him doing this kinda stuff!

[1CRAZYGUY3]

@CaterpillarTheWitch : )!

[Brendanhammy]

74 people are just jealous of his amazing funky swag.



[klikkvuong]

Actually, what rock is missing are people capable of guitar solos. Not the shitty guitarists in today's current crop of bands.

[ELORIGINALREDDIABLO]

enves de apreciar la musica siempre tiran mierda y lo unico q saben hacer es discutir entre ustedes dan asco ignorantes!!

[pixelmed]

The Godfather

[Night94Wolf]

lol so that stereotype is right:black men are badass at playing bass

[panteralover23]

Jesus has arrived with a bass guitar in hand and the attitude of a pimp!

[mosfrostiest]

dont play (too lazy) but sing, and as a bass, I've done serveral leads. Not many, so I get the whole "hold it down" thing, but there are always exceptions. Especially for the exceptionAL. and imho, this guy was a fn genius. Oh, ps, it was HIS band  :P

[06wraightm]

he must have been one of the first to use fuzz on a bass

[desamator11]

damn,he's funking and everything else!!!!!!

[wacko1358]

this guy is a performer

[WarrenAliegbe]

@onlyjoetee Apparently you know nothing of musicianship. yes the bass player is the foundation of the band and without a good foundation, the band will fall. And you are definitely wrong about the bass being the supporting instrument. Out of all instruments in my opinion it's the most important because with out it the music is empty. So don't go talking down on the bass or any rhythm section instrument. Because the bass player can be the lead. Take a look at fuckin Marcus Miller.

[WarrenAliegbe]

@onlyjoetee There is no restriction in music

[possm88]

@WarrenAliegbe No shit. This guy is about the most shallow person I have ever ran into on youtube. He just doesn't get it.

[shaggymattrocks]

Shouldnt he be driving the ship?

[theendlessenigma]

@shaggymattrocks nah captain steubing wants his hat back. GREAT SOULO

[spanerty123]

@shaggymattrocks he is busy entertaining us whahahhahaha

[shadfresh25]

@shaggymattrocks HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

[CptChaos88]

@shaggymattrocks

he drives 5 or 6 loveboats at the same time already.

[michaelalbertjones]

@shaggymattrocks ALL ABOARD S.S. FUNK!!!!

[teetomthomas]

@shaggymattrocks Larry Graham IS the ship!!!

[namttam1992]

@shaggymattrocks he was; with sexy, jammin, unadulterated funk.

[PanekPL]

@shaggymattrocks He IS the ship

[Colin2720]

@shaggymattrocks he's the captain of The Love Boat. The Love Boat is driven by sex appeal. needless to say, Larry Graham could take his boat around the world within a 2 week span.

[MrMMurdock]

@shaggymattrocks Don't you know? That's what a bassists job is to do.

[mettetation]

Blessed be Mr. Graham

[eccho13]

I LOVE YOU LARRY GRAHAM!!!!!!!

I'm a dude, and i'm proud to say it XD

[sonicdeath10]

Les Claypool eat yer heart out.

[ThunderBunnyOwns]

SNSD <3 wooot idk why i'm even here :P

[aaronsen09]

youtube fights between trolls awww yeah

[ReDhAvEn1993]

@onlyjoetee Your comment is so ignorant that it is beyond reasonable comprehension.

[ReDhAvEn1993]

@onlyjoetee BTW keep some compsure jeez. At least i was respectable within my comments, these false words you speak are so putrid, "Go back to sleep" pet, "Go back to sleep".

[sikkinixx82]

@onlyjoetee yet hes not a waiter. hes the foundation of sly and the family stone. he was a funk icon. he gave that band a reason with his playing. why cant a bassist solo? i think it sounded bad ass. guitar players and vocals dont need all the limelight. Gene Simmons played bass and made kiss and hes not a speck of dust on this guys bass skills. for that matter the red hot chili peppers! wtf would they be with out Flea? they would be nowhere annd larry graham was one of fleas heros.

[sikkinixx82]

@onlyjoetee I am a bassist it a band and i mimic his playing. I also play guitar in another and i play mandolin and bagpipes. Along side ocarina and harmonica and tin whistle. Ive built instruments as well like a upright bass and a slide guitar and also further mentioned bagpipes. I AM A MUSICIAN. AND I UNDER STAND LARRY GRAHAM. what we all needed another "edjucated troll"

[superGJ24]

@onlyjoetee that's the whole point he ain't playing behind no one ass hole

[SunshineSlim01]

@onlyjoetee clearly you dont play bass, 

[westcoastgoose]

@onlyjoetee

I'm sorry but you are WRONG. Chris Squire pretty much solidified the death of your type of thinking probably before you were born. The bass in many cases is totally a lead instument. My band THE FRAME pretty much proves that all the way.

[sjmzeldaavgnfan]

@onlyjoetee has to play in the back ground! clearly you dont play bass!!!!! fuck you! ppl who who have no idea should shut the fuck up!

[sjmzeldaavgnfan]

@onlyjoetee sure bass is ment for suporting. but that doesnt means that you cant do any solo! AND I ALREADY TOLD YOU!!!! I GOT THE WRONG GUY!

[Aceofbass93]

@onlyjoetee ok then what is funk?

[sjmzeldaavgnfan]

@onlyjoetee whoops! sry i got the wrong guy sry!

[possm88]

@onlyjoetee Wow, You again? Mr. Hack-Job himself! You're a fucking troll dude. Get a life! "Try being in a band with someone who plays like this". LMAO!! I think millions of people do every day, you fucking moron! I wonder why they are the most renowned bassists on the planet... You obviously don't have any groove and your feeble little mind gets overloaded when you see these guys because your not creative enough to apply anything musical to this. Even Jamerson and Weeks would laugh at you!!!

[possm88]

@onlyjoetee The actual problem is dumbass fucks like you who think there is a right and wrong in music. You are a totally closed-minded, ignorant and shallow piece of shit. Fame has NOTHING to do with it!!! And neither does OPINION. But Being RENOWNED has NOTHING TO DO WITH FAME, you fucking half-wit! I know of many musicians who are never known to the general public but are the first choice of the professionals . It doesn't mean its over-rated just because your feeble mind can't wrap around it.

[possm88]

@onlyjoetee Hey DUMBASS!!!! I'm in 3 bands. I play guitar in 1 and BASS in the other 2! I do it professionally and pay my bills only through music. I play at least 3 times a week and am in high demand because of my LEAD BASS skills. I own a guitar shop and produce music for my own record company. go watch one of my videos and then run your ignorant ass mouth. Your the one who looks like a fucking idiot. ANYONE who knows music could NEVER be as closed minded as you. You have no creativity at all.

[possm88]

@onlyjoetee Yeah... thanks!!! I could be in 10 bands if I wanted to be. I have people walking up to me after almost every gig asking me if I have time to gig or record. So keep you condescending comments to yourself and go open your mind.

[possm88]

@onlyjoetee Nice one, Joe....... Really nice...

[possm88]

@onlyjoetee Are you really still trying to hold on to your ignorance??? Every song? You don't play music, dude, because you would understand that everything has its place and time, whether it be a bass solo, holding down the pocket or just a breakdown where you don't play at all. Your comment is the equivalent of me saying "All rock is missing is guitar solo's"..... Get real man. I mean, come on.

[BUDDHA8888]

@possm88 I certainly wouldnt be complaining if mainstream rock music went back to having at least a guitar and bass solo for at least 10 seconds each in every song. I'd be a happy camper :D

[FunkyLaura100]

@onlyjoetee OMG why are you the person posting hate comments on every bass solo?!?!?! bass solo's aren't in every song, they're very uncommon, but they are needed because if every song in the world had a guitar solo in it music would be really boring. If you hate bass solos so much then stop watching them

[shmk1]

@onlyjoetee you are an idiot Larry Graham can hold the bottom end like a beast. This is a freaking solo...

[PandoraHacker]

@onlyjoetee sorry but ur wrong

[PandoraHacker]

@onlyjoetee ok 1- true musicians are open mine to new experiences, why dont put bass solos in songs , search for, and u will find it

2 - Like bass or not doesnt mean that all my favorite songs have bass solos, thats a stupid comment

[abacass1]

@onlyjoetee 

[ReDhAvEn1993]

@onlyjoetee Actually, I play Bass, Guitar, some piano, drums, sing, played shows. I play from Classical to Jazz to even heavy metal. I listen to music from The Beatles to BTBM, and everything in between. I was at least creative enough to create my own comment without regurgitating my stupidity. Get well soon bud because the percentage of likes and dislikes in this video make you the minority, what are you trying to prove anyways? Just delete you youtube and go lie in a corner. Ciao.

[ReDhAvEn1993]

@onlyjoetee Well I respect your opinion but I think you should free your mind to the way music is played.

[sikkinixx82]

@onlyjoetee you cant slap and pop a guitar like this......

[lwm3398]

Funk metal. Well, there goes my respect for every other genre.

FUNK METAL IS GOD.

[pNeeko]

From the book of Funk,  please see 1:35

Praise to your Lord Bass,

Hay!

[bigbadcurlygirl]

Saw him play with Prince this week in Oakland and he absolutely killed it! It was like a funk/metal show all in one!
