Squarepusher in session guardian.co.uk

[lucadepu]

his dinamics and abilty are astonishing. i've known squarepusher for a long time, but i am always amazed at his skill.

[guitarpornographer]

I know its been said... But they look so much like Bill Bailey and Dave Gorman

[Leotheleprachaun]

i would simply be in heaven if i was to enter that room! all those bass guitars hanging are like all my favorites!

[jjyouarefunny]

drummer is godly

[chulk607]

Boring mode engaged.

Widdly bullshit. Squarepusher used to be exciting / good.

Whatever happened? He's now turned into a caricature of Howard Moon, and that's saying something...

[musicalrevo]

@chulk607

no my friend he's trying more things.

if your bored look up captain beefheart and his magic band there damm fine artists. or type in "cherry" in youtube

click on the result that looks like a dark sun rising.

epic stuff

[superkulmedkniv25]

@musicalrevo Thank you for introducing me to Ratatat man. Really. Don is the secret master of everything also. Fast and Bulbous.

[Rhondargh]

beautiful, clean ghost notes

[GunYou1]

they're so on time with that rest that has to be so hard

[inurban]

uuuUUUUUHHHH!!!!!!!!

[MegaMarioThomas]

squarepusher is actually up there with the best bass players of all time. And he has accomplished much more than just the bass. Nutsacks!

[paulstearne]

Words cannot describe how little this music turns me on.

[VeroVlSquareNX]

Its Obviously awesome! As long as I know its real, I can careless if "monsterjohn" or anyone else think its fake, i just wanted to insult this dude a lil :} peace!

[iwannabeyourdog90]

SQ seems more outgoing, than ever and even openminded about other musicians!

[willgods]

Alex Thomas on drums - also plays for Badly Drawn Boy, awesome!

[monsterjohn]

fake.

[willgods]

@monsterjohn dickhead



[monsterjohn]

@willgods I know man, I can't believe some dickhead faked this video. It sucks.

[willgods]

@monsterjohn no your the dickhead! This isn't fake. Do your research on the artist first before you pass judgement. If you've ever seen him live then you'd know.

[monsterjohn]

@willgods he mimes.

[willgods]

@monsterjohn you prick. do your research on him

[monsterjohn]

@willgods I went to a squarepusher gig and he badly mimed his way through it.

[miniGMgoit]

@monsterjohn :D

3/10

[VeroVlSquareNX]

@monsterjohn your fake dickhead

[monsterjohn]

@VeroVlSquareNX FAKE,

[VeroVlSquareNX]

@monsterjohn haha, you that desperate for attention?

[monsterjohn]

@VeroVlSquareNX it's obviously fake.

[gregkrazanski]

@monsterjohn HAHAHA why would this be fake??? I'm not sure if you're kidding around or what. Do you know what a bass is or how it's played? it doesn't have to look difficult to play just because it sounds complicated...................­.......... if you're that good your hand/finger movements are very efficient. not sure why i'm bothering with this comment but oh well

[ZINCOVIX8754]

sublime stuff....that drummer is unreal..and the bass playin well...bloody hell..love the ole squarepusher...thanks for thsi

[blauwolfenduro]

FONKY!

[crowecanada]

why did it have to end.

[RICECAKEGOESWHEE]

play the ric man

[rebusd]

What?! Two people? Only one drum kit? I thought he did both simultaneously, live, lol! :D

Seriously though, that drummer is one lucky mofo.

ps allroy road forever!

[flaggfam]

SQUAREPUSHER PWNZ

[2xnkote]

he used to

[LeGronk]

Personally, I'm excited by the live instrumentation stuff Tom's been doing. Planet Gear is one of my favourite Squarepusher tracks ever, I'm eager to see how he'll expand that palette.

[alexvegas]

It's pretty cool to watch all the interviews with him on Youtube, and see how his attitude to music - and the sound of his music - has changed. And his hair. As for this little jam - amazingly tight!

[Timmyinc44]

Damn that's one smooth drummer.

[1Meursault1]

kmaines.. have you listened to ANY squarepusher album? to say that it is fusion is a dramatic understatement, this new stripped down approach happens just to be a new evolution of his sound atm.

[ticklesitter]

one word, TIGHT

[funknotik]

IF you think your better challenge him to a bass battle!! Or better yet release an album better than his worse album! If you cannot comply then kneel before your master!

[popkocher]

wunderschön

[fuckingharpsichord]

his studio has changed alot :-) (pretty normal)

[raanenbozzio]

dude to see squarepusher playing with a death metal drummer is fucking awesome.

[AlastairBallentyne]

i think what we are seeing at the moment is 'pusher experimenting with different creative expressions. Who wants to eat the same thing for each meal a day for ten years? nobody!

Besides each album is an expression of a place in time with any artist, they're not making it for you! hahaha

[DDRpwnerer]

Bah, this is what has bothered me about new Squarepusher. He uses all live instruments--no synths, nothing that I've grown to love him for. If he's going to do these kinds of songs, I'd really prefer he stuck with his classical guitar like he does in "Andrei" and "Every Day I Love". This is a great track, don't get me wrong, but I really want to hear some synths and breaks incorporated into it. That's kind of why I loved Hello Everything but never got through one listen of Just A Souvenir.

[shenmue4life]

listen up, you're just a piece of shit little bitch that plays ddr, mr. jenkinson is a master, understand one thing, you know nothing about music theory and you never will because you play ddr, reality check, ddr is not music, and what makes you think tom jenkinson is gonna read this comment and listen to you a nothing that knows nothing and doesnt deserve to make comments.

[DDRpwnerer]

lolwut

You're a faggot, but at least you like Shenmue... That's always helpful...

[LeGronk]

The Numbers Lucent EP was released for people with your inclinations.

[DDRpwnerer]

Indeed, and it's motherfucking awesome.

[Gazdatronik]

Jenkinson's talents are not to be disputed, however, this riff is square as fuck,

it's just fast.... that's all it is... fast.

It isn't interesting. The structure is nearly abysmally cliche and makes me wonder why he thinks this is some hype shit, I know all you fanboy* can't really hear, so take it from a compser / bass player. Tom has had many several more interesting moments

[jajajah86]

I don't worship one band or artsit but I think it is rude to say that anyone who likes his bass playing is a blind "fanboy" (or girl). Speed can make a difference. You have a drumbeat from the Winstons created in the 70's, decades later someone sampled it, increased the speed and the typical drum and bass rythm was created. I agree with you on that he had more enjoyable songs. The way you communicated it was arrogant.

Peace...

[sleeperkickers]

you are an arrogant fuck

[jrmhbky]

real musicians aren't embarrassed to play something simple. musicians w/ attitudes like yours are the reason a lot of people are embarrassed to admit that they're musicians.

[doctorspacebass]

@jrmhbky you're a fool!! The Pusher rules! He's ripping up what we all thought we knew was heavy,crazy, weird, fresh!

[deresolutionized]

people who say shit to undermine his blinding talents simply DON'T KNOW SQUAREPUSHER so get educated & say something supportive or get fucked

[Verndoggie1]

Why do some of ya'll gota bee such haters?

The here and now of it is that he writes, he plays he goes out and does it, WELL.

[funknotik]

I just played along on drums, no one know the hand skills required to play this shit. Die!

[venom49]

THIS GUY IS A LEGEND!...Simply!

Just so the electronic music haters know that these artists are not only pushing buttons, THEY CAN PLAY INSTRUMENTS AND THEY CAN PLAY IT WAY BETTER THAN ANY TOP40 DICKHEAD

[Jams103]

Well put venom49 I couldn't have said it better myself.

[pullmeoutoftheair]

@venom49

naw, just squarepusher

[Greenjah81]

wikid Jazzy Jugnlizm!!!

[xtpeetersx]

I have the chance to see him this sunday ! Can't wait ! He's the best !

[jonny6767]

absolute filth!

[BendApparatus]

these guys must be huge Primus fans.

Les Claypool just called, he wants his style back. lol (jk)

[Hobble]

claypool doesn't even use double-thumb...

[polishpirate123]

he has his own kind of groove

but its closer to wooten than claypool

[Hobble]

yeah, it is closer to wooten, same technique wooten uses too, but this is much cleaner than wooten's double thumb.

[polishpirate123]

yeah

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

Mate. You don't know squarepusher...

[BendApparatus]

All i know is back in the mid/late 90's he was just another "techno" guy abusing the amen break. Not too shabby on bass thought worthy enough to be compared to claypool IMO...

[uniformxii]

WHOA! No idea how you arrived at that conclusion. Aside from his virtuosic bass playing, his drum programming is almost obsessive. He also plays guitar, xylophone, drums, and synths. Not to mention he's created his own programs and algorithms for drum manipulation or synth generation. You should really take a listen to Beep Street, Iambic 5 Poetry, or Tetra Sync if you haven't...

He's a genius of our time, honestly.

Far from a "techno" guy abusing the amen

[funknotik]

I eat your shit you fack my mother!!

[jimmyhvac]

right on bro!

[swarm69]

lol thats a track and a half BendApparatus needs to shut up ..honestly this mans drum programing is far from abusing the amen break bettween him and pahex twin not to mention mike pardins the re cast the amen anew into a world of posabilitys

[Mfdhdp]

0:20 begining

[elektrobi]

can't wait to see him/them live

[MetafonikHQ]

back to " drums & bass" !

[mohercore]

very funny
