[Sleepyhead84]

I love this video.

[lupitasosa]

Hey! Great video! Very original. :)

[lins59]

Great job !!

Was so good I watched it twice !!

[Zenex666]

You do pretty good but i think your missing the last notes on the opening riff, i think its the lower note or octave whatever, forgot all my guitar lingo but I think its meant to be the open E or open E along with the A on the 7th fret. ( I do notice your playing it a few frets higher for easier playability on the third string)

[ravenomus]

wow awesome!

[max1musbr]

42 has some great bass lines. Mark is one of the greatest 80's bassists. Very different of these lame music that is dominating the radio today. And btw u kick asses in the bass. Killer grooves!!!

[Ochenter]

Could you make the version of "tlking in your sleep" from the romantics ?

Nice man !!

[manamana101]

good job MAn!!!

[ironmaidenlover67]

hey man you did a good job on the bass! well done for a classic

[rod2149]

[Maulinator69]

Pretty cool but when you first get going I thought you were going to break into a Seinfeld riff. LoL

I'm only jealous.

[sinbad0910]

@Maulinator69

huge lol!!!

[hihosilverlining2]

wow how long did you take to learn this - their bass man was one of the best! Mark King wasn't it?

[hihosilverlining2]

wow - you did great !

[NLfunkEd]

good job!

re. camera: just don't pay attention to it and pretend you're just rehearsing. Don't put extra stress on it when recording.

[blabblab1212]

How long practicing did it take you to nail this song?

[DonaldDuck224]

Not sure now, it took a while to get it going first before I could record it like this. It's the recording part that puts me off usually, when the camera is going you can lose your focus more easily because you know that the camera can see everything you do :-)

[FashionedUp]

Great song-Well played-You made me smile--Thank you:)

[Replayability]

@blabblab1212 He didn't nail it.. He did pretty good in spots and was too slow the rest of the time.

[eightday]

Excellent!!!

[beanocampbell]

Very impressive keep it up!!

[AUTORECOVERYUK]

That was note perfect. A very good job and a great choice of song to play along to. Well done keep it up.

[coreydec]

good effort

[captslappy]

really cool. Is that an Ibanez Soundgear?

[misterpoutine]

Man...you rock !! every note is perfect, and we can really understand the bass in this song !! Two thumbs up !!

[savethedanceforlast]

[JIZZLEDGEND]

[diddydeltic]

[cruise250678]

[eddief62]

[JIZZLEDGEND]

That was just class! I wish I could play bass now.......

[airshiftam]

wonderful.......it's so interesting to watch. thanks so much for this...

[ludocrat]

Sorry, I should have added: what a bassist!

Awesome, man. Simply outstanding.

Put as word in for us little people.

[ludocrat]

Why has You-pathetic-tube declared war on Level 42?

Sorry, but it's fairly annoying.

Stay well :)

[DonaldDuck224]

what's this about declaring war against Level 42? L42 are brilliant, it's probably cos they're a real band and not some crappy rubbish you get these days. At least the boys from L42 can play their instruments well, Mark is a legend in bass.  Thanks for your compliment :)

[Zenex666]

@DonaldDuck224 i think he meant WMG or something was muting all of their video's nothing against the band

[alfredogangsta]

Thanks, I wanted to learn this song and you give a prime example!

[Spikycheng]

Great job man! I really admore and envy your skill tho I don't know how to play bass. I really love level 42 and this song very very much. Also i know the lead vocalist is famous for his bass skill. You did a really good job! I wish I could play bass like you, it would be so fun and touching... Great job man!

[dilahk927]

amazing talent...you do it so well.

[det1992]

Wow, well done, great job. And you didn't even show your face... how humble is that.. your talent did it for you. kudos..

[EDO1159]

very good.ok genial.

[larvadfc2001]

muy bueno!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[neildjreid]

nice job mate

[Unehrbar]

hi dd great job !!

[Ochenter]

IT's great !! NIce job, i use to see this vid a lot of times during the year.

IT would be ice make the same with "The captain of her heart" from double.

LONG LIFE TO THE 80'S

[Whispersvideo]

Wow, insightful, this guy really got that part down, the bass sounds great!

[len1975]

you better play that guitar man sounds good

[ludocrat]

Very sweet.

Now, (sorry), I'm off to find the real videos...

Take it easy, Wasted Talent.

[moefuzzz]

Just came back To Listen Again (and I will be back

From a Sound Engineers/Producers Point of View, you Nailed This.

I would be proud to have this talent in my studio

Great bass/amp sound as well as cudo's for hitting each note Squarely on the Head,

The twang is hard to get down pat, Great job

Bye,

visit moes garage

[DonaldDuck224]

Of course as much as I like to play bass a bit, Mark King is the man!! If you haven't then go and see him playing live, you'll love it! :-) I saw Mark around the time when I put this video up and he was well cool. If you wanna see a superb performance by Mark then check out the DVD Level 42 at Reading December 2001, just buy it! It's awesome ;-)

[Ikesay]

I enjoyed it very much, it put a smile on my face

[cerveraoliver]

Very Good!!!!

[Maglubiyet]

That was beautiful!

[stephenguyon]

Very nice, have watched your vid several times. I think it's made me enjoy the original song even more. Nice bass playing, I'd imagine singing the song ontop of playing would really add to the difficuly. Hope your kitchen turned out good.

[manamana101]

Excellent job, Man!!! and don't pay attention to these negative comments, Idiots, you guys can do it better? then do it and shut the hell up!! put up or shut your ass up!!!!

[DonaldDuck224]

Thanks :-) We certainly need more people like you here on youtube. There's always people going round putting negative comments, they must do it for fun but it's always the same they don't even have videos of their own, otherwise we could laugh at them :-P This video is getting old now, a while since I posted it but it's a shame I haven't had much time for bass due to a hard working kitchen job!

[Ochenter]

the're just stupid people, i'm agree with manamana101, don't PAY ATTENTION.

They aren't too clever to do as well as you do.

I like your style, and is a nice job.

BEste regards from spain...!!

[DonaldDuck224]

Thanks :-) so kind your compliment, I'm glad you like this one. I have the upmost respect for the way that the king himself Mr. Mark King plays for L42. I have seen him with the band live and seen what he does with my own eyes. I think he's awesome, a legend. Certainly I am a big fan.

[DonaldDuck224]

What I think would be awesome if say somebody happened to go visit his home town where he lives in the isle of wight and if you saw him in the local pub, that would be so cool. I bet it's a cool place where he lives, they have one of the best bass players in the world there living right on their doorstep :-)

[jennylev42]

i came across this version last night, i thought you were fanatstic, my favourite level42 song. you plyed the bass line brilliantly!!!

[Fmoema]

Congratulations! You play this song very well! I am a fan of bassplayers...I wish you all the best!

Greetings from Brazil.

:D

[jenellmcdaniel]

very good job

[JJmacd]

nice bass playing although you'll have to go some to be as good as Mark King, best bassist alive.

Also it looks a bit like you're in a prison cell. If so, her majesty's prison service is even more lax then I thought.

[bonekinhadlixo]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! I LOVE IT

[joaby75]

great job... well done... cheers...

[mkleesma]

Wonderful Bass track - brings a whole new dimension to an old song.

Well done! Wish I could play that.

[LTmattYT]

work on the sound, man, either turn down the mid on your amp or get a new amp.

i have the same problem

[AUTORECOVERYUK]

Quality job mate... 10 out of 10..

[izit420]

bad ass, man

[charmingly]

well done

[nicedog1]

FANTASTIC!!

[daniboii123]

wiked job mate, how did you learn it? tabs? if so, where did you get them?... w/b

[dcmetroman62]

that is so funky...great job

[misterpoutine]

Man...great play...two thumbs up !!!

you really play it well !

[Organell]

"this is an example.."

so true, a bad one for sure

nothing turns me off more than off tempo bass playing, hurts my damn internal metronome

(ie. VERSE NOTES!)

please don't insult Mark Kings chops, he couldn't have writen such mediocre rhythm verse riff

[andylaytonjames50]

Off to see them AGAIN in LIVERPOOL on wednesday eve.

Wanna be in my band bud????

SPOT ON!!!

[dazzer75]

superb! spot on ducky!

[fnlost]

[Irishfrench008]

I would like the lirics of Something abouth

I

[modellaudie]

very good!

[Vaportrail69]

Damn you are right on.....

[lavendergirl63]

OMG love it!!!

[waterchicklet]

Awesome. :)

[zeepman]

Dude you are awesome!

[VANArmenya]

Wow. That was mesmerizingly awesome. I knew I loved that song because of an awesome bassline--synthesized or not. It is hard to play. This guy makes the song real. What a GREAT bass player. I will always say--BASSLINE is the HEART of the song! ABBA, GREEN DAY, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, BEATLES--they all had awesome basslines.

[parfumsraffy]

Gotta go octaves for the opening riffs.

[leesy16]

this is great.....i wish i had a bass =(

[leechdom]

rock on dude. that shit is awsome.

[DTHECHEMIST1]

wow..my uncle has been playin bass in a jazz band for years now and im sure he woulda loved to see you do that song on stage..

[AndrewEnderWiggin]

LMAO

The bass on this song is played on a Yamaha DX-7 synthesiser! It's a fake (at the time real-ish) bass guitar preset. Mark, of course, threw in the odd slap here in there to add texture. Funny stuff :)
