"Hey! Keep it down, I'm tryin' to sleep! ...Oh, sorry, Commander."

[garyford99]

Great trombone clip, but you should have stopped it when Troy came and started yapping

[christinesangel100]

I love this....I do this with my twin sometimes now, we re-enact it. :D It's so fun. I love playing Trombone...his trombone playing is one of the things I like about the character.

[sicsyde07]

the one where data loses his memory lol



[MeissnerFlux]

Perhaps the rusty trombone?

[sradley89]

RIKER RULES!!!! Commandin' a starship and playin' trombone.

[sradley89]

RIKER RULES!!!!

[edstercw]

[andrewblack12]

Romanian subtitles haha

[tpacemaker2]

he was definitely playing for real in this clip. It's pretty obvious, especially because after he is playing, you can see that his lips are white from the pressure.

[TheFireflyGuy]

To paraphrase - "Riker bashing....We'll start tomorrow morning - 08.00."

[DarkMagicianDude]

Lolz King 2B ;D x

[SCRulerShinoda]

I love it when he was speaking with his trumpet.

[ShittiestChannelOnYT]

@SCRulerShinoda *trombone :)

[MeissnerFlux]

Riker has attained grand master proficiency with The Rusty Trombone!!!!

[Blitzhild]

riker plays on a king ahahah

[Mszippy11111]

LOL XD I love riker.

[atysays]

That's a mighty fine beard. I'm growing a 'Riker' currently.

[haywood86]

oh my god I HATE Riker! I can't stand him ahhh! God he's so smug and in love with himself. Grrr

[WolfmanNougat]

Maybe he could talk to a race of people elephant-like in form!

[issu999]

LMFAO Romanian subtitles FTW.

[ChelseatheHolmesian]

OMG they are SO CUTE together! Can't handle it!

[ElizabethTurner101]

Ha Ha This is so Funny! I love Deanna and Will!

[bktrmbone90]

rikkerrr lean

[Tacom4ster]

Riker talks like an adult in the Peanuts

[livepower34325]

*troot-troot?*

Is that supposed to be a queastion?

*troot troot*

Because if you're asking if I like what you are playing then the answer is yes'

*troo-troot!* :)

Y'know, this is a much better way for communticating with you, it's far less confusing that the way you normally speak.

*TROOOT!!"

Made me lol.

[737SYLAR737]

Hehe, made me LOL too.

[benji1701]

@livepower34325  lol same here

[stfanboy]

Yes he is. I think Frakes played in college or High School.

[crazypianolady]

'Riker-bashing' Haha! I don't mean to offend but is he actually playing it?

[Stevenup7004]

Yes. Johnathan Frakes was able to play trombone in real life, that's where the idea of Riker being an amateur trombone player came from =P

[coolantmanuscript]

Lol, Riker almost hit his head when he stood up at the end.

[Razgriz2118]

Windows: A hazard in higher ranking staff quarters

[Stevenup7004]

Haha, yeah, that was really close

[thekillerreaperz]

he has the same tromebone as me :)

[Stevenup7004]

Why is Riker playing a 400 year old trombone? Surely he would use a newer model.

[NattMoore]

The old ones are the best, even now!

[trombonepardal]

jujijoj fantasty

[tangentcausality]

The king 3b: the choice trombone of federation officers.

[retread01]

"But Dianna, you're a woman. I'm afraid I am going to have to demote you for even bringing it up."

[pgh45rpms]

While he studied theater arts in college Mr. Frakes was a member of the famed Penn State Blue Band, so he has some musical competency. He's not an amateur just doodling around on the 'bone.

[aweoig]

Nice, I've got that same King trombone. lol.

[geekbeeterupper]

he's ok at bone! woot

[tubagirl93]

mr zoot suit

[ezridax]

David Xantos is hot in person, isnt he! dark hair , blue eyes, tall stature.....gorgeous!

[NamelessWorrior]

wats imzadi?

[prgwbtd]

It's what Riker and Troi called each other - a Betazoid word for "beloved."

[NamelessWorrior]

oh ok thx

[rikerd16]

hmmm

[smken042983]

I love how he's playing a King.

[amadeus5889]

Even in the 24th century, nothing beats a little jazz trombone to unwind.

[ezridax]

well said!

[BeginXtheXBegin]

"Some general Riker-bashing." I love this clip, thanks for uploading it.

[revoltingmexican]

Either King is a phenomenally long lived company in the 24th century, or that is one VINTAGE trombone. Nice job Riker!

[huckbone]

Does anyone know which episode this is from? I gotta see this.

[agnesed]

As noted in the video description, it's "Thine Own Self". It's from season 7 :)

[huckbone]

Oops, helps to read sometimes. Thanks.

[Egbert1957]

...ha- the first KING b-Trombone in the Univers.

(Eine kleiner Schritt für die Jazz-Menschheit

und ein großer für die Forderation). (lol).

From N.Armstrong (not Louis)

[Manitor]

Does anybody know WHAT he's playing?

[tinytrombone]

At first I thought he wasn't really playing. But looking at his slide positioning, he is, but his trombone is tuned sharp a whole step (I'm not hating, just appreciating.)

[tinytrombone]

strike that last comment, my laptop is playing everything sharp for some reason.

[agnesed]

He plays in real life, I heard he mimed it on the show. I'll ask my trombone playing friend.

[prgwbtd]

He was really playing in this clip. He's actually a pretty good trombone player. But he's said at conventions that when he's playing REALLY good on the show, it's really Bill Walrus and he's just pretending.

[Jzzmus]

Watrous... not walrus

[chrissyjoy08]

@agnesed There are some times that Frakes actually plays the trombone on the show, other times he does just pretend.

[yunasboy27]

is he really playing though?

[agnesed]

According to my friend who plays trombone, he's really playing it in this clip.

[Qermaq]

@agnesed oh that's real bone playing. In the episode 10010101 he mimed it in the holodeck. Every other time it's him playing live on set. And of course, there's the "Nightbird" incident...

[macree01]

So here its him, but when hes playing that one concert in another episode its really Watrous?

[nigelholland3]

@yunasboy27 He can actually play bone he did in high school

[krazie835]

Awesome.

[NamelessWorrior]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
