[TheBassMan533]

not only is he bitching awesome, he has a stewie shirt.

in your face chuck norris!

[jazzbass981]

This man has God-given talent! Stunning!

[RonnyOnBass]

That green Bongo bass looks so much better on him than the orange or blue ones.

[VenousPlatypus]

Is the color of this bass the "Dargie Delight"?

[juamposo]

@VenousPlatypus Yes it is, sweet color!

[sergioz07]

you've got to listen to Planet X live from OZ ,,, ohhhh guys Dave is playing there and trust me it's tremendous!!!

[Marlon2112]

@angmar11 The last song's called "Runaway Train", and is featured on the "Coast to Coast" album (1994).

[Marlon2112]

@stonedfry123 Actually Dave started playing along with Steve on the "High Tension Wires" album (1990). "Stand Up" (1985) was recorded with Jerry Peek on bass. As or starters on SMB/Dave Larue I would recommend The album "Southern Steel" (1991), which contains most of the aspects tat makes Steve Morse Band so unique.

[BDJHSOD777]

As as fledgeling bass guitarist, I look up to a lot of people. At the top of my list, on equal grounds, is Billy Sheehan and this man. And I do dream of handling a Musicman Bongo (four string model, sapphire black finish LOL) just like Dave does. :):):):):):):)

[TheSupnickmon]

I wanna be like that, but I probably never will. Anybody who ever learns bass should at least listen to this. Even after hearing it once i swear the next time I picked up a bass I played differently

[panhead1219]

Love his t-shirt!

[diamonddust22]

Can I ask you guys something? Does the Pandora have that Piano sound in it so you can jam in different Keys?

[angmar11]

whats the song at the end ?

[pelusabassman]

Mucha influencia de Jaco eh !! arriba dave es un grande !!

[bassrabbit9]

Wish I was there!! Any bass players using this yet?

[filfhty666]

I think there is no way to compare Larue and Myung, they are amazing bass players, they are great in some different ways of music, we can't say which one is better, because anyone of them are better than the other, their style is completely different, so, instead of wasting time compare them, let's enjoy their music, that is wonderful, long live to Myung and to Larue, long live to bass and of course to good music!!!

[MrElopez55]

Agree with most of the comments. Dave is so underrated, yet he is the most "complete" bass player alive, for the lack of a better word, this guy really knows how to suit the music best...in my opinion. He masters all of the bass techniques.

By the way, does anyone know if this material exists actually in any album? I have known about Dave just recently, so I would like to know more about his music. Does anyone know if this material exists in any musical release? Thanks a lot for your help.

[angmar11]

@dlstnry whats the last song?

[dlstnry]

@angmar11 Sorry I don't know... I want to know too.T_T

[angmar11]

@dlstnry hm soloy bass goodness

[dlstnry]

@MrElopez55 Third tune is Name dropping - Steve Morse Band

[stonedfry123]

@MrElopez55 You might be interested in picking up a Dixie Dregs cd or a Steve Morse.I would suggest Stand Up by steve morse the cd is filled with Dave and Steve at the top of their game as well as a few surprises.Good luck.I got mine from Steve in Milwaukee.AWESOME show!

[VenousPlatypus]

@MrElopez55 Steve Morse Band, Dixie Dregs, and recently worked with Joe Satriani. Also, his best show of work is on the song "Assembly Line" with Dixie Dregs where he has a sick intro and an AMAZING solo which is at around 1 minutes 40 seconds.

[t24karrot]

so sick!

[BengeeBass]

I like both Myung and LaRue

Myung and LaRue are diffrence style

you can't compare

[LokiNTB]

How do you figure? I think they both play similar genres of music

[jamesattard]

i agree, i believe Dave LaRue is the greatest bassist alive today

[goyito123]

Myung hace gimnasia, LaRue hace Música...FIN

[Marlon2112]

John Myung? hehehe, he´s good, but there´s no way to compare him to LaRue... Myung is fast, but is too much machanical for me.

LaRue has music flowing through his veins and dominates the bass like few do.

[bns2112]

does anyone does what song he's playing starting around 3:17?

[Theateras]

He is great, but I like more John Myung from Dream Theater.

[Asgard222]

Of course John Myung is a god in bass, but people need to consider the style of music the bassist is playing before comparing them to other bassists. John Myung is an amazing and innovative bass player in progressive rock/metal, while Dave Larue is more talented in terms of classic rock and funk.

The greatest bass player alive today
