Metropolis Bass Solo by John Myung

[lokboxx]

FAKE! Myung doesn't talk

[butters226]

JOHNNY IS BAKED

[psyoptica]

Look up a song called "Moon Bubbles." Myung's best soloing in my opinion.

[kingofnoobs7170]

Level of Bass Solo : ASIAN!

[JerryFeng41]

when it comes to tapping, I don't really do a whole lot.... but when I do do it,

I MAKE IT GOD-LIKE.

[makantang]

BEST BASSIST EVER

[kc8ntp]

@makantang No doubt, this is probably the only bassist that can even compare to Claypool. I like Myung's playing a little better, but Claypool isn't to be taken lightly, either.

[Doodooma]

who knew such a shy, quiet little asian man could be such a monster with a bass.

[narutojustdisedyou]

I don't always tap, but when I do, it's on the bass.

[EXHellfire]

hell, so many bassgasms can be unhealthy... nah i take that back, i want more

[fauzo86]

lol..to him this isnt a solo at all..juz normal stuffs..

[ZeroSystem100]

Holy shit! He speaks!

[jshannon2k8]

This guy is not as cool as he thinks he is

[VideoMask93]

@jshannon2k8 How so? He's one of the best bass players out there, and isn't a dick about it.

[MIKEPEARTNOY]

I think he did a bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass.

[Th1sWasATriumph]

@MIKEPEARTNOY I lolled quite hard. Thank you for that.

[ThePhilosopher1996]

Every word makes him suffer

[javafreak257]

@bkeels002 I used to say jokes with the punchline, "but then I took an arrow to the knee," but then I took an arrow to the knee and thus I took up the luxurious life of a whiterun guard.

[OminousBassist]

is he high?

[bkeels002]

I used to play bass like this, until I took an arrow to the knee.

[MetaI4Brains]

@bkeels002

I used to post retarded Internet memes on every video, until I turned 13.

[bkeels002]

@MetaI4Brains I knew someone would take the bait. Shut up and enjoy the music son.

[MetaI4Brains]

@bkeels002

I'm a multi-tasker, I can respond to your retarded meme and enjoy the video at the same time.

[bkeels002]

@MetaI4Brains Well color me impressed.

[beanriffs]

this is the most i have ever heard myung ever speak!

[MrAgus2912]

HE SPEAKS!!!!

[funkality]

Yea he nice but does he got the FuNk!.............InterGalacti­cosmicbOOgie!

[7Simstim]

one of the best bass players i've ever seen from 30 ft away! awesome artist and band is too.

[thatmetalbassist]

he goes through this a little fast ._. at least I used to think so. I made a tutorial vid that slows it down in case you guys want to see it gone through slower, its on my channel

[hugemusician]

I paused my porn to see this!

[hugemusician]

monster!!!!!!!! best bass player in rock bands!!!

Myung and claypool are the best!

[SpartanLaserCanon]

Thumbs up if you want John Myung to release a solo album with a fretless bass

[blaisems]

He isn't speaking, he's hitting the strings in a way that mimics a human voice

[HaZexHD]

Cake... Lolololol he's emotionless :(

[FlaKey511]

Now in non-musical language.

[SuperShane1919]

ppl like john makes bass awsome

[mimeywimey]

John doesnt make porn music with his bass guitar. He makes the porn.

[Shotgunmerc]

I don't always do tapping, but when I do, I blow your mind.

[metalmonkey007888]

''There's a bass solo in a song called metropolis, where I do a bass solo''

BASSEPTION

[Rockmaster2112]

@metalmonkey007888 Yo dawg I heard you like bass solos...

[Tommydrummer92]

i was like ok nice then saw it i was like O_o

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Is this dude the bass player for Symphony X or something?

[toolfan92]

@MlKEPORNTOY Dream Theater.

[PapOwnYou]

@MlKEPORNTOY lol? .. its dream theater~~

[RisingEternity]

press 5 to start seing hom play

[tobbex7]

Is this possible to do with a 4 stringed bass?

[theburtonearny]

@tobbex7 Yes, it's all on EADG except that last hammer on he does you'd have to do on the second fret of the E string.

[pistolsroach]

@tobbex7 Actually that song and that complete album was record whit a 4 strings stingray so yes itsto much an actually complete possible just practicce

[jlebesis]

@pistolsroach Where did you hear that? I'd believe it, all sorts of bass players in bands use a bunch of different basses etc, then you hear they went into the studio with a stingray or Jazz bass cos it sat in the track better :)

[mortician001]

Wooooow

John Myung can talk !!!!!!!

[firenuts1800]

I don't usually do much when I tap, but when I do, I think of chords

[findetclemo]

@firenuts1800

Hilarious, man!^^

"When it comes to tapping... I don't really do a whole lot. But when I do do it... I usually think of chords... when... I apply my tapping..." XD

[julio13wrathchild]

Yo Dawg...

[akosiCoco]

I'm a guitarist trying to learn bass techniques...

[mcard1d]

@MyMytalMajesty Erm... say what? 

[ManziiDelirium]

He´s Talkiiiing!!! hahaha

[jjjb9098]

I agree-Myung and his bandmates are, arguably, individually and collectively, the best of the best, alive!

[911jesse]

Jordan Rudess was quoted-"John Myung is the only mucisian he knows that 'warms down' after every performance.

To watch Myung perfom live is mind blowing!! I've never seen a bassist with so much sustained stamina. Playing with absolute precision for nearly 90 minutes, non-stop! Not missing a note, and keeping up with everyone in the band!! And, just think?! Every member of that band are considered the best in the world at their instrument!!!

[j0sh1888]

"I don't usually tap but when I do, I use chords"



[iskzep]

his voice is melodic and deep like how his bass sounds like

[SS4LZeppo]

@GuitarandWow, i have to agree Rockyroopam, the Beatles werent the best, they were the first. They did have amazing talent but no where near DT, they have the best in the world.

[SS4LZeppo]

I love this guy

[olikakashi]

"There is a bass solo in a song called Metropolis, where I do a bass solo."

And he never spoke again...

...Until recently.

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Myung's signature Squier is coming out soon.

[oscarcr80]

I had no idea John was able to speak.

[portnoyere]

I think this video is fake Myung cant talk

[jacobr512]

Who knows how to do a regression of a rational function, like y=1/x. My points are (48,110) (24,220) (12,440). Please help me!!!!!

[Zeta9966]

Yo dawg, I heard you like bass solos, so we put a bass solo in your bass solo so you can bass solo while you bass solo.

[Zeta9966]

@Zeta9966 I swear I thought of that and no one else ever has...

[Corpsehammerstrike]

there's a bass solo in the song called metropolis where i do ... a bass solo.

love this guy

[wenaldy]

Yo dawg.......shit!!!!!

[muso123456]

theres a bass solo in the song 'metropolis' where i do a bass solo...

[greekmetaler]

putting fourth finger to the down side of neck ?

[TheBassistJoe]

Now to break that down, all it is is me being fucking god of bass.

[Daenius]

"i dont always do tapping, but when I do, I prefer to face roll"

[christherocker93]

He...he... he can speak ?!

[masterbassist93]

shh, if you listen closely, you actually hear what john is saying

[Coldretter]

dude your so good

[BASSISTKRAZY]

I understood it, the problem is play it.

[julio13wrathchild]

Yo Dawg...

[jokerfacehro]

wanna see that on an acoustic instrument

[AlbertSuell]

"Yo, Dawg, we heard you like tapping;

We also heard that you like bass solos.

So we put tapping into a bass solo so you can solo while you solo"

[emoish23]

korea needs more john myung not those shitdirt kpop idols.

[newagepun]

@emoish23 if they don't want them, send them over to the United States and train them to be musical gods.

[falconer6439]

71 people are upset that they suck at bass.

[imrahil2006]

Monter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[xTheWorldNeedsAHerox]

A bass solo within a bass solo. Bassception.

[Dmatreshka]

WOW!!! JOHN MYUNG IS TALKIN'!!!!!!!!!!!

[17colosal]

"too many words man... Let's make another take"

[eviltube1111]

He's going at like half speed

[supersmashbrosevil]

HOLY SHIT HE SPEAKS!!!!

[drumforlife720]

@supersmashbrosevil haha i know right

[tronfunkinblow100]

"Theres a bass solo in the song called metropolis where i do... a bass solo..."

[mcard1d]

Einstein's Theory of Relativity has recently been proven wrong by scientists, because John Myung's fingers can actually travel faster than the speed of light. It wasn't anything to do with European Physicists and particle accelerators; it's all just a media cover-up because John doesn't want to deal with the attention right now.

[Megadeth4lif3]

"there's a bass solo in a song called Metropolis, where i do a bass solo"

that made my day

[impsychosocial1]

@Megadeth4lif3 I know right, mine too

[pinesspein9]

Yo Dawg,

we heard you like Bass Solos,

so we put a Bass solo in a Bass solo,

so you can have an Eargasm while you have an Eargasm

[TheUniversomerodea]

¿QUIEN ES MEJOR? ¿VICTOR WOOTEN? ¿SEAN MALONE? O ¿JOHN MUYNG?

[MaxvergaxS]

@TheUniversomerodea ¿A quien le importa? 

[italyVegeta]

We heard that you like to play bass solos, so we put a bass solo into your bass solo

[geraldohomero]

cara...no começo....igual ao clodovil!!!

Brasil Here!!!

[MrGamerBazer]

@jewfroking XD brilliant

[btriona92]

Okay, questionnnn. Is he tapping the 10th really fast twice or what? ont he 32nd notes.

[phayes1007]

i downloaded the instructional booklet for this video and had a pretty good laugh when i read page 34...

"Ex-8(6) Backward Modal Approach 6: A Aeorian"

lol

[xLucidNightmaresx]

I fucking love it. There's a bass solo in the song metropolis, where I do a bass solo.

[powerslaveraimon]

of course! its freaking easy!

[MegaMrDT]

@crunchmaster9000 and exactly which memes would those be?

[a7xMadx]

I think that it should be like this:

1st John Myung

2nd Paul McCartney

3rd who gives a shit

[SuperCasper1994]

@a7xMadx No, it's like this:

1st - John Petrucci

2nd - John Myung

3rd - Who gives a fuck?

[a7xMadx]

@SuperCasper1994

Naaah John Myung is the best

Paul McCartney is second as he is really good at composing

[SuperCasper1994]

@a7xMadx Yea, he definitely is! But JP is slightly better than both IMO! :)

[BrianSou69]

@a7xMadx With all due respect to The Beatles, their music is pre-school compared to Dream Theater. John McCartney's a great guy and a talented musician. But he would get his fingers sawed off trying to play the bassline for "Dark Eternal Night" or "Panic Attack".

[a7xMadx]

@BrianSou69

first of all its Paul McCartney you dumb head. second: those are different genres and beatles cant be compared to Dream theater you KNOW WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?! BEATLES! best band ever in humanity. they arent compared THEY CANT BE so stfu

[GuitarAndWow]

@a7xMadx I love the Beatles..but THEY can't be compared to Dream Theater because DT is 1000 times better and those are 2 diffrent genres :P so you stfu

[Rockyroopam]

@GuitarAndWow Both bands are amazing, different people have different preferences, so maybe to YOU dt is 1000x better than the beatles but everybody has different tastesl. so um stfu?

[Orphen01]

LOL I thought this was harder. A piece of cake.

[xLucidNightmaresx]

@Orphen01 Not exactly piece of cake, but it really is much easier than I thought it would be.

[kingofthekaisers]

John Myung makes bass look cool...

[roadrunneruntd]

holy shit he speaks ?

[AhmedDjo]

it's just a 16th note pad with a 32nd .... wait wtf

[1397051993]

I can't stop listening for the bass in all dream theater songs. this has forever changed my opinion of him- no, it's IMPROVED my opinion of his already awesome self

[Emperor060]

70 are posers cliff burton's fans xD

[crunchmaster9000]

he just referenced two memes in one...........and this was made before internet memes............

[PedrosrDF]

this guy scares me

[RowenaSpiteFoul]

"There's a bass solo in Metropolis where I do...a bass solo"

LOL!

[MetaltetseL]

I could do the tapping if my fingers weren't so weak xD

[ticosexy22]

FREAK

[jonThedrummerify]

Second time I have heard this guy talk, and I have everything DT.

[ttannia1]

cmon...act like its even a bit hard...

[GreenGray555]

John Myung can play such an epic bass solo that the speed of his fingers causes a paradox and rips a hole in space-time, allowing him to travel to a parallel universe and play a bass solo, thus allowing him to play a bass solo while he plays a bass solo.

[SuperHairyDick]

@GreenGray555 Yo Dawg!

[towardstheshadows]

@GreenGray555 yo dawg i heard i heard u like bass solo's so i tore a whole in the universe so u can solo while u solo

[illusionFTW]

@GreenGray555 yo dawg xD

[4319Longshaw]

@GreenGray555 bass-ception

[OnlyKoolaid]

@GreenGray555 So the voice that says, "yo dawg....I heard you liked...bass solo..." is John.

[arrman92]

@GreenGray555 Yo dawg.. I heard you like bass solos!

[Tataru5117]

@GreenGray555 yo dawg, i heard you like bass solos...

[Tataru5117]

@GreenGray555 yo dawg i heard you like bass solos...

[BioGeometric066]

@GreenGray555 BASSCEPTION

[magnustia]

@GreenGray555 LOL OMG LOL

[paptbatbat]

@GreenGray555 yo dawg XD

[BobbyDaBassistBOB]

@yanktheirsoxoff I have a 6 string bass in 2 of my videos. It is indeed a bass, with a string tuned a 4th below (or B) and a string tuned a 4th above (or C) the strings of a standard tuned 4 string bass, or just a 5 string bass +1.

[utunze]

this solo is short but i don't blame it. Still, it's like a call my pinky a dick man!

[jaxichans]

dude shut up, that was so tight

[yanktheirsoxoff]

if it got more than 5 strings its not a bass

[666fireface666xxx]

@yanktheirsoxoff its a bass...

[Snorlax1500]

@yanktheirsoxoff Lmfao, obviously u know nothing about basses. Hell, there even are basses with 15 strings. You can also hear its a bass.

[jillkixwhatt47]

why does this remind me of a terminator 1 chase scene??

[Guitarmattms2010]

I think it's the first time I ever heard John Myung talk.

[RobertWeekes]

when I hear the bass solo in that song my loins tighten

[PR0T0TYP3MKII]

"And it sounds like this."

*EPIC BASS PWNAGE*

Me: Well alright then. :O

[danulym78]

that lyrics is realy by John Myung :P

[osalbaro]

Give him a rest, he's not used to talk...

[pro2go95]

I don't usually do a whole lot, but when I do, I usually think of chords when I apply my tapping.

The most interesting bassist in the world. LOL

[acebass123]

Its funny how everyone is tripping out that he actually talks. That is the same thing I was thinking when I saw this.  This guy is so bad on bass, he does not need to talk. His bass playing does all the talking for him.

[zyrbts]

Yo dawg I wrote you a song so you could do a bass solo while you do a bass solo

[CBFHVP]

This is fake. I can tell from some of the pixels and seeing quite a few shops in my life.

[KellyLivo13]

@CBFHVP ..........

[UrOwnStupidity]

@CBFHVP You're stupid. I can tell from the stupid comment and seeing quite a few stupid people in my life.

[Mindlabytinth]

@UrOwnStupidity You've been trolled in such a balatant way my brain refuses to stop laughing.

I can tell from your answer and from seeing quite a few successful trolls in my life.

[GrimKage]

John writing a bass solo: ...We need to go deeper

[kindofscary]

he is my teachers brother in law

[jorgebassmaster22]

@kindofscary I wanna meet him! Can you make it happen?

Nah just kidding....no seriously, can you? XD

[kindofscary]

@jorgebassmaster22 I suppose if I ask she can get me like V.I.P tickets, but I have seen Dream Theater in concert

[biggzcorey]

Oh my god iv'e never seen him talk so much

[BioGeometric066]

"I'm john myung. I don't usually play solos, but when i do, they will literally tear your face off."

[Flailwielder]

@BioGeometric066 The most interesting bassist in the world.

[nikitofin]

this is fake, john is talking :D

[ZManzaniithaw]

@nikitofin fuck you xDDDDDDDD

[ilikeamp]

cool \m/

[thijsbults]

this video is fake

because myung is talking

[Krafterr4]

Yo dawg, we heard you like bass solos so we put a bass solo in your bass solo so that when you do a bass solo you do a bass solo!
