Jazz Slap Double Bass underground busker. - Sixteen Tons

[illegalusername]

This guy owns. He owns all the bones

[simonsomatic]

I saw this guy in Bayswater yesterday, gave him £2. Was hoping someone had him on film, and I don't usually like buskers.

[bassmandeadguns84]

wow,good rymt

l ets go guys continue

[RYANN36]

he should have a little wooden box that he uses as a drum machine and he would be the most awesome one man band that I've ever seen

[RYANN36]

how could all those people just walk past him like he is a nobody, if he would make a cd with a drum on the background I would buy it for shure

[JeronimoGregolini]

This guy is amazing! There with the bass, singing and enjoying. What a talent! People need to learn what a true talent is and stop eating media poop of the month!

I would give that guy as much as i can in that moment just to encourage his awesomeness!

[mershad19]

unfair,at least he should play in a bar...

[KingSchenja]

is makes me sad to see that amazing guys like this one play for nothing in subway, and some stupid bitches like lady gaga are making millions with commercial shit on mtv..

thump up, i hope unce upon a time you will find a nice band, and become famous!

[TheSchaef]

This guy is brilliant. Love this song.

[MadcapMan]

Busking is where the real talent lies.

[Downzy2019]

agree there mate

[SwampDaddy7]

Amen, brother!

[diabolodu93]

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L OMG!!! gg

[CludzyMasta]

This is soooo good!

[Tonynihill]

I play bass but could never do it on my own.Wow i take my hat of to that guy.THATS GREAT

[jtwibell]

Awesome! Anyone know who that guy is?

[oeconomito]

man you should go back there and tell that guy that he just got famous on youtube

[icecraz3]

I pity those who don't know any better, especially when it comes to music. Music brings life and enlightenment. Ignorance is a sin...

[faceman1995]

good point é

im a musician but i dont get any girls

weird how it works

[icecraz3]

alot of girls are pretty shallow and guys too, but girl's most certainly like bad boy type, yep it's a strange world.

[japa1990]

thats what has come to this world, the talented people are playing in the subway stations and the talentless people are on mtv making millions.

[panikattak14]

sad isnt it? of course there are plenty of good musicians out there who are famous, but those musicians who play for nothing but some spare change and the joy of playing, are the true masters of their art.

[faceman1995]

he looks like hes having fun though :)

thats what maters

[japa1990]

it is sad, a sad and unfair thing. However nothing is better than enjoying your job. I much rather go work everyday playing music and not making as much than going to an office and doing paperwork...etc.

[drhans1]

so do it :)

[Nagap]

damn cat your good!!!

[bapbass]

Nice! He is a band!

[IncorporealRecords]

He's actually really good

[beardymcbeardbeard]

This guy's so cool!

[JosephKingOfKids]

theres people walking past. MADNESS!!! basterds id watch him all day.

[TAKENnameARGH]

People do have trains to catch you know.

[IncorporealRecords]

I would too! Haha

[KingSchenja]

amazing musik and performance, this guy should play in germany where i live, and he will earn more than 100 euro a day :)

[howhardgerrard]

wow 100 euros you could probably get a ham burger and the bus home for that, I would say in the west end he earns about £200-£250 a day easy.

[liquidglaze16]

look at all those wankers just walk straight past this guy got soul :D

[myron099]

you know this isn't jazz, right

[howhardgerrard]

thanks for your input moron099

[kymrence]

but this isn't jazz. Great music, just the wrong genre.

[eliotbaring]

Sad how many people walk past and not even have the taste to reliase they are listening to not only a great player, but great music.

I agree with everyone. He should be playing in a club.

[dacapo9]

but how is London tube with busking? do you have to buy any allowance? heard about that...

[redhotSchillerpepper]

Muscle and blood and skin and bones....great playin´ 5/5

[23theznarf]

why does nobody give him money for this great job?

he should play n a bar, tell him!

[PeteMc5150]

it's London innit mate, no-one really pays any attention to anyone else. :(

[requiemrx]

Wow. He's great and he should be playing in a club.

[Gengstaboy978]

He definitely should consider that cuz i really dont know why a person with such talent like him should be there he maybe might get some change but u can get paid 500$ a day in real places.

[atinmanwithheart]

this guy's rad.

[NEKROBAT666]

cheap ass people, this guys got talent.

[bassbaby5]

wish i had the guts to do that :O

[wingbatknickers]

cheap people! Give him some spare change you scrouges!

[scribo79]

what a player

rock and roll

[jhvl82112844]

wow people are so unappreciative- they just walk past. this guy is very good.

[achukachu22]

that one lady RAN.

[pingpongpung]

Some people have trains to catch, that is why they don't stop.

[XDUKAHX]

he shouldn't be playing in a subway. he should be playing amped up with some other guys and rockin it up

[funkbassboy]

I so wanna jam with that guy

[AeroAstro]

Awesooooomeee

I want to start busking, i might try and play some buckets or a djembe seeing as im a drummer, but i dont know if i'd get much money.

This guy is funky though

[ussixtysix]

Come to N.Y. And Busk With ME!

[Metallicazack]

Well I've been practicing bass since that day after school, no more guitar for me! I'm a bassist now! I'm getting a bass guitar for Chrsitmas and hope to have a few vids up by January!

[VengefulTikiGod]

This guy's awesome! Kickass tune and playing.

[thejugglenaut91]

very fuckin good, i would give him a 20

[Metallicazack]

Aewsome! I'm a cellist in middle school, and I'm taking up guitar, and one day after school I just started playing the bass... I'm getting better but I doubt I'll ever be as good as him :D

[Ryanvbon]

Hey dude don't be like that you've got to have confidence

[boomgungun]

I'm a busker also, check it out.

[tallie84]

hell yeah

[timnjb]

this guy is the shit!

[prediger1]

absolutly cool

[OscarSouth]

What song is that?

[leoseries]

Sixteen Tons. Very popular in the fifties. Tennessee Ernie Ford had a hit version.

[cavemeister]

It says in the title "sixteen tons" johnny cash

[OscarSouth]

It does now. The song is by Merle Travis by the way, cash just covered it.

[cavemeister]

I was just giving an example of who sang it :S

[jdmillspa]

who by the way kicks ass(Travis that is).

[lash1024]

The song is actually by Tennesee Ernie Ford.

[howhardgerrard]

Merle Travis first!

[sachalex]

This kid is inspiring. Rock my soul, he sings.

That's the spirit. Very Sam shepardian.

Cool!

[HellvisNotDead]

Rockabilly rules!!!!!

[uglyswanLive]

Awesome performer he is!

I hope I could meet him one day in the tube station.

[cormac666]

good job you sould have givin him more money for that great performance

[steadydave]

wow this guy is awesome, do believe that if i had seen this guy would have given him all the money i had for such a great performance!

[gamcall]

Speaking as a licensed London Underground busker myself, this guy is top notch. And thankyou to the recorder for focussing on the *busker*. Great stuff - real and totally in the moment.

[dimebucker2]

dum ta ta dum ta ta dum ta ta dum ta ta

[fionnion]

thats pretty cool
