Firewater

[ItsSomeDeadGuy]

5:45

Jesus.

[cpamiseso]

Akira is better...

[Basstard22]

It's great that Tetsuo plays Fodera basses! Very good choice for this song. But why can't I find him on the artist list on their website?

[orionbassmaster666]

Dennis fucking chambers few people can stand in league with this man , you can see how much he and tetsuo enjoy themselves , and the bass tone is just perfect . great line-up

[Tunaan360]

Why is the Original Firewater vid with Akira Jimbo taken down?

[cpamiseso]

@Tunaan360 Chambers hates it...it makes him look ugly while playing drum... :p

[matuokasan]

黒人が演奏すると何かすごいサマになるよね。。

[cackule48anthem]

マジでドラム圧倒的過ぎる・・・

[yogurtdrum93]

Dennis. lol

that's some drumming that other musicians don't want to play along.

absolutely amazing

[cackule48anthem]

ドラム上手すぎる・・・

上手いし迫力もすごい・・・

途中から櫻井さんがついていけてないように見えた・・・

でも、櫻井さんのベースも実に男らしくて渋い良い音を出してる。­

[drozdr61]

Is it just me or are these crazy bass players seriously a RARE breed?! Mine's lazier than my 16yr old dog... Does anyone else notice this?!

[bananafingerrrs]

@drozdr61 Yeah buddy I can sympathise..

Most bass players can be! I guess it depends on the music though...

Bass players playing in Jazz bands are rarely lazy 'cos it's just too damn hard to be nonchalant about it!

As I bass player myself...it's easy to get complacent because to play this kind of stuff takes thousands of hours practice and killer determination...

Show him this and tell him to get off his lazy arse and get groovin!

[timlol99]

you can't dislike this kinds of videos....

[timearchitecture]

black ppl and asians are better at everything

[jacob7207]

Sexy Japanjazzmaster slapity tap pause yeah me so horny.

[rbrtactivate]

this one made me smile

[antibulletdodger101]

I dont think this one hit the radios

[Kevss24]

thats a musician!!!

[fonsecajunior1]

..i feel sorry for the musicians that play for justin bieber and such..yea..they get paid well..but the music is garbage..compositions like firewater are just flat out fun and challenging to play..

[cpamiseso]

is it just me or i think that jimsaku's version is better?

[caparkapa]

05:05 - 05:40 it's like he is torturing him for pleasure.

[caparkapa]

dennis chambers playing this like "it's akira's song, and im not should do anything to mess it up!"

[RDdVB]

muito muito muito bom!! WOW...

[Hackfrostcs]

MAESTROS!!! ESTO ES MUSICA MIERDAS!!

[aronferencz]

nickslespaul i love musicians!

[drummakid101]

This isn't the same without Akira Jimbo.

[bbebop]

sick!

[connersaltzer]

Dennis can't replace Akira.

[Chacarron2006]

That shit ain't nothing, where's the guitar and why a bass has so many strings?, that guy should decide into playing guitar or bass but not both in the same instrument. And WTF is with the drums?, he is too old to be drummer just doing shit on 4/4. I can do that on my rockband kit.

[andyviews]

Troll

[AlejoProductions]

@Chacarron2006 ... are you stupid??? rlly.... is called 6 string bass to play more sounds dumbass like 7 string guitars... also the drums... i notice you dont know anything abrout drummers ...i play drums and this is fucking challenging to play dumbass i wanna see a video of u playing it fucker!

[antibulletdodger101]

lol!

[scottyrhj]

Outrageous drumming, epic work. Tetsuo is a mint bass player, great tone.

[priest1989]

i just love it

[shawnphase]

holy fucking shit, dennis chambers, you sultry catfish you. i love you forever and ever,ironman or whatever on the bass, youre good too but damn...those drums. those drums.

[manthisprog]

Jajajaj Tetsuo shaking it at 2:37 ...

Amazing piece!

[arthurthegreat]

Chambers is like a machie.

[rockitmanley]

Dennis Chambers is all over the map and plays with a lot of good people. He is one to learn from.

[odisrucker]

This is the first time I've seen Chambers sweat a little...That syncopation at the end is so nasty

[mkgaz1]

that dum dum ....dum dum bit is sik

[bigtoine45]

I would have lost the bass part a long time ago. Bravo Tetsuo. It almost looks like Dennis wants to make him sweat.

[snappy2111]

JACKIE CHAN!

[phelipethiago]

Awesome²!!!!!

Dennis Chambers is the man!!!!

he's fuckin' playing on 6/4, so difficult!!!

[odisrucker]

thats isn't 6/4 dude

[paulalexanderjohnson]

You can count it in 6/4 though

[SuperSkaJoe]

Nah, this is 4/4.

[paulalexanderjohnson]

I know its in 4/4 ... but you can count in 6/4 ... but you really have to think about it

[paulalexanderjohnson]

I know its not in 6/4 ... but you can count it that way ... think about it

[SuperSkaJoe]

Sure you can count it in 6/4 but Tetsuo and Dennis are both thinking in 4. To count this song in 6/4 is completely unpractical. None of the phrasing would feel right.

[SuperSkaJoe]

However, a 6/8 afro feel can be felt in this if subdivided, as with most clave based grooves, but once again I don't see Dennis nor Tetsuo ever go into that feel.

[paulalexanderjohnson]

That's what I'm saying. lol

[SuperSkaJoe]

6/4 is not the same as 6/8.

[paulalexanderjohnson]

OMG ... did i say anything about 6/8? I was just talking about the 6/4 ...

[stratocanus]

Awesome!!!!!

[happyslappysoong]

what bass is that?

[delaiMo]

its a fodera, like use victor wooten and richard bona

[dh0licious]

z0mg 6:04 onwards ...... !!!!!

[PAYOLITAdianita]

=o

bien...............

[caranauba]

it reminds me a lot of victor wooten in some parts

[Whankedi420]

That intro is insane!!

[ronufas]

Chambers trying to fool Sakurai xD

[ActionHero4]

Same timimg throughout the whole bit....i think they were just syncing up, and maybe having some fun too.

[ronufas]

Terribly hard to keep track of it.. But great fun! :D

[wesjoe311]

this sounds like really kick-ass elevator music.

[nickslespaul]

I love music made for musicians!

[xRisingForcex]

yeah i hate the kind made for scultpors

[phantomofguilt]

Haha sculptors, you make me laugh.

Didn't know you were into this sort of stuff man.

Tetuso is a God.... "My" God!

I love Dennis' solo with his tempo changes and stuff, and the way he always knows where the beat is even after that is amazing!

[xRisingForcex]

tetsuo is a bitchin bassist

chambers' beats drip groove as well

[devor3]

Totally agree, imagine a jimsaku just instead of akira jimbo having dennis chambers!!! That would rule!!! In the dvd Dennis Chambers says Tetsuo is one of the bass players he's been totally mofortable playing with, and he means it, they just played the same tour eith the same line up last year in japan, and he plays a couple of tracks on this years release: tetsujino double trouble!!!

[sneijder023]

5:31 i dont get it

[boubito]

BRILLANT!!!

Amazing groove!

Dennis + tetsuo = god music

[onesogreat77]

hard this here

[DissidentGenro]

My god that groove is fucking amazing...Dennis...Tetsuo...yo­ur both gods at your craft! ;)

[kaiserperv]

una bandaq cambiaar la historia del progressive rock De los olivos pal MUnDo

[kaiserperv]

Si NerOO tu al aces en mega plaza promesa

[cgiustini]

is it just me or do the repeated chords tetsuo plays during dennis' solo sound unbelievable?

[imnazhole]

DAMN!!!

[hugobingate]

oh my god!

[bullezinho]

Dennis is my hero!

[jumborat12]

akira jimbo is more efficient...Check out Jimsaku firewater

[luxmita]

uuufffff tengo un orgamo

[testament27]

CONHETUMARE WN!!! // FUCK, CHET, !!!

[fonsecajunior1]

..as awesome as tetsuo is in his playing..his writing is even better!..who knew the dude wearing funky outfits in his casiopea days could compose stuff like this...

[ChronoZINC529301]

That's a nice sounding Fodera

[knighthash]

ChamSaku lol... kicks ass.

But jimsaku is better...

[montreano]

slow version. good for learning sakurai style. dennis acuracy is 65%. to much empty.

[Horaxlfa]

You really think, they were trying to copy 92's "Firewater" exactly by note? Different musicians, different views. It Tetsuo wanted it to be the same, he'd call Jimbo. And still, in 16 years it won't sound the same.

[tukangindomie]

dennis-sakurai = not bad

jimbo-sakurai = perfect!!

you have to watch the real firewater by jimsaku...

[frhodes2]

Man 4:52 is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bigrickstar]

Oh My God @ 4:11!

[BokorugroRR]

After 5mins; perfect song to dance to!

[bonafidedominican]

my goodness tha bass on 00:34-00:36 sound so ugghh i don even kno, i got chills listenin to that

[vidmaker8294]

The Chord's supposed to be like that.

[afrotension]

LOl lovin it when Dennis drops the tempo....tetsuo kept it tight though....

[jeiyk26]

dennis did a different way of playing latin groove in this tune,great...

[bookstore097]

holy shit. that was fucking incredible

[badwormguy]

Where can I find Bass sheet music (or tab) for Firewater?

[deathorca]

no where.. figure it out.

[z0rd]

Damn! 3:08 is so finger lickin good

[z0rd]

its like they have metronomes built in their heads

[drummereye]

Nice @ 4:11

[Silvadrums]

very good

[GODCORRUPTED]

dennis is my living God

[BassThrasher]

Not to take anything away from Dennis Chambers (he's amazing), but I think Akira Jimbo does a better job on this tune.

[FranconianBassplayer]

Great!

[trwylekat]

Sakurai and Victor Wooten are the only kats i know that can hang with DC.

[baaqar1]

stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­opid chops

[5CheeseLasagna]

Well, I'm a drummer, and I envy Dennis for playing under a bass sound like that. I don't think it sounds bad at all. It sounds great! As a drummer, I really love a bass sound like that.

[millerandres]

a fodera with bad sound!!!!!!!!!

[Autumnmaker]

is that a Fodera (sakurai's bass)?

[aslkbv1534]

yeah

[aslkbv1534]

anyone know where i can get tabs for this?

[vALTOrD]

get some study ,otherwise you never gonna be able to playit!!!!!

[phantomofguilt]

Really it's best if you create your own transcription of it. It's great ear training and you know more about the technical side of the piece. rather than just listening to get the rhythm and reading the fret numbers off of the computer monitor or a sheet of paper etc.

[TioTjangTjit]

g udah mutusin berenti maen musik, setelah liat video ini g jadi pingin bermusik lagi!!1

[Gapenting]

wakakakkaka tetsuo ama dennis emang mantep dah...

Yeah Tetsuo and dennis it's a great musicians

[edave33]

always makin me smile...love this stuff...the extraction album is fantastic

[yamahahahahahahahaha]

Thank goodness they put this back up...... great song.

[TheMixahOwns]

I just realized in the solo, you HAVE to count, even though it's in 4/4 timing.

[TheMixahOwns]

Cool Video.

[ShinkuAkuma]

It never fails to amaze me! I watch this video all the time.

Dennis Chambers is awesome, just groove wise. The way he solos is different.. he's just owns everyone at drumming.

Tetsuo Sakurai, awesome bassist.

[Curtib22]

Jeeze, aint this a super group? Tetsuo and chambers!

[nile83]

Masterclass!!!/UltraCast truest sound :)

[rhinehartd]

Thanks so much for posting this video. You made my day!

[timiotul]

uffffff , i like this DVD and this song .Tetsuo it`s a great bass player

[theneweden]

O Tetsuo é um ótimo baixista, mas não podemos esquecer do Dennis, um puta baterista!
