Victor Wooten & Anthony Wellington duel

[AaronRhcpBass]

0:08 his girlfriend must love him

[Zekester27]

wish it was longer :/



[TeeAreify]

I love that Wellington is so percussive he makes Vic look like a noodler.

[WiZdOm17]

@TeeAreify I don't know about that one my friend! I closed my eyes and just listened the second time and I felt Anthony didn't really say much in this video (mind you it was only a snippet, but if we were to rate that only Vic embarrassed Anthony)

Wellington's Percussive stuff reminds me of when Vic and his Brother had that "Thump Off" on the Bass Day 98 DVD. His brother was suspek!!! Though I'm sure he is better than just that one vid...

[rockandroll627]

just jizzed my pants!!!

[TheCriminal2334]

2 black guys playing bass? That's Racist! lol

[GabrielDhalaman2]

[polyshednj]

two ppl must be Malmsteen fans....

[klaasdesomer]

0:24 Victor watches and thinks "cool, but I can do better than that"

[cutoffs8]

they are so good.Anthony doesn't get the credit he deserves. he is a sold bass player.

[justinlaboy]

whoooo, listen to that groove on wooten! DAMN!

[thejess111]

2 people had brain aneurysms after watching this clip and subsequently bashed their heads on the mouse and clicked dislike

[BlueArmor171]

[TuttleMike]

Nice orange shirt

[MetalKidDanny]

They've got the "FUNK"!

[Fatboyfilmz]

you are incredibly lucky if you were there id kill to travel back in time and go

[pocholo839]

the black men are awsome is not a descrimination , i am a white man and i am musician and i see black people playing different types of instuments and they are so far than we, the whites. the best musicians nowadays are black people and there is a true.

[Xioaxioa10]

@pocholo839 you cant say a race is better by what youve seen. its a choosen few. look at billy sheehan as an amazing bassist and hes white. les claypool is white. sakurai is asain or whatever. and when it comes to guitar are you kidding me....do you know how many amazing guitarists there are of all ethnic groups. theres millions who havent even been discovered who are as good as every one you see who is famous....:/

[Hwwaaa]

Holy shit! I was in Old Town Sq. In Prague just last year lol great playing

[sebajo82]

The best part 0:26

[JazzBass7]

@sebajo82 Yeah man....it was, lol. Groove is everything.

[sebajo82]

@JazzBass7 ...and that´s the truth!

[hulkgl]

VICTOR!O CARA

[hewofwend]

Oh god these are fuking awesome. Tasty grooves that flow like the wine of ancient greece.

[eeobeeob]

@hewofwend Man that was cheesy.

[fatkiller1000]

@hewofwend thank you for mentioning greece

[takemasu45]

YEAH! groove

[rihaha]

God damn it, I had to been here. But I wasn't! nooo :(

[terrykumar]

people here should not think about who's better, its just a music conversation that happens between these 2.

[frafunk]

victor wins for me

[giorgizautashvili]

actually wins that who attended this live :)

[MarceloBassist]

this isnt a batle

[giorgizautashvili]

0:12 amazing when Victor stops and Antony continues his note

[fretlessphantom2000]

Anthony is good at what he does and so is Vic. They are different.

[BenHicks96]

Actually i change my mind Victor was better on that occasion!!!

[BenHicks96]

Victor Wooten has more passion and overall is a better bassist, but i think Anthony Wellington played better on that single occasion. Victor is overall better though!

[TwoBitSodapop]

@BenHicks96 i agree!!

[Zfate]

Wooten's a man who lives through his bass, not many of those around.

[leeble611]

no competition vic wins hands down

[6y298]

Thing I like about Vic is he knows how to be melodic while playing percussively and fast. Some guys are just fast, and boring if they go on too long.

[CptChaos88]

= billy sheehan. just fast and boring if he goes on too long.

;-)

[6y298]

to e honest i dont count Sheehan among the boring ones - he plays interesting lines. I'm thinking more pure slappers who go on and on in the key of E

[weirkool]

Dang. they're playing the hell outta those instruments. woot

[jwanbass]

i was drinking some juice while watching the video until about 8sec when i heard the sickest run in my life. ashamed to say but i almost had an accedent.LMAO wow!

[Zombbg4]

I love that single finger 16th note pluck thing Vic does at about 0:08

[gitterfritter]

Oh my god ... I know, so sick

[HeScreamsEpic]

THAT FIRST RIFF D:

is the sickest bass riff ive ever heard

[montenegrorocha1]

pena que não faça shows no brazil...... :(

[ZxMUTILATORxZ]

at 0:27 and onwards am i right in saying he is playing you cant hold no groove ?

[Romans10Verse9]

Naw that's a classic Victor Groove. He grooves like that quite a lot.

[tatt4music]

les come on now lets get real.Not even in the same game.

[gmcwhir]

yeah the first lick is something that I don't even know how to respond to...i might just cry

[olithestrangish]

Shiiiiii-

I'm gonna try desperately to get that first lick down. That was nuts.

[BlimpyBoy]

I don't listen to him much, but for what he does: You can't mess with the Woot. You just can't...

[lastdaysguitar]

Victor triumphs: he's got the touch.

[dacowboys10]

My band "OLD SKOOL"had the honor to open for John Lusky and Anthony Wellington this past Friday for the relay for life in Calvert County,they were both great and Anthony is a hell of a bass player. D

[BountyHunter233]

im not into that style but he is such a good musician

[milesAcarlson]

wooten is the man...him and les shood do a duet

[tisenderbluesman]

OMG!! The lick Victor is doing at 0:04 - 0:08 .. AWSOME! SICK! VICTOR ROLLS!!

[zaprowzdower110]

I don't think he's on Ecstasy...

[superdylon]

[1greggg]

[zeppelinfreak51]

I think Anthony is funkier, but Victor is a better all around player

[RAHMYULIS]

[HedvikaaMonika]

to jsou šílenosti co hrajou! ale máš tam úplně skvělý videa:-):-)

[AnthonyCoffeecake]

Dík :) ..v říjnu snad přídám videa SMV tria (Wooten, Miller, Clark). Skoro se bojím, co tam budou ti tři předvádět :)

[AnthonyCoffeecake]

Tam = v Lucerně.

[KurtSandford]

Why stop recording!?

Wow... would liked to have seen more of this!

[AnthonyCoffeecake]

I know, it´s infuriating. Unfortunately, it was my friend who took this video (my memory card was full). I told him that he possess a special talent for stop recording before it comes to its best :)

After this incident :) I bought new memory card so now it shouldn´t be problem take much longer records. Btw, I´m planning on attending SMV trio concert in October..so hopefully I will take some longer (and more complete) footage with Victor Wooten.

[KurtSandford]

Damn man! I would kill to watch those 3! Enjoy. And yes make sure you get footage! It could make history. (=

[slapbassman]

I just saw them last night and It is PHENOMENAL!!!!!!
