[Leftmebrokenhearted]

@prettyboytroy555 thats the point. dum ass

[divinesalvia]

Even if i uploaded a bass solo on my own channel i wouldnt

dare to put in a video response on a Mark king solo,No way i

would responding to one of the most bad ass slap blayer

in the world,thats having a little to much believe in my

self and a attitude that i have no respect for at all,but we are different

people and sombody cant resist like the one here calling

himself:stophit1.He is good but serious.

no no no show respect...

[Ry42Back]

@divinesalvia I agree not that good either.

[Brucy6666]

[Zarag0d]

He is absolutely amazing but Billy Sheehan is still my favorite bass player.

[australia007queen]

[Rave337]

@australia007queen Gianfranco.. Spagnulo??

[australia007queen]

@Rave337 Hi Rave,i don't explain in spanish language my opinion,let's try english language:no i'm not spanish and my uncle Gianfranco is not spanish

i'm australian and my uncle is Italian,anyhow me and my uncle love level 42,Gianfranco loves Mark King,he consider him the best bass player in the world,i love John Deacon [Queen] :) see you soon dear Rave! ^_^

[Rave337]

@australia007queen Hi Australia, i write Spagnulo like your uncle's surname. If he's from Taranto i know him! :D

[hallyfella]

That man is a God. Ive seen 42 so many times and they never once let me down. Slap away that man , superb.

[fishfan67]

Barnard Edwards has the best feeling,,, and as far as putting licks together you cant beat him... BUT.. TM Stevens is very close is some of his work as well. thats in my opinion.

[mick818522]

Who is the best? Mark King or Bernard Edwards. So hard to choose.

[LCHC1]

and what about louis johnson, larry graham, bootsy collins?....

[gaerboy]

NO ONE IS BETTER

[thechineseway]

Nice one ryan haven't seen this before.

[beng1lh00ly]

Where on earth did you find this! So much better than the one on Fait Accompli!

[Mowac]

That was pure sick! You've graced my eyes with another great video Ryan....Mark must have a two-stroke engine in that right hand..............damn he's fast!

[Ry42Back]

Glad you like it mate i thought you might but you are so right what speed!!

[ramon709]

Well they are tricks for the most part(saying that with respect for marks skills ofcourse). He isnt doing anything much different then he does in his songs when it comes to slap speed. Its the left hand tapping (hammer-on's) that makes it sound sick.

there is a clip here on youtube where he explains some of the tricks.

[Generalbas1972]

Hmm..well that's not 100% true what you say. There is a bit more invovled than just hammer-on's. They are a big part of Mark King's slapping but they are not all of it. Left hand slapping, ghost slapping, mute pulls and ofc hammer-on's all those things combined makes the sound.

[ramon709]

I was talking about his right hand speed, its not much different then he does in his songs, the combination between the hands makes it sound insanely fast.
