Re: Squarepusher on BBC2's The Culture Show

[fakeharmonic]

well i dont think his age should be a factor of consideration, i enjoyed this solo, but check out those videos of squarepusher in 1996 and consider that he was only 20. i hope this kid will seek to progress that much save become a typical blues bassist. BUT i still think its good!! dont get me wrong!

[basslistic]

but then again, a can never listen to too much jaco..

[basslistic]

some1 has been listening to too much jaco pastorius..

[markymassacre]

hes got a some skill but squarepusher rapes and eats kids like this daily

[7raczyk]

Yeah. It's not even fair to compare the two.

[tomhateswhites]

cuntbox- thats shit

[thegoodusernameman]

Jaco clone much

[SpaceInvaders]

this is stupid.... a lot of people which are 16 do a lot better

[AnnexNuts]

Mediocre.

[WarpLover]

Talking out of you arse! He's 16 there for gods sake.

[arugula121]

sure he can slap some strings...but can he write a song????

[bw120205]

I don't quite get why this is a response to Squarepusher. Being a "good" musician means little or nothing because every city or town has someone who can play like that. Whether you are 16 or 40 doesn't really make a difference, having a unique approach to your instrument or music is what sets you apart, and thats why Squarepusher is so hailed.

[freezegelman]

well put...

[jsiminski]

My master

[urmuthasacrakhed]

Is that supposed to be as good or better than the squarepusher culture vid? im prosuming thats what your gettin at with the title...

If he's sixteen then fair play. musically boring as hell though... and expecting tom jenkinson its a proper let down.

Really though, bit cocky comparing ya self to squarepusher, got a loooong way to go yet man. good to aspire to the best though aye!!

[h2oz7v]

Lets see how many notes I can play in a few minutes!

[Ecclesio]

Ahh, come on guys. For 16 years old, he's tearing it up. Especially right around 60-80 seconds.

[enebykurs]

His technique is really good, but musicall, it's a bit boring I think.

[axolotl84]

very average

[Veqtor]

pretty avarage jazz bass playing

[mattmit]

you nobbend, even if it is 'pretty average Jazz bass playing'  youre a total moron to be so pompus about it. You pompus f*uck.

[RedskiAKAAutumn]

Maybe Mattmit needs to cool it on the venom there but yeh when you can play a bass that well you'll be in a position to comment, as for now this guy's awesome.

[disengage12a]

If this is to one up Tom, that kid is missing programing the drums and having an extensive knowledge of analog synth, he is still a pretty good bassist though

[DavidBookless]

what has that got to do with squarepusher?

[lozzatolli]

incredible, awesome regardless of age. technique is possibly as good as l.claypool and getting near to v.wooten.

[dreamness1]

damn good for 16.
