I can guarantee you that the fault lies with the trumpet section and the drummer (bongos too). Percussion here is just not with it...they play every two and four; that's beach boys, not jazz fusion. Also trumpets aren't agile enough...maybe the 1st is hitting most of his licks, but as a whole they miss all the fast stuff.
Lastly, we cant expect a sax solo like the lead from the Seatbelts, most sax players couldn't emulate that on a good day.
@m0rl0rd Hahaha only on rock tunes is it 1 and 3. If there is any jazz to it or if you are doing a jazzier version of a song the emphasized beats are 2 and 4.

weak drum intro, the drum intro is the very beginning of the song! it should be a KICK IN THE FACE not a simple eighth note progression across the TOMS! what r u drummer? a FIVE year old?
ahh....I see why you're not feeling it "TheArt0fWarfare" it's because those wind players are kinda wimping out on the exciting "dahdah..dahdah..dahdah......dahdah" part like there's no excitement involved in playing but rather just read-to-play feel to it.
ok... this is a picky song amongst fans... DO NOT MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!! I noticed that during the sax solo... wtf... and youve gotta really push it... and bring the notes up... and it... does... in fact speed up in certain areas... overall...? Work on it!! Trumpet? Good job!!
yeah the begining is missing the brushy sound the bass makes. and also theres a bunch of shit the drummer just isnt doing- thats where i think it looses alot of its energy. still pretty good tho. they just gotta bang out and play like they want to be there- blow the fucking room up. as argith said "this is a balls to the wall"
Saxes sound like someone missed some notes from 1:08 to 1:10. Trumpets at 1:21 to 1:27, the same. MOAR COWBELL (more bass). Alto solo, that should be 8va. Guitar solo ruins the feel. Feels like the energy isn't that. Part of that is a lot of the crescendos that weren't so noticeable in the original. This is a balls-to-the-wall song. Play it like one! Great effort, though, and so much better than others!
Ehhh, it's a nice try but it doesn't have the same character as the original. Also it's missing a lot of hits especially in the bass. Also it's not harmonically the same as the original...
Guitar and bass should be doubled one octave on that riff for most of the beginning. Especially the intro. The intro sounds gritty and chunky due to the acoustic guitar doubling on that line.
wait there where trumpets? For the love of all that is holy get your horns up so you can be herd by more than that trombone player in front of you! urgh... The trumpet part should have been screaming over the rest of the band to the point and near overbalance.
Haha, I agree. The bane of every trumpet player's existence - posture. Homeboy in the red shirt got a proper posture, and guess what... you can hear him. But he's 3rd trumpet... counter-melodies and harmonies... he's meant to compliment, not dominate, the other trumpets.
Acidblasta, sounds like you were in a jazz band or some other sort of band? Your director constantly scream at the trumpets to get their horns out of the stands? hehe
yep played trumpet through high school and into college was a music major tell i got sick... but yeah we got that all the time once our band directer made us play from marching posture tell we fixed it. so we had to constantly keep our horns above a 45 degree angle.
Man, I wish I could play this with my Jazz Band. I'm first Trumpet and I'm trying to get those high notes. D: They're so high up. I respect these guys for trying to play this song. It's not so bad actually ^^
is this really a college level band? saxes way out of tune, listen to each other man. trumpets crackin all over the place. and the whole set up is a little strange. what's up with the soloists? the overall balance of the band is below average to average of a high school/good middle school band.
Wow, just got done watching the live version by the seatbelts and you can tell the difference, other than the volume. Awesome job guys, just got some 'ruff edges is all.
I don't care about the tempo... I fell they are ruining Tank!'s funk... other than that it's still good... Tank! is hard to do and these guys know how to play... I'll give them a 3 maybe 4 for the diferent solos, LOL!!!!!
The beginning of the close with the guitar reminds me of the guitar solo lead-in on Becker, but that was just the shittiest way you could end that song.
an easy and repetative song cant even be played right by a university ensemble. my high school ensemble does a better job than this, and its actually played according to teh real thing
not only that, but the soloist cant even do fast blues runs or even hit altissimo.
true but she...or he...not for sure...could've listened to jazz music when he/she grew up so deathbyshinigami is right. race doesn't have anything to do with musical intelligence.
ha ha this is the best intrepretation of the original I have seen so far. A lot could of been fixed but the best so far that I have seen except of course the original.
The only thing I hate about this is that some of the trumpets were playing into the back of other players heads! YOU CAN'T HEAR those AMAZING trumpet SCREAMS! Thats what MAKES TANK TANK! Otherwise.... ABSOLUTLY amazing recording!
People! Arguments concerning music are fruitless. Just enjoy what each culture, band, and region has to offer musically. You can compare, but don't criticize an interpretation just because its not exactly like everything else.

Jazz is nothing like what it used to be. I did say Amercanized the worst way possible. This tank is nothing like how it's supposed to be played. Jazz from the states the past 15 years have been disgraceful. It doesn't matter you plays it just as long as it is Jazz which is a big difference between a song sounding like jazz.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is so americanized, in the worst way possible. It makes me sick to my stomach. I wouldn't ever call this "Tank!". The least they could have done is actually play the song. I wouldn't even start to play the song if I couldn't, you know?
How does one Americanize a jazz song? I know Tank! is performed and written by a Japanese band but its still jazz none the less. Unless I'm wrong jazz is an American form of music.
Americans?! American's couldn't have created Jazz. The fundamental base for any other type of music that came out of the states?! I don't think so. Jazz muscians created jazz. Not Americans. The way you're putting it, it sounds like you have a bad case of American pride.
Americans from Louisiana in the 1900's did create Jazz OSG. It's great music that people from various parts of the world love. Just like we like classical music that arose from Europe or Gagaku from Asia. Is it so hard to take pride in something that your people made? *Disclaimer* (by taking said advice, it may cure weak heart syndrome)
It is American but it came from African and European music traditions, mostly West African. Its well known for being in America in the 19th and 20th century, but few know its origins. I don't see why so many people gave you thumbs down, OSG. You're right. It kind of is American pride.
The jazz band at my high school's doing this song. Imma doing guitar. It's weird for us because there's 2 other guitars in the jazz band as well. So we gotta find a way to make that work.the drummer and bass player are solid as all fuck, though I gotta say.
there is an electric warwick bass, it is a fusion group so maybe because their other songs that require an electric bass and they couldn't bring both? they are pretty heavy and expensive....
double bass is standard electric is the new thing hahah, and the effect he is using sounds a lot like a double bass. (or at least his amp settings) Actually most jazz is better with a double bass haha. Except for fusion of course!
I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but the fact of the matter is that someone doesn't necessarily have to play saxophone or trumpet to criticize someone else who does. Mind you, it does help, but a person can also offer a good opinion based off of hearing what is accepted to be "good" trumpet/sax playing.
That said, the trumpets really couldn't hit any of the high notes. The sax solo was decent, but clearly based off of scales rather than melody (i.e. lacked phrasing). It was good, otherwise.
Here you go. I'm a musician. I've done piano, trumpet, french horn, voice and meddled with percussion, all of which I've played in varying degrees of difficulty and style (including jazz).
This performance was vastly inferior to that of The Seatbelts.
yeah, its high...unfortunately, all three first trumpets of my high school's jazz ensemble can hit quite a few notes higher than the highest note in the original sheet music in this song. keep practicing, you'll get it eventually!
I'm willing to lend the recording some of the blame for the audio..I refuse to believe the conductor would allow the rhythm to be so overpowering, even with such a heavy, funky tune. It really was good, considering how some other covers have turned out. Not the original, but great fun all the same.
I really missed the countoff (3, 2, 1, Let's Jam!) in the beginning, though. Nobody had the guts to get up with a mic and do the intro? :P I would fight for the right, if I were in that group.
i mean i like this arrangement cause it's a octave lower and it seems more manigle for a highschool jazz band with is cool but it would be nice to get a littlemore suport with some more woodwinds and less rythm section

Is it so hard to take pride in something that your people made? *Disclaimer* (by taking said advice, it may cure weak heart syndrome)

It is American but it came from African and European music traditions, mostly West African. Its well known for being in America in the 19th and 20th century, but few know its origins. I don't see why so many people gave you thumbs down, OSG. You're right. It kind of is American pride.

The jazz band at my high school's doing this song. Imma doing guitar. It's weird for us because there's 2 other guitars in the jazz band as well. So we gotta find a way to make that work.the drummer and bass player are solid as all fuck, though I gotta say.

There is no double bass. WHY IS THERE NO DOUBLE BASS?!
Yojizu 2 years ago
there is an electric warwick bass, it is a fusion group so maybe because their other songs that require an electric bass and they couldn't bring both? they are pretty heavy and expensive....

But dude.
They're playing Tank!.
WITHOUT A DOUBLE BASS.
Just kidding, I know how much those things cost, but the sound and feel of it just fits the song much better than a standard bass.
Yojizu 2 years ago
double bass is standard electric is the new thing hahah, and the effect he is using sounds a lot like a double bass. (or at least his amp settings) Actually most jazz is better with a double bass haha. Except for fusion of course!

Thank you. I agree.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but the fact of the matter is that someone doesn't necessarily have to play saxophone or trumpet to criticize someone else who does. Mind you, it does help, but a person can also offer a good opinion based off of hearing what is accepted to be "good" trumpet/sax playing.
That said, the trumpets really couldn't hit any of the high notes. The sax solo was decent, but clearly based off of scales rather than melody (i.e. lacked phrasing). It was good, otherwise.

Here you go. I'm a musician. I've done piano, trumpet, french horn, voice and meddled with percussion, all of which I've played in varying degrees of difficulty and style (including jazz).
This performance was vastly inferior to that of The Seatbelts.

The impression I get is that these guys have never heard the Seatbelts performance, and learned it from paper.

You should see the music for the original. Which is why they went with the improv version. We played this last year.

the real trouble witht this song is that the trumpet part is really high and trust me it's high cuz i play trumpet lol (well maybe high for me only)
0sprite0 3 years ago
yeah, its high...unfortunately, all three first trumpets of my high school's jazz ensemble can hit quite a few notes higher than the highest note in the original sheet music in this song. keep practicing, you'll get it eventually!
we have faith in you.

I'm willing to lend the recording some of the blame for the audio..I refuse to believe the conductor would allow the rhythm to be so overpowering, even with such a heavy, funky tune. It really was good, considering how some other covers have turned out. Not the original, but great fun all the same.
I really missed the countoff (3, 2, 1, Let's Jam!) in the beginning, though. Nobody had the guts to get up with a mic and do the intro? :P I would fight for the right, if I were in that group.

i mean i like this arrangement cause it's a octave lower and it seems more manigle for a highschool jazz band with is cool but it would be nice to get a littlemore suport with some more woodwinds and less rythm section
lordrahXephon 3 years ago
i need more sax in this. all of the woodwinds need to pump it up and really slam this.
theinvisiblelight 3 years ago
You did great! But the original had more... Punch? Yeah, I think that's the word for which I am looking.
EralForgan 3 years ago
That's because the original was an octave or two higher at some of the parts.
