Medeski Martin & Wood New Planet

[bradthompson86]

spectacular!

[redXtensionsofme]

everyone here has just been handed proof that jazz gods do exist



[LedZeppelinisgod100]

SO GROOVY.

[luvisacigarette8]

I covered this song in my last band and it's soooo fun to play and even though no one knew it the audience always grooved and danced. proof that this tune is true magic!

[pakafew22]

medeski plays this lick at 7:51 that makes me wanna bend a bitch over and do unspeakable things. jesus christ.

[masterexploder83]

Ah, apparently you see no value in the active listening portion of a good debate. If you take the time to read my previous statement a second time, perhaps you will notice that I merely mentioned the fact that you are not participating in a debate. What I will do here is elaborate on that message. A debate can happen anywhere, at anytime; on this point we agree. My point is that you are solely attacking me out of context and order. Attacks have no place in a debate. There are rules to obey

[pakafew22]

good god. they are so brilliant. i have never heard them absolutely destroy this song the way they do in this performance. hell yes.

[RobKKendall15]

awesome vid 

[greenfruitface]

If you can listen to this and not tap a foot, rock to and fro, or not show the groove in some other physical way, then you must be 1/2 way to dead.

[MohadibTheHorrible]

@greenfruitface to and fro aye? reading too much LOTR me thinks

[greenfruitface]

@MohadibTheHorrible Sorry, I don't follow your comment. But my point is, yeah, they kick serious fucking ass with in this performance. Me thinks that for sure.

[twelvebass]

i wanted to write "speechless" but then a friend told me that i can sure as hell talk 9:52 min about this song :P

thank the deity of your choice for the day they met: 20 years of pushing the groove! i hope they all live to be hundred :D

[FunkMartian]

Diggin' Billy Martin on the birds!

[maidoodesu]

crazy nice planet ! です.

[greenfruitface]

Sorry, one more. Look at Billy killin' it at 7:11. Guh-damn!

[greenfruitface]

When I grow up (I'm 35) I want to be Billy Martin.

[torpeligneB]

Musique de négros faite par des blankos. Trop bien !

[groovemanx]

All These Guys shouldhave wallets that say" Bad Mutherfucker" on it!

[wheresthebeefheart]

I agree 100%.

Best rendition of New Planet I've ever heard. The intro is genius.

[M00101001]

haha yes they should..

[TWOTOSrecords]

@groovemanx

hell, yeah!!

love

[MrTotoMMW]

@groovemanx FUCK YEAH!!!!!!! pulp fiction detected

[J0hnTheSkater]

He fucking kills it on the bass at the end.

[edchisholm1]

Man... That solo at 3:38 is so tight!

[mateopumba747]

im looking for one of MMW's songs that used to be posted somewhere around here, i just cant remember the name of it, i remember it had this really nice slide bass riff, i someone knows which song im talking about i would love to know

[daPsychopomp]

illyB, the liquid drummer of the tao

chris, bass deep in a pocket of funk

'ski, keying the sonic spirit of the soul

[tranquisboy]

cool

[ludegood]

This is a Perfect Example of how Bad Ass these three are Live,,,on CD too, but this song is off of "End of the world party" and isnt Hal This amazing....they really go out on their live performances and you realize just how much of a Virtuoso Medeski is and all of them, its just amazing....

[masterexploder83]

you gotta love Billy Martin. Never fails to come out with something crazy and awesome. I guess that's how you can be melodic on the drumset.

Why do people feel the need to debate on youtube? makes no sense. Just watch the free vids of awesome shit and have fun with it.

[MohadibTheHorrible]

@masterexploder83 why not debate on youtube, its a public forum gaylord

[masterexploder83]

@MohadibTheHorrible You make zero sense. You are not participating in a debate. Gaylord is not an insult, it is a name which means "high spirited, or boisterous."

[MohadibTheHorrible]

@masterexploder83  Oh so debates must be confined to pre-approved debating areas? lol And yes, you seem very high spirited, or boisterous

[aduckonamission]

soo groovy.

[hpiccinini]

lukagerm: the insane, better crazy, noise at 2:38 is, 4 me, the synth, could be wrong, but i think im ok.

Bla Bla Bla, i dont like the drugs but the drugs like me, all religions r bullshit, except for their begining, where they was sincerily a way to unite ppl with an spiritual searching.

Love is the truth and the path, he is the only one who can show us the power of our spirit, and the way to experiment that spirit. Love love love, Johnny was right.

I forgot, curiosity too, that common felling

[DonBartholomeo89]

the human takes drugs since the beginning of his existance ... i really like going out to a shop and buy some weed if i dont do too often

even if im no member of any specific religion i think the people need something to believe in even zachrhea whatever it is

i wont pay or pray for an institution that killed millions of people because of pure racism too

but who cares i like weed even if i wont smoke for a long time

[lukagerm]

What is the insane noise at 2:38?

[wheresthebeefheart]

A Mini-Moog synth.

[plastikdonutspam]

Are you serious, of course everyone in MMW smokes bud. If you dont belive me type in Medeski, Martin, & Wood-Snake Anthony and then see what you think, the video is awsome!

[ashs1988]

I think they're just high on music, life, people, experiences, nature, each other

[17sleep]

damn drummers got alot of imagination hes good i like his style.wonder what effects the bass uses? pianos crazy effects.

[DonBartholomeo89]

whats wrong with the idea

even if they do they are still kings

[ZachRhea]

They are firm advocate of legalizing marijuana is all I know, but that doesn't mean they use it. I am behind the legalization of pot too and I've never smoked it or done any drug for that matter.

[1337Pwn4g3]

Legalize all that shit!!! God put natural drugs here for a reason lol and that shit cant be taxed in America as its illegal... Dont legalize it because they will tax it, but make the authorities tolerate it (like in Nederlands)

[artisanride]

almost every good musician either smokes weed or is religious. either way theyre high on something. i completely agree with you, weed should be legalized and handed out to people

[ZachRhea]

Wrong and wrong. Ever heard of a guy named Frank Zappa and there are plenty of other players out the that are amazingly good players that don't do drugs. Also, yes, I believe all drugs should be legalized, but handing it out to random people is pretty fucking stupid.

[michaelg74]

Zappa admitted to consuming LSD while the Mothers made Absolutely Free. But he was drug free during his entire career. You'd have to be to write the music he did.

[jazzperc2]

Louis Armstrong was a stoner.  So was Abraham Lincoln.

[ZachRhea]

Smokes weed or is religious? That is retarded. I'm not saying that I am an amazing musician or anything but I can at least say I am "good" and I hate pot and hate religion even more. There is no standard lifestyle that a good or great musician lives. We all live differently and take inspiration from different things in different ways. Don't limit yourself to thinking that you will never create something good unless your high. That's stupid.

[artisanride]

okay well ALMOST EVERY AMAZING MUSICIAN does drugs or has religion, and of course there are exceptions you retard im sure you can find that some small percentege never tried drugs

[ZachRhea]

Still a retarded generalization buddy. Maybe a lot of the musicians you find to be amazing do. Let's say that and agree to disagree.

[artisanride]

I agree good debate

[ZackBellman]

Stupid Debate. Stupid Generalisation. Firstly - Religion is so massive and can barely be applied to people as it varies so much. Unless u mean spiritual coz thats different. Or religious in the sense that they are dedicated to something. And Weed is also massive - used in different ways but just my 2 cents i would say weed is normally used after when listening to the music and stuff. But yeh. Either way one or the other doesnt make good music. The person does!. Peace out bruthers.

[RowanSpry]

it doesnt work as a generalisation but he hasa good enough point behind his argument. A fair amount of "greats" i know have had history of substance abuse or are stupid (i mean religious).

best example...As a bassist, i worshiped Jaco Pastorius for a while. Worlds greatest bass player. He had a history of drugs, alcohol, religion AND psychiatric troubles.

[jazzperc2]

How can you hate pot? Have you tried it?

[00Ivanov]

Does anyone know what the clavinet-like keyboard on top of the Hammond is? Sounds really cool ...

[ZachRhea]

That's a Hohner D6 Clavinet. No telling what he has it running through. Ive never been able to find out exactly how he gets his sounds.

[00Ivanov]

Yea, I reckon he's got a big pile of effects (wah wah of some sort, though I'm curious wether he triggers it with a normal pedal like a cry baby or a Morley pedal, or wether it's an auto-wah effect) I can still smile at the sound he got out of the minimoog in the video, it sound friggin awesome. Wish I had one of those... =)

[RowanSpry]

I saw them in the street once haaha. ANd for a while i thought a guy who worked in the local Boston Tea Party was the bass player haha

[brianthebutterfly]

Been trying to replicate that sound as best as I possibly can on electric guitar... of course you need to play it in the style of a keyboard more than the tone, but it's getting there. Damn you Medeski!

[LordOfTheBoard83]

The bass could have been a little bit louder.

[rickwards]

Sonic 'cid, damnit

[casquad]

what a beautiful intro

[theklassonator]

JAMMY!

[skidog110]

I love the expressions on Chris's face when he starts gettin funky

[mikenicec21]

awesome...going to see mmw tomorrow...medeski looks like the commish here, haha

[Justinsax1]

Yes! John Medeski plays the ugliest keyboard ever...And I mean that in a good way

[hypoxide]

who cares?

[LivinInTheFuture]

i bet it's caffeine hehe

[snakeanthony11]

awtheis, you can make creative music without using drugs ... all it takes is talent

[Oladipo5]

and vision

[illnastic]

@snakeanthony11

I think practice is the word youre a looking for...

[ozzyscapegoat]

smooth

[dookie311]

i've seen these guys like four times live (on shrooms for one of them) and i got the lucky chance to meet them once they are chill guys.

[aZidbLUe]

Me encanta escuchar a estos tíos, pork con lo k me ahorro en tripis se k mi cerebro me lo agradecera dentro de unos años :D Sois la hostia tios.

[Kengouru]

So groovy! Incredible!

[awthies]

[gangzw]

[hipdrummer]

Funky as a mf'er! Pass the dubie over here!

[bula92]

THEY ARE SO COOL! Fucking great, but, they dont look like the pic of Note Bleu album, lol, not even similar xD

[JHH89]

I love this band! Can u please tell me of some funkier white boys than these three?

[Pinthusiast]

Yeah MMW = ill. And the answer to your question: N/A, they don't exist! :)

[hiimbrady]

galactic

[BetterThanU123]

Agreed. But these guys are good.

[Doobopp]

THIS is groove.

[ricardopardini]

Fenomenal.

[godoy42]

Wow! My ADD is under control today, and I just watched the whole thing. It´s impressive.

Gotta love it.

[ColetroniK]

@:]

[kojikid]

thanx for the vid, one of the best i've found. i frickin love these guys.

[weedvapor]

this is wack, what is this dude doing besides trying to embarass himself. Anyone who likes this is deffinently a pretentious idiot

[Ugizone]

he is making his music. so stfu..

[ColetroniK]

Yeah....uh...weedvapor about you get your ADD under control and watch more than the first 30 seconds. Then you might realize your witnessing the most talented avant garde trio, perhaps ever. But then again you are obviously not a musician, so *ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*(t­he sound of jazz music flying over your head). :)

[JammyTom]

Emerson Lake Palmer

[skunkfunk89]
