[nushimarionette]

I fall in love with the hands of the person in the middle!!!! <3 0:10

[ron619]

HOW THE FUCK THIS HAPPEN 1:17 AND HERE 2:13. BELIEVE ME this GUY will BECOME A LEGEND

[darkaller444]

anyone know waths is the things that stefano used at 4:02 ?

[lisarnoldMusic]

just the fact that their names are  "sergio", "stefano" and "pino" make them badass..

and then there's this video.

my lord.

[mobman47]

I wonder if Sergio Altamura likes Kayo Dot :P

[anakonda13]

Anybody have any idea what that is at 3:56, and how to get it? Any answers will be thoroughly thanked. Sounds like a post rock effect, ace!

[rexasul]

@anakonda13

@darkaller444

It's called an EBow, Google it.

[ocnytadea]

Yeah. I am pretty sure. The name of the theme came out by looking Barone s faces…

Ok, just a joke…but seems to be the truth.

Anyway. I am a follower of candyrats records. But really, this is the only ocation that i feel like listening to something transcendent. They have achieved a unique and refined expresion. Amazing trio. Please, please, keep it up.

[judeeredfox]

these are thoroughly PLAYING the guitars .. no limits

[HayesGuitarded]

i used to play guitar with a bow then i took and arrow to the knee

[TheSpirtOfAdventur]

At 1:30 there is a slight moment were the 2 guys look at each other and smile. It shows why humans do what they do. It shows a bond between man that's rare in the world we live in. You know you truly love some one when you can have a whole conversational with something as quick as a smirk of the face.

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@TheSpirtOfAdventur It's what happens when two guys are able to pick up an instrument and get away from all the problems and stress

[TheSpirtOfAdventur]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good ikr man its soo rare now adays for people to do that.

[Lyreat]

It's not a band. It's an orchestra.

[BennyVibes]

when 1:30 hits it's gold, good job boys.

[gavit64]

Man, I thought I was all ahead of things being really into Kaki King, Preston Reed and Michael Manring. Then I went to CandyRat and I was like, oh crap, these guys are everywhere I need to seriously step up my game!

[LowRafael]

orgasm at 4:24!

[drakeluv92]

did anyone else type in "guitar sex" to get here?

[SirG3n3ral]

I understand now why the title is "Funky Sex Republic."

It is sex in music form.

And I wondered why I could not stop listening to this song...

[SirG3n3ral]

I understand why the title is "Funky Sex Republic" Its like making love by using music.

[MickeyMacaroney]

my second favorite kind of threesome

[cjc724x]

@MickeyMacaroney this is my first

[Jackplerd97]

OH MY GOD

[codeP08]

I don't know if I could listen to their CD for long, but to watch them? I could do that for 10 hours straight. It's such an intense audiovisual experience. Plus it's good to see how amazing they are at what they do.

[GarretsShadow]

When stefano takes out the e-bow, imagine if he turns to Sergio and is like "Looking for this? :P" haha

[ponchambrosio]

what is he holding at 4:10?

[Andrew240197]

@ponchambrosio I wanna know that too...

[MrGuitar5203]

@ponchambrosio E-Bow

[trapiatapioca]

That happens when your son wants to play an instrument ... but the only one you can afford is a guitar :D

Ottimo lavoro, ragazzi!

Perchè non scendete in Sicilia, qualche volta?

[machirimachiri]

66ppl cant be going to understand real music.

[creedmjk]

why use an ebow when you can actually use an actual bow??

[RallizesDenudes]

@NovJobzTwoFour Nope.

[rexasul]

@NovJobzTwoFour LOL

who listens to dubstep?

[gokmenyoldas]

son of a bitch :O wtf !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guerreom7]

My god

U know when that guy pulled out the bow something smelled funny...

Then I realized I had crapped my pants

[TRayner704]

Honestly...what else are 3 horny Italian guys to do?

[SirG3n3ral]

Very unorthodox.... I applaud you.

[jonathanguitar27]

wow just amazing i love when people push the envelope with their music

[Logatius]

I love this song but i also love those three guys!

You always see their feelings and the fun they have, especially Pino is groovin so hard!

Makes it much more precious than Sungha in my eyes :P

[StringTheorieMusic]

This is amazing!

[codeP08]

Holy mother of sweet Jesus!

[tonyjavirod]

the 66 dislikes obviously cant play guitar or cello haha

[FireForHighr]

I've seen this song live BEST THING EVER EVER!!!!!!!!!

[chronicweedchibaganj]

awsume jam

[moonshack965]

....azz ma queste non sono + neanche chitarre........ sono IDEE che diventamo musica.........potrebbero suonare anche il fustino del dash e produrre capolavori...!!

[johntextor]

Oh gosh, what a fn' great song. Love that psychedelic part

[LK0405]

this is still awesome.

[angrypro]

I love sergio's style 

[TheReighnart]

Holding it upright like that HAS to help with the scratching and thumb percussion. You could do it tipped to the side, but if given a choice, I would rather play it like he does here simply because the percussion would be more comfortable.

[sohamganguly]

good stuff, but frankly holding the guitar in that position(while not playing the cello part) was nothing but style and though I have not heard a cello on a guitar anywhere before I must give them the credit for doing so even though it wasn't amazing as such... in short a-ok type of composition.

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@sohamganguly not really since Sergio plays most of the percussion...since his percussion involves scratching and slapping the bass strings...that's why he has his sunrise pickup on an angle,to capture the essence of the bass amplified by the dynamics of the body..think about it..whenever you play a guitar vertically you get a different sound to it because the sound HAS changed

[treetall3]

love the riff starting at 1:30!

[vanikejr]

Impressive! Good stuff..

[Artyshenkovadim]

очень хорошая и добрая музыка, вообще пожалуй лучшее трио гитаристов, за всю историю! очень слаженное и гармоничное, по доброму прикольное!!!

[DarnedNut]

this sucks, not my type of music

[TheFunkyCriminal]

@DarnedNut are you the antichrist? just wondering.

[DarnedNut]

@TheFunkyCriminal LOL what the hell??? nope im not the antichrist i just dont like this music.

[TheFunkyCriminal]

@DarnedNut yeah thats what they all say.

[DarnedNut]

@TheFunkyCriminal lol im not antichrist even though i dont care shit for christianality but i still except them in thi world, anyways im just not into this music, i like greenday and the lost prophets and stuff

[TheFunkyCriminal]

@DarnedNut lol im just messin whichuu im agnostic as well :)

[blaksephirot]

anyone know where i could download this album for free :C

[d0ned3al]

raping that replay button,<33

[ShowmetheBlues]

what was that you muted the strings with during the cello part

[mycahman]

My sound keeps turning off. My poor computer cant take this

[Axion3812]

the cello part is omg amazing

[shalommeodedff7]

why it dosn't got 100000000000000 views ??????????

[grididamore]

è uno spettacolo!!! spero di avere presto l' occasione di sentirvi dal vivo! (per caso avete previsto una tappa in puglia??)

continuate così perchè siete davvero grandi!!!

[SysusGreene]

What a fantastic performance!

[yougotstyle]

the bald guy in the middle is  proper camp! ha, great track tho!

[Ensomulvv]

videos like this should be excluded from being thumbs downed....

[mrscullum]

@Ensomulvv Yeah... That's what happens with comments like yours.

[piscesfreak1]

Beautiful

[happydude118118]

Epic.

[altfam56]

A new fan has been born! :^)

[lafittezack]

extremely funky sex right there

[ExtraMude]

Damn, now I need a cigarette.

[pisspot7]

not what i expected when i saw the title lol

[nathanthomas2429]

How in the hell is he getting a bow to work on a guitar? did he alter the bridge and nut? And what kind of strings is he using?

[UltimateNeoHunter]

@nathanthomas2429 I wouldn't be surprised if he was using regular gauge strings. The bridge and nut don't seem to be altered. However, I do see and extra bridge piece under some of the strings.

[NIMRODakaNIMROD]

@UltimateNeoHunter

In fact it's only under ONE String. I tried that once – sounds just fine! Can't play a lot of (clear) notes on that string though, because the extra bridge piece fucks up the intonation and every note above the seventh fret or so sounds sharp and indistinguishable. You have to add a lot of resin to the bow and of course Altamura uses a lot of reverb on his guitar to get that sound.

[UltimateNeoHunter]

@NIMRODakaNIMROD Out of curiosity, have you tried it without the extra bridge piece?

[NIMRODakaNIMROD]

@UltimateNeoHunter

Yeah, of course. But this way you can play only on the outer strings and you risk to mute the string by accidentaly pushing it too much against the fretboard (as the only way of playing this way is using the bow on the neck, as it would be impossible to avoid bowing the other strings otherwise. Although it could be an interesting idea to play in an open tuning using the other strings as drone strings)

[NIMRODakaNIMROD]

@UltimateNeoHunter

PS: It's also quite cool to use a bow on a distorted electric guitar! – Jimmy Page did so quite famously on some Led Zeppelin songs (such as "Dazed And Confused") and the Icelandic alternative rock band "Sigur Rós" is somewhat famous for their use of bowed electric guitar, mainly on their earlier songs (such as "Svefn-g-englar") – Neither Page nor the singer/guitarist of Sigur Ròs Jón Þór Birgisson use an extra bridge piece, though.

[ThyPoetSkit]

Holy fuck, I've been doing it wrong this entire time!

[obeseamerican]

i came

[Lalaldd]

This by far the best i've heard

[broekieking1]

As soon as Pino Forastiere started playing, the video started lagging. This music is just too awesome for youtube.

[jopk2705]

I love 1:28 when they just look at each other a smile. Its great when you see musicians enjoying what they do. That's what music is about.

[loranalary]

@jopk2705 yesss! :)

[rockdog123]

these guys can get laid evryday

[MrEmeryt56]

the guitar can produce such beautiful sounds and tht was beautiful

[OJunioRafael]

muito bão!

[WelcomeToZomboCom]

the bald guy looks a lot like sous-chef Scott from hell's kitchen

[Flappy2287]

Am I the only one that started clapping at the end? I'm sitting in my room just clapping away....like a lune.

[wasid13]

@Flappy2287 yes. the rest of us hurried to find the next piece they played

[Flappy2287]

@wasid13 Well after I realized there would be no encore, haha, I clicked fore one.

[Trcls]

Sergio Altamura should buy a GuitarViol!!

[Fatman845]

1:46 His guitar has an itch! These guys are using some very unique harmonies and melodies. They're really thinking outside of the box, which is what all musicians need to do in one way or another.

[Xiocus]

Original, unique, harmonious... Great piece of art!

[CaponeFavilla1]

i think it is super fantastic, futuristic.. in all parts, I heard an fantastic simphony and harmony. each of them show their own playing, it's a mix of styles...

it's definetively one of my favorite songs, from now on. I think I'm going to keep listening to this for a long time...

I hope this becomes an futuristic, style soon. perhaps, a musical revolution.

[vyrmin]

OMFG... Holy Fucking Shit...! I just Jizzed in my pants!  OUT OF THE F-ing PARK

[theswansanater]

the parts dont sound retarded, all these guys are just viben , amazing guys truly i play crazy awesome shit like this on my acoustic

[Allvaronunes]

Muito interessante. Parabéns.

[hanklemieux123]

haha there's parts in this song that sound just plain retarded but the parts that sound cool definitely make up for it

[tofuronfukeefu]

What was he using at 3:56 - 4:20 ?

[soadbuckethendrix]

@tofuronfukeefu The device he is using is called an e-bow, it emits electromagnetic waves to make the string vibrate like a bow on a cello or violin, they're roughly 70-100 dollars.

[soadbuckethendrix]

It's really an interesting performance, their personality while playing matches the sound that they produce, even their posture is a vision of each one's sound.

[lilyvoon10]

IT'S SO FUNKY I'M GONNA DIEEEEE!!!!!!

[aydallak]

wish that bieber could watch this

[Hoslehk1337]

This is quite good.

[linuxjl]

holy friggen' hell... this is the most incredible thing I've ever heard!!! I wish I could play as good as these guys do... still, I can at least admire their talent.

[sunaJH]

I dig  it:)

sunaj

[JHJH007]

I bet every1 is like wtf at the cello bow part! lol

[rubytuesday2626]

@JHJH007 REAL-BOW

[CStanza420]

@JHJH007 The "cello" part was insane!!! One of the best parts of the jam! And when Stefano Barone breaks out the E-Bow...amazing!!!!!

[Trcls]

and to think they are just using martins yet they make them sound so good. i guess one doesn't need a greenfield to sound great.

[ANMAR2003]

استريح

[Distykids]

Mind= Blown.

[raulcheva]

"questi romani sono pazzi, asterix!"

[twltch]

How are they getting those low notes? Is that a detune effect or can they really tune their guitars that low and still get resonance? 

[MsReignman]

@twltch chk out "solfeggio" tuning a guy named huckabay. the tuning is natural tuning very interesting if yer into that kinda thing. actually id unno if these guys use that acvtual tuning but sounds close to it... same idea anyway

[whouston33wh]

@jimmypaged259

It's also copying Jimmy Page if you play the guitar. It's not really copying unless he uses it for the same style and this is really not Jimmy Page's kind of style.

[69lerxt]

WTF WAS THAT?????????????? I'M STILL TRYING TO PROCESS IT ALL!! WHEW

[matthewboxx]

This is so sick! Amazing stuff guys. The Candy Rat guys deliver yet again!

[BasquieDollin]

@jimmypaged259 if you see all the videos of sergio altamura you'll see he's not a copycat, he as an amazing knowledge of music, he just trys to be different, non convencional. And he experiments a lot with his guitar and with all the effect pedals and that electronic stuff. he's a true musician!

[SoldatSolutrea]

I wonder if all of these people will have such a gross and facetious fascination with sex when they are all 70 years old. But hey, good song, right?

[iVanHalen666]

Wow ^^' man this should be illegal. Unbelieveble.

[MistakesAreMade]

5:16 woody woodpecker for life !

[noobiesz707]

[darkflamerpunkboy]

Could anyone tell me how that guy has arched his strings to use the bow? I so wanna try. Ta

[andresut01]

I still find myself unable to understand or explain the feelings that this kind of songs makes me feel, is a felling that I know far too well, but it is still a mystery how tell other how does it feel,

[micheloderso]

Schade dass es nur 4-5 Songs von den Leuten gibt (außer den Soloprojekten).
