[Diesegrl49]

A Very Seductive twist.The Younger generation's are So into the Club mixe's etc.For the Hater's have you actualy even listened to the real Ludwig version?

[saltrid]

sounds like some good passages of Pink Floyd, is excellent!

[mando1515]

[victory1906]

VERY CREATIVE AND VERY INNOVATIVE! - CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF THE PIECE - BUT, I DON'T KNOW IF BEETHOVEN WOULD AGREE :-)

[Mr59coconut]

[19Gui86]

@Mr59coconut

i just got the CD and the version is different but i like it alot too!

[JasonVoorh13s]

Musician is a term to describe one who plays music, "dummy". Just cuz YOU aren't into it...go watch fart lighting videos instead.

[MrJimmyBASS]

I want this to be played at my funeral!

[burningmindsvideos]

Who the hell is badmouthing Marcus Miller?? He's one of the best bass players ever ...

[GnashySpike]

sounds like something youd hear in a porn film.. badass though

[Havellard]

I used to hate jazz with a passion until i heard this...

[tydeezonlyone]

[redhatlook]

[valdi86]

@redhatlook No mystery just practice , practice makes perfect isn´t just a meaningless sentence :)

[afsnmetal]

i wanna strip with this song.

[GorgonDrageil]

Such an interesting direction! I would've never imagined... Jazzy Classical Music? With soul? Amazing.

Best thing since Peanut Butter & Jelly.

[chromatic2star]

GREAT JAZZ VERSION!!!!!!! By one of the best bassists around...MARCUS MILLER...

[papagaio1696]

so corny, listen to this "kind of" Kenny G on bass and then say he's a "MUSICIAN"

[Mightypaul]

@papagaio1696 So you are saying that Marcus Miller, (and Kenny G for that matter) are not musicians? If thats so then who the fuck constitutes a musician?

[bourgeoisbrats]

Beethoven is one "soulful" dude! lol!

[bmanzana13]

oh my god! wow this is some of the coolest shit i have ever seen or heard love it man ! i had never even heard of this guy befor yo. so glad i stumbled on to this video

[ragnaroksama]

haha love the style they arranged this, putting all instruments together, but i think it takes away the natural feeling of the song

[memo2301]

WoW :O Nice video Nice Sound Nice play

[yehgiddaymate]

is this on dvd?

[ernesto56052]

think miller in these tune makes like the master,,,,,

[grayhairandblueeyes]

Hay Marc, Expression bass - Very cool - don't worry if they don't get it - your reaching us out here in the back seats! DOO DOO DO It.

[pablosuarezbajo]

Lo habra imaginado asi..Don Beethoven

[timhyer1]

hate it

[teknstuff1]

It's a bass relaaaaaxx. It's has it's place. It's not a strat or Les paul get it?

[GARMENIA]

I never heard shit like this before playing Beethoven. I'm glad I did hear it tonight.

What a great arrangement of the piece. I love it man...The soul of the the bass and brass and then the power of the lead guitar round out a great song.

Great job...

[rainbowkeys711]

GREAT arrangement & interpretation........Wow.

[XaviOrtega1]

I imagine having sex while listening to this song!

[osiris085]

simplemente me pongo de pie

la kago

maestro el qliao...

[thenamesfrancisco]

hahaha funky ass version beethoven would dig it!

[MrSpartanbass]

FUNKEEEEEEEH!

[TheIntoxicatingEgo]

sounds like Pink Floyd

[PoliteCheese1414]

this makes beethoven sound like a pimp. ohhhh yeah.

[L0STH0RIZ0N]

beethoven is my nigga !!! 

[starish666]

that ... Amazing . incredible how relaxing it is to listen !

[87justinbeiber]

great



[markieinger1]

iz mi speling ok??

[jDrews113]

This is great!

[Gr8testMuzic]

According to me, singing basses and crying rock guitars are simply one of the best! It sounds so good. 5*

[Shadowprofessionalk]

hahaa "This sounds like sex" haha yeah... the feeling is like that, but I don't come listening the song... maybe if you would put this song in the background of a porn movie... hahaha This is disguisting haha let's talk about music again... haha MARCUS! (Clapping) MILLER!!! (Clapping)

[cheaptrades]

sounds like it belongs in the channel guide of basic cable

[ian3025]

+superb base playing,, so damn good,, never even thought it's possible to make a sound like that with a base guitar haha great

[minorthreat141]

I agree with the people saying that Beethoven would have been proud. Lol the concept alone of electrified instruments would probably make someone of that era's mind explode

[TheBigMclargehuge]

Excuse me, this is a discussion forum where we share our opinions. I'm sorry it doesn't always work for you, but that's the way it works. So spare us your tantrums.

[OTSHParisFTW]

Beethoven goes porn! :DD

[fenderkid6]

@OTSHParisFTW yes, because all jazz music is OBVIOUSLY going to be used in porn.

When's the last time you heard Duke Ellington while some slut's arse was being slammed by a 14" black dick?

What's that?  You haven't? Well that's because it didn't happen.

[markieinger1]

@fenderkid6 ?

[Agnostic1breed]

very cool rendition of a classic

[HKapollo]

Would this be considered classic funk???? haha Sweet sweet groove in this song...

[SuperSukme]

Haters gonna hate

[guitari89]

Love the whole thing, would have loved to hear Marcus rock the actual bass part at/around 2:12. It seems to be missing the balls that the original composition had. Not enough to ruin it for me, still unbelievable technically, and musically original. So groovy.

[knoxville255]

I think my little brother was made at that concert xD

[LichBoo]

stupid 240p destroying them! such a good music for that low quality.

[NoizyWun]

marcus is the jimi hendrix of bass....jesus fukin christ this man is nasty...

[nandooobass]

great groove of young Brazilian musicians / watch? v = sTMjT6YsyXk

[MrFlokos]

Beethoven is proud of you my son,i am sure about that!

[mzzzzv]

Ooh they did that, didnt they babe?! Omgawsh, that is is... Can u make it rain with the sex and this song?

[mitche9999]

sorry but i must badmouth this becuase it has ruined the original. :(. but look as you said it depends on your taste.

[giuliaregan]

no i m sorry it didnt work for me

[ichbinbianca]

tears in my eyes.....

[wayde101]

nice, f*** nice

[TheDooDawDay]

Chilling.

[fm300992]

Porn Movie Song

[gopawa35]

jejejeje he raped moonlight sonata

[Mingus1974]

BELLISSIMA!!!! ho i brividi!!!!

[candiman29]

sorry but a classic is ment to be done in a classical sense. lets take bb king and make it a country song and see how much marcus likes it.. looking for the keyboard cat on this one! play me off.

[dreamsofpsilocybin7]

now thats some baby making music hahahahaha

[MrTheBumjack]

this must be what god's farts sound like

Beutiful

[puppo11]

this is the SHIT

[nicolavaleriik6hiq]

The jazz bass have TWO Voices: The Jaco's and the Marcus' tone.........all the remaining is silence......

[TheProdigy7777]

i feel like this should be in some cop movie

[dezziwood555]

Marcus is just great. I wonder who is playing bass for him when he is doing his leads?

[Ovellion]

I'll give that bitches some Beethoven; bitches love Beethoven

[cojago96]

glorious

[mijonja]

Sound of popping the string is little too hard for this melody but it's good!

[TonyMontanaization]

Who needs guitar players?

[2008Flyboy]

modern twist to a classic, I dig it.

[ghauff]

A couple of cones and a cup of mushroom tea

[MrTrivolta]

I think, it would be pleasant to Beethoven.

[royalmaster203]

it's like the instruments are talking to one another-wooow too cool

[Sulivan251]

shit which basta.... dont like this

[MrJuliusWallace]

Mike Stern amazing as usual.

[DigitalMediaEffects]

not quite beetoven but never-the-less its awsome

[sonofbolto]

"Hi, I'm Beethoven...The baby maker!"

[TheDavid2222]

@sonofbolto the funny thing is that Beethoven wrote this FOR A GIRLFRIEND! haha

[sonofbolto]

I'm sure he would have opted for jazz bass as the main instrument had he the option. I can see him now; unleashing an Anchorman-style performance on bass for young Julie.

[bitsequence]

The perfect song for a striptease.

[BSSAaGeNT007]

this vercion makes me feel my poetic side!

[Funkybasspro]

Great



[onebenp]

A funk version of a piano sonata with the melody played by a bass guitar.

[InnoLC985]

where can I find tab for this?



[aria800]

Маркус красава! В свое время его творчество сильно повлияло на меня. Спасибо ему.

[arthatis]

Where could I get an mp3 of this? He's amazing.

[tohsmir]

3rd movement or gtfo! >:[

[ronaldmoelker]

very nice!

[lean123123]

Piano s better!!!!!

[guitarXfreak0]

@lean123123 noooooo music is better!!!!!! don't hate on instruments

[piff235]

I love how the guitar is playing backup for the bass. ;)

[guitarXfreak0]

@piff235 yup but you gotta admit that solo was pretty nice :)

[garila2]

meeeh:( not for my taste:) Good music.. but ...

[tflsangel]

I love Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata the classical way but, this dude has just blown my doors off!!!! I have actually never heard Beethoven played so differently and with such passion. I would love to hear him do all of Beethoven's music. He has mesmerized me.

[JustinJaybrown]

haha 317 people wish they were one of the top 5 basest in the world.

[iwannaberock]

@JustinJaybrown No i don't, i don't even play bass. I just disliked this arrangement and it is my right. In despite of it, I really like markus miller, he is the only bassist who made a "portrait of tracy" cover that i really like. So if you are not an idiot, do not disrespect people not liking the same things as you.

[JustinJaybrown]

@iwannaberock shure thing dumb ass.

[iwannaberock]

@JustinJaybrown and if you are not an idiot, do not insult people you don't know. But it is maybe the only way that allows you to get some attention. I'm sad for you guy

[JustinJaybrown]

@iwannaberock well obviously you are a dumb ass i don't remember directing my first comment at you specifically, you don't know me yet you were still so damn offended you had you say something. Kinda pathetic. I only directed my second comment at you because you were being a dumb ass.

[iwannaberock]

@iwannaberock no, but at all the people who push the dislike button. did not want to make u upset, just try to make u understand that not only "dumb ass" like the same music than u do man.

[333halfofevil]

This man sings a wonderful melody through his guitar.

[TubaDKid]

This sounds like sex.

[tracytracyotracy]

@TubaDKid mm hmm, sho nuff does

[nvus51869]

@TubaDKid Wowo..Nice never heard it done like this b4. ;)

[NBDWEEB]

Moonlight Sanata has always been one of my favorite songs. But tonight for the first time, I not only heard it, I felt it! So moving and heartfelt. The man knows how to translate from classical to jaz. Beethoven would be proud to hear this!

[nataliekertis]

Fantastic' to meditate on it!!and so groovy

[daneisthegreatest]

Never heard of Marcus Miller till this video, dude raped that bass, love his style and how he really "feels" what he's playing. Awesome!

[ronin20scam]

What are you talking about ?

Marcus Miller is a genious, not less !!

[MizuPsi]

Wow. That sax fits perfectly.

[96Bluesboy]

One of the greatest bass player in the world but I think the guitar players tone is little too ''dirty'' for the song :D

/Little Blue

[tsigaro21]

sounds good, i would prefer it will a little bit less drums

[22suprstar22]

Fucking amazing

[unavailbleforu]

marcus miller ftw!!!

[spaceraver33]

ruled

[Nolan3RD3RD3RD]

AWW SHIT YEA!!!

[chdem30]

7:56 looks like it's warm !

[MrTenacious1]

Love it! I think the transiton from a classic in one form into a classic in a new venacular is amazing. All the haters its not like he wasn't true to the song, he just infused it with blues and soul, which is just plain talent. Great interpritaion, feeling the song in his heart and making it his own, thats what good mucsicians do!

[rafaelk303]

O Trabalho do Cara é Muito Bom Inspirador Cara Loco

[irishsetterarchie]

Love Marcus!! Barb in Denver.

[peppersax]

I think Beethoven would be pleased. MM plays it with a lot of emotion (like Beethoven would). Bravo!!! Good Arrangement all around!

[yamahonkawazuki]

i must admit this is interesting. i like it. and im a classical music fan of all sorts. thought i would dislike this. i thought wrong

[overheadz]

Best funk face ever, Marcus Miller

[siva115]

both versions resonate very well with me

[Vizillar2505]

I wonder what the pickup cover does other than being awesome looking

[jlimproj]

@Vizillar2505 I think it's kind of like a keyboard(computer) handrest. when hes doing slow plucking things like this he rests his hand on it.

[stevek1230]

@Vizillar2505 Electric pickups work by the vibrations of the strings breaking a magnetic field thats being created just above the pickup. The cover alters the way in which that takes place by trapping that "reaction". But mostly...its just because it looks cool :D

[SerenityBreathes]

Gotdamn. Now I need a smoke and a bottle of hard liquor. 

[bud19100]

thank you very much! Very relaxing :)

[redhatlook]

cool version

[appistogramma]

nice but no beethoven, dont know if that was the meaning but please this is not beethoven

[TapatioyGringos]

I bet that some of the people who don't like this interpretation love watching their 10 year old at a piano recital stumbling their way through the original. Authenticity does not necessarily imply superiority.

[driussoroberto]

I played and play this song using Piano. But I do appreciate this version. and I'll answer to ALL the people: at our days, Beethoven cannot play this song as at his old times.... because instruments...are changed!!!!! I think that an artist like Beethoven, if still live, will try to sound it with any kind of sinthetizer!!!!

[kauxkaux]

More than a million people love this music and dont care how close it is to the original!

[Kritickos]

moonlight sonata will make a good prono title, with this song playing in the background.

[TheJosh1111111111111]

better than the original.

[abdurrahimk]

I am no musician, but i like what I hear. Beautiful.

[nickbosso]

That's Great

[98pianoplayer98]

Fuck off !that kill my ears !

[samcheese34]

This isn't an 'interpretation'. It's played in the same scale as Moonlight Sonata, and that is actually where the similarity ends. Coincidentally, if you gave me some time, I could probably find a thousand other songs written in the same scale. What a joke. Jazz just ridicules itself sometimes.

[seanneal1983]

Wow. very interesting version. not bad. i like it.

[Harbec]

the guitarist is hilarious @ 8:00 :D

[tribaku1]

@Harbec

the face on him hahahaha

[Rolinger56]

This is such an awsome Version of moonlight sonata i believe that Beethoven would have the dignity to enjoy a redone version of his song such as this! Well done Marcus, Well done :)

[Flatwound1000]

@Rolinger56 I don't think you're in much of a position to say what you think Beethoven would've liked. None of these instruments were around in Beethoven's time.

[Rolinger56]

@Flatwound1000 i don't believe that it's relevant so say if the instruments were there or not. the bass wasn't there during his time. the only difference between any instrument really is were it lies on the harmonic spectrum. they're all doing the same things. however, i AM in a position to state what i think he would have liked, were all entitled to our expression

[fretlessbass26]

@Rolinger56 I absolutely agree.

[JustinJaybrown]

@Flatwound1000 you are an idiot beethoven was a master of music he would have fell in love with todays musicians and they new use of what they have. and not to mention pioneers of their instrument such as he is and such as marcus miller is.

[bevster1]

Gave me goosebumps!

[caesarmoridon]

I love it! Jazz is where great music comes alive and becomes greater! Moonlight Sonata as it is commonly referred is among the greatest musical pieces and part of its greatness is that it is almost an ad lib piece of classical music, it can be played on a variety of instruments and originated on guitar according to some music historians. I am grateful that I was able to hear this unique interpretation.

[MoltenCoreBand]

all this shit from the haters, it's all about the color of the skin.

marcus kicks beethoven' ass with his guitar.

[4et04et0]

вариация на тему... да , вертуозно, нооо.... поганить классику не стоило- исполнение 5+ , затея - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx......ь

[flooddoomerGAMING]

@4et04et0 Stijni Stajna!

[WhiteWolfRayne]

love it

[myklmusic]

Very nice.

To the haters... Even Beethoven played second fiddle to the sounds of Mother Nature.

Get over yourselves.

[Kakhaufan]

Well I would probably not call this 'Moonlight Sonata' but something more lyrical that describes the reinterpretation in a better manner.. such as...

"Variation on a theme of Beethoven" :D

It was a funny listening experience, but I still prefer the conservative approach to interpreting the Sonata Quasi Una Fantasie, the moonlight Sonata.

Thank you nonetheless for sharing.

[redfoxskater]

Everything except that annoying bass guitar was freakin sexy beautiful.

[inthe7thhouse]

@redfoxskater  You must be a guitard?

[redfoxskater]

@inthe7thhouse No, Im a bass...tard. But that bass sounds annoying. :/

[alebohemio]
