Justin Timberlake / Prince Live Band Performing With NI Pt 2

[classsclownnn]

COLD DUCK

[hershism]

dayum

[1dethklok]

Now see, this is how slap bass should be played. It's not about the "oh hey look what I can do" mentality at the cost of groove; it's about being a fucking boss.

[1993BigNasty]

Brubaker BASS!!!!

[tetsusixx]

that is some intense shit right there

[DuranDuran31]

Can you say soul to the bone,,, i can .,.. with tis video

[arcuz92]

This would've been waaaaaaaay more interesting with direct audio from the board...

[svandamme76]

Blackwell would still rip even if all he had was a bucket and 2 sticks.

[MachinimaBrothers]

Some great bass playing, I sense some wooten influences

[Quest4Redemption]

why does the title mention Prince? the only person on that stage that is apart of NPG is Blackwell.

[renatoufo]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonasmusic]

what a bunch of terrible wanking! sounds like crap and swings like a bag og potatos... is this supposed to be music?

[anahowana]

@jonasmusic you are a cute troll )))

[Rufus804]

@jonasmusic wow...

[Manic205]

Get rid of that awful electronic kit! It sounds so Artificial!!

[Ramonafloyd]

The drummer is very good just the electronic kit sucked

[drumdrumdrumfun]

Electronic kits are for electronic music.

[cbabyskyc]

The Drummer awesome

[eckir]

electronic kits are crap. who's with me?

[yerfy]

John Blackwell plays with Prince, but I don't think anyone else on this stage is part of his band.

[chuckstadbass]

Kevin is just too funky...some players rely on technique but this dude just sweats funk.

[comcfi]

DAT SAUNDET LITE SHEET MANE

[125drummie]

This kit sounds like shit.

[frimports]

The kick on the edrum is sounds like crap.

[BigSima6]

i think the drummer broke the drumkit. lol

[abbotsford85]

finally, some black guys that arent committing crime!! ;-)

[performanceavtivated]

@abbotsford85 It is my honest opinion to call you an a**hole. Please fill in the rest if you are educated. Thank you an please have nice day.

[seifukusha]

@abbotsford85 uncool, man.

[twainfunk57]

@abbotsford85 they play music so your groupie mom can work on her head game

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

prince musicians are mostly great but timberlake is simply shit

[superque87]

This guy is good, but if you want a standard for bassists, Google Stanley Clarke. He was doing all this 25 years ago, and is probably who Kevin Walker studied growing up.

*drops mike, walks off stage*

[hung0sowell]

@superque87 kevin is a good friend of mine and he's one of the baddest bass players in the country!! Marcus Miller was a big influence, but he is a all around great player from jazz,funk,rock etc...he also was one of the members of the band The Fonky Bald Heads,who toured with Prince also,he's a baddddddd mannnnnn

[superque87]

@hung0sowell Taking nothing away from your guy, but understand, Stanley Clarke's been around since the early 70's and is STILL hell on wheels. His band won the 2011 Grammy for contemporary jazz album. One of his early albums, School Days, is widely regarded as one of THE most important bass albums EVER. He goes from classical to funk, & doesn't just play bass, he's transformed it. Watch Stanley Clarke Wild Dog NSJ 2004. If you just want to see fireworks, go from 1:55 - 2:55.

[krosens]

Why are there four strings on a bass?

Three are spares. Happy Christmas to everyone who are bassist! <;^D

[krosens]

What a drummer!!!!

[foxybrown2]

John is not a bass player anyway what are you talking about John blackwell is the drummer LOL

[lennykarl100]

entwhistle, best bassist ever!!!

[4strings4me]

@lennykarl100

He maybe your best ever but John's name wouldn't enter the conversation of greatest bassist of all time. He is very talented though

[afterthefox7]

@lennykarl100 WHAT!!!!!!!!!

[bugsbass44]

My old high school band mate Kevin Walker of the JT band on bass!!

[ultramegadudesupper]

think ....... the drummer should been paid 'tripple this time' for using that "light kit!"

damn i felt his anger! : (

[evelskunny]

technology is crazy,but real amps will never go out of style

[kishalovelee]

not crazy about the drum solo but everything else was great. loved it.

[gregmorrow]

@kishalovelee try Ringo Starr instead...

[afeschyn]

Badasses.

[jojesaro]

muygood!

[fodera14]

is that a roscoe bass?

[ukijhu97]

man justin timberlake steals so much of princes stage performance its just lame

[clevawoman]

@ukijhu97 I agree.

[junrhee]

blackwell is RAW~

[LAMERFENER]

[cumbialeal]

highlight material seems to be american..

[oleisss]

[highlightmaterial]

[michelesettimo]

[TheRealDj2quick]

[Carehuea]

@highlightmaterial

Why?!

[badil61]

aga zenciyse koy sepete onlar varken bizim bu işlerle uğraşmamız zaman kaybı:)

[kasthebass]

lol the guitarist doesnt get a chance to solo:P

[mu51cman3]

@kasthebass He does on the first part of this.

[rjny23jh]

jesus what a killer band.

[timbojones23]

What does that actually mean?

[d00bied00]

Their chops blow me away! Killer bass! That shit swings, son!

[eyesawit2]

That was some "Dennis" that John was Playing there!!!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! JB is a KING!!!

[brixbrix]

can someone please give theses guys real amplifiers and a drum set

[TheChemicalBassist]

@brixbrix RIGHT!!! I swear I thought he was gonna break that drum set...lol They sounded great though.

[RemiXXKid]

bassist is just ok.. seen some better people on the tube

[RemiXXKid]

I know.. but don't feel it..

[basketballemorej]

ur an idiot................smh

[RemiXXKid]

Thanks..

[hung0sowell]

lol ur crazy kevin walker is one of the hottest bass players in the country!!! you better check his stats man before running your mouth

[RemiXXKid]

Ok.. You know your stuff.. He is one of the best bassists I have seen.. WOW..

[mblalock1]

Watching Blackwell on an electric drum set is sad... It's like seeing Tiger play with a Fisher-Price golf set. I mean no one else could do it better, but plastic ain't the same people...lol

[d00bied00]

that swings!

[christopherpurple1]

O-K!

[RA1J1N89]

I swear this sounded like "Blue Matter" but... on some sorta crack... and moreover, some of this guy's chops have Chambers written all up and down em!

[scrapingteeth]

Hard to be a modern funk-fusion player w/o a little Dennis creeping in. But it was a cat in Atlanta--Marcus Williams--who Blackwell got his "master-class" stuff from.

[kiodath]

Wow that's a great setup for silent rehearsals with a band... but building a room from scratch is probably cheaper :-)

[weckled]

im wet

[baergal]

hahahaha

[SubOctavian]

check out Mike Scott at 4:05 - the most blazing 18 seconds i ever heard!!

[Marvin24241]

damn that kit does him no justice, but still he killed it!!!

[bobbybabybop]

relax gospelplayer..dun get easily annoyed..take it easy. blackwell himself is just an easy going person. you should be too!!

[allmuta]

blackwell doesnt fit in that electronic kit :(

[bassetla]

@allmuta

Because el. drums is BIG BIG SHIT!!! You can put over natural instruments FX like chorus, distortion or amp simulators but you can't do imitation of real instruments (like el. drums, el. violins etc.) sounds and technical is not for prepering in this century ;)

[teemingup]

@allmuta LOL!!!

[dankgeetar]

oh my god... blackwell is an alien!

[FaisalAbarkan]

wtf happens at 3:04 min ?:S

John Blackwells speed is to quick for the human eye! insane! hahah one of the greatest session bands ever!

[soulmojo7]

I went mad there.

[Pharaos990]

FUNKY SOUL!!!

[Loakum]

Oh Good Googa Booga!

[nojyeloot]

Freakin amazing.  Wish I had soul lolz

[tubevivanco]

Eyy!! where is Justin Timberlake ?? mnah... who cares JAJA

[FaisalAbarkan]

his whole future/sex loveshow tour would be absolutely nothing without these guys. I think justin's great but this band made the music.

so respect!

[Theogibsonfreak]

Zomaar kom ik Faisal tegen op YouTube. Goeie smaak man..

[jkj10]

Loakam,you've got some good points there..I love Prince,but all that crap about his image-rights and such (you're a public person man,go do something else if you don't like it anymore!),changin' his lyrics and the way he acts today?..He ain't my cup o' tea no longer,though I never imagined me saying something like that about one of my fav artists ever..Prince was cool in the 80's,a lil in the 90's maybe,but man,the man is lame these days..(on record,that is)

[eskimoposh]

i can vouch for that.

[gartenarbeitistkrieg]

these guys are awesome. espacially john blackwell

[project0x6]

omfg... õ,O doublebass?

[QAdrummer11]

hahaha nope

[sledgemcpeak]

timberlake is a prince rip off imo

[abelizable]

damn that dude killed it with the bass

[musikal81]

vocals are completely different between the 2 artist.

[geebizzle38]

That electronic drum kit sounds awful. Drummer would sound really nice on a real kit

[itsadeepburn]

its hard for any edrums to sound good when you can actually hear the impact of the stick on the pad.

[Loakum]

I really don't know why JT has basically Prince's, because JT isn't that kind of live performer that Prince is. I love Justin Timberlake's albums, but he is crap live. Prince is just the reverse..his latest albums are.."meh", but his live performances are Spectacular!

[psk8er]

justin timberlake crap live??? are you serous?? have you seen the futuresex loveshow???

[Loakum]

Actually yes. I went to the FutureSexLove Tour, when it hit the palace of Arburn Hills. It pales in comparison to Prince's Musicology Tour. For that matter, Prince's "1999 tour" absolutely blows it out of the water! Just stating my humble opinion. For the record, Justin Timberlake is the ONLY artist, that I respect and admire, musically now-a-days.

[psk8er]

ya but hes not "crap" live..he does put on a good performance..he makes everybody a part of the show..well the last part of your comment i agree :)..only one with a sense of humor

[Loakum]

I agree, Justin Timberlake is a very down to earth person. A upcoming singer on youtube did a version of his song, "What Comes Around Goes Around", I think her name is Indree..or something like that, well, anyway, he liked her singing so much, he flew her to his recording studio, and sung a duet with her. Prince on the otherhand, is a arrogant asshole, becuase he would have had his lawyers threatening her account, and have youtube mute, or pull the video down.

[psk8er]

seriously..you can't find one video with prince in it anywhere on youtube..and her names esmee..i don't think he made a good decision by choosing her..there are plenty of youtube artists covering his songs better than her but oh well

[CHEEKBEATAH]

If you DON'T know the man, youse should keep the he's an "asshole" comment to yourself, after-all, I mean you DON'T know him personally so wtf!

[Loakum]

I don't know Bill O'Reilly and I call him a asshole too! It's my opinion, so I will call who-ever,what-ever,how-ever, and as often as I damn well please. (Prince is a pint sized asshole.)

[jmr2master]

Electric are great for this, a practice session where you don't need everything to be loud, the major draw back of electric drums is you have to sit there and do a lot of sound editing to get them right, and then if your sound engineer doesn't like that hes gonna tell you to change it.

[mysocalledchaos]

yeah electric drums are really only good for maybe studio recording (not professional) to minimize leakage and for places that u cant have loud drums like our church.

[tkretts]

It'd be nice to see Justin Timberlake come up with his own thing. His first album was an attempt to be Michael Jackson and his second was an attempt to be Prince even getting Prince's band mates to tour with him. IE: John Blackwell and Mike Scott (NPG) and Kevin Walker (Fonky Baldheads) The band rocks, but JT get original.

[JFX01]

What an amazing drummer John is; for my part he's playing on pots and pans...it's always amazing!

[eugenerivera87]

john is one of my main influence hes really showed me the rope

[hung0sowell]

kevin walker the bass playes is the shyt,long time friend of mine from bmore

[rogermoore27]

for real! That is one of the wickedest expressions I ever saw.

[MakeItFunkyProds]

Those drums sound horrible to me. John is a great player, but those electronic drums are not capturing the correct vibe at all.

[KosoProduktion]

they are the best an JT knew he is work with!!

[ihsuperpowers]

haha, the drum triggers cant keep up... i feel so sorry for blackwell to have to play on that kit...

[condemnedtolove]

I think I'm in love with these guys, I want them for my band!!!

[FlowJazz]

Same thing yo ! Want those 4 guys and I'm ready to get on the road across the world right now !

[wth1980]

John Blackwell is the man!

[drakefijicp]

hey! did you notice there was a drummer in there too? tough crowd...

[guitarrodan104]

Woah, that bassist is shit-hot at what he does!!!!!!!

[zcl812]

I agree, the bass, is soooo good.
