Herbie Hancock - Chameleon (live, 2006)

[treyguy09]

@MLBLTopGear ok the JB/RB are old bro and no i listen to Hiromi Uehara, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Dizzy all of which have the element of surprise in there playing. This is so predictable. I know where the chords are going to go which does not excite me very much thats why its boring.

[WovenUnicornSweater]

Oh the drummer is one insane maniac btw, what a guy, such a good pair of lines!!

[yuujfuj]

god damn he sounds so good on the piano

[blaxripper]

addicted to jazz

[turnerwarehouse]

video response:

watch?v=SwtbdO2uZNo

[treyguy09]

boring



[MLBLTopGear]

@treyguy09 You must listen to Rebecca Black and JB then right?

[ragmaniac01]

It's not just music — it's heaven on earth!

[BloodSugarSexMagik10]

My classmate plays this bass line EVERY time we warm up :D

[chickenmarbles1]

nathan east is a beast! and so is fourplay! and OMG vinnie is a fuckin beast too

[quickreflex0]

OMG That amazing base line!

[gretschdrummer22]

I hope to someday come up with such a well known, well felt, well grooved jam like this!

[MrArselik]

Herbie Hancock, the only guy in the world, who can make a Keytar look cool.

[billynunn]

TRADING LICKS WITH HERBIE CAN BE SOME SCARY SHIT....KILLER Y'ALL ~~~~

[wangstar34]

To be truthful I think that it lacks the funkiness that only the tenor sax could bring.

[87marshal]

HERBIE = GENIOOOOOOOOOOO

[manlandmusic]

Woah! That is some seriously awesome funk! The good old Im-IV7 progression still works as well as ti ever did and the simple trick of adding a unison lick really helps define the different sections of the song. And then when he goes WAAAy outside, it almost sounds atonal, but it actually all makes sense. Great stuff!

[luisfeliperey]

hey and the rest of it?

[RobinHood2434]

jazz magus!

[MrEveryman01]

Is it just me or do Herbie Hancock have really really big fat hands?

But the music tast good!

[billynunn]

@MrEveryman01 HA HA ...YEAH,BUT DON'T SLOW HIM DOWN ~~

[62ironman]

[Laykoz70]

BEE BOO BOO BOP

[bonntv]

"Funkiest & Coolest Dog On This Planet " All CTI Records Gang Members "Standard Tune 1973 Lover,s Club Cologne"

[molondas]

I saw Hancock on this tour - he's pushing 70 and he's still the funkiest dog on the planet! He's in seriously good shape too.

[KeithHartranft]

@molondas You can tell he's only been smoking weed, not shoot up heroin like many of those other jazz musicians did

[adrianonimus]

Awesome, that's fusion folks!

[chiken070707]

i was afraid a hairy naked man form the seventies was going to come on stage and make love to a blonde chick from the seventies at the beginning there. we all god lucky

[Diomenesx]

Bless the soul of the bassist that has to play that bass line for 7 minutes straight xD.

[oFLYINGYETIo]

@Diomenesx and keeps perfect time nonetheless.

[wurstpeterwurst]

@Diomenesx but his smile makes clear that he really enjoys it and so do i. he may was stoned and so was i.

[Timmy4pawz]

@Diomenesx What about James Brown's bassist, he would loop a groove for 15 minutes, and you'd think playing the same thing over and over again is easy, I tell you now, it's not!

[WovenUnicornSweater]

@Diomenesx He must now be a homicidal maniac! insane lines!

[dracolich345]

badoom doom doom doom bop bop! badoom doom doom doom doom, bop, BOP!

xforever

[Jackominetrus]

EPIC!

[halabinono]

FOR XMAS I WANT A KEYTAR LIKE DAT ONE

[TNTIV]

So this is who started the keytar!

I shall admire now O_O.......

[binyahshua]

[909mrmojorisin]

vinnie is such a good drummer.

[3Dudelsack3]

[11SCORP1]

He is GETTIN IT! They jammin!

[arv919]

FUCK HES SO GROOVY

[eminemdisstopia]

This tune kicks Frank Zappa in the ass

[anemiate]

Absolutely sextacular.

[bapqapmoc]

Is the bass player the same from Eric Clapton's One More Car One More Rider?

[Felipez1987]

@bapqapmoc is it !

[doublebassheeltoe]

Is that Vinnie Colaiuta? Aww yeah

[BrodKhan]

Probably the only reason extraterrestrials have not wiped us out

[Fishbed]

@BrodKhan

Now THAT is funny! Prob true!



[Absoloutely]

look at those sausage fingers

[Bl0oDb4tH1]

@Absoloutely hahahahah best comment

[tpstrat14]

yeeaaaa

[herbievsop84]

The most greatest genius of our time

[GIOTTOVVE]

Herbie rocks the music.

What a talent :)

[30cecil]

great musician

[Richardbr1000]

Herbie is no joke. I love this brother's groove. He's a great talent on the creative and playing side.

[jpguima4224]

big nathan

[EcLiPzOrZ]

Jeez, look how fat Herbie's hands are! I guarantee that is all muscle from playing for so long. Most athletes can show off their biceps or 6 pack, but I see Herbie's hands and know not to fuck with that guy, whether that's musically or physically. I'll bet u he could knock someone out with a bitch slap. I know if I got bitch slapped by Herbie Hancock I'd probably wake up a few days later and thank him for the sense he knocked into me.

[egyptianminor]

I kinda agree w/ ihatekomeini. I like this version - it grooves and Herbie's soloing is always inspiring - and although I like the guitar sound, i also miss the more organic/warmer analog/vintage '70s tones, but the truth of the matter is this: Nothing beats the original 1973 studio version from 'Headhunters' - THAT is a classic, untouchable piece of genius music.

[MrTrentonimo]

OH GOD HE WEARS HIS KEYTAR

[monkeyy992]

i sooo want to jam with these guys...

[bisciu1967]

vinnie is the #1 drummer around!

[LUZUN333]

YES!!!

[ihatekhomeini]

It's pretty cool, but it sounds so awful compared to when he played it in the 70s, so digital, and that guitar sound (imo) is just awful! Drums are heavy though!

[48rulesall]

How does this have any dislikes!?

[oxygene65]

ah, big Vinnie on drums. it couldnt be more perfect.

[mrFunkyGod]

Praise God for Herbie!!!!!!!!!!

[OprahMemorizedPi]

cool.

[lghtyrs]

That guitar tone is absolutely beautiful!

[BBQwatchman]

the likes... ITS OVER FIVE HUNDRED!

[whoiiz]

@BBQwatchman the views....ITS OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSANDDDD.

[rb204]

I love it...the 8-bit version of chameleon!!!

[mynameaborat993]

This guy fucking sucks.

Why is he on stage??!!!

[hauntedsausage]

@mynameaborat993 if Herbie sucks why dont you go on stage.... oh wait its because your a pathetic asshole who cant appreciate a pure genious so go fuck off please

[Dmully]

@mynameaborat993 ...why are you watching it?

[xsolent]

@mynameaborat993

GTFo bish!

[BBQwatchman]

@mynameaborat993 why are you on facebook?

You fucking suck dick!

[YofterMofter]

@mynameaborat993 To enjoy it.

[yisoonshin12]

holy... vinnie colaiuta? and i meant Lionel from my last question

[yisoonshin12]

what kind of guitar does he have?

[yisoonshin12]

i'm 14 and this is the only type of music i really like (apart from christian music)

[hotgehtab]

Nathan East looks like a child who was finally allowed to play with the cool kids.

[AnnaNeemus]

@hotgehtab lol he does. If I got to be on stage with Herbie, I'd be grinning all night and the rest of the month, haha.

[tomorocko]

@hotgehtab

He's played with the cool kids all his life. He's one of the coolest.

[thetrain1919]

AND I JIZZ IN MY PANTS

LOVE THIS GROOVE!!!!!!

[bisciu1967]

wish i was there.love this

[thomaskaufi]

[YofterMofter]

@thomaskaufi fazioli.com

[thecouchonfire]

[ShaifulAriffin]

[RutboyNiles]

sun rises at 8:40

[BLASCKDUSK]

wow vinnie colaiuta's the best

[alexaaabrain]

Cool! :D

[crockoduckevolved]

Did Herbie have a serious coke problem or is there another explanation for rockit?

[Basiledes]

@crockoduckevolved Herbies always looked like that when he rocks it, I think you do not know what a serious coke problem looks like :P

[SKImtnbFreeride]

when herbie shreds on a keytar, God is jealous.

[rainbowkeys711]

I think this must be one of the best performances of this I've ever seen---

I love when he's trading licks with Lionel Louke--the looks on both their faces is priceless...

And when Herbie sits down at the grand piano..........perfection!

[benekire]

Fazioli !!



[al17co05fa92]

@benekire That was one of my first thoughts, too!

[Spurkplug]

woho that solo was strange :D

[Nils8598]

[JohnofNub]

3 people don't know music

[JohnofNub]

They just don't make musicians like these anymore.

[addyr100]

wow vinnie colaiuta on the drums that guy is awesome he played for jeff beck one time too

[clayrad1]

Oh Yea

[juliangott93]

i mean i listen to hip hop but this is just fucking awesome

DAMN the 3 people who disliked this are just ignorant

and taht says a hihophead :)

Herbie is awesome

[JDB213]

That's some good shit.

[danielabassanimoraes]

It doesn't get more funk-de-fied than this! Viva Herbie!

[555steve55]

Thanks!!!  Fantastic!!

[CabeIsFly]

for some reason it really ticks me off when people say im only 16 and i love this music

[middlyman]

That was just hot. The sound, the performance, I'm 16 years old and i love this music. Respect goes out to those who have gotten to listen to this kind of music all their lives and truly appreciated it. I've played piano for 11 years now and i am dying to learn to sound 'this funky.' Herbie Hancock is a truly talented musician.

[Volcanistry]

@middlyman if you want to learn to sound "funkier" then study more jazz instead of classical, learn to swing, learn to accent the up beats and what chords make up the funkiest sounds.

[craignkzoo]

You have got to love Nathan East on that six string bass!

[milojams]

Tighter than a gnat's ass!

[demlcommish]

The definition of "a groove" ...

[kofireyrock619]

Long live Herbie Hancock!

I am so happy that herbie beat all those other idiots at the Grammys.

Well Done Herbie you deserve it1

[viennastudio1]

excelent...awesome....

[confess5]

wow? better than sex anyone no-yes?

[StopCallingMeSteveo]

@confess5 How about sex DURING this song?

[Fishsticks187]

No offense to herbie, but that solo sounds better on sax, just sayin'

[cerealkiller096]

Three people have no appreciation for amazing music.

[justinariasdrummer]

vinnies fill at 2:06 was amazing

[leonardodra]

que porra é essa.... cara ruim do caralho

[RLHubner]

@leonardodra Voce deve achar isso ruim pq nao conhece esse estilo de musica muito bem.

[1thedrummerman]

Vinnie is killin that groove!

[srdtehnik]

profiul csinálja.

[deutschvfb]

Who's the rest ????

[bjiintx]

VINNIE on the drums.... You just can't NOT groove with him in there! Jeeze, who HASN'T this guy played with???

[DrumsAhead]

Der Flügel setzt allem dann die Krone auf!

[EmanuilPenev]

Can somebody tell what's the name of Herbie's Roland sound?

[Minimoog7]

Holy cow!!! Outstanding!!!

[Kiddowesth]

I was thinkin "hmm. What would be a good comment here? How could I describe this masterpiece? WTF? NO WORDS!!"

I'll come back when I figure something out..

[Krawalldi]

awesome performance

[SuaveTito]

I wish I could make my keytar sound half that great!

[B777LRF]

Awsome

[iburyyoass]

Herbie Hancock is one hell of a musician. Too bad most of his albums were only released in Japan. Buddhism ftw!

[MaybeMingus]

@iburyyoass

What?

[iburyyoass]

@MaybeMingus Most of Herbie Hancock's albums were released in Japan and have yet to be released in the USA. He also is a follower of Buddhism.

[antiemo666777]

oh this is funkin with me

[SpaceMasterMonkey]

I played this on mys last jazz impro masterclass. It was awesome.

As a flutist.

[jasoniusmaximus]

That bass line reminds me of the music from Toe Jam & Earl for Sega Genesis

[Mralexhancock]

what a groove, guy

[radopecek]

Great!!!

[iamnitrox]

@AllBlueSS

Um these guys INVENTED those riffs!

[Heffsta02]

@sdobbs20

so god can keep track of who to send to hell for blasphemy.

[arcenium028]

@sdobbs20 Because someone might not like it I guess ?

[thedreamisme]

@sdobbs20 so that all the people who got peanut butter instead of brains when they was born could vote.

[jewracca]

@sdobbs20 why is there you?

[officialWB]

Herbie Hancock 2010 in Heidelberg

[badbassjd]

I'm pretty sure that's a Yamaha bass, and at times there's a bit of fuzz mixed in with the clean tone. One of the biggest challenges for a bassist is to play an ostinato line like that one several hundred times in a row without screwing up!

[toofpick151]

I can only imagine if he got Dennis Chambers to do this

[Crusada54]

@toofpick151 Chambers has nothing on Colaiuta

[toofpick151]

@Crusada54 Umm youre sadly mistaken. Aint nobody out grooving Dennis Chambers. Colaiuta did a good job, but Dennis' pocket is tucked down in the shoes.

[Canadianvibe]

what bass is east playing in this one?

[GidsyWidsy]

*orgasms*

[AmaneSuganami]

only herbie can make a keytar look cool...

[ihazaburgr]

@AmaneSuganami

And Donald Fagen too.

[MetalHead420100]

@AmaneSuganami and jordan rudess...

[Jhaxias]

@AmaneSuganami ABSOLUTELY! 

[LewiG666]

@AmaneSuganami ever heard of bret domino?

[cerealkiller096]

@AmaneSuganami

Herbie can make ANYTHING look cool
