Bryan Beller, Marco Minnemann, Guthrie Govan - "Erotic Cakes"

[MrNikkorea]

that was just sick!!!

[perrochumbeque]

the best version erotic cakes ever

[dana52484]

are those oak customs?

[Matthewkilb]

@dana52484 I dunno.

[spicecrop]

3:40 nuff said!

[leothedrawer3]

a dethklok, a necrophagist, and a god. BEST VIDEO ON YOUTUBE

[ElliotTheMoose4]

The bass player does a really nice job of covering what would be a rhythym guitar part and the bass part! Overall, excellent :)

[deftcon1]

sick. Sick. SICK.

these guys are stupid-good. ffs. nobody's topping them as far as chops coupled with musical charisma.... KILLING it.

[andrewm9999]

HOLY SHIT THIS FUCKING HAPPENED??

[berserkerfunestus]

@andrewm9999 You haven't heard of the Aristocrats, have you?

[virfive]

Guthrie is a scary fucking man.

[zachjal]

Thank god Marco's not playing with DreamTheater

[Philipperodrigues]

@zachjal man i was thinking exactly the same!

[RaphaelSBS]

@zachjal haha trolled LOL

[spicecrop]

@zachjal Drem who?

[Matthewkilb]

Lol I know I sound like a troll, but I do have a serious point to make. Music should be about entertaining people, and N-Dubz create music that enchants and inspires millions, rather than being lost in their own self-absorbed noodle-fest. N-dubz may not be able to sing/play a million notes a second, over a 12/13 time signature, using ridiculous convoluted extended chords, but they can create simple melodies and chord changes that touch people.

[Guitareben]

@Matthewkilb Music is subjective. What doesn't move you may well move someone else (this moves me). Stfu, stop telling people what music should be, or be about, and move on.

[Guitareben]

@Matthewkilb Troll detected.

[rexasul]

@Matthewkilb 12/13? GTFO.

[Matthewkilb]

@rexasul LTRWPANBS...

[spicecrop]

@Matthewkilb You have a partial point, but "music should be about entertaining people"? Music at its core is about self expression through sound. not just about entertaining people. That is exactly what the music industry wants people to think music is about. It is that kind of bullshit thinking that has people listening to Lady Ga Ga and Justin Beiber. These guys are creating something that is musically complex and expressive, not just to "entertain" people. Hardly "Noodleing".

[Matthewkilb]

@spicecrop People listen to Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber because they like their music. Your claim that people only listen to them because they have been 'brainwashed' into doing so by an evil music industry sounds to me like a excuse for you to feel superior for liking 'real' music such as this. Who are you to decide what does or doesn't constitute 'complexity', or 'expression'. If Lady Gaga's music is 'simple' then why haven't you written a chart topping song yet? You could make a fortune.

[C0raz0n]

that guitar plaYer ist just slammin it!

[slashsdevil]

Did Marco recently switch over to Yamaha?

[justaspectator01]

i was waiting for the robot alien vibe.

[MajkeTiTvoje]

lol marco 1:57 this guy truly has a well working brain

[David15Gomez]

@MajkeTiTvoje its pretty amazing how he keeps the beat so well haha

[gnrcr]

Awesome.

[Redhotlugnut]

Find me a better trio in the world today..... you can't. Simply the best.

[RockLakeBand]

@Redhotlugnut

[Redhotlugnut]

@Matthewkilb Are you meaning the band that does the song Morning Star?

[Redhotlugnut]

@Matthewkilb Lol you crack me up. I'm not gonna take the bait.

[BeamishAndBuchkoFilm]

2:15 - Pete Townshend was an inspiring guitarist, my own personal tribute.

A few seconds later - Now for me to make history.

Good 'ol Guthrie.

[Stevemcsteve]

So this is how Gods spend their free time...........

[nwtrucker38]

Phenomenal playing, a joy to watch. Love the Angus Young reference about 02:20.

This band has Legendary written all over it! Good luck guys.

[Matthewkilb]

@nwtrucker38 How could that in any way be considered an Angus Young reference? It's obviously a Pete Townsend reference. Your license to confer legendary status is henceforth revoked.

[nwtrucker38]

@Matthewkilb You've obviously never seen ACDC then?! And N-Dubz music touching people, your taking the piss!!

[Matthewkilb]

@nwtrucker38 Lol. Yes I was taking the piss. I might have known fusion fans would get all touchy rather than take the joke (calm down, that was just me joking again ok? :P).

Maybe we are referring to different parts of the track. Can you say exactly where this Angus Young reference begins and ends, because around 2:20 all I'm hearing is a very definite Pete Townsend reference.

[Matthewkilb]

@nwtrucker38 Well, I say Pete Townsend but what Guthrie is actually playing is the keyboard intro to Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who. Have a listen.

[Ianuarius85]

GGMMBB, awesome trio!

[mepex]

New Aristocrats album is out!

[camblokland]

Didn't they drop a beat when Marco did his double kick thing? Who cares tho... They all landed in the same place!

[aleifhamdan]

3:27 - sheer incredible explosion of awesome

[spicecrop]

@aleifhamdan I love your comment.

[elshiftos]

@1:45

Marco playing and drum tech-ing at the same time - LOL! ;)

[Yagoeq]

Awesome how this 3 guys play that song!

[oscarsstuff]

I can't wait for the album version :)

[xAngels777]

sick!!!

[TAGJOSIEL]

AEUHaeuAUEHA....massa veio!!!

[brunofelix20]

I think the perfect name to this song would be 'Vulgar Display of Power' (from the Pantera's Album).. I don't know why.. It just fits right.

[TyShredder]

hahaha...from 3 minutes on i couldnt help but smile. they are having so much fun together.

[dchisey]

I love that Marco is digging what Guthrie plays.

[schmittl1]

3:41 lol marco minnemann

[jass820]

September 13th!!! Can't wait!

[TheGJuleS]

ahhhh

[Raddesvermougen]

BONHAM's AVATARRRR

[SteffenMusic1]

I was here for this. so glad i had the balls to talk to guthrie at the namm show and get the info that he was playing there.

[Fiarzen]

GUTHRIE'S RUN AT 3:27

MIND=BLOWN

[Fiarzen]

1:48 marco lol

[jasondesante]

this video put the biggest grin on my face :D :D :D :D :D :D

[rexasul]

the - aristocrats - band . com (remove spaces)

Can't wait any longer!

[schmittl1]

omg this is like the perfect super group of musicians

[fingerboy18]

It's funny. Most drummers have a really tough time with this but Marco looks like he's just laying back and chilling haha! Seth Govan has a much tighter feeling on bass in my opinion.

[Ed1gein]

the drummer is a MONSTER!

[twistswitch]

This album's gonna R..rro..Ccck!

[Kingding6]

I feel like these guys can carry on what Hellborg,Lane and Sipe did in 95/96/97.

[vetmusician]

@Kingding6 thats a little bit of a tall order isnt it.........LOL, Its like saying Harry Connick Jr is Going to take Frank Sinatras place...............LOL

[vetmusician]

@Kingding6 And Bryan beller is no Hellborg, I mean the more i think about it, it was one of the best bass players you could find, with the greatest guitarist that ever lived in my opinion, and a drummer that put it all together and made you say..............."No fuckin way they didnt just do that"

[Kingding6]

@vetmusician ahh yea I know man, it would be thee tallest of orders. I agree with you in that I think Lane was probably the greatest ever and Hellborg one of the greatest. BUT if any trio could come close I think it could be these guys.

[Dnozzle2794]

Best live performance of this song to date!

[josephrajgiri]

my best musicians once at a spot .WOW

[freesites1]

Wonderful Short Clip

[powerbass11]

this is "far out" and "right on" 5 *****...:)

[thegreatcornholio80]

Well add Hiromi Uehara to the line up and you'll get the ultimate rock-fusion supergroup :)

[skleung]

@thegreatcornholio80 totally agree!!!!

[wildwestguitars]

Come check out the band at Wild West Guitars on Saturday June 18th.

Master Class with Guthrie, Suhr guitar and amp clinic, and concert.

Check at for details.

[mad00002]

Whoa. o_O Guthrie with Minnemann - one of the best guitarists with one of the best drummers. Not that the basist was bad, but it's those two that seriously kick and kicked ass.

[alexkhan2000]

This band is going to be intense but there'll also be a lot of musical humor and satire a la Zappa. This band is going to have a little bit of everything stylistically but a cohesive sound of its very own. It's not prog, it's not fusion, it's not jazz... It'll mostly be rock with everything else thrown in and a lot of improvisation and spontaneous musical interplay between these three virtuoso musicians.

[alexkhan2000]

The official name of this band is The Aristocrats (off of the movie about the jokes). They're finishing up the album in a studio in Chicago now. It's going to be amazing.

[panamanian911]

that little The Who interlude made me jizz

[pedromiguelmiranda]

High Level Musicianship!

Brilliant!

Loved it!

[alexkhan2000]

This super trio will record an album in April and is expected to be released in the fall. The band will start regional tours on the US west coast in late-June, a Far East Asia tour in late-July, the US/Canada east coast in early-fall and Europe in early-winter. Prepare to be blown away!

[incubator2k3]

@alexkhan2000 They're in studio already! recording in chicago

[Kingding6]

@alexkhan2000 Canada East Coast? Nova Scotia??!!

[alexkhan2000]

@Kingding6 We're looking to visit Montreal, Toronto and perhaps Quebec in early-October.

[Kingding6]

@alexkhan2000 alas, nobody ever comes further east than Montreal, guess I'll have to be satisfied with the album?

[MindOfPagan]

@alexkhan2000 As if September's cd releases weren't good enough, I think that your news has just topped it all. Ooooooooooohhhhh mmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee gooooooooood.

[milkandsugah]

@alexkhan2000 I was in Florida when both Guthrie Govan and Ohm played here in San Pedro. D:

[SuperChickenuggets]

i was here watching this live. holy shit it was the best night of my life. watching it here on youtube is only 1/10 of how good it sounded live

[AyanRafique]

GUTHRIE GOVAN"S PLAYING WAS 110% CLEAN!!! MY MIND IS BLOWN AND ABSOLUTELY FUCKED!! 0.o 0.e

[Javimarueda]

time to change my pants...

[guthriefan777]

@ 2:16 - The Who - Wont Get Fooled Again ;)

[JJtheironman3093]

@guthriefan777 well now I wont i wont get fooled again =p thanks!

[Nitcho320]

PQP, QUE VIOLÊNCIA!

BOM PRA CARALHO!

[cgDominic]

Totally THE best version of Erotic Cakes. The improvised middle section is better than sex, when guthrie goes to that phrygian sounding mode and the buildup... everything. I jizzed.

The look on marco's face says it all. They're having a blast, such great musicians

[skleung]

Swweeetttt...this vid came up on my weekly search for new "guthrie govan" videos, thanks for the upload!

[Guitareben]

Best version i've seen :O Absolutely amazing!!

[PhilipPorter]

One of the few moments when I allow myself to use a word far too often misused.

Awesome!!!

[ggalexhutchings]

hi, i'm so much better than you, i can put a wingnut back on my cymbal in the middle of the most awseome song ever.

[shreddie7799]

Just doesn't get any better than this. MIND-BLOWING!

[MetalAges]

Freakin awesome!

[dreampetrucci]

this should go viral...

[Dreamfullofzen]

Insane. Pure, total, controlled, insanity. Best version of Erotic Cakes EVER!

[polylyth]

Fucking hell, Guthrie is on fire here.

[ValThomason]

AMAZING!

[conradhultermans]

Awesome!!

[samutaringa]

GOOD

[MUSIC4URDOG]

holy shit, maximum upload win
