Godsmack Bass and Drum solo

[lukryboria]

i can't believe that!! amazing!!!! so strong!!! very cool!! very cool,very cool,very very very very cool!!

[SpykeZ0129]

I personally hate Godsmack, they just don't have that same charm they had in their self talented album, but holy shit I didn't know their bassist was this talented, why don't they show more of this in their music!

[Kalebmclovin]

[Musicman26139]

Left handed. Pretty cool

[britishrocketeer]

[xXlHalolXlHublXx]

[alcheraprof]

[meinsla1999]

Still one of the best live shows to see!

[weightlifter14nerd]

way better than my solo

[weightlifter14nerd]

way better than my solo

[MrCherrycoke75]

I went to the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest in Indy this year, got dared to have Sully sign my forehead, he did, then him and Shannon both signed my pass, what a couple of kick ass guys

[ThePresidentKramer]

It's like a Seinfeld transition on crack

[mconant1]

it just started to sound more and more like tarzan to me

[dededewo]

cool

[Widge4life]

Intro to Seinfied on crack. 

[James30Patrick]

awesom great sounds !!!!!

[bemdav]

My favorite drum and bass song :D

[ConnorLordBassist]

You know, I am not really a huge god smack fan but this is pretty alright. I am not a god smack fan but I am a bass player. He is pretty decent.

[hedbanga]

audio quality isn't that great...amazing stuff but it isn't sounding that great

[Lobitodeldesierto]

Amazin performance!.....

[MrCAmErAmEn66]

bravo



[SpiritualHealing1349]

anything bad i ever thought about them has been dispelled from my mind forever..

[TXTeenTV]

this made me want to quit guitar and star bass

[shadhunter]

This is Fucking awesome 

[allencoates2]

Allen Coates/Broken Man.Youtube, my first video, check it out! Its pretty cool! Godsmack is one of the best Hard Rock bands to come out in years, I hope they stay Kicking it! Thanks!

[Bumgetear]

2:00

[ragebassist]

And this dude is left handed

:o !!

[Skreckonator]

23 people were trying to get there but didnt get tickets? Otherwise I dont see a point to dislike this, only a rage of not being there

[Protoman242011]

@5:35 r they doing the battleship theme from Mario 3?! if so, awesome! and that game makes me mad. i STILL have yet to beat it after prolly 17 yrs of trying!

[Blank00024]

Who was the guy sitting in the back on guitar? He was behind Robbie.

[LuckySevenSins]

@Blank00024 Believe he was going to be the Original Guitarist for Godsmack, till family issues came up, or he found out he had a kid after 6 years. Something along the lines of that. But I could be wrong lol.

[OnionAuditore95]

May i know what kind of genre this style of music is?

[515tuber]

@OnionAuditore95 Godsmack is a hard rock/heavy metal band that, in this case, is performing acoustically.

[55dwolfe]

@ulyssessamson there's no effect added. that's just straight up bass. he just adjusted his tone. by slapping, plucking and strumming, he gets that sound. it's fucking hard to play that clean with the style he's using

[guidonietmann]

never will understand how can someone thumb down this... so amazing!

[RapAndChopin]

-_-  then 0____0

[funkman1985]

This should be a soundtrack for a movie!

[TheDonOrange]

@funkman1985 what about a Godsmack movie?

[TheDonOrange]

@funkman1985 what about a Godsmack movie?

[TheDonOrange]

22 people play the cello.

[ulyssessamson]

what effect is the bassist using?

[callmethepunisher01]

@ulyssessamson the epic effect

[RockTheOcean4me]

True craftsmanship, just cannot stop listening.

[Rawbex]

This is like epic boss battle music.

[DishyAirplane]

ok....i am also into slap bass.....

but that was just too AMAZOING and SICK !!

and 20 ppl who warched this are really stupid !!

[celticwarrior8181]

20 people that watched this are idiots...

[DeusUniversa10]

(me) <---- honest for a moment: I do not listen to Godsmack, BUT after watching this video, I now have tremendous and deep respect for the band. WOW.

[hoopscenter92]

To everyone with negative comments, just shut up

[chrisandmetallica]

you know honestly before i saw this video i dint relaize that godsmack was so musicly inclined i thought all they did was be emo and play guitar but they accutly have talent

[dorthyandtoto72]

yo drummer your crying like a bitch!! cause you cant play

[drummerdo0od]

That's a decent bass solo but the drum solo is something that a ten year old could play. Not really that surprising that Godsmack does talentless solos.

[TheRSfan3]

@drummerdo0od Why do people like you put bands down like that? Godsmack is such a talented band. Sully (the singer) can play almost every instrument. Shannon Larkin (the drummer) is counted in the top 50 drummers of all time and Robbie and Tony are amazing at what they do. Give them credit. Look up the actual version of this drum solo/battle. You'll think differently. Don't say anything about the band if you don't know anything about the band.

[bemdav]

@TheRSfan3 What do you mean actual version of this drum solo/battle? I need it!

[TheRSfan3]

@bemdav the non-acoustic version. the original. Just type in godsmack drum battle.

[RockTheOcean4me]

Not so familiar with the band yet but dang, they are good !

Fav and +1.

[toomitzathezmarkaz]

i can play all this, but it would take me about 4 lives to practice and another 2 to actually do it :D

[TheAzathor]

did they also make a studio version ? :D

[funnyfilmsman]

I bet he looked up to John Entwistle

[Beast6Of6Bass6]

I had no idea...

[mafiaslicka]

if only he could have made the Seinfeld music

[minotoro91]

and chuck norris went to bathroom too when he saw this

[metaLLLo231]

@SkyEye316 And then Chuck Norris answered him, They are GOD-LIKE!

[SlaughterHouse123pww]

awesome just awesome

[CrippledPerfection]

This is Str8 UP Sicky Shit!

[steviegeorgegerrard0]

Amazing...

[TheEpicBurp]

it would be nice tho, to see a DIFFERENT drum battle song

[TheEpicBurp]

19 people need to get godsmacked!

[TheEpicBurp]

you see? this band is underrated.

[MegaWolf120]

WOW 8|]

[NaziNoob69]

0:00 <---replay button 

[NOXXERZ]

@NaziNoob69 we already have one why even comment ahaha?

[Deathbolt911]

correction batalla de los tambores

[tJustSoup]

I bet Les Claypool is lookin at this like.... challenge accepted

[budwiesner1234]

who would have thought drop d would sound so cool when slapping? amazing.

[michromeo]

Don't mine those dislikers they just know great stuff like this

[sockdrawerfilms]

Now I hate when people make comments on the dislikes just as much as the next guy, but this has 19.... I dont get it.

[Ravendar999]

Wtb tabs for the intro :(

[SmokinTheReefer42088]

I like this :D

[JAREDTHECOOL1]

[mYDaY1993]

@JAREDTHECOOL1  Korn - Got the life

[xSJNxJewBoy]

@JAREDTHECOOL1

Its Serenity

[space78511]

@JAREDTHECOOL1 the whole thing is called batallisa something like that

[SpaceAce2593]

@space78511 its "batilla los timbales", spanish for "battle of drums"

[kuhhuh]

nice

[DMCorDOTA]

its GODSMACK TRIBE..

[AzraeltheRightous]

why the fuck they don't use this????

[bmf912]

that is one funky ass bass groove

[1323Ruben1323]

@Protoman242011: i think you misunderstood me saying cause he sucks-_-

The person I said to, said "I like the way there groves and beats, instead of crazy speed shit" and that's why I said what I said cause Joey is "crazy speed shit" like he just thinks cause he plays fast then it's good. Yea speed alright, but not if that's all you do ALL the time.

[lygersarereal]

/watch?v=g3fa_EIIgPE&feature=m­fu_in_order&list=UL

[Protoman242011]

5:53 sounds like the airship theme from Mario 3! lol.

[lygersarereal]

/watch?v=g3fa_EIIgPE&feature=r­elmfu

[Riuson45]

Now thats what we call communucating with music :D

[dieallshegrip]

IMBA SIR!

[fishooke]

it's always funny when metal guys try to do slap/funk stuff. It never really works out too well.

[MrVictorFritz]

@fishooke Just because he's playing slap doesn't necessarily mean he's trying to play funk. Fieldy from KoRn plays slap all the time and that's not funkish. Many different styles can be played with the slap technique. (FYI I'm not even a fan of Godsmack so I'm not really trying to defend them, I'm just saying.)

[arasgeme]

@fishooke this bass line is not even funk, at the begining of his solo his playing just root and 7th the he goes over to fifths try that in ur bass if you have one and tell me if it sounds funky at all plus, this not metal!

[ElGbayRGX]

This is just...........AAAAMMAAAAAZZII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNGG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sol0425]

This is real MUSIC!!! THIS IS F*CKING AMAZING!!!!

[zephyra90]

Awesome!!!! Shannon is a fucking beast!!!

[pr000n000bie]

this is the song "serenity" ;D

[AweAttack]

Hmm. This video actually makes me wish I liked Godsmack more.

[Theforeshadow]

Is it me or does this sound like something from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within?

[nixgr94]

@Theforeshadow I stand alone is theirs.... on the credits of Pop WW

Freakin awesome game btw

[bovineuniversity1290]

dosent matter whether its hard rock or jazz.fusion. this is what real musos can do

[urbanmovement2011]

song name?

[VINDAWG96]

serenity

[RightHookJoker]

MOTHERFUCKER!!! I love Godsmack.

[AlexKalicinski]

I had no idea he used that technique.

[xxFallingxShadowxx]

Sounds like Mortal Kombat 2 & 3 background music. lol

[wyeskkit]

@@ltuomela : I do not believe in you because you are not God. Polytheists believe with you.

Zur Hölle mit dir!

[wyeskkit]

@TheAdz777 : I agree with you. bassist here it does not show his skill. he is a great bassist. only in this video he's showing the bass solo that is very ordinary. drums & percussion is more prominent and make this musical spectacular.

[PanterA2315]

@wyeskkit dude, try doing this with the most important finger in playing the bass and showing people how you feel... the middle

[wyeskkit]

@ltuomela : hahahahaha ... I know my opinion it would invite controversy. indeed the music was riveting. but not with the solo bass. bass solo is very ordinary. which makes it extremely fascinating is the percussion & drums. you challenge me? okay. no problem. how? so I can shut you up the smell, rotten, very despicable it is and I can spit in your face.

[TheAdz777]

It's a damn shame the bassist doesn't play this epically in their songs

[TheAdz777]

It's a dmn shame the bassist doesn't show his skills off properly in their music.

[Blank00024]

The only part i can't play is 0:00 to 6:59

[brucpt641]

@Blank00024 Same here.

[ThanosOpeth]

@Blank00024 now i know it's not me finding dificulties at the same part... :-P

[TheEpicBurp]

@Blank00024 i can play 0:00-0:03. i got you beat. and i can play 0:07-0:19 and 0:12-:0:15. lmao

[anthony21266]

@Blank00024 stfu

[Blank00024]

@anthony21266 Yes ma'am.

[celticwarrior8181]

@Blank00024 You may very well be able to play this... but if that's the case, why aren't you the one on here doing it?

[PrognosisAwesome]

@celticwarrior8181 You should probably reread what he said.

[BoltSpeedman11]

@Blank00024 lol nice

[Protoman242011]

@Blank00024 i hear ya and i play bass! im not able to do slap style though... REALLY wish i did!!!

[wyeskkit]

@wargog128 : hahahahahaha ... you say I am not a bassist? you are wrong, dude !

I am a professional bassist, I am also a bass instructor and I often become jurors in the competition bass. solo bass like this is very easy for me.

[marder10162]

@wyeskkit yes, and jesus wasn't just a stoner

[ltuomela]

@wyeskkit who fuckin cares? not me or prolly any one watching this..lol..if you are all that upload some shit and lets see if not shut up..im a guitarist and a bass player..ill drowned yo..dot believe me?...LOL.i can prove it..how bout you?..if not shut up and listen to this cool shit ya troll...

[wyeskkit]

@ShadowSora : Hi ... Please watch your words! What is your bassist? If you say very great bass solo means you are a beginner bassist, bassist who does not have high skill and bassist stupid. I am a bassist. The solo bass is on show here is very ordinary. Please use your eyes and ears, damn stupid fuckin' ass hole.

[sweetsmurfmkkv]

They're perfect,aren't they?!?!?!

[Ravendar999]

Can anyone give me the tabs for the intro lol?:D

[SendItPacking]

15 people don't have arms......

[wyeskkit]

bass solo nothing special. very ordinary. I think this is more action between the drum and percussion duet. bass solo just as extras only.

[wargog128]

@wyeskkit just because you're not bassist and you cant head 90% of solo :)

[ShdowSora]

@wyeskkit Are you fucking stupid? The bass is amazing in this.

Oh wait, yea, you are. You said drum and percussion duet, as if drums weren't a percussion instrument.

[bongripon420]

solid groove

[cesar10rockemo]

and thats how you finger a bass kids

[Dertygian]

rehearsed

[1cruefan4life]

what kinda bass does he play? good solo by the way

[C0DYMCALISTER]

@1cruefan4life its a spector bass

[XxDomiiixX]

unfortunately they are not well known in Germany. but I think they are therefore not well known because they never play here. I love Godsmack, I really love every song from them. damn i would freak out if they come to Germany...*____* it meens so much to me. I do not understand why they are so underrated =(

[9292godsmack]

@XxDomiiixX thats why my friend video got blocked in germany

[seankpm87]

its awsome

[johannisj]

remind me of sepultura on mtv about 15-20 years ago. dont u agree????

[soad416]

mrwhittric, ur wrong 15 ppl liked it so much they were in such a hurry to press the like button and hit the wrong one

[Rileysaloser]

I used to be very unimpressed with Godsmack. I was misinformed...BIG TIME

[laritabass]

EXCELENTEEEEEEEEEEEE ;)

[xWildxChildx92x]

I wish Godsmack would use more basslines like this. Each member is soooooo fuckin g talented, and I think they should all just go completly full out. Then they';d be even more awesome than they already are :)

[hero2006]

Wow!!

[sammy123792]

awesome bass

[sammy123792]

awesome bass.

[YVshadowVY]

@mrwhite I think you meant to say bieber fags

[mratvrider96]

@YVshadowVY no dude he meant what he said, now why don't you quit slamming on Bieber all the time and just watch the vids. sure he can't sing but he's making millions so just shut up because it's not even funny anymore

[joodajoo]

@mratvrider96 you mean she

[MrWittric]

GodSmack ROOOOOOOOOOOCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15 ppl are Bieber Fans !

[FuckinMetal3694]

Fuck yes thats

MUSIC

[MrDwinkie187]

fucking amazing omg!!! love godsmack!!!

[will043092]

why does the tune They play sounds like got the life korn...anyone with me?

[Vladhyilianwarrior]

@will043092 Kinda, but not quite, they are playing an acoustic version of "Awake" one of their songs.

[bassplyr908]

@Vladhyilianwarrior really? at first i thought it sounded like serenity but now im not so sure

[Vladhyilianwarrior]

@bassplyr908 It's "Awake" then they play like the middle break from "Serenity"...

Listen to Awake and Serenity and then listen to this and judge by yourself. :)

[borton1992]

shannon fuckin KILLED IT!!!!!! GOD HE IS AMAZING, Odd resemblence to Dana Carvy too! haha

[bigsexy9999]

This is prime example of musicians being awesome and playing shitty music just because it is popular

[ollikas007]

OH MY FUCKING GOD, they are so good!!

[stevehersey2001]

Only basist i've ever seen that was better (believe it or not) was in a local small town Indiana band called Red Beans and Rice

[MrExorcist7]

who dislike this video is completly fool!

[musicmc48]

The most underrated talent out there! They should play this on primetime radio. There would be a whole new Godsmack following. Awesome!

[davedwave7]

Is he palying a Zon bass?

[funkmetalbass]

@davedwave7 No, it's a Spector.

[1tootall96]

and to think his middle finger is paralyzed
