  • lol the drummer cant keep up with john, i bbet he was thinking where's moonie when you need him

  • wat bass did he play on?

  • This is porn groove for spiders all around the world.

  • This crowd needs shock therapy... I can't get enough of hearing the Ox on bass. Been a fan of his for nearly twenty years, and I'm still blown away when I listen to him. Thanks for posting this vid.

  • R. I.P. Mr . Entwistle !

  • fucking pissed this doesnt have WAY more views!

  • When Chuck Norris fights this song is playing in his head

  • all i can say is  fcking legend rip john entwistle

  • I'd love to play a buzzard, just to see whats its like compared to a Thunderbird :D

  • grand bassiste

  • Looks like 4 people were so shocked by the greatness of john that they had a seizure and in their convolutions they accidentally hit the dislike button

  • crowd sucks balls

  • @Korph88 They just must of been blown away by the shear power of the bass playing.

  • My brother really shut up about cliff burton after seeing this

  • Extraordinary. Did all the other bands at this fest pack up and go home after this?

  • @eveningtsar I think they all died.

  • @eveningtsar no but after he left all of the fans got mad and burnt the place to the ground

  • SSSSSSSSSSSSSMOKIN!

  • Pete started playing his famous power chords and windmill style because ajohn was always playing Lead on his bass.

  • Eleventy billion notes at once...what a bassist.

  • Drummer totally loses the pocket here. hard to listen to.

  • 0:04 - The Ox using pick ;O

  • Who else thinks youTube's new comment layout blows?

    Entwistle FTW

  • For those of you who are viewing John Entwistle for the first time, what you are witnessing is the "Bassist Of The Millenium" voted in 2000 by other professional bass players and musicians. You are probably saying WTF was that? What did I just see? It cant be real. Nobody can play like that. He is not human, Well he is human and this is real and he can play like that, that bass would cut right through you. It was loud and I was just in awe. Cheers

  • Entwistle puts to shame all the unimaginative bass players who play mechanical bass lines. It should be required reading for all bass players to listen to Enwistle/The Who albums.

  • i was half way thru the song when i realized there was no lead guitar going on.... yea... there ain't ANYbody better than JOHN on base... no body no how!! MF

  • its bass....not base...bass :)

  • thinks john i hit every not in time with you there

  • There aren't enough eyes for what John's doing.

  • the way steve luongo looks over when entwistle is soloing is just plain hilarious!!!!!!

  • J. E. SUPREMO!!!!

  • that tone is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! this man was born to blay the bass!

  • u mean "play the bass"? lol

  • this man pretty much invented rock n roll bass playing, truly his fingers raced just like thunder across that bass fretboard!!!!!!

  • AMAZING ROCK BASS PLAYING!!!!!!

  • awesome bass solo but i would say that his best moment ever was at the royal albert hall concert in 2000!!!!!!

  • This is the stuff Megadeth and Rush grew up on on, so eat a dick Buddy

  • haha, just wanted to see the reception that my comment got. I'm pleased

  • When you watch john all you can do is laugh

    He's just so damn good

  • For Facebook users: I've made a page for the JE Band. Become a fan.

  • really true rock bass playing ever J.E.RIP

  • They just need to zoom in on his butt and be done with it. XD It'd make me happy. 4:49 was the closed to it though. Anyway, he is such an amazing bass player.

  • Oh my god, he's just so godly! I love it!

  • I love at about 2:00 when he drops the E string in and out of D tuning. He uses a Hipshot Bass Xtender, and anybody who uses those on their basses will tell you that dropping the E tuning like he does will deaden the string after just a few turns.

    And Steve Luongo's neck is huge.

  • depends on how wound up you have the string. I usually keep about an inch of slack for it to fit in, so when I drop to D by turning the tuning key, it won't deaden it like it will with the whole string wound up. Just depends really, on how hard you play and the weight of the strings and the tuning you're dropping to.

  • It is infact a Status, his Status Buzzards were ALL graphite, the Warwicks only had graphite Necks if im correct, he also used gold plated handwound Maxima strings, although he did switch back to his Rotosound Swing Bass strings which are the best bass strings if i may add.

  • His Warwick Buzzard's all had Modulus graphite replacement necks made especially for him. He also had two Modulus all-graphite Buzzards before he got the Status B's.

  • The drummers expression at 0:59 is also pretty good, though not as...........dramatic

  • wanna know how gud this guy is? the drummers expression at 2:36 says it all

  • RIP John Entwistle. What an amazing bass player. What this video shows, I believe, is that the most amazing part of any musician is the part that makes magic...not the technical brilliance. You can hear what a technically great a player he is in this video, but you can hear the MAGIC he makes with The Who. His technical brilliance is so good, but his part in making musical magic with The Who is beyond brilliant. RIP.

  • This is a Warwick Bass

  • Warwick Buzzard bass

  • Actually this one is a Status Graphite Series 1(could be series 2, not sure) Bass. He did play the Warwick's, though

  • Coño¡¡ the drummer is Mel Gibson XD

  • ah ah!

  • this guy is so fuckin amazin, he does slapbass style, machine gun style, and his own typewriting machine style, he was the god under the 4 strings!!!

  • IS THAT A CUSTOM BASS ,d'you know??? I know he had basses made for him in Winipeg, Canada where he and the Who come from, I believe...think he died of a heroin overdose there and Mel Gibson, the former Who drummer died in Winnioeg of a coke overdose forty-seven years, I believe. looks like a custom bass.

  • I...Idon't know what to say to that. Should I laugh or call you an idiot?

  • oh...thought it WAS a custom bass....

  • It is a coustom...FUCK!

  • Right, Ta. Any idea whether it's a, say, Rickenbacker Custom...or Fender.....?

  • Status Graphite Series 1 Buzzard bass prototype (with no serial number); has one gold tuning key and three black ones, along with four chrome pots (potentiometers; one is a stacked treble/bass control) instead of five as in the production version .

  • Hey, jc1033...me and Rod the Crippler have just been havin' a bit of a laugh, neither of us actually knowing wot type of bass the Master Entwistle has here...WOW!!! How the heck did u know exa-fuckin-xactlyyyy...sounds like u built that mother!!!!!!!! Thanks for the info, pal, and I'm sure ALL WHO READ AND VIEW ON THIS SITE will appreciate your time in letting us all know...I'd better stop kiddin' around with Rod the Crippler now...as 'e didn't get that name for nuffin!!!!!!!

  • the who are from england, and there were a lot of custom made basses designed from him, whaddaya mean about the "mel gibson drummer", is that a joke?? the who was started with john entwistle, pete townshend (guitar), roger daltrey (vocals) and keith moon (drums), the latter died also by overdose but in 1978, 31 years ago, not 47!!!

  • @rodcrippler Roman god of bass

  • even the drummer got amazed by john!!!

  • this is why john is the best musician evere!!

  • I watched 3 minutes of this before giving up waiting to hear them play anything resembling "Shakin' all Over!"

  • the clip picks up half way throgh the song...during the solos....

  • hail you! you've been the who ! (like keith too)

    nico

  • if you never saw johns band live it was so fucking awesome i dont think john ever felt so free in the who this band kicked ass as i so love the drummer who i see has a great love for john and steve luongo i tyty so much for these videos i saw this band like 5 times and i couldnt wait to see you guys tour each time it reminded me of old raw who that i dont see from the who when they toured ty again tommy mac

  • so love the who and the ox and i admire johns ability to forge new innovative bass sounds but his sound here sounds almost so far removed from a bass guitar!!too much flanger and who knows what else effects!! the best tho was john .

  • According to an interview, on the 1989 tour, Entwistle was going to solo (like he does here) with the drums during this song, like he did later with the song 5:15.

  • Starting his own band really freed John up to do new things.
