  • The empty stage says it all. "Does not play well with others." Or in this hacks case "at all".

  • Is this serious or a joke? Either way it's funny. If it's a joke then you have a modern bass player laying down a fake crappy track over the video of a horrible, overrated old bass player. If it's serious then it is twice as funny because you have a crappy modern bass player playing his track over top of a video of a horrible, overrated old bass player.

  • im more of a metal/rock bassist but jaco is the man for sure!!

  • I love how he retunes his string at 4:16...hilarious!!!

  • Pretty cool they way he can make a bass sound like a fart.

  • Is this available on Itunes? No, they don't ever have anything this quality! LOL

  • This IS Jaco playing, and it's a sad reflection on how alcohol was destroying his brain at the end. It's a shame because he WAS a genius, and this would leave you wondering why, if you didn't know his body of work.

  • Random "shred" tune up at 4:17 LOL

  • lmao 2:18 the chicken... the DYING chicken

  • @ComradeJX8P come on man put the 'homage' in the name, not on the info.. people who haven't heard him think that this is jaco himself and his sound.. it's ridiculous!

  • Forgot to take his meds....

  • god this is such a disgrace.. .why the hell am i laughing?

  • Oh the clapping!

  • Jon entwhistle

  • haha i'm a jaco fan and this is brilliant. i agree with others on here about the clapping part. so funny. come on guys i think jaco would laugh at this too ;) 

  • Learn this or die: When you are in the evil heart of your addiction, it seems like you can't concentrate creatively on your art. That's a chemical lie of the poison-substance you're taking. It has alienated you from your love, your art. The only way to beat this lie is to lay your art down, go into continual treatment WHILE discontinuing use. This you make a permanence. As you learn about the nature of addiction, you'll relearn true love, hate, and slowly pick your art up along the way.

  • notice that he's hearing a beat that no one else is hearing when he claps, its not suppose to be funny, its being an amazing musician

  • That ending is the best way to finish the song!

  • fabolous

  • Jeez you guys have one of these videos for everyone

  • This is so obviously fake, but I can read a bunch of comments by stupid people that belive it's Jaco playing. That makes me realize that most of those guys are, probably, shitty players that play at home looking at the mirror believing that they are rock stars! Man, Jaco was the greatest, get over it!

  • @demoniciceberg No offense to Jaco or fans of Jaco. But I really didn't like the original either.

  • @Ulysses447 To like something it's a matter os taste. It would be impossible to say that Jaco isn't good, but you are free not to like!

  • Sad to see someone who was so excellent in all ways music descend into this pathetic self parody. A small child could play this.

  • @7mmike7 OMG.. it's not really him playing. These "shred" videos are all over Youtube. Someone redid the audio.. loosen up ...

  • @megavega4 Finally, someone who isn't a complete idiot.

  • @whyarethereusernames Yanno? Personally.. I think if Jaco were alive, he would have pissed himself laughing at this.

  • I want the tabs for this......

  • Not sure he was all there on this one? Not his best work.

  • I wonder if he saw this while sober he might have cleaned up his act, and he might be alive today. I Curse the bastard that showed the greatest bass player on earth at that time period how to shoot that garbage into his veins.

  • @playguitarlars What? He died by being beaten to death.

  • @playguitarlars He did do drugs but its not like every famous musician has died to heroin, Jaco was sometimes a little crazy and could piss people off, thus his death... :/

  • this is bad...

  • It actually sounds like a Gene Simmons bass solo for real

  • no not jacoo! D: haha

  • i haev that bass

  • I hate this shit. It's so unfunny to anyone with an IQ over 90.

  • @plangentmusic Thanks for speaking for the rest of us, but you're wrong.

  • I HEARD THIS BEFORE SOMEONE CHANGED THE AUDIO ON IT WOW LIKE THAT

  • moments of genius!

  • JAJAJAJA QUE HIJO DE PUTA !! JAJAJAJJAJA

  • Wonderful but not as wonderful as the comments. Pay attention, folks... Actually: don't

  • this is really one of the greatest things ever create on youtube.

  • I saw him at the first Playboy Jazz Festival back in the early 70's and he was stoned and all pissed off. He sounded about like this, got mad, and then threw his bass on the stage and pushed over his amplifier and walked off. From that day on, I had little respect for him, but he was a great player when his head was straight.

  • @slap70s You do know that he suffered from mental illness and died on the streets? I was lucky enough to see him in the late 70's with Weather Report.

  • @swaggs

    Oh, so they are calling drug addiction a mental illness now? By the way, he died after picking a fight with the wrong dudes at a bar when he was wasted. They beat the life out of him and that big mouth of his. Where did you get your facts? Face it, the guy could play like an angel, but he had the lifestyle of the devil. He deserves props for his musicianship, but to put him on a pedestal, and forget his faults is rewriting history. He was what he was.

  • @slap70s Who put him on a pedestal? Sure wasn't me dude. I recall reading an article about him being mentally ill when he died and who says you can't have a drug addiction and be mentally ill? Sure seems to me the two go hand in hand. I'm done.

  • @slap70s

    I know it's very easy to explain things away with mental illness, but Jaco did suffer from Bipolar Disorder which was exacerbated by his drug and alcohol addiction. I could go on and on about how it was that kind of uncompassionate attitude towards addiction which drove him to his early grave, but I don't like to presume that I'm correct in my opinions (unlike most people on Youtube). It's just my humble opinion that nobody should judge an addict without knowing their full story.

  • This is how I heard him in 86. Stoned on the stage. One year later he was dead. RIP.

  • Lol it's like watching a movie on mute and making up your own script Lol

  • Loving all the retards in the comments who don't get it. The video is great, but the comments take the cake.

  • Comment removed

  • @muismumbo Yo man this aint Jaco playin, its some terrible terrible bass player playin his own thang over the vid clip (Who knows why??)

    ..

  • throw him off the stage and get a child prodigy to entertain the crowd

  • He's very good on his guitar,isn't he!

  • hahaha! love the mannerisms.. and the outfit.. and that the bassist sounds like my drummer playing...

  • wtf is this? this is fake.

  • Now that's some real Jazz :P

  • JACO FOOTAGE IS SO RARE LITTLE TIDBITS LIKE THIS ARE ABSOLUTELY WELCOME

  • hahaha i'm loving the comments from the people who dont get this. if anything this gives jaco more respect by showing the polar opposite of how he plays. he would have found this very funny i'm sure. though nice work on the bass tone, pretty spot on!

  • All these videos say shred but nobody plays worth a crap lol.

  • Wow. This is boring.

  • Comment removed

  • Just great. this is the best Jaco Pastorius vid I could find on Youtube.

  • oh man - I know the whole "shreds"gag is pretty ancient by now in internet years - but I still can't stop laughing - bwahahaha!!! effing like dude.

  • Totally hilarious! Get real, folks. Anyone who would search for Jaco on youtube has all of his records and the Weather Report stuff. This is a great parody...keep doing your thing!

  • dude why did you do that ? its not jaco.. ffs there are millions of young bass players listening and learning jaco from youtube first time. its not funny !

  • @efestombulsise oh lighten up. if you don't have enough judgement or a sense of humour to realize that's it's a parody, too bad for you.

  • HAHAHHA hilarious how he claps at 0:55

    anyone pissed at this has no sense of humor. get a grip guys

  • @marokokisetter It would have been way funnier if I hadn't known it was coming!

  • Fantastic !

  • Ahahah, ahah, ahahah... uahahahah...hahah, ahah, ahahah... uahahahah..hahah, ahah, ahahah... uahahahahhahah, ahah, ahahah... uahahahahhahah, ahah, ahahah... uahahahah.hahah, ahah, ahahah... uahahahahhahah, ahah, ahahah... uahahahah

  • this is some funny-ass shit!!!!!!!!!

  • LMAO !

  • sacriledge...

  • In the name of the great JACO, bassist,composer, arrenger etc, you should delete this video, made with him so desorientated and drugged...He did so much for the bass and music,that he deserves respect...

  • hahahahahahaha

  • big shit

  • rofl

  • ma chi è sto cojone...

  • and to think i walk the same hallways of high school that he did

  • hahah the clapping, and the de-tuning of the E string, too good!!

  • were Jaco's dresses tipical from 70's?? 

  • @baptthebass

    no. ha always dressed in rags, hippy things, and it was far from - even music industry - standards. or he just walked barefoot in silly hats or hadbands and raggy pants.

    I think he did not care for "dress code" at all.

    he even had problems of playing with a jazz combo - all in suits - and him showing up in hippy cloths.

  • hahahaahaha thats was so funny dude! hahaha great job!

  • Shit but u did a very well job at makeing it look like he was playing it....bravo

  • funny.

  • U got news for you peeps. This is some dude who just overdubbed his bass playing over jacos haha. Terrible. This video should be removed lol.

  • @themandude1123 it's humor. get over it.

  • @themandude1123 really? :O he did a good job making it look like him...

  • @themandude1123 nah thats really him playing lol

  • @meshuggahstringer no it's not him

  • es como si llevara un especie de tempo superior en su cuerpo, un tempo que esta tan claro para él como para aplaudirlo, como si quisiera decir tantas cosas que no supiera por dónde empezar...

    el bueno de jaco.

  • io suono cosi xD ahahahahah

  • OK it took a while....My mouth was open for the first half. I thought....drugs??? Off night???? Spoof? On the greatest of greats, I could not even imagine....Great Job....You fool who shts on the Temple of Doom.

  • Sorry, I think Jaco was great but this is a bunch of crap. It doesn't even sound like him.

  • Lol, clearly fake. since when do you get fret buzz on a fretted bass. saying that though this realy did make me lol and it is actually quite well done and very funny. i like it haha

  • loooooool 0:55 !! Hahaaa

  • 173 people has no sense of humor!

  • I'm the successor of Jaco!

  • wow and this is the great bass??ahahha my dog can stram those strings better

  • @biancaphil08 I'm sure he can spell better than you too

  • @biancaphil08 I know it's hard for you to do but read the description before writing some times. It mentions St. Sanders and it's known the dude overdubs musicians and does terrible playing for fun and than adds audience claps afterwords.

  • @streeTkiDwannaBe see my video, I'm play better than Jaco.

  • @biancaphil08 you're an idiot -.-'

  • Well... at least he's got the tone right.

  • HOLY MOLEY!!! Totally got me for a few seconds!!! Wow! But funny to imagine!

  • Please!!!!I hope you all know this is a parody!!!NOT REAL!!!!

  • I know Jaco was pretty out of it at times and his playing wasn't 100% always, so it took me a while to realize what was happening in this clip. Well done, you had me going there. Very funny!

  • funny and cruel,all at the same time.....

  • BULLSHIT...this is FAKE

  • It amazes me how dumb people can be.,

  • This guy is absolutely beyond me.

  • this is not the correct complete track! he plays a loop, which is NOT playing in this damn track!

  • people listen to him like hes giving a speech

  • GREAT JOB MAN

  • Haha the noise of his arms hittin the bass when he claps...that's attention to detail! Nicely done

  • This is absolutely fake. I'm hearing the E about 50 cents flat. Also, next time you try to defame one of the greatest bass players ever make sure you use a fretless bass jackass.  Check out the fret noise on the glissando at the end of this slander at 5:34.

    IDIOT>

  • fake. Jaco was great!

  • the santana one is better

  • what was he on?!

  • lol fuckin troll :D

  • im a fan of this ma but first of..wtf is he wearing !!!! and that was a claping fail right thr lol

  • Man this shit is funny. Oh the ABSURDITY.

    Dig...this might be what some folks actually hear when some jazz comes their way. Just like ALL latin music sounds the same...all country music sounds the same...all BLUES sounds the same.

    Gawd knows what happens to music once it enters the ears...no tellin where it goes or what it turns into.

  • this made me urinate perfusely

  • @redsox14048 Too bad it didn't improve your grammar! Try a pair of Depends brand senior diapers!

  • @meanranger i'm glad u spend ur time looking for grammar mistakes on old youtube comments.

  • @redsox14048 juck O:D

  • @redsox14048 indeed

  • 0:55

    That clapping almost made me pee my pants.

  • I know its an audio swap but what was this show?

  • this is awful

  • the cool thing is that these shreds got even more views than the original vids haha

  • That is so fucking funny, made my day aye!!!

  • Prime stuff, for a major Law Suit...!

  • Haha, I have this whole show on my computer. Surprisingly, the original solo isn't that good, given the fact that it's Jaco.

  • These type 'fake' videos suck. Pointless and teenage.

  • lol Too funny. Anyone have a link to the original?

  • I am so glad that I have seen the actual jam. I would feel violated if it weren't so funny.

  • This is the funniest shit ever... thanks...

  • did Jaco use drugs??

  • Hilarious!  A well done spoof.

  • I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

  • ))))))))))))))))))))))) 

  • sad-towards his end.

  • Kids, if you practice enough EVERYDAY you can be like the great Jaco! Don't give up!

  • @totallyfrozen THIS IS NOT JACO PLAYING

  • Didn't this guys write the soundtrack to Jurassic Park 3?

  • quel basso ha visto la guerra...

  • This is the funniest video on youtube, because of how ridiculous it is!

  • I hate when people do this. It's so unfunny.

  • nobodies trying to ruing jacos reputation its just a little fun havent you seen any of the other shreds videos its just an nice little overdubbing of a great musician that you can listen to and laugh at horrible it is but how they would never ever sound like that

  • @mariojaime1975 thats the joke. its meant to be funny. cause its bad. I love jaco, absolutltly love his playing, and this bugs me. but it was an intentional fake lol

  • I love how when he starts clapping it sounds like an empty hall. You don't see or hear anyone. LOL

  • Never though it was Jaco 'cause it sounds like crap.

  • awful. jaco deserves more

  • haha i didn't know this was a joke until I started reading the comments!

  • I just watched one of his other videos and it sounded a lot like this. Jaco Pastorius was certainly no Michael Anthony.

  • @ArtsBarAndGrill Michael Anthony? Now you're the one who's joking,right?

  • OMG you had me going here for a while. it wasn't till about 2min into the vid that I realaized this was a parody. and I was saying to myself " oh wow. jaco must have been real high on about 1:00??? this sucks!!!" This is some really funny stuff. my favorite is at 5:30 on your atonal outro AND THEN EVERYONE CLAPSSSS!!!!!! hahaha

  • jaco is great and all, but the "music" is timed so well that i thought it was real at first

  • yeah....hear all that crazy string squeak? Not on Jaco's worst day would an amateurish mistake like that occurr...

    the physical mannerisms are similar though

  • this sounds better then the real one.... Yes it does.

  • what does sherd mean?

  • This is hilarious stuff!!

    Genious!!

    Bravo!!

  • Ironically, this is not far removed from the real thing. Check out Jaco Solo Bass if you dont believe me.

  • I had the real presentation and this is a joke, if jaco has plays like this then he was a perfect asshole...

  • It's really interesting to see all the comments. It can really shows what kind of people wrote them. One who believed don't know anything about Jaco nor understand his music. One who took it as an insult know who Jaco is and probably think he is great because someone told them so. One who took it as a joke really know how great he is and it's just ridiculous so just have to laugh.

  • The only depressing part of this is that there are peeps who appear to have enough savvy to know how Jaco was a one-of-a-kind world class phenom but are confused about fake audio under real video. Sorry about your ears - or lack thereof.

  • nice try wannabe

  • hahahaha....

  • seems like an Andy Kauffman thing

  • The really unfunny thing about this is that certain parts sound like they could be me! Definitely time to call it a day I think

  • i really wanna meet the douche thats posting fake vids of Jaco and tarnishing his legendary status. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE REAL VIDEO SEARCH "JACO SOLO BASS". Stop believing this garbage is actually him.

  • I thought he was the best bass player..
