Michael Manring Parodie

[idigcars]

LMAO, even the bad cable distortion was on the money hhaahahahahah

[chillipepper2011]

XDDDDDDD

[baronvonsatan]

This is probably what it would sound like if I tried to play Teen Town like he played it.

[fwasa000]

Man, Manring really is a musical genius. Too bad his amp was all screwed up. The crowd was pretty lame but still, sick performance from a truly underrated bass player.

[BassClockwork]

hahahaha



[geobruf123]

best shred ever is between this and the mark king one

[Soilwar]

The first few notes and michaels facial expressions made me laugh so hard that I almost got kicked out of my academy class. :'D

[awfulguitarplucker]

does manring know of this parody? has anyone told him already?

[dantro78]

@awfulguitarplucker Yes! Michael has been a member of the TalkBass forum site for a number of years, and I remember seeing a post he did in response to other members talking about this video. He said he thought it was hilarious and, in an odd sort of way, felt humbled that a Youtube parody was made of him.

[oOJackHammerOo]

freakin' hilarious....

[tbcass]

This is one of the best "shredding" parody's I've heard. It matches the movements and fingering perfectly. Also the playing is amateurish while at the same time skillful. Very well done.

[Bass5el]

Man I'd be happy to play Teen Town THIS badly.... it's still better than I can do it!

[Sax4Him]

Total and utter GENIOUS! I split a gut watching this stuff it's sooo good.

[shzindenPL]

the parodist should come to a stage and play, people would love it ;]

[virtuosolomon]

sounds like earthbound music...cave of past much

[jordibp]

SO FUNNY !! great job knoertz

HIlarious ! !

[chipchance]

God! I laughed till I cried. 

[bassio1969]

gheghegheghegehghegehe!

[maskedman72]

this is fuckin great! totally awesome job! the shorting out is just great! amazing job matching everything up!

[slapitcrazy]

ahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhah­ahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhah­

[hojima]

It takes skill to deliberately fuck this up this well.

[beckenbauers]

aiiiii...this is a masterpiece, I was laughing out of control. I love especially the noise you put in the breaks and the audience applauding! You must have spent hours to imitate his movements??

[BassWhiz92]

He's got that look on his face that's like "O Ya, I'm that damn good" LMFAO XD

[ssab420]

These are awesome please make more!

[dharmaseed]

You know, that actually LOOKS like Maichael Manring.

[bendecbass]

c'est vrai que pastorius n'etait vraiment pas au top dans les derniere années de ça vie notamment sur son concert solo (honestly) c'est d'ailleur une parodie de ce concert visiblement .

mais je trouve que se moquer de lui de la sorte est vraiment mal car jaco était un grand bassiste dans ça bonne période .

bien plus grand que manring !!

[bassmajor]

I love how the lack of loops makes it sound like some ultra weird contemporary rubbish :D I loooooove it :D

[FablabAmsterdam]

go home Michael Manring

[volcomscooter29]

lol at purple haze

[brunocoelhobass]

Best bass solo ever.

[brunocoelhobass]

LOVE IT! Hahahaha

[bassmajor]

1:50 cracked me up so much, I'm dying :D

Sad though that there are people playing pretty much exactly like that and posting it on youtube^^

[dream182oddja]

Good Job  !

[frontmann7]

Most funny thing is the audience laughing as the jacks fail! Look at 4.08

[alembicbassguy]

This is comic genius

[Bruce4010]

those who have made it must burn in hell xDDD

[CherryConcrete]

I watched this one at work today, I cried from laughter

[CherryConcrete]

Oh my God this is amazing

I laughed my ass off

[rockin982]

This is HILARIOUS.  11/10.

[musicforever5194]

Hahahahaha!!!Fantastic!!!!!!!!­!

[meatwad61]

this is great

[Marcus19982]

0:47 esilarante aahaha

[jahp77]

Is that a Zon bass?

[cuwinkel]

@jahp77

Yes - The Zon "Hyperbass".

[MoonUnitLatina]

This is amazing in every single way.

[vkotis]

LMAO Great job putting that together. the static sound was genius.

[Tuloisboss]

What's name of original song, please?

[fwasa000]

best thing ive ever seen

[chipchance]

Love it! The faulty connections thing is hilarious.

[TeeWeeQcKsteel]

@chipchance HEHE :-D it is jeah

[chipchance]

Love it!

[bassmajor]

haha great editing :D:D:D

[TheDuotones]

lmfao, this is great

[wbgo]

What a polite audience. A full seven minutes before they even snicker.

Genius, knoertz.

[joshthorne]

I looooveee this....well done! hahahahhahaha

[barbeus]

buhahuahhahahahaha perfect :)) cord unplugging masterpiece :D

[thecocreator88]

Awkward to watch haha

[pizzacrime]

I have never heard such horrible playing on purpose in my life, played and edited with absolute exacting standards. Smashing job, this is awesome!

Every single sound replaced with an ant-sound, down to every single movement of his fingers, timed EXACTLY. ..........And the crowd?! LOL!! Genius!

.........Seriously, I can see why some people would be confused that this is his actual performance. It has to be expected and forgiven here..... I bet Michael Mannring thinks this hilarious

[Kalashnikov32]

what the fuck is this?

[zenradio]

@Kalashnikov32 Humor

[spectorman09]

Pure genius right down to the staticky wires, great parody.

[Lance733nk]

first class. I peed.

[def2008]

The first time i am listen this 2 it's different ??????? were is the real prestation?? not the parodie?????

[hasegawamiki]

@def2008 I think it's not on youtube, and that sucks, cause it's a hell of a performance!

[hasegawamiki]

@def2008 I found the vid! you just google in youtube "Michael Manring Teen Town" it appears in what seems to be the russian youtube =)

[bohs1984]

This is only "sort of" funny if you are a real hard core Jaco fan; otherwise it is just annoying.

[MrStayCoul]

I've hot the real song in my favorites ^^

[davidafultz]

What happened to the original version of this?

[Atreyu4]

:-D

[BogusWins]

Respond to this video... Stupid and want the real version back

[MisterMR44]

Brilliantly hilarious! The crackling amp just has me in tears every time!

[ZappaFan101]

These videos are great! I've watched this one so many times, but it is still funny! I would love to see someone take on a Jeff Berlin parody.

[ecn20]

this is blasphemy ! :D

[lucasfola]

Does someone have the original audio? There was a video like that on youtube some time ago but is was taken out =/

[irmaorick]

@lucasfola Just google "video michael manring teen town". There'll be two video results, it's the second option, from a russian website. Have fun!

[TPCrackerman]

I NEED THE ORIGINAL AUDIO FILE OF THIS PERFORMANCE!!!!! DOES ANYONE HAVE IT OR KNOW WHERE TO GET IT???!!!

[andreasswarfeld]

Pure Genius !!! this has restored my Faith in Humainity. Love the amp Cracklin , attention to detail indeed

[nicotravaini]

aaaaa suban el video original de este tema que no lo encuentro y es una versión increíble!

[salm37]

Can't touch Jaco's feel!

[hobbychirurg]

awesome :D :D :D

[betternotbeso]

Definitely the most pretentious thing I've seen. He's so great he can play badly, comedic mastery indeeeed... He still has a Kenny G haircut.

[clarkem]

I can't believe someone did a "shred" vid for MM. I agree: musician's comedy for sure!

[korsorvagen]

wow that manring guy is soo overrated

[TPCrackerman]

Where did the original video go?

[ttdrengen]

@TPCrackerman It has been deleted due to copyrights, but i found it by googling "michael manring teen town" :)

[TPCrackerman]

@ttdrengen thank you

[DaionBass]

Good question...I can't find it anywere! >:(

[awfulguitarplucker]

@DaionBass in my opinion, MIchael Manring did this...yes,roght..Manring Parodied himself!

[Zedetnik]

Is that even a bass solo?

[deezbar]

@Zedetnik its a parody.its somebody overdubbed over the original.M/Manring is incredible,thats the comedy. :-)

[Zedetnik]

Oh I see... thanks!!

[szidorbass]

XDDDDDDdd

YOU ROCK MAAAAN!

MORE PLEASEEE!!!!

:DDDD

[ko3st]

Amazingly funny.. I can not believe my ears... I wet my pants from laughing!!

[dinoantimental]

its fake>?

[CptChaos88]

@dinoantimental

yes

[squishymedic]

I still piss my pants everytime I see this.

[paapakobe]

Oh gosh... i love the bad jacks. This is so well done it's almost not funny. Now i have to find the real one to restore my faith in humanity

[cottonfever1221]

@paapakobe Think about how much time was put into this,this is insane 10 times over,hilarious and well thought of,BRILLIANT people even thought it was real, and you were even playing the role of him as a look-a-like.

[cottonfever1221]

@paapakobe Think about how much time was put into this,this is insane 10 times over,hilarious and well thought of,BRILLIANT people even thought it was real, and you were even playing the role of him as a look-a-like. PS as a bassist myself I dont see what all the hoop-la is about this guy,his music is a dull as his appearence and since he chooses to be on a stage then I have the god given rite to critique him! YEAH!

[paapakobe]

@cottonfever1221 This thing makes me laugh to tears a year later. Actually, I wanted to find the real VIDEO to see if Manring could play at all - hahah i'm hearing this & it's killin me! I'd agree i found MM's other original stuff kind of 'soulless creative wiz bang.' Sometimes when peoples faces & bodies are tight &jerky, it comes out the amp like that. I respect MMs dedication to his craft but i REALLY respect the guy who dubbed this video.

[paapakobe]

@cottonfever1221 I like when MM plays emotional stuff, like the "Enormous Room", not the funky stuff. If i tried to play HIS originals I'd probably sound like this parody - and that would NOT be funny, even with good jacks!

[sparkinsons]

so dumb. OK it's funny.

[dbt07]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???? Don't know what to think of this one hmmmmmmmmmmm

[deepchords]

torture! pfffffff!

[LfunkeyA]

hhahahahahahahaha

[meikamo]

haha awesome parody, but sadly this is about what it sounds like when I try to play teen town.

[steffenwf]

@meikamo

Yu are not alone, my friend ;-))

[Omeega333]

HAHAHAAAA fine parody!

[MrSPEEMO]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahaaahhahaaahahhahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahhaah!

[OXI070]

-:) Thanks for sharing! He is the BEST bass player (I think so)!

[legaultxD02]

excelente ... me cague de la risa cuando lo vi...xDDD buena parodia...

[Bassarie]

Dit is echt geweldig! Alweer 3 jaar oud, zie ik nu. Alles klopt, tot de kleinste geluidjes en "kraakjes"!

Meneer Manring neemt zichzelf ook veel te serieus! Heb je ooit reactie van hem gehad?

[cpthobby]

a true genius, hahaha

[jabeebopboe]

I don't think this guy is very good and his equipment sucks.

[zanscath]

@jabeebopboe It's a parody, man. The sound is overdubbed ;)

[jabeebopboe]

I know and it's friggin hilarious!

[Waterband]

AWESOME!!! 5 STARS!!!

I wanna Jam with you!!!

have a groovy day!

Peace & Blessings

d

[ZappaFan101]

I love it.

[costuorzolo]

[neddx3]

[jibcraip]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!! very well done !!!! It must have been really hard work to play like that loool.

[zenradio]

Isn't this supposed to be called Michael Manring shreds ? Funny tho

[NoirX]

Michael Manring is a genius on the bass... but this was really a parody xDDDD hes funny as hell :D nice :D

[pirhala]

people like this shit???

[Naxxx]

john patitucci??!

[rurrekrurrek]

Ive almost wet myself!

One have to be really briiant musican,to record false notes as you did!

Excelent job!

Thou...I love MM and his music,but I find your 'remake' extremely hilarious!

...(I thought M King was funny,,,,but this almost killed me)!

[aakkoin]

hahah sweet playing

[Fufuless]

When he played the same note for like 10 seconds I just died laughing.

[Dairwolf]

OMG the hendrix part!!! this is so hilarious!

[Toranaga1543]

This is really great ^^ well done... well done

[drob281159]

This is hilarious and very well made!

[MisterSpankyPants]

hahahah

[PartyFindsYOU]

Funny, he can still play Teen Town better than me!

[iloveasiangirls]

comedy for hardcore musicians right here (: lol

[strongone5000]

amen to that

[Nevigo]

@iloveasiangirls

I´ll say..:)

[lummond]

Are people really so stupid that they think this is the real audio, even with "parodie" (sic) in the title?

[ianenderson]

lol....funny stuff

[pimpreport]

funny as hell!

[worship4dasaints]

My sides hurt.

[LifeforArt]

LOL and LOL hardest again at 3:00!

[drumz36]

This is briliiant and hilarious, all at once!!  You put a lot of work into the subtleties like the 'verb and pot noise. I believe Mike himself would be laughing his ass off!

[milesntrane]

Hillarious. This guy is terrible.

[billab0nx]

OmG .. who ever made this video so creative man . !! ... loved it ..

[spoombung]

hahahaha! love it!

[TheSebang]

lmfao

[twostripepolecat]

I watched the real one, and then watched this - this is so hilarious - I was crying I was laughing so hard

[F0nkyNinja]

The real one sounds really strange.

[Oswah]

The audio is fucked, there's only one channel.

[freakyteakyterrorist]

those amp nosies remind me of one of my basses. =(

[eurabio]

that wasn't a good performance at all :S what happened too manring? he usually is awesome, but this impro was really bad :(

[JoeHannouch]

haha man it's a parody that's not the real audio for that video!

[drummerkidmashy]

haha this isnt his playing, the guy made an audio over it so it sounds hilarious.

[eurabio]

No! look at the end of the vid, he even shakes his head and grabs his face. It was equally frustrating for him!

You must see the whole vid dude.

[SlashyJ]

hahahaha...very creative on the amp noise timing!!

[ThrashingBastardHell]

HILARIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

But is very funny!!! xD!

[Jezekone]

'...tewring snoeruh...!'

[Turbulence654321]

haha 5:24 purple haze

[rickrudd]

You know what is great about these? The guys who do the "parodying" have got to be fairly sick to play so poorly but still resemble Teen Town enough for us to get the joke...

[scumgod13]

@rickrudd Youve gotta be really good to play poorly on that level.

[mikaelstoneface]

Brilliant! ha ha ha! The funny thing is the bass player doing the over dub actually has a lot of talent to be able to do this even though he or she is totally screwing around.

[carlosbassos]

Hilarious! It is hilarious!

[AlwaysAbiggerFish]

What is this?

[mickyfrombybh]

LMFAO just his face is enough

[carloscs5]

hilarious!

[socksandpistols]

It hurts!

[socksandpistols]

I f-ing dying man!

[Abisso666]

Fucking incredible! Micheal's faces really help to keep the fun higj, though. Absolutely brilliant parodie.

[jabbipp56]

Does anyone know who did this? F ing brilliant!

[Losbass]

Omg! This parody owns! Lmao! Bravo! , well done!

[junglespyder]

ok why are the only videos of this perfomance that are on the internet anymore just parodies that make a genius look like a fuck up? can we please see this video done justice

[GITTZA]

The static noise makes me bust out laughing everytime and the dissonant chords are hilarious! Best parody i have seen by far!

[polypolyman]

oh wow... it's this video, but it's the soundboard, which doesn't actually give you what the audience heard, just what he played...
