Is this on any of their albums?

[arkmay]

no

i think the jazz version of Super Mario Bros. 2 is their only videogame cover that's on a studio album

[xAnesthesiAx]

this is great, and great fucking band too. But why exactly is the upright player so lazy? he has tape on notes to play in tune and plays with terrible finger style.

[arkmay]

I dunno, look for GrooveTV's 20+ minute Estradashere "Hunger Strike" @ Kuumbwa on YouTube...

check the bass solo at 7:43

he's not classically trained or anything but i think he's pretty shredding

Tim was at this time the only musician in the band that was not a music scholar.He was self-taught and was primarily an electric bass guitarist(as well as a fancier of MIDI). At this stage,he had probably only been playing upright for a few years.But, it is obvious that he knows exactly what he is doing, even at this early stage of his transition,BTW, what do you mean by "tape"? I don't see any tape strips on the neck, only regular dot markers on the binding(where the 3rd & 5th fret would lie).

Furthermore, Tim hardly even looks at his bass the entire duration of the song. He only makes a few glances in order to assure that he is in correct position. Otherwise, his eyes are on the sheets.

This isn't Koji Kondo's music, it's Akito Nakatsuka the composer.

fucking love these guys

[SadisticMagician54]

People talking shit about Estradasphere? Wow, just wow. You picked the wrong set of musicians to fuck with

[BriseDePrintemps]

Best thing that happen to music since Zappa

[MEDGI]

@Xenoka911 Yeah, Dave Murray is clearly an incompetent drummer, as is evident by all his studio and live performances available for comparison. I've played shows like that in little radio stations. You're cramped, rushed, it's 6:20 am, and you just played to 1000 people the night before til 4am.... They're allowed to be a little less than perfect once in a while.

[Xenoka911]

at points it seems like the drummer is a tad off... also he has terrible technique. anyone else notice that?

@jaffijoe i think hes an awesome bass player and everything too, just one thing, there are no regular dots on double basses. well theres none on mine or any that ive seen or played
