I believe they're releasing a game based on this amv

Thanks for the reminder and the challenge. As always, you're always on point!

...must admit: I didn't know but your explanations (including the more personal aspect) give me some pulse...!

I had a Sabre. It was smooth.

Not sure if it was '74 but one of the most memorable bass lines for me was 'you want it, you got it' Detriot Emeralds (might have been '73

I'm a big fan of ryosuke nikamoto (called Nika-chan) since he was in T.M.Revolution and TNNK-band. His basic is Jazz. Nika-chan also doing jazz performance with many jazz musicians in Blue mood Tokyo.

😂😂😂 Level 42 M.PinK Mark king of course

Dude, @pdbass you've gotta check out Truth In Lies by Zutomayo, they only JUST released it about 2 weeks after you posted this vid yourself. Such a great song, and the animation made me cry a bit! Zutomayo is just phenomenal all around!

im listenning jpop music since 2020 principally beause of anime opening and i still love it because contrary to kpop or other pop like american pop or french pop here it's the sound and lyrics that are important, not the interpret. Zutomayo, Tuyu, yoasobi, eve are all groups were musician don't put light on them but on a narative that is brilliant. You should definitly try Masayuki Suzuki this guy is sick and a pur jazzman

24 carat magic was in the AIR!😊

Agree with you about Louis but you should mention his greatest notes like Stomp and Billie Jean

Awesome ! Thanks

One of my favorite bass-lines from 1974 may surprise you. The song is “100,000 Years” from KISS debut album 💿, “Kiss”. Just listen to it. As a bassist, Gene Simmons is very underrated. Listen to the KISS classics “Detroit Rock City” and “Ladies Room”. Gene Simmons is very much influenced by Paul McCartney of the Beatles. By the way, outstanding video! Thank you. “Hollywood Swinging” is a favorite of mine! Wild And Peaceful by Kool & The Gang is classic. 😎🔥🥇

I am personal friends with Darek as I'm living in Japan about one minute away from him and we sit in the park together often. He is aware of this video and very thankful for it. He is still performing and playing at his favourite club and is still planning to record and release music!

All good, but wished you had mentioned war drums

Try listening to the bass of this cover version from Hong Kong czcams.com/video/MXop_xSEVCU/video.htmlsi=S1XbvXRCJxeb-Gnx

You know that when someone's favorite Zutomayo song is Study Me, they're immensely *_based_* , unfathomably so 🎸🔥🔥🔥

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE SAYING BUT IM STILL HERE FOR ZUTOMAYO 🔥🔥🗣🗣💯💯❗❗

"Feed the good stuff and don't ever quit." Mighty powerful words for any of us to live by, but even more inspiring and courageous to hear it after sharing your story. Thank you.

There is an amazing live version of a song called "Que tal Londres" (what about London), available on spotify. good music beyond the studio

Bootsy Collins

Tell me something good that was my song. Oh my God that was a year 1974.! also the year of my first born birth!

#10 reminded me of Atlantic Star’s Silver Shadow

The bass line on Prefab Sprout's "Appetite" is a masterpiece too IMHO

Recently found it his my cousin !!! Dude is a badass

Bernard is Music Man

Thank you for talking about my favorite band ever Study Me and Time Left are actually my favorite songs ToT

Have you ever done vids on other Japanese music that includes bass? Hearing your thoughts on this made me wonder if you've done anything on things like Cowboy Bebop's cult classic opening theme 'TANK!'? I'd love to hear your thoughts on things like that now you've dipped your toes into JPop. As part of my sociology degree I've done papers on JPop, anime subculture and Western audiences, so if you're new to this area I could happily point you to a few starting points, but if you're already familiar I would love to hear your thoughts on this part of Japanese music and the influences it took and takes from American Jazz, Blues, etc that have distinct bass lines. 😊

And ...for me ..Dougie Thomson. Bass of Supertramp

this is one of the best resources and videos on getting into reading music with bass, thank you for this 🙏🏻

the bassline on superfly, in isolation, could be cuban

Zutomayo goated

Now I know why I was dancing in Mom's belly in 74" 🤔 🎸🎶

Definitely, "A Subway Called You", by Numan! Numan's Dance LP introduced me to Mick Karn, and to this day, I've not heard anything like this man's playing.

One of my favorite J rock basslines is L'Arc~en~Ciel - Stay Away

It turned out that my taste for Japanese music was justified, there is a lot of good stuff there and I don't like it just because I'm into anime (a bunch of them aren't even from anime). The haters that were the ones biased by their prejudices.

i saw the video title and knew zutomayo was gonna be mentioned LMAOOO

Mick Karn is the absolute goat. Thank you. He is missed

You left out one of the baddest boys of all, Stanley Clarke

I just realized: This bassline is way harder to play than it looks like...

Man I love your show! I think I’m a little bit older than you and I was on the circuit when Brothers Johnson first exploded onto that scene. I played backup for a group called Enchantment and we did a bunch of concerts with them and I have to tell you ,it was MAGIC! When they played he had two cerwin vegas and he ran through a bi-phase and the sound was out of this world! All the musicians would take over his side of the stage to try to figure out what he was doing ! After seeing Brothers Johnson every bass player I saw was trying to play that style.Trying to pop . Most bass players played finger style,nobody played with their thumb.he changed the whole music scene .Some times he would just spank the bass with a open hand like just whoppin it! I saw the whole bass world change in the matter of about two years! And I was lucky to see it .

YES

Benjamin Orr from The Cars played an EBMM for the "Dangerous Type" live on The Midnight Special.

You want to hear crazy Japanese bass? There's a guy who goes by Igo_bass who does crazy covers. Here's on of my favorites. czcams.com/video/e5zJEMbwEv8/video.html

Nate’s in my to 3 all time. Btw, the guitar was played by bandmate, Marlon McClain. Check out his solo on “joyous” One of my fav solos of all time. And their mentioned drummer, Bruce Carter, was extremely underrated. Check out his unique cymbal work in “let’s dance”. Nate puts work in on those tracks also. Pleasure was one of my fav bands. I have all of their recordings and solo efforts

I love EWF And AWB
