    • @drewdavis2392
      @drewdavis2392 Před 5 lety

      I was thinking that's a in-joke. Perhaps guitar was banned from PMJ (at least in season 1), so they're poking fun at themselves -- and perhaps announcing that that ban has been lifted for S2. But that's all just speculation.

    • @OneSneakySloth
      @OneSneakySloth Před 5 lety

      Drew Davis if they did ban it, it would have had to be after the Barbie Girl cover- I guess it's more like banned sounds like band? Or like you said, that they often don't use them?

    • @thomasriddle7005
      @thomasriddle7005 Před 5 lety +1

      The whole story joke was that this was set in the near future with "postPostmodern" instruments , that is basically buttons that played predeveloped series of sounds with no thought going into them. Guitar was probably banned in that time period because it was to radical or something. They were playing from the behind the counter stash. It's a fun dig at how electronic music could evolve but more importantly how awesome old school is. Everyone is getting all upset about what postmodern jukebox has always been about.

    • @sporf_sporf
      @sporf_sporf Před 5 lety +2

      PMJ has never been about pretentious digs at other styles of music. It's never been about tearing down the new, just mixing it with the old.

    • @drewdavis2392
      @drewdavis2392 Před 5 lety

      If they had a ban at all (and remember, I'm just speculating), I think it would just have been a humorous way to put their preferred styles. A "covers of pop/rock, but with no guitars!" kind of thing. Certainly they use them when they need to, especially the bass guitar. (No way to do Motown without one of those, with all due respect to their upright string bass players.)

      Back when the video first released, the comments were pretty much the opposite of what you're describing. There was a whole bunch of haters berating PMJ for even daring to try something new, and the defence was mix of "Wow, I like it!" and "Not my cuppa, but I'm glad you're trying new things from time to time." I'm guessing someone's done a good job of getting rid of the haters, as both groups you're describing were in defence of the video.

    As a self-proclaimed lover of all things music "except jazz" PMJ has had me questioning myself for years. I thought it was just envy of the oozing sexiness of the girls that I would love to embody, but this has just proven to me that it's actually about the pure perfection of adapting musical styles that has made PMJ a go-to of mine every time. Thank you for opening my eyes to the possibility of jazz and how men can ooze that ooziness too. Recently subscribed to Scottlee too. I'm recently separated from an 18 year relationship and your music used to make me feel sexy all alone in my kitchen. Now, it's my soundtrack to my newly found self-love and my budding new chance at love. Thank you so much 💖

    Love their brilliant take on every cover. Toto song is amazing, but what they did to it, this is just incredible. Love how they play it and sing it. Wonderful. He put his heart into it, but I do appreciate when they let the ladies sing, with powerful voices, but it is cool, just he doesn't have the voice for it, but enjoys doing it as it looks like.

    I fell in love with PMJ because their live one-take videos were incredible, the energy that the musicians put into the performance was irresistible. I aspire to be that type of performer! The editing/production of this somehow loses that magic. I can see how animated Casey and Scott are but I can't *feel it* in this format because the editing doesn't match the performance, I'm not as engaged or not drawn in like I was with Stacey's Mom, Creep, Duck Tales etc. We've lost that raw talent that the one-take gave us. I can't *see* how talented these musicians really are as it's lost in the format. I'm not a purist or against change (I'm happy to see you experimenting with content, I like the skit at the beginning) but the editing/format of the actual music section has lost the magic and power that I know PMJ can deliver. There's not many groups out there that create live one-take style content so, respectfully from a fan, I love the one-take style performances, it's what makes you special, please don't lose sight of that that!

      The irony is that the entire point of the opening sketch is about that very thing. The other people are into a button that plays pre-recorded, heavily-edited music while Mr. Manbun is showing them live instruments in one take.

  • @wanimusician
    @wanimusician Před 5 lety +146

    Good thing: the MV style allows close up to everyone in the video, giving a chance for people to see all the musicians.
    Less good thing: it loses the live singing feel that we all love about PMJ videos.
    Oh well, we can't expect them to stay exactly the same forever, they will want to evolve and try different thing at some point. So, we'll see where this goes.
    P/S: Casey Abrams and Tambourine Guy in one video were everything!
