Title: Very inspiring video channel
Post by: Chris P. on February 03, 2017, 05:36:31 AM
This is very inspiring. And because of the video angle you can exactly see which notes he plays, so no secrets. I think this is uite a surrealistic way to play bass and I think i'm just not ready for it. Like free jazz. It's far to difficult for me to understand.or maybe you just don't need to understand it. Well, watch, enjoy, learn.

His name is Bono Vox.

Remember his name. Fame!

He's a man of many talents.
Same camera angle so you won't miss a single beat

That was painful.

Are we sure this isn't a joke?

I hope it is a joke...

Yesterday I listened to Africa at least three times. Partly to try to understand if it is a joke or if he's really trying. Second because it's like a car crash: not nice, but you have to watch.

If it is a joke, it is true jokes along those lines have been done before.  Kind of.

My memories of David Hungate's original bass runs to that song weren't quite as chromatic, but maybe I have to listen to it again. This kid certainly has a good set of ears, he finds all the notes that don't fit easily. To lend a phrase from the inimitable Sparks: "Talent is an asset ... and little Bono has it!"

Oh my, looking at the audience in that vid: America and the Maels - Californian as they were - were simply not made for each other back then. Or ever.
