xilddx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Absolutely f***ing awesome! Thanks for that Laimis! I have a gig tonight, and this has made me desperate to get on that stage and rip it up! I watched this band rehearsing at the BBC for the Live at the BBC gig a few years ago. They were superb! The drummer in the foreground with the long dark hair was soundchecking the kit and suddenly launched into a massive display of Bozzio-like madness, and promptly got told off by the BBC engineer on the desk saying there's no way I can get you a sound if you do that, rack tom 1 please.

risingson Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Great stuff, that's the kind of effort that should go into all pop music. Really enjoyed watching it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Apple Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Aye, it's OK, but, I like the other version where they're dressed in swimming cozzies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 sh*t. I have so much to do today before going to the venue. And I can't get out the house for watching this damn video on constant repeat! And that synth bass is bloody stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Pop music, IMO, has taken a turn in the right direction recently. Some superb live bands with vocalists eg this, Gaga, and Bruno Mars. Cool video. Live pop like that looks like so much fun to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceH Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The vocals are superb...but not overly fussed about the rest of the band, competent but not exactly the NPG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Isn't it weird how simple little basslines can set off an audience like that?! Something for guitarists to be aware of. Stick a great drummer with a bassist and a lot of fun can be had! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Well, those gymnastics look a bit ridiculous, though the grooves were really tasty, and that Jazz sounded fabulous, For those who were not touched by the band's playing - it's a little something Beyonce's drummer does after she finishes rehearsing with BC..... I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's just a proof, what kind of monsters sit behind all these RnB/pop stars.. Gospelchops allowed.

[/quote]I know a few drummers who, had they been 'told off' by an engineer (BBC or not), would have presented said engineer with a nice bit of bling...in the shape of a snare drum necklace. EDIT: Thinking about it, I know a bass player who would be none too happy about either Edited January 21, 2012 by SteveK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Divinity Roxx is no to be underestimated......... Showoff? No. Tasteful and musical? Yes. She is a very clever woman, and is the MD for the whole shabang. She also works very closely with Beyonce in the studio I believe. The wife is a big fan....... Honest! Seen Beyonce live and it was a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Loved the video, i love this sort of stuff, hearing it as it was played rather than over produced. And i thought she looked sexier dressed like that than most of the cosutmes she wears. Just saying Edited January 21, 2012 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Not in a position to post a vid right now, but Deja vu has to be the best Beyonce bassline! When you see her live you realise that every single member of the band is an extremely talented musician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithless Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Is it just me, or this [i]sort [/i]of music sounds so much better when performed Live rather than the 'studio' versions with programmed drums, effects, etc? But then, I wonder why do most of artists stick with this 'synthetic' type of sound approach in studio applications - keeping in mind, that they certainly are in command of what's needed - the right money and right musicians to do the [i]real [/i]thing... Any thoughts on this? I was thinking of pop/RnB acts who uses real musicians in studio environment to cover most of the music (drums, guitars, keys,effects,etc) , and couldnt think of anyone else, but only D'Angelo... Any more? Edited January 21, 2012 by Faithless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I expect most people's answer on a site like this would be the same, but I think everything in pop music should be done like this. Live musicians is always where it's at. If you've got the money behind you like Beyonce has then it would be totally shameful to be singing live to tracks. There's no musical integrity to be had from it and your everyday Radio One listener has become totally numb to this fact. They're much wiser to it in the U.S than they are to it here though. You just don't get the same level of importance placed on live musicians in the U.K anymore, and it's so very depressing, considering our popular musical heritage.

geoffbassist Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Risingson you are so right. Where's the x factor band? At least Strictly has a band. This is a great thread. Im loving the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
