Astounding Jam.

I may have posted this before , but i dont care. Top there game these legendary musicians. Dwayne (MONO) is a beast on the bass. his playing is way out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_AQh4MCq9s

I now realise I've been playing bass and guitar upside down all these years. No wonder I'm so bad at both.

Is the Bassist playing the chicken and the guitarist playing summat completely different

[FinnDave]

Interesting place to hang your washing out to dry!

[Earbrass]

Can they even hear each other? Sounds like a total mess to me.

[AndyTravis]

Hmm. No. Don't like, sorry.

[ahpook]

That's not jam, it's noodles.

[Dapper Bandit]

I've seen some stuff with Mono that is just jaw-dropping (a microtonal soul band and his mental playalong videos come to mind) but I can't say I'm a fan of this one. Eric always strays into the "lookatmelookatmelookatme" school of playing IMO YMMV and it doesn't shake this particular tailfeather.

Mononeon is well worth further investigation by everyone though, certainly a unique voice on the instrument!

[Thunderbird]

Did not watch all of it I thought it was sh*t tbh but each to their own

[bubinga5]

Can i be honest.

Ive listened to it without a beer, and its not as good. There called beer headphones..

Erics guitar playing is annoying. I will stand by Mono's bass playing though.

[dlloyd]

It's a demonstration in the Dunlop booth at NAMM of Dunlop/MXR/Way Huge pedals... so it's a bit unfair for us to expect anything to be played with taste.

[Thunderbird]

He was like a black hillbilly I was waiting for the banjos and pig squeals to kick in lol

Confession is good for the soul!

My only listening to it was stone cold sober this morning, I appreciate their ability but they don't seem to be playing together really. The bass player is astonishingly good, and astonishingly patient with the rather random guitar work1

To be fair those guys are playing at an industry event, which usually tends to be all about virtuoso show off playing. They're not in a romantic candle lit wine bar, they're showing off chops at an equipment stand.

MonoNeon - the guy is a genius, his playing is completely insane. Eccentric perhaps but a genius musician nevertheless.

And Eric Gales is a pretty crazy character, another musical genius but with a really harsh past. Don't judge these guys by a trade show video, there's much more to them.

[paul_5]

I enjoyed it; the massive amount of delay on the guitar is a bit off putting though.

[Dapper Bandit]

I've got to say, I think every Eric Gales video I've seen has been tradeshow based so I may have to look him up again. He's clearly a player with phenomenal chops so it would be interesting to see how he normally uses them.

[Thunderpaws]

Here he is again with Cody Wright from his band at the same show...just discovered this band....some great stuff.
