I'm a big fan!

They're a bit different from your usual widdle-meisters because they have a definite sense of fun and put on a bit of a show...

And besides, who needs melody? That's for boy bands

There is an audience for this music, as there is for Jazz and Classical.

 

No one's looking happy on a Royal Philharmonic gig.

 

There was never much of a stage show on a Miles Davis gig.

 

Maybe we should be looking at CB and his genre in the same way, instead of lumbering him with unrealistic expectations.

He’s no longer the worlds best bedroom bassist, he’s off on a global tour with a funny name.

Not my thing but good luck to him. He seems like a lovely guy, good sense of humour and all that.

It's good to see these Youtube musicians going out there and playing live. All three of these guys are fantastic musicians, and they will also be doing a song or two together. Gutted I won't be in the country to see it.

That was just what a wet Saturday afternoon needed. CB is probably the more technically proficient but man DS getting those parts and tones out of a Ric won it for me 🙏

I'd rather listen to Sapko over Berthoud any day!

I do. He used to be a talented classical violin player who stepped into "rock" music.

All of them were. Bernth was the guitarist for Austrian black metal band Belphegor, and Ola Englund has been in a bunch of bands over the years, including Six Feet Under and Scarpoint, and currently plays with The Haunted. He also has his own band, Feared. 

 

I think my point is that, right now, they’re most known for being YouTubers rather than gigging musicians, and it’s good to remind people that they do a lot more than ar$e about in front of a camera.

Nigel Kennedy "no blood, no Bruckner".

 

Venue "no Bruckner no paycheck".

 

There was Bruckner, no blood.
