I think I've seen this before, it's like a smugness contest.

[WWRRSS]

thats just horrible.

[JordanRLS]

I've just realised how truly awful laptop speakers are for hearing a bass guitar

[4-string-thing]

I could only stomach a minute and a half of this drivel....

[budget bassist]

I don't even need to press play to know that i'm instantly going to dislike that video. Bass solo my arse.

[bartelby]

I'm not clicking play!
Are there any drills involved?

I'm never really sure what I'm supposed to do whilst such musical capery goes on! Am I expected to dance?

[Buzz]

In a twist from the usual fair, I quite liked that.

[karlfer]

I haven't listened.
I'm p****d off enough at having to learn Daddy, brother, lover, mother, cover, bugger, whatever it's called.

Two incredible and venerable musicians playing music that they love?

That video is immense, I'm getting major doses of bass player envy from this thread.

I often find the "You're just jealous" riposte a bit simple, but in this case it's hilarious. That performance is literally one of the s*****t things I've ever seen.

[dudewheresmybass]

just trying to work out why they both felt the need to use twin-necked instruments

[ThomBassmonkey]

Mr Big is the only band of that style I can stomach. Gilbert has a touch of taste instead of the bland widdlefest some others call music.

[SteveO]

Its just a little bit of ostentatious posing that the merkins seem to appreciate. I have to admit to never being a fan of either of these guys, but would have thought that they could have come up with something a bit more exciting than just playing the same notes in unison - apart from the few widdly bits that billy cant keep up with.

[bartelby]

Just managed 47 seconds an got bored!
I'm a bit of a Sheehan fan, I love Niacin, the first DLR album was great, as was the first Mr Big album. But that video is just clichéd and dull.

I'm wondering if Paul Gilbert is listening to something interesting on those big headphones...

[MIJ-VI]

IMO they're both excellent musicians who compose and play well together.

[whimsy23]

As nice as it is, for me, that is some guy playing guitar on a bass, not playing bass.

[MIJ-VI]

Here's some guy playing cello on bass:

[Rosh]

This is the kind of thing I think is wrong with the world, it's the "up-yer-own-arse-ness" of the whole thing!

It's not even that great!

It's hardly this kind of virtuosity:

The bloke playing the bass is a midget no?

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

Is the song called soggy biscuit?

[paul h]

I liked it.

I liked the bit when the car crashed off the cliff.

I might have drifted off a bit.

The two dudes playing DB are awesome. I'd listen to that over the Gilbert -Sheehan thingy any day of the week.
