couldn’t have said it better myself. I don’t know bass, I kinda know drums, but when his parts come up I just start pretending like I’m playing bass 😂😂😂
I dare anyone call this bass play "busy". This is brilliant musicianship that steps up to allow the bassist to roam the frets freely, picking those perfect notes. These guys are a perfect team, really wanna see them live.
+Ryan Sullivan He's very busy! But he's also BRILLIANT at combing "busy," tasteful, virtuostic-like licks within the context of a song/groove/riff. And therein lies some of Henrik Linder's brilliance. He's set a new precedent for bass pedagogy, not only re: playing AMAZING, IMAGINATIVE bass lines w/n the context of a song, but also during his solos as well. A true phenomenon!
+Robert Kaye Playing lots of notes isn't "busy". "Busy", at least when I have heard it used, refers to when someone adds constant notes that might be considered out of place. Henrik keeps it extremely tight whilst adding movements...you know what, screw it. Maybe it's busy but who gives a crap. It's pure musical genius. He is THE bass player of our time. Numero uno. Jaco part 2.
Actually you're both right in a way. The only problem with true busy playing is when the bassist steps on top on the drummer and the lead instrument trying to make their self noticed, and it always results in a train wreck. The really awesome thing about this trio is every instrument, including the lead's vocal is working extreme overtime which allows Henrik to take up all that space with amazing bass notes. These guys are truly fucking awesome, that's the general consensus lol.
20 out of 10 for fun, chops and just general amzingness-, how can you even come up with such brilliance?! That laughter and scream are the best!! 😅😂🤣🥲🥲
Getting a little obsessed with this band. The bass is crazy good, and I love how they’re having fun jamming together. A very talented group. God bless 🙏❤️
When Aron screams at the end, that's exactly how I feel just listening to them and I've been studying this for well over a year now. I've never said "Wow" so many times in my life every time I hear them. EVERYTHING sounds wimpy after them.
+Bert Berw Glad I saw this band mentioned, well done 👍 Other great musicians on par with this level of musicality include Jack Garratt and Jacob Collier, check them out as well 👌
No bizarre outfits, sexy moves, innuendo BS. Just great musicianship and these guys are an inspiration. They dont brag or make out they are special, just extremely talented guys who make normally boring songs into works of art.
One of my favorite albums of old days for those of you who can remember was Gino Vannelli's Brother To Brother album. Look it up. These guys are on that level, they are truly incredible!
Henrik is one of the nastiest bassist I have ever heard. 1:08-1:30 is absolutely amazing and clean. Listening to the musicianship of Dirty Loops is both refreshing and depressing (Henrik's lines make you want to give up playing the bass). The Drummer, Keys, and Vocals are all off the charts too. Musically, I think Baby, Circus, and Just Dance are as good as music gets today. Thanks for making real music! Keep them coming and I will be the first in line when your CD comes out.
I can't believe how spoiled we are today in regards of sound quality. I remember hearing this back in 2011 and feeling like this was really high def stuff. Amazing how far we've come in such a short time.
To the lead singer, your vocal is so impressive! I LOVE your runs; you hear some seriously sweet chords in the music and hit just the right notes to compliment them. All of you who are part of this group are amazingly talented musicians, and I appreciate each of you equally. Tell your bass player he is insane and seriously knows how to funk-a-fy his instrument to it's full grove capacity. You are all seriously incredible. Keep it up! -Huge Fan :)
this drummer is very influenced by totos jeffrey thomas porcaro, he is using exactly the same fill as him of beginning of this video. jeff plays that same fill at totos - you got me song on 2:08 - 2:12. and of course lot of other fusionbands has taken lots of influences from toto. playing famous covers is an OLD idea but if you do it like this guys. so dirty bassline and that flowing hihat, my god!! dirty, what else can you say?? nothing
Henrik Wigum Fairly certain the mixing engineer is using a drum trigger, like Trigger 2, which lets you get those crazy crisp sounds. It sounds amazing!
The singer/pianist is the audio engineer and mixed the whole thing. Also, the sound is created by using a highly tweaked compressor. This was extremely popular in the 80s and 90s, usually combined with a noise gate after the compressor, I don't hear one of those here though. Don't forget most "triggered" snare sounds start with a real snare. For your health!
I can't stop watching this video. As a musician it's inspring... as a listener it's sublime. All three of these guys are SO fucking SOLID. A new standard of excellence.
