Lovefool - Pomplamoose (Live) - The Cardigans 

Sam Wilkes. He's a legend.

So stank. Amazing.

Sam wilkes

Man, he fuckin' that bass up! I love hearing people play that good with four-string bass guitars. To me, it seems like people are all over the five and six-string, but not very many people appreciate the four-string any more.

The pigeon bassist

Jack is awesome!

I never thought I'd think a band was adorable, but his energy and her semi lost look definitely are.

I have no passion for your cat.

looks like he is on meth

I don't know. When the bass overplays on the verses I want to turn this off. And the POP POP versus Cardigans single hit and walk from the third, the charm gets lost. And the Rhodes piano makes me think smooth jazz or Grover Washington Jr. or ... Looking Glass - you know, "Brandy, such a fine girl"... . This is a bass player showing off while simultaneously missing pretty important elements of the original. for the sake of showing off chops, takes away from the whole performance. It just doesn't groove. The original bass line makes this: The syncopation with the keyboard and drums on those strong POP POPs, and the bass just hits the first note of that and walks to 3, then 4. It works really really well. And in this one the guitar player is nowhere to be found to hit the verse melody line during that transition, "So I cry, and I beg..." Ack! And then the definite smooth jazz swank down at the end. Stab me dead, just awful. Obviously great musicians, but I think some arrangement decisions were really bad ideas. The original song is literally one of the best songs ever. And a big part of that is that unique shipwrecked nautical keyboard tone, the fuzz guitar counterpart to the vocal melody in transition, the beautiful clean guitar harmonics that sound like a harp. Clearly people love this version, and I am completely WRONG. But the bass line is way off. Pull it back, stop overplaying, lay in the pocket, use that beautiful staggered walk that the Cardigans used, let the keyboard and drums hit it together, it's like the whole band is hitting the melody, and it is painful. It sounds dumb when everybody hits those strong notes together without the walk. And, sorry for being a critical jerk. Most of their tunes and interpretations are pretty darn good. Not saying anything about the chops, but give the bass player a chill pill and play him the original.

I like the bass tone.

@@DarthMaui agreed, and the mix on the bass was a bit hard hitting compared to the rest of the accompaniment.

@@ftwopointeight Seems they have a rotating cast of bassists, and obviously the dude has chops. But the guy that is sitting in on Something About Us and Bigger Better Faster Stronger just hangs in there and it is PERFECT. So good.

@@DarthMaui that would be Nick Campbell. Check out his channel Nick Campbell Destroys. Good stuff.

I'm a bass player and immediately went.. "good lord that bass playing!!!" really awesome tone, punch and chops!

Likewise. "Been playing bass for 20 years on and off, and I will never be that good :'("

those muted notes tho

THANKS! I was desperately trying to find that song, to listen that bass, from that guy, Sam. Everything he plays gets 10 extra points!

Erik Klein - I'm a tuba player and thought the exact same thing! I knew I wasn't the only one.

And Nataly is a human metronome.

Just love how Sam and Jack are just grooving away to the beat in the back

I wish they played a whole cover in this style.

Lol when the drumer played that fill it sounded like it was goin into careless whispers

When I heard that little hook in the beginning I was wondering why it sounded so familiar. I just couldn't tap into what song it could have been until I saw your comment.

Jack is the CEO of Patreon. Plays with Scary Pockets as well.

I don't know why y'all can't recognize David Cross when you're looking at him.

Idiot. I laughed and woke up the house.

If I could play with this rhythm section ans these singers, I'd be in heaven too!

Brandon Reventlow Oh that is so sweet! Good luck on your journey to sobriety, coming from a 13 year old violinist. Music does seem to be a really good way to take your mind of off things.
