@@TuskieeePro musicians don't listen to as much music as you think. During their development, they are ravenous like most. Then they'll usually gravitate to a style. After they choose music, they don't listen for pleasure. Unless something is pushed on them or jumps out at them. They play too much to enjoy music for pleasure. Not all, but most. Just like many chefs don't often eat out, many actors don't watch television or movies unless it's research etc. When your life is consumed with something and it's your livelihood it loses appeal. Long way to say, he's probably not lying. Also consider the age of the song and his age. There's millions of people that haven't heard a song of The Rolling Stones or The Beatles . There's many that haven't even heard of them. Most people's concept of popularity in general is actually quite insular an anecdotal.
I'm blown away that a highly trained professional rock musician from *ENGLAND* has never heard this song. It just goes to show how much music is out there.
Oh, I LOVE THIS format!!! This "guest artist" hears "song" for the first time needs to be done on EVERY instrument being put on YT... I started watching the Drumeo vids, then found Pianote's versions, and now I'm seeing it happen on SBL! LEGEND!!!
He grew up learning classical piano so it's likely that the Stones weren't being played in the house, then when he got into bass, it was likely in the digital era so he was finding things based on recommendations from friends or algorithms, so the likelihood of them coming up was pretty low, unless it was in a movie.
What makes Bill Wyman's bass line so iconic is that it's punchy and sparse, sitting squarely on Charlie Watts' downbeat. He also payed tribute to the mainstream Disco ethos which was popular at the time without actually going there. When NOT to play by dropping out is just as important in providing contrast, counterpoint and dynamics without having to fill the space all the time. A true craftsman, 'Paint it Black' is another amazing example of Wyman's unique prowess. Tina Weymouth is another shining example of sparse and punchy dynamics. Her bass lines are not complicated virtuoso material, but she and her life partner Chris Frantz know how to make people want to get up and dance; 'Once in a Lifetime', 'Psycho Killer', all great tunes with simple yet kick-arse bass lines.. Being an anchor in the rhythm section is a bass player's FIRST priority.
Fun fact: Billy Preston actually came up with the "Miss You" bass line. And I would actually call it busy - "active" as the girl says. You always hear it, especially the octaves. It's not like Maurice' Gibb's lines with the Bee Gees in their great disco songs, where there is lots of space. And yes, Tina is another example of that type.
@@phpn99 Calling Davie a clown just because his content is funny sounds dis. I bet Charles called him in, because he knows that thanks to him his channel blew out. Davie has promoted the bass and bass players with his different series like "Bass Around Sthe Sworld - BASS" lol or the ones where he paid Fiverr musicians to play bass.
Just wanna say, not just as a starting old-timer bass 'fidgeteer'... you guys/gals/whatever are ALL legends to me. And hearing you enjoy this 'old' music makes me like you even more. If I ever reach about one tenth of your talent, I will make sure to thank you all for it. Please keep up the clips - they REALLY help getting excited to play bass!
What makes this song so fantastic is that it’s in a simple term “simple” nothing overly complex and that really leaves it open for interpretation for bass. You could really play any groove over this song and it would sound fantastic.
It's interesting that we all think of Miss You as a disco song but it's really the BASS that makes it disco. Hearing it with the bass removed it just sounds like a blues rock song, which is what I think Charles was trying to play to.
Detroiter here! Amazing to hear he’s not heard this! Just goes to show how exposure differs. I grew up with The Rolling Stones and Beatles. 1967 born. Love this rhythm.
If you're into more technical stuff, metal, and so on, it's easy to miss, or to only hear in some radio/movie at some time in the background, not really paying attention...
Well, if you don't listen to rock n roll radio you might just miss it. There's hundreds and hundreds of popular songs, it's not that crazy to think that one from decades ago slipped through the cracks
I'm 40, I sing in a cover band, we play plenty of RS stuff and I don't remember hearing Jumpin' Jack Flash until a couple of years ago. Sometimes life's just weird. What made me wonder was him not even knowing the band. I mean... Mick Jagger is a dead giveaway.
@@MaximusChivus One of the most famous songs of one of the most famous rock and roll band of all time. A British band, should I add. Charles is British, I don't buy that he never heard ''Miss You'' or even recognized Mick's voice.
This really shows how IMPORTANT bass players are in a band. The original one is so in that kind of disco vibe and Charles just makes is way more soulful.
This has always been one of my favourite Stones songs and one that's always been super fun to jam on, super cool hearing his take on one of Bill Wyman's funkiest bass parts and he absolutely killed it
Actually as the story goes, Bill Wyman did not play it. He was not in the room when someone who worked in the studio asked if he could play the bass, as he had an idea….
I love Charles' amazing slap/tap amazingness, but, wow, just to hear him in the pocket grooving was incredible. I mean, I know he's no one trick pony, but it was refreshing and so tasty.
Miss You has a very special place in my heart, specifically because of the time me and my friend were drunkenly wandering through the streets of Sheffield at 3am belting it out
This was a real treat. This was one of the tunes I had to learn for the first cover band I played with and to see Charles having never heard it or even identify the band is mind blowing. Wow!
Classy and session as hell overall, for sure, but he took very interesting and fitting liberties with it in a way that only a really seasoned and talented musician could.
Since I never really listened to the stones, this was the first video of this kind I really did not know the song of myself. Now I feel the pressure this man must go through
Well, because I'm old-ish, I was going to make some snide remark about never having heard The Stones "Miss You", but tbh, I actually liked his bassline better than the disco-ish original. His was more thoughtful, modernized, musical even. So I'm glad the original didn't taint his choices. Rock On, Charles! Great job!
I realize Charles is fairly young and the Stones are very old, but how could a rock bassist with decades of experience like Charles have never heard this music before?!
To be honest, I'm around Charles' age and I've probably had zero (conscious) exposure to the RS. I didn't grow up with it (in my head it was always Beatles vs Rolling Stones and I was a Beatles person) If I've heard any of their songs before I wouldn't be aware of it cause it just happened to be on the radio and none of it struck me enough for me to look up who it was.
@@lydsri Same. People are too closed-minded to others' experiences. It's easily possible not to have heard plenty of famous works. The music world is too big for any one musician to catch them all-which is what allows the format to even work in the first place. In fact, I looked it up after seeing this comment section, and other than Paint It Black, which is the only Rolling Stones song I'd have instantly named as theirs on hearing, I'd only recognise Satisfaction, and wouldn't have until today known it was Rolling Stones. Never heard Miss You before despite being a gigging bassist for decades.
I'm old enough that I have heard a *lot* of 70s rock, and I can probably only identify 3 rolling stones songs. I've probably heard more than that in grocery stores or whatever, but not consciously. So someone 20 years younger than me, I can easily see not having heard deep cuts.
Yes, even though the Stones have still been touring around the world, their music (except for a small number of songs) isn't as present in public memory - much different than songs by The Beatles or Hendrix, of which most people know more than they're aware
So funny that you posted this because a few weeks ago I played a gig on bass where I didn't know what the set list was going to be. They called this song and I had never heard it before. All I got was in the 10 seconds leading up to the song someone sang that melody to me.
Nice job Charles! I blame your parents for you not being Stones aware lol. This clip went a bit off the rails on the playback of the original mix - I felt like the conversation was covering up some of the most distinctive parts of Wyman's line. It might be fun to play the isolated bass track back for the guest sometime (or at least a bass-forward mix).
Wish you had more of his reaction to the original line. Wyman is amazing. Do Emotional Rescue -would love to see what someone comes up with. (I know....Ronny Wood played bass on it, but still)
@@viniciuscmaia I don’t listen to Dua Lipa or Billie Eilish, but if you go shopping or turn on the radio, there is almost no chance to avoid their music
Would love a collab with other instrumental channels, where you let the different musicians each blindly come to with their own part, like this, and then you put all recorded tracks together.
Thanks for having me on this one, so much fun!! 🙌🏻
Top notch Bass Skills!
You killed it Charles!!
You are amazing, Charles!!
Awesome as ever 👍👍
Bass is Knowledge
Bass is power
Bass is awesome.
Keep the great job Charles.
More of this format please. And thank you Drumeo for figuring out this format and bringing it to the music world.
There's also @PianoteOfficial doing the same thing
Absolutely killer format.
As a guitarist, it's brutal how bad Guitareo is in comparison to Drumeo.
They need to take a lesson for sure.
Less of this format pls. Never hearing this song as a musician is so unbelievable
It’s a silly click bait gimmick at best.. so and so hears marry had a little lamb the first time! Oh, ok

The great thing is that I FINALLY get to feel superior to Charles Berthoud about SOMETHING!
@@MrGitBoyProbably not. It's fairly common with musicians.
@@pitpride1220 sorry, what is fairly common?
@@MrGitBoy Pro musicians not being aware of popular music. Should've clarified.
Love the fact that the man, with all his knowledge and technical skill chose to play what's right for the track. Mad respect.
I am BEYOND excited that SBL FINALLY chose to showcase this song somewhere, somehow. Funkiest bass line the Stones brought forth - thanks SBL!
👍👍👍
10000%
I really like how he handled the bridge and the quiet part after it. The disco octaves were right on for me as well.

I love the series, I love Charles....more please!!!!
More to come!!
How it is even possible that guy like Charles never heard this song. I can’t believe.
The last time I heard it was around 1980.
He grew up learning classical piano so it's likely that the Stones weren't being played in the house, then when he got into bass, it was likely in the digital era so he was finding things based on recommendations from friends or algorithms, so the likelihood of them coming up was pretty low, unless it was in a movie.
He certainly has at some point
I disagree. I’m 76 and I still hear ‘older’ music that I’ve never hear before.
Me neither.

Great take there Charles, love it!
If you were to bring Davie504 here, you should let him do all the memes and the editing :P
This channel just keeps getting better and better! ❤
It’s very hard to believe he never heard this song. Cmon
I would bet you Bill Wyman doesn't even own a bass as young as Charles... The last time I heard this song in the wild was probably before he was born!

So glad this drumeo format is catching on. How has Charles never heard this❤
This is the difference between a perfectly fine and professionally played bass line and a history making bass line
Make no mistake, Charles Berthoud is one of the best bassists on the planet.
💯💯💯
I had the same reaction when I first heard “Happy Birthday”
These never get old. And Charles never disappoints.
Please get Nathan East. We would want to see his process
The problem with him would be finding a song he doesn't know, because he played on all of them 😅
@@thewaldfe9763 That's true 🤣
Yeah, the issue there is finding the tune for him!! 😅😅😅
@@devinebass Give him Meshuggah or something 😆
Something by sunn o)))?
His take was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes 🥹
Scott our whole tones and chord tones the same thing you guys are greatly appreciate everything you do thank you so much
That was nice!! Thanks for sharing.
This really shows how IMPORTANT bass players are in a band. The original one is so in that kind of disco vibe and Charles just makes is way more soulful.
This First Time series is why I'm subscribed. Getting Charles was a major score.
Charles Bear Two is the man! He got through music school without hardly hearing 'bout them Rolling Stones. Way to go Chas!
No Scott this time but we get YHE FANTASTIC MS SHAZZ,,,,YESS🌈 thank you both SO MUCH 🎸🤠 from Arkansas USA.

100%, there is a lot more to Charles than the flash he does!
Guy Pratt would be so fun see doing this, and great job Charles!
Charles is from another galaxy we need Danny Sapko next...he plays the BEHS!
Charles is a frickn anomaly on the bass. It's such a treat to see and hear his genius.
🧡🧡🧡
Charles is such a monster!
I love it that he picked up on the octave popping and the damn foam too… dude just knows 🤷🏼♂️💯🖤 bring in Davie504
He really is an absolute monster!
This is a GREAT format!! I always love SBL videos, but you've really got something here.
More to come!!
Miss You has a very special place in my heart, specifically because of the time me and my friend were drunkenly wandering through the streets of Sheffield at 3am belting it out
I have not heard this song before either. So definitely believable. Obviously heard stones songs but this doesn’t ring a bell
This was a real treat. This was one of the tunes I had to learn for the first cover band I played with and to see Charles having never heard it or even identify the band is mind blowing. Wow!
Super fun! It's great to these incredibly talented musicians react to popular songs through their bass. So much fun!!
Just scary how well Charles recreated the feel that Bill Wyman put down - without ever hearing the song or Bill's part.
This gave me significantly more respect for Charles’s depth as a musician, his instincts are great
💯💯💯
My favourite Stones track. Loved the rundown in the outro.
Classy and session as hell overall, for sure, but he took very interesting and fitting liberties with it in a way that only a really seasoned and talented musician could.
I love that you guys are doing this. I watch the Drumeo stuff all the time and had been hoping that someone would do this with bass.
charles is so much gifted i wish i could afford that schecter bass...soon
Charles is one of my inspiration to play bass.
Yeah, Nathan East!!!!!
so great!!! how has he never heard this before. Feeling pretty old...
More of this format please, love it a lot
More to come!!
Do this with Danny Sapko. He’ll make a great line. This guy was a good sport and all, though
Now that was fun, and creative. Genius!
Another great episode! You guy's are killin' it! Along with Davy504; I'd love to see Danny Sapko. He would be a blast with you guys!
Well done Charles! Another great video!

really amazing, it would be damn cool if we could see another charles vs. davie contest...i love both of them!
I can't believe this.
Absolutely love this song.
Viejo, no puede ser que no haya escuchado ese HIMNO de los Stones.
Pensaba lo mismo.. quizá pasa algo similar al fenómeno "Ramones" (en Argentina)
es que son re fomes, no creo que sea un gran tema el que eligieron
Posta, tenes q vivir en un taper
Thanks for this. Great stuff. Charles showing just how awesome he is playing what works for the song
Stellar performance.
no joke, right before the end I was thinking "...they gotta get Davie504 on this"!!!!
Great premise, I'm glad you are doing more! Love Charles, too.
More to come, glad you enjoyed it!!
I want to see Victor Wooten go through this kind of challenge!
We would LOVE to have Vic on to do this!!
This was amazingly awesome!
I don’t understand how no one could’ve heard this song before.
I love it. ❤ Thank you.
Btw did anyone else think that Charles make a cool regea song from a rock-'n'-roll one?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Love when you have this format of videos. Charles killed it!!!
Cheers, and yeah, Charles was awesome, so happy he agreed to do this with us!
That was nice. Nice to see him in a studio setting.
It's nice that Charles mentioned Davie
Ian, it's Keith playing bass on this track originally just btw
Nice job Charles! I blame your parents for you not being Stones aware lol. This clip went a bit off the rails on the playback of the original mix - I felt like the conversation was covering up some of the most distinctive parts of Wyman's line. It might be fun to play the isolated bass track back for the guest sometime (or at least a bass-forward mix).
that was a joy to watch, see the gears going around in Charles head
Wish you had more of his reaction to the original line. Wyman is amazing. Do Emotional Rescue -would love to see what someone comes up with. (I know....Ronny Wood played bass on it, but still)
No way has he not heard that
Get Danny Sapko for an episode. Love this format!
I could never understand how a musician can not know such popular songs.
I would be more worried if he didn't know "Satisfaction" or "Paint It Black".
Even musicians has musical preferences and sometimes a popular song is not the type of song that you like and usually hears.
@@viniciuscmaia I don’t listen to Dua Lipa or Billie Eilish, but if you go shopping or turn on the radio, there is almost no chance to avoid their music
@lmfap79. You think youre cooler for not listening to them?

Very cool, Charle's great and so is Davie504, i'm looking forward for him to play with you
How is it possible to have not heard this song ng before?
The original bass line is nice, but I prefer Charles’s approach. He skillfully glued the drums and melodic vocal lines without overdoing it.
Can't believe he hasn't heard miss you
I recall hearing something about Billy Preston having something to do with showing Bill Wyman this bass part and he went with it...
Dan Briggs from between the buried and me / trioscapes would be super interesting for this format!
How are you British and haven’t heard this song
The whole world knows this song!
