@@Guy.mp4. Coronal Mass Ejection. It's something the sun does seemingly randomly in random directions ever few decades or so, mostly around big Sunspots. The last time a big one hit earth was in the days of telegram messaging and early electronics, during what is known as The Carrington Event, which peaked on the first and second day of september, 1859. Not only did basically every piece of copper on the planet start melting and making electrical fires because of the EMP waves washing over everything, these waves were so strong that some telelgram operators could work their devices WITHOUT THEM BEING PLUGGED IN. There was enough ambient energy to send a telegram signal just washing over everything and making electricity in anything conductive. While this wasn't much of an issue back in 1859, maybe a few messages were lost and a few fires needed to be put out, nowadays a CME the size of the Carrington Event would be DEVASTATING to the world's economy and industry, because so much of our society relies entirely on electronics, electronics that are NOT shielded sufficiently enough to survive such a powerful CME. Basically every device we have, from GPS in cars to controls of airplanes to phones to THE ENTIRETY OF THE INTERNET down to the thermostat on your wall and the fan you use in the summer would have every single electric component melted into useless slurry, starting electrical fires and bursting phone batteries. Every piece of electronic tech we rely on to get food to people and keep food cold and make clean water and transport coal to power plants and light up dark places, would be instantly unusable and possibly hazardous to be around. This includes the internet servers google has, that stores these wonderful pieces of our culture like the A-train Sax Battle. Everything on the internet would be instantly and irrevocably lost, and the world would be plunged into a dark age, and this could happen any year now, without much warning if any. It could take humanity a century to recover, but every internet meme that wasn't written down or protected from an EMP somewhere would be lost forever, so I suggest we make an archive of these awesome moments that exist only on the internet, and put them in a place shielded from EMP.

The reason people love the second guy’s initial reaction so much is because of the relatability. When you’re the perfect person for a certain moment and you have a chance to shine you take it
@@TiiqawxHD in jazz, there's so much improvisation anyway that if you're good enough, you start picking up on the cues and you can play off each other like that, even without practice. The fact that they both played similar instruments (one's a bari, one's a tenor) meant they were able to anticipate what the other was comfortable and familiar with. That's probably why they both improved on "Chameleon" for a bit there.
You just know there’s one guy who has had a bad day and really isn’t in the mood for this, and when the second sax player showed up he was like “OH SONUVABITCH”
I don't think so. Happiness is as contagious as unhappiness, if not more so- and the train was filled with good vibes. I doubt even someone having a bad day could resist for 5 minutes straight.
I'm usually on the A train and usually am in a bad mood because I hate commuting by train. And I dislike all subway performers because I like to close my eyes and sleep on the train. However, this would have made my day and brought me joy. I probably would of tipped both of them.

There is something incredibly powerful about this video. Not in like a memey, this video has a crazy aura type powerful, but like a transcendent, uplifting positive energy that shows a concentrated example of us, humanity, enjoying ourselves unimpeded for six minutes of insanley coincidental, outrageous bliss. To get to brass tacks, basically: this video is a beautiful display of what we're capable of. We can learn a thing or two from them. Like how these two players keep on playing even when they get out of sync in places, we have to keep going no matter how hard it gets. Even when it seems like thing are breaking down, we can always pull it back.
But this would never happen and not be recorded in this day and age. You’re right though if my parents or grandparents told me this it would be hard to believe
That's the best part! He doesn't care that he's shit, as long as you have faith in this stupid shit that you're doing it will never be perceived weird/stupid just so fucking retarded that its cool. Remember that.
I fucking love this video. Anytime it pops up on my feed I will immediately click on it every time. This is a legendary piece of human history. I absolutely love everyone's reaction when the second saxophonist walks up, just the collective "OH SHIT, IT JUST GOT REAL." This is such a beautiful clip of the human experience.
Seriously, this might be my favorite video on TH-cam. The contents therein are my personal answer to the question "what is music supposed to feel like". The cavemen of millennia past began banging on hollow logs to eventually lead up to this moment.
The way the second sax dude assembled his instrument like it was a goddam Sniper rifle and kept lookin back at the first sax guy like, “u better keep doin what ur doin” gave me chills
Saw this video when it first went viral over 10 years ago and now I just saw this dude open for Coheed and Cambria and Primus with his band Too Many Zooz. Life is crazy.
Dude. I'd call out for this... Fuck it. I'm now gonna be 4 hours late for work. Lol. Might as well call out at this point. This would be worth it. I work at a music store. My work would understand. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He ruined it by claiming he can't dance. It would have been even more surreal watching a sax battle, 2 old heads soul clapping and then this white shirt guy bopping around.
@@johncraven6671 Their a Baritone and a Tennor sax, so they have different roles, the bass sax just sets the pace, and the Tennor is playing off it. The times their not doing this, they switch to a "call and response" method, which is what one does the other will other respond to. EXample is when they go silly high (the baritone one strains and sounds a bit elephant-y, its really not meant to do that high).
When they start screaming and warbling and the song kinda disappears, I feel like that's them saying BRO I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS??
Every couple months I come back to this video and rewatch. Literally brings tears to my eyes. This is and always will be the greatest video on the internet.
Their friendship's backstory got a whole lot better, I can already tell that this will be an important flashback when they face the final boss together.
Also I recognized at least one of the melodies (4:04) they were messing around with as a very well-know chart (Chameleon, by Herbie Hancock), so they had some idea what was going on. Still impressive, though.

Bœœm bælœœgæ
Get back to work and next time, don’t use your work account for TH-cam!
@@gameratortylerstein5636 hey this is his job
A worthy appointment, our battle will be legendary
Saw this video when it first went viral over 10 years ago and now I just saw this dude open for Coheed and Cambria and Primus with his band Too Many Zooz. Life is crazy.
“My stop was three stops ago but I don’t wanna miss this...”
The stop doesn’t matter in these cases
You can always take the subway back to your stop, but you can only see this once
I'd miss finals on purpose to witness this live
Dude. I'd call out for this... Fuck it. I'm now gonna be 4 hours late for work. Lol. Might as well call out at this point. This would be worth it. I work at a music store. My work would understand. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man this was uploaded in TH-cam?
I was freaking there...was soo nice to witness
The dude in the white shirt is like the kid who didn't do any of the work on a group project but presented it in the end
He more than makes up for it with the charisma
But he carried the reporting tho
As an introvert, I deeply appreciate those groupmates.
@@johnrayordas aye. I can drink to that
Hes the popular kid who everyone respects so he presents lmao
The fact that the people said “oh shit” when they saw the second saxophone player made me die laughing😂😂like they knew some sh*t was about to go down
Ikr lol
Shit's going down...and it's become a legend
Why did you bleep it if you already said it?😂
@@mr.wilkie2323 just caught that right now lmao😭I have no idea
@@Clover-jv3ox lmao🤣🤣
Every so often, I'm reminded that this exists, and I get so happy
The guy in white probably just experienced the best trip of his entire life
He didn’t even know it was real he probably thought he imagined everything
🤣
@@chungabunga1169 To be fair it feels more like a really tame hallucination than a real interaction between people
He ruined it by claiming he can't dance. It would have been even more surreal watching a sax battle, 2 old heads soul clapping and then this white shirt guy bopping around.
Both on acid and the train
I like how they take turns being lead. True duelists.
they may be in a battle, but they still play fair
*Professionals have standards*
ITS TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-DUEL!!
Lmao
@@josephdoria5237 *Be polite, be efficient, have a plan to kill everyone you meet*
The person driving the train: What the _hell_ is happening back there???
The people on the train: GODLYNESS!!!
Just NYC things. ;)
Lol
This comment made me literally lol! Haha
Conductor 2: Something seems...*FUNKY*.
i cant be the only person that comes back to this every so often
Kudos to the guy who couldn't dance for shit but danced anyways
I- jahajahahha
Thats what i imagine life was before everything was put on the internet
I aspire one day to give that little fucks, literally man is just enjoying some good ass music and having a good time. Respect
That dude has to be one of the most annoying creatures ever imagined by the most insane human being in the history of mankind.
MOOOOOOOOOM,ZORO GOT LOST AGAIN!!(
I love how you can tell that they’re somewhat out of harmony at points, meaning that this was absolutely not planned.
Yeah when it breaks down you can hear them setting a new baseline to jam off. Very impressive, some well known classics in there too!
@@johncraven6671 Their a Baritone and a Tennor sax, so they have different roles, the bass sax just sets the pace, and the Tennor is playing off it. The times their not doing this, they switch to a "call and response" method, which is what one does the other will other respond to.
EXample is when they go silly high (the baritone one strains and sounds a bit elephant-y, its really not meant to do that high).
@@AngelEmfrbl this is so interesting! Thank you!
Back then when people were creative and didn't fake everything for internet clout. Miss those times.
It’s called jamming
Second guy assembling his sax. Dual of the Fates starts playing.

So wholesome when a bunch of strangers gather to do a silly thing for fun
1 Train, 2 Warriors, a battle lost in time but never forgotten
Well said!
Great
Akshually it's the A train not the 1 train
This isn’t a showdown anymore, it’s a straight up duet.
A... Duel.
@@bobbaseballof the…Fates
@@bobbaseballa Duelette.
Yes yes and yes
@@MatthewTeachout-xj4yyof the flats…
this is not a saxophone battle, this is a conversation between two legends
Their speaking the language of gods
Fam this is a Pokémon Battle straight up
And this is an example of communication between these 2 legend
@@Dis_Play22 they're ?
When they start screaming and warbling and the song kinda disappears, I feel like that's them saying BRO I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS??
Music is one of those things that *ALWAYS* sounds better with more than one person.
The train for the entire ride: quite as a library
The train when I’m getting off:
Honestly I would have just skipped my stop
@@giacomomeluzzi280 same
Imagine if the internet didnt exist and millions of people would never have seen the greatest moment in human history.
imagine how many great things from the past we all missed because cameras didn't exist back then
@@annenymous very true
Makes it even more special for those who experience these moments
Aliens come to invade earth... We show them this... They surrender
@@zIJarIz probable aliens have music too, so let's jam it out
send this one to the aliens
It's the only one that's worthy
What a lovely phrase. I'm stealing this comment
Exactly what I was thinking about
@@ungratefulmango LMFAO
Aliens : Stealing them
Them: party on
1:10 A new challenger approaches.
They went from battling to just straight duetting and it worked so well
They had to sync
@@jok3rdude332 yes, that's always the difficult
True artistry when they can just vibe like that.
I imagine a world where Random musical battles erupt in public places, without any indication.
That's the world we should strive to achieve
like disney movies?
Sorry I'll copy this idea for my new novel series.....

“So then this other random guy busts out a SECOND saxophone and there’s a whole battle”
You're fired
Wait a minute...

As someone who has never been to NYC, I like to imagine that this is how all territorial disputes between rival saxophone players are carried out.
Same here. I’d consider it a safe assumption.
Please don't accept the digit@l currency or the Artifici@l intelligence (ai) system that is coming, it is against GOD. who have ears let him hear!!!
JESUS is coming soon and JESUS is the only way to salvation accept JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR today!!.!!!
Oh, if only. Not as nice looking as this anymore either.
As someone who lives near NYC I can confirm this is actually how all territorial battles are carried out.
Every couple months I come back to this video and rewatch. Literally brings tears to my eyes. This is and always will be the greatest video on the internet.
imagine how many people missed their stop because they were just enjoying this.
Worth it
@@darkaliebaba99 I wouldn't have missed this event for anything in the world if i had the chance
It was worth it
Nope, you don’t live in NYC to realize how much commuters really don’t care 😂
I have missed my destination more than once because of this scenarios lol, no regrets
Their friendship's backstory got a whole lot better, I can already tell that this will be an important flashback when they face the final boss together.
This the flashback they get right before their defeat that allows then to suddenly unlock a new skill. That they use to beat the demon of the Sax
I felt that dude
the final boss is jack black with his Sax-A-Boom
The final boss: I will now play RUSH E
The final boss should be the epic sax guy for sure ...
The fact they could harmonize with each other yet they have no history together and this wasn't even staged...... Makes this legendary
they're both exceptionally talented at playing for sure
If you watch they play with there bodies to queue each other in. Past that each person needed to compliment the other
it's like they were one the whole time and just then they've became complete.
Also I recognized at least one of the melodies (4:04) they were messing around with as a very well-know chart (Chameleon, by Herbie Hancock), so they had some idea what was going on. Still impressive, though.
I feel music is as much a language as any other. If you know what the other is saying you can have a conversation with them.
