Okay ! Okay ! Okay!.... I know I'm slow and I haven't posted much but I do want to start posting more videos... a Victor Wooten cover maybe ?... just bought a 6 string... that could be.... Anyway, also I wanted to let you all know that I'm working on a new project besides UneXpecT where the 9 string shall shine in all it's mighty glory!! So I will keep you posted for that and will soon open a new TH-cam channel for that project.... Very excited about this... More soon.... This time... I promise...
I dont now what happened to you guys, but this was and still is some of the most incredible music ever written. I would give every cent I have if it would guarantee a fruitful musical career for you guys. I'm sorry the worlds musical taste isn't at this level yet. But god damn, you guys created masterpiece after masterpiece, I hope yall never felt like anything less. Here's hoping one day well see you again.
This song is beautiful on so many levels; each vocalist and instrument is creating their own work of art and it's a mental exercise just to keep up with them all when they're playing. The intro is my favorite; at first the bass meshes with the calmness of the other instruments, and then at 0:45 it changes completely -- the slap bass almost makes it sound sinister, or angry. Unexpect is so friggin' awesome, I'd love to see these guys live.
It always astounds me how little you seem to be trying when I watch this video, but then again that's what talented people do: make things look a hell of a lot easier than they really are.
Hey, Thank you all so much for the nice WORDS (yeah, I had to do it) but this video is really just about my hair... So yeah, I might have another one coming. This is only a first, I will for sure put a couple more out either from UneXpecT's material or instructional shit... Requests and Ideas are welcome. Love -ChaotH
Dude, this is amazing.. Reminds me of the Bhagavad Gita for some reason.. then you know it's bound to be epic. Thanks. You really inspire me. I actually covered this (as much as I could) a few years ago on a 4 string tuned BEAD. So yeah, thanks for that journey. ATB! Peace
Yeah, we will be hitting Toronto this spring... We didn't play the Ontario dates with BTBAM because we were busy getting some sun on our asses on the 70000 tons of metal festival! Craaaazy ass week... Check back for dates in the springtime
Cher ChaotH, je tenais à te dire que tu es l'un des bassistes les plus sous-estimé du monde du metal, voire du monde de la musique en général. Je te place au même niveau que les Wooten, Pastorius et Manring de ce monde. Non seulement ta technique et ta musicalité sont hors pair, mais ta façon d'inclure des sonorités non conventionnelles dans un contexte de band métal est surréaliste. Mais je ne désespère pas, car le jour viendra où l'humanité se réveillera pour t'acclamer tel que tu le mérites!
Sweet kidneys of columbus... that's absolute insanity. You certainly use that thing to the fullest, and I must say - Fables is easily becoming yet again, my favorite album of the year. I seriously haven't seen a band do what Unexpect does - it's an amalgamation of harmonies, melodies, dissonance, and cacophonies that somehow merges to create a complete and utter aural pleasure. And that's putting it lightly. This album will be on repeat for MANY many months to come, if not infinitely.
Really appreciated the talent in this video. It is very inspiring. Some serious playing chops. Once you start tapping theres no looking back. Great song as well, very different.
Dude il faut absolument que tu produises d'autres vidéos de ce genre, c'est une expérience tout à fait unique que de te voir manier cette foutue basse à 9 cordes!!! Tout simplement incroyable, vraiment, à la fois technique et immensément créatives tes lignes de basses dans Unexpect! :D
@Chao7h How do you have your 9 string tuned? F# - Bb? How much do you use the bottom string? I'm thinking about getting an 8 string made you see and i'm trying to decide whether to just go for a 9 or how to tune it (for the pickups and nut you see i'd rather get them right first time!) And you use your 9 string beautifully!
ChaotH, please, tell Syriak and Artagoth tha they need to make a video like this, of they playing guitars. Sorry my bad english, greetings from Argentina
@AttitudeCastle Yo Yo Wotup... Indeed... tuning is 'regular' Fsharp to Bb... all fourths all the way. I don't use the bottom string that often, I end up hitting it 4 or 5 times in a full hour of set. Thanks for the nice words and, make sure to get a bass your comfortable playing. If you see the use for the extra string, go for it.
Yaaaoooo braaaoooo..... Very possible to play this on a 6 actually. I use ''ONLY'' 7 strings to play this song so you could easily shrink it to 6. Tuning would be E, A, D, G, C, F (basically step up a 4th from original tuning). Song is in E minor.. If you do cover it... please send a link!
You're a genius on the bass, and because of that, you're my favourite bassist. You guys blew me away in Toronto. Nice job on the newest album! Please inform us when UneXpecT is back in town. Thank you!
So awesome. Most people I've seen with extended range basses make it seem like a novelty but with the seamless way you blend different techniques it couldn't be more natural. Amazing bass/player/band.
OOO! You have your own channel! A year ago I was looking for some contacts\information of you, haha) Man, thanks a lot for your music, your playing! Stay so progressive and great!
It's from the song Unsolved Ideas of a Distorted Guest by Unexpect, which is the first song on the album that Words is from, eg Fables of the Sleepless Empire.
Wow. That was great. The best 9 string I have found on youtube. All the othes just play the high end or mario brothers. I will now go find your album. Thanks!
Sans joke, t'es le meilleur bassist que j'ai entendu. Ce que tu joues c'est tellement fou et ton niveau de créativité est juste mental... j'aimerais être capable de faire 1/1000 de s'que tu peux jouer :| Maîtriser une basse 9 cordes comme ça et en sortir des mélodies tellement belles et étant hyper technique ça prouve que y'a encore des vrais musiciens dans le monde. Merci pour l'inspiration.
@Chao7H hey, did you work up how many string you had on your bass (as in going from 4, to 5, to 7, to 9), and how long have you been playing to gain this experience?
Sooooo.... I saw that some ballsy bass players are covering that song and I think it's amazing.... I know squirrelxk2 worked hard on those tabs and figuring out what the hell I'm playing here so... I decided I would upload the full Tabs... I'll try to lay them all down this week and I'll be posting them in the next days... Cheers!
Hey man! I have a 7 string bass that I'm desprately trying to get to sound as clean as this instruement. What kind of pickups/preamp do you have in there?!
I don't think we had one... Chaos.... and trying everything you can possibly think of... Try to have every instrument play something different and then use all of these ideas in a more cohesive way...
Choath man you have got to be one of the best bass players going man. I hope to one day have a bass player for my band (when ever I get it started lol) to even be a fraction as good as you are man. unexpect rules biatch lmao
Just started playin bass a little over 2 years ago. I like to think that if i just keep playing and enjoying it eventually i can be the best player in the world. Watching this video, i can tell i have a long way to go until i reach that point
The important part is that your aim is way up high. What matters is mentally creating that possibility... You don't take paths that you don't see, so understanding that it is a possibility makes all the difference. Passion. Practice. Peace.
This guy is a seriously underrated bassist. Easily one of the best. He fuses technicality and musicality so flawlessly its insane.
a seriously
You're probably the first person i've seen using a 9 string to actually enhance a song, rather than just showing off. Bravo sir.
Okay ! Okay ! Okay!.... I know I'm slow and I haven't posted much but I do want to start posting more videos... a Victor Wooten cover maybe ?... just bought a 6 string... that could be....
Anyway, also I wanted to let you all know that I'm working on a new project besides UneXpecT where the 9 string shall shine in all it's mighty glory!! So I will keep you posted for that and will soon open a new TH-cam channel for that project.... Very excited about this...
More soon.... This time... I promise...
Much excite
***** Many interest
LeHumaani wow
You can post whatever you want, Im sure it will be awesome
Morning Star de Michael Manring !!!
Fluently switching between tapping and slap and pop. Glorious. Just glorious
Also, your hair is absolutely sick. 10/10
I dont now what happened to you guys, but this was and still is some of the most incredible music ever written. I would give every cent I have if it would guarantee a fruitful musical career for you guys. I'm sorry the worlds musical taste isn't at this level yet. But god damn, you guys created masterpiece after masterpiece, I hope yall never felt like anything less. Here's hoping one day well see you again.
Same here, I feel like i discovered them far too late! It was like love at first sound. Regular music can't even compete anymore.
They disbanded, as there wasn't enough general interest in their music, which to me is ludicrous. I'd happily Crowdfund them to at least tour again.
@@divinefallfromgracesrsly, I’d pay an embarassing amount of money to just see these guys live
@@rosechild3885 Yep, same here.
Please upload more videos like this man, I can't get enough of watching this!
This song is beautiful on so many levels; each vocalist and instrument is creating their own work of art and it's a mental exercise just to keep up with them all when they're playing.

that guitar looks ancient and powerful
Dude, this is amazing..

Bring your ass here and upload more video. You (and UneXpecT) are amazing!
You know what... you're right.... I need to upload more.... More stuff... I need more stuff....
Chao7H I see that you are very concerned about your fans. I love how you take care of our questions. My favorite bass player by far.
Easily one of the greatest bass players alive. The amount of talent this man has is truly incredible.
You are amazing!
I saw both of your shows on the cruise. I love your style and I hope I can see you again!
Yeah, we will be hitting Toronto this spring... We didn't play the Ontario dates with BTBAM because we were busy getting some sun on our asses on the 70000 tons of metal festival! Craaaazy ass week... Check back for dates in the springtime
People think my 6 string is crazy...

both you and Forest are two of the best bassists to analyze! everythings very crisp, cant wait to see more videos!
Hey man; very late response, but check out Jared Smith from Archspire, if you haven't already. Also Canadian. Must be something in the water... 😄
@@divinefallfromgrace Hugo who's currently in Beyond Creation is a beast as well, he also played in Equipoise's album Demiurgus and it's jaw dropping
Incredible musician and incredible band! I wish more guitar tabs existed for UneXpect because I'd really love to learn this style of music.
Really appreciated the talent in this video. It is very inspiring. Some serious playing chops. Once you start tapping theres no looking back. Great song as well, very different.
I had this song stuck in my head a while back, glad I found it here.
As epic as always.
Great bass playing, I was blown away!!!!!!
I saw you perform back when Unexpect came to Toronto in November. Man, still amazed at how you do what you do.
omg. I'm gonna sell my bass and buy a tambourine
He should play on Frederik Thordendal's next Special Defects album...
no he should play a piano
Beautiful music, beautiful dreads, and beautiful bass. :)
Listening this fully for the first time now...
FUCK HOW DIDNT I NOTICE HOW BAWWING EPIC THIS IS
Just one thing: Thank you for your inspiring bass work. I hope to see you guys soon live here in Germany! Greetings and keep up!

I have been wanting high quality videos of Chaoth for so long, i shall study this and potential others hard. Thanks for taking the time sir
Brilliant.
The guy is amazing... A real self made phenomenon. I'm thinking of a project that could be the bass answer to this actually.
Yaaaoooo braaaoooo..... Very possible to play this on a 6 actually. I use ''ONLY'' 7 strings to play this song so you could easily shrink it to 6. Tuning would be E, A, D, G, C, F (basically step up a 4th from original tuning).

Malade la toune!! Je suis fan depuis plusieurs années mais j'adore vraiment ce que vous avez fait sur le dernier!.. Rock on!
Ingenious insanity!!! It was awesome seeing you and the rest of Unexpect live in Ottawa back in November, I'm still warped from the performance!!
More, please.
So awesome. Most people I've seen with extended range basses make it seem like a novelty but with the seamless way you blend different techniques it couldn't be more natural. Amazing bass/player/band.
i bet you anything his hair is his source of almighty bass pwnage skills.
Awesome.
ooooh my gooood !!! I own 7 string of a bass myself, could you ever do a Tab of this amazing song ?
OOO! You have your own channel! A year ago I was looking for some contacts\information of you, haha)
Man, thanks a lot for your music, your playing! Stay so progressive and great!
Outstanding music you play there!!!!!! So awesome!!!!
It's from the song Unsolved Ideas of a Distorted Guest by Unexpect, which is the first song on the album that Words is from, eg Fables of the Sleepless Empire.
pure bass baby
Where can i hear more songs like this one with your bass in full sound?
Wow. That was great. The best 9 string I have found on youtube. All the othes just play the high end or mario brothers. I will now go find your album. Thanks!
Ah heaven. You are the man. I hope there is more Unexpect in the future.
Usually I don;t really like songs with heavy bass in it till I got in to Unexpect. You truly are talented!
Watched you guys live on Progressive Nation 2009 in Slovenia. Awesome preformance and masterful bass playing.
Hope you had a good sleep ;) Are you guys coming back to Ottawa in the near future? Have a blast on the cruise!!
Big talent. Big bass guitar. Big haircut.
Sans joke, t'es le meilleur bassist que j'ai entendu. Ce que tu joues c'est tellement fou et ton niveau de créativité est juste mental... j'aimerais être capable de faire 1/1000 de s'que tu peux jouer :| Maîtriser une basse 9 cordes comme ça et en sortir des mélodies tellement belles et étant hyper technique ça prouve que y'a encore des vrais musiciens dans le monde. Merci pour l'inspiration.
Un bon Quebecois 😎
finally someone who knows how to play the instrument!
Kick ass playing man.
ur the man dude ..
deamn nice work
Merci d'avoir signer mon T-Shirt! Signature en GOLD! Vous etes FOUS! J'VOUS ADORE.
ey chaoth can you play mechanical phoenix? or it's to late? :D
That would be AMAZING.
I want to study this for the chord tones and harmonies as much as playing it out of sheer interest. Please please do!
this is my favorite bass video on youtube
man you are amazing
@Chao7H hey, did you work up how many string you had on your bass (as in going from 4, to 5, to 7, to 9), and how long have you been playing to gain this experience?

Cheers!
Not just amazing and fluid use of different techniques, but done on a 9-string and without any hint of pretentiousness. Well done!
Stupid comment, you're the only pretentious one
I'd love to see that if you get it done. Is what you have playable on a 6string?
hee how are you doing when are you bring out another chaotic symphony beautufull musical cd ep greetz from holland hope it soon
People should give him to play in howpitals music like this
Dude you are fucking talented
Will you post it when it's finished?
WOW!! great sound,,is it conklin's bass??
Hey man! I have a 7 string bass that I'm desprately trying to get to sound as clean as this instruement. What kind of pickups/preamp do you have in there?!
It's highly likely to be Delano custom pickups and a Bee preamp
That's amazing dude
Bought this album on Bandcamp, absolutely love it!
Hey Chaoth, is it possible to find out Unexpects' song writing process?
I don't think we had one... Chaos.... and trying everything you can possibly think of... Try to have every instrument play something different and then use all of these ideas in a more cohesive way...
Je vous suis depuis vos débuts. Love you guys!!
I would love to hear Unfed Pendulum =D
Té un ostie de malade, trop hâte de vous revoir en show !!!
oh please film Silence the parasite or Unfed pendulum!!
Sick dreads.. Do you crochet hook or let them do their thing ?
Amazing! I consider myself a music nerd but I've never seen a nine string guitar. Did you have it custom made? It's beautiful!😍
Nine string guitar???? I thought it is a bass..
Simply amazing dude .__.
Truly ThatS Some Super Advanced Bass Playing!! AWESOME!!!!
Awesome
You, my good sir, are fucking incredible. That is all.
We still here bro. Ur great
Choath man you have got to be one of the best bass players going man. I hope to one day have a bass player for my band (when ever I get it started lol) to even be a fraction as good as you are man. unexpect rules biatch lmao
...great idea! You, Scott Plummmers, Felix Martin with his Chapman stick + Navene Copperweis on drums :-))) What You think?
great man!!.....really dig the sound of your bass as well as your playing .....
Just started playin bass a little over 2 years ago. I like to think that if i just keep playing and enjoying it eventually i can be the best player in the world. Watching this video, i can tell i have a long way to go until i reach that point

En as-tu d'autres videos comme celui-là Chaoth ?
My...god. Fucking amazing!!!
@Chao7H Could you please put the tabs for this song up, or something like that?
correct me if im wrong but thats a Bee Bass isnt it.
Super video. J'espère qui en aura de plus! Personnellement, j'aimerais tellement voir Unsolved Ideas Of A Distorted Guest!
Insane! Wow!
nice playing dude... but what's the song at the beggining?
