Absolutely!! People don’t understand how incredibly hard that is. I’ve played the bass for over twenty years and can’t even come close to singing and playing. It’s way different than with a lead guitar.
Agreed! I'm tearning to sing and play at the same time to improve my musical prowess and its SOO much harder than meets the eye. At least lead guitarists play chords or play a more simplistic pattern, but for basses (especially chord players) it's such a new feel
He did a show here in Dallas where he was going before Anderson Paak and that man’s fingers were moving like the flash like he and the bass were just one with each other😂😂😂😂
I see yall complaining about his vocals, but he sounds like this on the actual record. I think he sound fine and is doing what a lot of other artist arent doing with live vocals. Good job, Thundercat!
It was god. And god know I couldn’t get close. But I personally don’t like the singing. Kinda high pitched and less chill I think. Idk. Still awesome tho
bruh playing that baseline whilst grooving whilst singing is an outrageous musician flex. I knew this dude was good but this is pretty audacious and then he rips out that solo my goodness what a beast
I wish Thundercat would keep solos in the studio recordings, it appeals to jazz lover side of me and also, we don’t get to hear enough Thundercat solos in studio recordings
I agree and disagree. While it would be nice to hear such brilliant soloing, I don't think his music would be nearly as commercially successful and thus, it would detriment his carreer.
This reminds me of the people you see sometimes groving hard in the subways in NY, and you wonder why this person isn't on a stage. Mad I'm late to the Thundercat party.
He is bringing good finger style back . Lovely fingering as opposed to the hyper slapping until good grooves gone . Now this is really ,awesome bass works .
ThankGod for blessing us with this criminally-insane GOD-Gifted CreativeMind of this MadGenius, how could U not love, respect, & support this brother's work
Him being dead ass serious about it is even funnier than the song .
It's a very serious matter
I fks with his music though- Thundercat is dope.
@@Timonade When Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald do a song with you, you have to be dope.
power moves
Lol
And just like that Dragonball Durag sales skyrocketed, saving the world economy
I can't find the one he wears in the video! I want it so bad tho!
Michael Althauser where they sold?
Handsome With The Handgun etsy
@@marleyo5065 he just released it a few days ago as one of his merch iirc
😹
He almost cracked himself up with that cat hair line lmao
Best line in the whole song tbh 🤣
That line got me 🤣 but the best line is "Gonna keep on all my chains when I'm making love to you" 🤣
not really dawg he seemed chill the whole time
I'm so glad, lol.
Nice profile pic my guy
The fact that he plays that bassline and sings at the same time is so freaking impressive

Thundercat is *thee* only person in the world that can make singing about cat hair sound good.
TheLovliestTear can I sing to u sometimes?
@@handsomest1 Simp
Odyssey CHL thanks
@@handsomest1 pmiS
TheLovliestTear ANSWER ME
omg that bass sounds so good live
João Silva the performance aint that good here tho.
He did a show here in Dallas where he was going before Anderson Paak and that man’s fingers were moving like the flash like he and the bass were just one with each other😂😂😂😂
Slapa Da Baaaaasse !! !!
😎🎸💢🌺🇯🇲
Yes
He's a tone chaser through and through a guy like him will never be satisfied and I respect that in an artist
My wife is so annoyed that I will not stop singing this song.
Just tell her "you feel kinda fly,standing right next to her" and she will be fine i promise
at least you still smell good😹
Tell her to collect the seven Dragon Ball Durags and wish for you to stop.
Get you a durag and perform it!!!!!
thats ok, it happened to thundercat twice in the video before he succeeded. tell that girl youre tryna get INTIMATE!
I see yall complaining about his vocals, but he sounds like this on the actual record. I think he sound fine and is doing what a lot of other artist arent doing with live vocals. Good job, Thundercat!
Are they mad about the background vocals and reverb???
I'd like to see them play that sick bass line and sing that falsetto vocal line at the same time. They're clueless! He fuckin killed it.
@@fightinandirish exactly. That's why I love him and James Hetfield. Singing well while playing sick riffs/,licks is not easy whatsoever
It was god. And god know I couldn’t get close. But I personally don’t like the singing. Kinda high pitched and less chill I think. Idk. Still awesome tho
People are dumb
The “new whip, zoom zoom” line will go down in history
bruh playing that baseline whilst grooving whilst singing is an outrageous musician flex. I knew this dude was good but this is pretty audacious
and then he rips out that solo my goodness what a beast
stephen looking healthy. that's great
Are you feeling healthy mate?
00 Rayne are YOU feeling healthy mate?
@@smellsfishi No. I eat way too much dairy. Trying to cut down though.
00 Rayne new too my dairy intake is wild
00 Rayne damn i’m lactose as well lol
I listen to this song atleast once a day and watch the music video atleast twice a week.
Me too lol!
Lol! Same here. And I walk around and randomly point at my boyfriend and sing “would you tell me the truth” 😂
I thought it was just me!!!!! 🙌🙌 😁😁 I know it gets on my husband's nerves!
This is truly the song of our generation lol.
same

@@jub7345 they make radio versions and other cuts, an extended version of at least some his songs would be awesome
That what makes us want to attend the live shows!
I have never seen a man turn a bass guitar into a Moog Synthesizer ! Thundercat is like the Bernie Worrell / Stevie Wonder of Bassist !!!
NimNum Stevie Wonder is a bassist.
Yes, kinda this
he uses a lot of moog pedals apparently
He also has a midi pickup in his signature basses he might use them in some more synth tones but yes this is all pedals
thats the bootsy thing actually
This song is brilliant and funny and beautiful - but you can tell he is a musician first. Mad respect.
I was surprised Brad Pitt went to the LA concert, I could see this song in one of his movies, he is a smooth operator
he lost so much weight its pretty amazing. I'm glad he is looking healthier
He said he quit drinking after Mac Miller died.
@@alexhoward1884 Shit, respect to him. RIP Mac
You all completely missed that once the Dragonball Durag was on, everything changed. Through music he expressed the swag of durag.
What brilliance.
Dat bass is sexy as hell and sounds amaaazing, his solo sounds sooo good.
I see Thundercat is wearing the 'not tall enough to ride the roller coaster' shoe collection
My man rocking the Rick Owens Geobasket
Plane J drkshdw ramones
Vlad Khomenko Yeah you’re right
Yeah drkshdw double bumpers
There's the normal drkshdw ones, but the double bumper versions are obvs higher
Sounds like the old man off family guy live🤣
But i love thundercat, he is a boss👌
Not Herbert the pervert😭😂
Tyler Petty holy shit he does 😂
Chriiis
Lmfaoio
There's some video games and comic books in muh basement...
I wish he had a full range backup vocal for this. The harmonizing makes this song so good
Shame the whole tour got canceled
shame the coronavirus is plaguing the nation
@@David-wy7cj nah that's a blessing
SackOfGypsies how?
Obese Taco cus
Obese Taco u got rekd
You know you’re the master of your craft when you can make a funny song sound good 🔥
This reminds me of the people you see sometimes groving hard in the subways in NY, and you wonder why this person isn't on a stage. Mad I'm late to the Thundercat party.
That bass damn near bigger than him
Was supposed to see him on the 25th but obviously that’s not happening now. This is the next best thing! Thanks for uploading this
Meant to see him in Amsterdam and Berlin; not happening due to that very problem :( no more durag for us
I feel this so hard. The date I had was literally a week after the show in this video.
That bass makes me feel a way ❤️
damn. always a gem from this dude. looking fit and healthy as i have ever seen him also. to be black and beautiful in america. priceless...
david baca *white
@@handsomest1 how's he white?
TheTitanian white and beautiful
@@handsomest1 Where is the white man?
@@handsomest1 Yeah, "white and beautiful" is nothing new. It's practically what's marketed as the "normal"...
Only one man puts out tunes like this with the content we deserve.
His bass playing while singing though... 😮
5:51 those damn arpeggios 😭😭😭😭🔥
God I was going to see him on the 24th of March before this shit hit. Had dragonball gear and everything
chakuseki I’m sorry
Only people who know people with cats truly appreciate that cat hair line.
He's a damn talent, but this song alone is what got my attention. Dope !
Artists with real talent taking over the industry! Feels like the 80s all over again.
This is a masterclass in funk...
Is he playing in octaves? Whatever he's doing, it sounds great.
The sound is caused from an envelope filter pedal, he might also have an octaver, i cant really tell
@@cookie0329 he definitely is using an octaver
Whammy pedal 50/50 blend between dry and octave up
Yeah in the beginning he’s definitely doing some octaves but he could have a pedal for other parts that are harder to play octaves
He is bringing good finger style back .
Lovely fingering as opposed to the hyper slapping until good grooves gone .
Now this is really ,awesome bass works .
Please come to New Zealand one day. This clip is something else! Can't wait to hear more.
Heard this on Facebook one time and knew what it was...music.
Glad this was my last show before COVID-19 took over life. Have to say it was well worth it 🙏🏽especially seeing the new songs performed
I Have Officially Fallen In Love With Him 😩
He is coming to Japan on April. I can't wait.
Tour is cancelled as fuck my dude :/
Link: www.reddit.com/r/Thundercat/comments/fi60kb/the_tour_is_cancelled/
not anymore
I think not 😂😂
Ryuichi * “He was going to come in April. I’m going to have to wait.” ...all love bro lol.
Nigga no he aint lol
ThankGod for blessing us with this criminally-insane GOD-Gifted CreativeMind of this MadGenius, how could U not love, respect, & support this brother's work
Great song, thundercat is one of the greates bass players of this time. I enjoy a lot his music and style.
Holy hell the bass solo was sick! If the studio release was like 9 minutes with 6 minutes of just bass solo I'd love that, as a prog fan :D
This goes hard you cant hate it.
No you cant
That bass is huge! like those boom box you carry around back in the days.
This monster is unstoppable. I love him.
Damn dude! I had know idea that he played that bass while singing. Mad skills!!
This man is the total package. Insane bass player, visionary, vocalist, and has one hell of a sense of humor. Id like to see him work with Mono Neon
this live was already goodttt BUT MY GUY WHEN THE RANDOM DUDE PUT ON THE ACTUAL DURAG I DIED😂 DECEASED and BURIEDD
damn rest in piece 🪦😭
That’s not a random guy. That’s Guapdad 4000 who’s on the Dragonball DuRag Remix with Smino
Got dam rona messed up my first time seeing him so when he reschedule please come to Atlanta again don’t leave us atliens out there
Yeall super infected over there.
I was gonna go to pop smoke's concert on Mar 21st in Chicago but he was killed before I could experience that 🥺
Saw him at the tabernacle about 2-3 years back at one musicfest. Front row. The guy is ridiculous on the bass. You gotta see it live.
It‘s so hard to play and sing at the same time! Respect ❤
I’m hooked on this song
I knew the bass line was good but I was not ready for those solos oh my lord
Hey, I was there. Last concert before the quarantine.
One of my favorite artists 🤘💯😎🤘 he be snapping
That solo was remarkable
Who hating on his vocals he’s killing that shit
That damn bass is so fucking good
one of the funniest songs and he sounds amazing✨✨
Even the live version🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thundercat is so dope
This feel so good in my ears 🥰
The ending of this video is like the movie SOUL where he gets in the zone. Love it! Supeerrr DOPE!
i would kill to see thundercat and squarepusher collab. twin bass gods, unite the world.
Last concert I went to pre pandemic. It was great!
Wow, you lucky bastard.
He's amazing...
5:12 This is amazing ! This dude just plucked to a crowd note !
This guy is bringing so much to bass
The ending tag he puts on this song is just virtuosic stuff. This man is a legend 6:46
Man this sounds better live.
Became a fan of this man.... Salute to him!!
Gotta see him perform
I need a mastered version of this cuz god DAMN that bass was GrOoVy~!
I wanna go to his live concert now even more!!!!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞Such a talent and I know his fingers hurt😝💋🌹
Was gonna see him in Manchester but I wanna avoid crowds atm
@@oneandonlyoni-2816 I understand definitely
@@CashmereIII Would have been so good tho
oneandonlyoni - Just wear a hazmat suit.
Amazing! Musical satire of American urban culture while still showcasing incredible vocal and instrumental artistry.
I think it’s more playful teasing that satire. Tone doesn’t seem critical to me.
That bass 👌👌👌👌💗
He's killing it
5:18 Thundercat: LEGENDARY STATUS
That bass tone is insane!
maaaaaaaaan i messed up not going to see thundercat... someday.
Same, totally had a chance to see him here, I fucked up.
I can believe I was right up the street and missed this concert. DEEP REGRET!
I see those Rick Owens joints bro
ninopwns wat dat?
Handsome With The Handgun expensive avant garde version of converse
You could tell, he wanted to laugh at the "cat hair" line! 😆
I'm jealous. I want a Dragonball Durag😔
The crowd ain't amp enough for me I would've been loosing my shit
He felt exactly what I felt
bro the fill at 3:10 is so good
I am SO upset I missed this!
So casual and smooth pushin them good vibes!!
THIS SOMG GETS ME ON ANOTHER LEVEL-
It was the DBZ durag wasn't it?
@@matthewsmith1779 😳
I just found out i share the same birthday with thundercat, and now i'm happy
this looks so fun, wow
Great voice
Bro dude out old with that bass, I’d love playing set behind him
This beat is sick.
I've known who this dude is but I've never listened to his music until yesterday. God damn I've been missing out
