[@danielvicedo5759]

2024, we still here.

[@Palavalve]

Man, why's everyone hating on Drew? He's doing exactly what the bassist is supposed to be doing, he's not overpowering the guitars, he's grooving harder than anyone out there (on or off-stage), and actually injecting some personality into the performance. Drew, you're the fuckin' boss, boss.

[@BernyBadger]

It's not drew its the tone of his bass. Didn't fit the mix well at all. Nothing wrong with him in here. Well some people don't like his presence on stage but I care little about all that. Just care about sound quality

[@singhjack8064]

Idk the bassist from polyphia Clay is able to make much more busy and interesting bass lines without overpowering Scott and Tim. I know not all bass lines need to be busy but bass can be more than just playing root notes of chords or playing half notes.

[@Palavalve]

@@singhjack8064 Sure, but the focal point in Chon, as far as melody is concerned, is the two guitars. It's prog disguised as smooth, chill, easy listening music. I feel Drew locks into that vibe, where Polyphia composes songs that have many more opportunities for other members to break out and showcase their individual prowess. I feel it's almost a different game altogether, but I understand the sentiment. Still, Drew dominated what he was given. Edit: Also, I commented this 8 years ago, and to see you interacting with it so genuinely makes me so happy.

[@IgnorantCommentator]

Watching this makes me sad. Drew always added that crazy and goofy vibe. Made the band THAT much more enjoyable to watch live, good luck Drew we'll miss you man.

[@gel389]

One of my favorite bands at the moment. I say that very very proudly. Those note sequences on every single track are breath taking. Countless times I have found myself here studying this style to incorporate a portion into my playing. Guthrie Govan, Gary Moore, SRV, Mario Camarena, Eric Hansel, John Mayer all make me feel this way too! Not to mention quite inspiring to me as a fellow musician with a vision and keeps me practicing every day. Thanks, CHON! I hope you read this someday!

+FSBass I agree. When I listen to instrumental music, I don't get all physically into it other styles. Especially CHON. I mainly just feel it inside of me. I'll bob my head a bit and soak in the atmosphere and beauty. If I wanted to get into it physically, I'd go listen to Hardcore or Death Metal.

[@colton3507]

+Hansol maybe they do:) but probably not haha

[@kennywowie]

+colton duncan snob

[@chickenbeforeegg]

Dunno where all this hate for the bassist is coming from. He's feeling the music, getting in the groove, being a stage presence, interacting with the crowd, being a 'live' musician. I'm listening through $20 HOM earbuds, and his tone sounds fine to me, fat and funky. What do I know, I'm a drummer, but he sounds and looks good.

[@crippleripple]

chickenbeforeegg listen at 3:40 it's when I began to notice

[@account9866]

I thought it's mainly because of bass guitar he was using. Well plus his tone, it's different and maybe gives him not so much space for specific moves. But he did something in song "Book" and other songs. And i don't get it why people think that guitarists are much better than him and he doesn't suit the group. He plays this tone changing melodies as like one of the guitarists playing rhythm guitar. Some of their songs or tracks really much based on some kind of soulfunk & prog rock & smth else and they have strong rhythms and complex drum beats and they like it. Also sweeping & taping here is not that ultra hardcore, but you will need compressor for it for sure. they have songs mixed (or remixed?) with electronic music & synths & beats and they played in collaborations. I think they are not so worried about having some strict formula for some kind of success

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Daring to be unique is far _more interesting, artistic, courageous, intelligent, and commendable_ than being a critic.

[@rafaelmonte4263]

Man, I Loved this bassist beacause of his hype when their live, he's like their frontman. And I Always thought that the "simples" bass in their music mas to purposely contrast with the crazy guitars

[@sethmarquez6076]

Yeah, he’s cool. I don’t dig hollow body basses, but whatever, it’s his thing. Artists can do what they will, especially when it comes out sounding like this. I’ve also found that people don’t generally like the it when people really let their bodies go, along with the music. More than likely, they just can’t relate to giving yourself to something like that.

[@Geekman1118]

Never would have thought of running an Ibanez through a Vox but good on them, they definitely caught my attention by playing technical riffs with a semi-clean tone. I think it's a big reason why they stand out as a band. Playing very technical melodical metal type riffs with a vox chime. Alot of their tunes I think should be used as soundtracks for video games.

I consider this band talented as fuck and this is the first time i heard them. Also , the only two good comments i read are the ones asking for band info and comparing the bassist to arin hanson.

[@crimsonclover5037]

I just fell on this video. Never heard these guys before. I'm slightly envious of the bass players' feels. I'm a drummer and there's no better feeling than fading off on stage, waking up 4 minutes into a song and not knowing where you went for that few minutes. Kudos to him. He's having fun and that's all that matters. These bass players are gonna pick apart what he's playing, just as I could pick apart the drummer... but what's the point? They are talented af and having fun!

[@user-ko3sd9qj2h]

@@crimsonclover5037 oof right in the feels with that man, that feeling is absolute bliss. Have you heard of John Mayer talk about that intensity Stevie Ray Vaughn had? Which most musicians can only do for about 5 minutes, like absolutely in the zone. I think it's the same thing and something i've only experienced twice myself, on stage and during a jam, literally was sweating, wasn't a hard song, I'm a guitarist, wasn't moving too hard, but the absolute zone i was in was amazing, with the focus and adrenaline, I forgot we were on this planet let alone our music classroom. Also yeah Drew is honestly what made me love Chon, when i saw this video. I didn't understand all the hate people had for him. He contrasted Mario and Erick in terms of sound and set the live feeling for the band imo.

[@drewgrahn3816]

Funny how you say "his OWN MUSIC" when one of the main reasons he isn't in the band anymore is because Mario and Erick (the guitarists) have said they write all the bass parts.

that bassist really knows how to fill up spaces between the amazing guitarists. And the drummer is a Mathman. cheers from guwahati,North East,Asia.

[@adammercysystem6450]

well this is the first time I've heard this band. And I have no idea what the fuck I was doing with my life.

[@brandon420olson]

Totally feel the same way, man. Some people are just so far ahead of the pack it's almost comical.

[@Johnny.B995]

Same.

[@ethanstepanian1559]

Bass player looks like the proud puppet master displaying his animatronic, musical humanoid creations to the world. "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!"

[@mattan4936]

Discovered them through this video.. Was super amazed by the first lick of splash and I was soo excited I just found out this amazing band. They're simply incredible.

[@MrTungtarung]

sounds like my first bass that i bought from china

[@jacobdarosa5312]

MrTungtarung Appreciate the music and quit judging.. Maybe it was a festival amp that he was plugged into or he didn't have time to fix it. You wern't in his shoes so keep it to yourself, bud

[@MrTungtarung]

Jacob DaRosa ok mate

[@enriquemendez8524]

MrTungtarung theres nothing wrong with his bass, he is clearly doing whatever he is a doing on purpose. he selectively plays some parts in a vague, mellow sounding manner. this is liekly out of boredom witht he "businesses as usual" formula that we see in the stagnation of bass guitar in general. it gives it some characteristic and i really like it =) i would suggest maybe listening to some jazz or for more understanding of something sounding "out of place" but being intentfullly done that way, maybe some noise or grunge music to soften you into the concept. haha.

Sounds like the bass drum is what sounds weird the bass sounds fine

[@seanbuhler1650]

***** This is not the amp he uses when I've seen them live. Drew usually uses an orange

[@cookieokay]

That dude with the sun glasses and american football shirt is so stoned lmao.

[@tribbybueno]

i've watched this 100 times easy. i love being able to say this sounds better live than the album versions, that's an amazing feeling as a listener.

[@mariovasquez4646]

Wow!!! Absolutely incredible!!! This incarnation of CHON was absolute magic!!! No one plays like these guys!!! 🎸🥁❤️

[@juanorantes9601]

Chon and An Endless Sporadic are the best non vocal bands that deliver such flow of great musical noise that makes them so awesome!!

[@tymtrppr3]

Honestly a legendary performance.

[@connorlowe1302]

God bless you guys, freaking amazing, glad youtube sent me here!

[@Shambles27]

I'm so glad I randomly stumbled across this video. Their music is fantastic

[@GaryJibilian]

Holy shit!! Thankful to have stumbled across this video just now, on Thanksgiving!!

[@SLVMBER80s]

Minus the Bear + bath salts + every known western scale = CHON.

[@diegodanteee]

whoever tuned that drums deserves a raise

[@sergykhine]

only this videos remains from Chon?? Life is not fair :(

[@HankCScorpio]

Ibanez commercial right there

[@kolejackson6542]

Clicked on this video after some hardcore Djent and this is SO MUCH BETTER

[@SubBubz]

That's because Djent sucks.

[@Koalaz1]

@@SubBubz ok

[@justingilbuena6346]
