It sounds like they have some fantastically technical players, but they really have no idea what they're doing with this piece.

[@justsomebassist]

Yeah it sounds like a bunch of classical musicians who just..have no jazz experience

[@ianmcarthur1635]

GOSH DANGIT THE UPRIGHT BASS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS SONG

[@urbanmyths95]

it's not played on a upright bass in this version :(

[@dumbasffff]

hence the comment

[@comandantethorn9929]

it sounds like everyone is really scared of being loud individually, even the sax solo felt so shy

[@cheesypizzajokes]

pretty understandable, wouldnt you say? dont think they were that quiet imo

[@azizulfikri8392]

I feel sad, I was expecting tank but I’ve got archer instead

[@Reeeawr]

LMAO TRUE!!!

[@jackorourke1684]

Are you dragging? Or are you dragging?

[@bl00d5h0ck]

Jack O'Rourke hahaha ikr?

[@dachshund_gaming]

Are you Russian* or are you a dragon*

[@PyrozPlayground]

I was about to say this was the best cover I've heard.. but then I listened more. Then I heard the drummer behind the tempo.. then the trumpets were screwing up, and then the sax messed up the intro to the solo.. and everything else completely fucked up.. sad too. This band had potential.

[@EyeEatYoBabiesSon]

It's like they all KNOW how to play their instruments very well and can play sheet music but have never heard this song, ya know?

[@samanthasherman6750]

i don't think flutes should be in this. not my favourite at all. trumpet section wasn't great at keeping their air steady. i liked the saxes though.

[@yamipablo]

"I think it's time to crap this scene, get everybody and the stuff together , Ok 3,2,1 let's suck"

[@alexanderyeara8809]

LMAO

[@shorts87]

Not my tempo.

[@herusolares5320]

Not your tempo, this is?

[@Runningriotbf]

ita jazz

[@TheRareOn]

WERE YOU RUSHING, OR WERE YOU DRAGGING?

[@gerrmaiin]

This song is amazingly similar to Whiplash, both with a brass intro.

[@4ll3sb4n4n3]

It's like they never played blues before... shame *ding*

[@spencerkovach1986]

The flute was a bad decision.

[@GoldenPickaxe]

as a flute player who loves flutes in jazz, i agree, it's awful in this song

[@Leyeiz]

Always...

[@jhart19963]

This dosent have the swagger that the seat belts have.....

[@HowItsEvenPossible]

No one does, honestly...

[@icemasterk]

They sounded like my middle school jazz band (that I was a part of) trying to play jazz. No soul, no interest.

[@death-by-ego]

Me: "Let's turn it up to 11. It's like 10 but 1 louder." Conductor: "How about we turn it to 5. It's 1 less than 6."

[@imprezastigdb555]

信じられるか？これ、『アニソン』なんだぜ？

[@emi-zq3rd]

マジっすかアニキ❗️ うん。なんかすんませんʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ

[@somethingsomethingsomethingdar]

Oh god those comments made me laugh. I was thinking along the same lines. I've heard that song so many times and a couple of times those notes were missed by the trumpets. It hurt to listen to. The second solo was cringe worthy for sure. Love that song though

[@mighthose]

They didnt do the count down so it didn't have the spirit and the Ending that is suppose to be the best is ruined.

[@makotama2023]

やっぱり“Tank”は難しい曲なんだな〜と実感。カッコイイけどね👍

[@lightofscorpio9396]

this was all over the place.....

[@KainoaBlackeagle]

It's really kool to see so many musicians moved by The Seatbelts music, what many musicians don't know is that many of The Seatbelts tweaked their instruments painstakingly to create bizarrely unique sounds. No one can play Spokey Dokey like their harmonicist can. Too much sax at the end. Less is more. Five out of 10 for me.

[@imanoljesusdelpozo4907]

Tone deaf.

[@imanoljesusdelpozo4907]

And it wasn't quite my tempo.

[@Otaidus]

@@imanoljesusdelpozo4907 I see what you did there

[@me50three]

Wow, that was really, really, bad. Not all, like the percussionists for instance, but the sax and the trumpet sounded like a high school rendition.

[@jorgeamaro2686]

ikr??? needs more passion!!!!!!

[@rockcabbage]

It's because it's mostly women

[@pasitodrinker7890]

sexist much

[@DHLaurel]

To be fair percussion wasn't great either. Shaker wasn't driving tempo at all

[@MadisonHobbs]

[@kevp9601]

"I Think It's Time To Blow This Scene Get Everybody and the Stuff Together Okay, 3, 2, 1, Let's Jam" !

[@thx500]

a couple of missed notes here and there, but overall I liked it. :)

[@BJbear2001]

The band wasn't ready for it. You can see them all start to loosen up toward the end of the song. and what do you know? They got better when they finally loosened up!

[@zehle]

I think the reason why it feels so out of tempo is because of the microphone setup.. just listen to the bass drum, it's very audible and it sounds like the microphone is just a couple of inches away. It would probably have sounded a lot better if the majority of the sound was taken from in front of the orchestra (people wait for the drum sound to reach their ears before they play, there's a delay within the orchestra naturally). ... or they suck ;) (jk)

[@47Trumpet]

This is an incredibly difficult piece. You did alright. So many other bands are rushing and completely butchering it. You didn't fall for that trap and considering it was a live performance: Well done.

[@delovittrogers487]

I love and appreciate this video to the fullest from the detail to Dynamics to the decisions to make the improve close but still original to the performers within the video. To those can really appreciate the music, what this anime represented, and also the value of this video for possible inspiriation, please share with your friends, music and anime lovers alike.

[@togashi8287]

I'm learning Italian, so at least this was ok practice

[@gessicaiasminemesquita8120]

Que belezura!!! 😍😍😍

[@andresivanlema]

1:34 that guy looks a lot like Spike, the hair, the tie, everything.

[@silva6605]

As a flute player, this makes me feel bad

[@MusicMRGreen]

3,2,1,let's jam!!

[@fszkVF]

I f-ing LOOOOOOOVE all the Whiplash quotes in the comments

[@ericdano]

Oh, 9 years ago......I guess I am a little late to comment on this. Thumbs up guys! (EriC not EriK)

[@10gh37]

See you space cowboy…

[@eliyahaverial]

where is "OK, 3, 2, 1, Let's jam" ?

[@CaptainSnackbar]

its a difficult piece its understandable

[@someday7333]

very very loose

[@Helton_Silva]

Setting the video speed to 1.25... yep still not Seatbelts...

[@Liv4everOrDy]

+Helton Silva (Spirit) I know right

[@FarCritical]

That Christmas tree in the corner is snazzy

[@archeus.]

I feel like the conductor just showed them the piece right away and directed everyone how he wants it performed, instead of letting them hear the piece first

[@EyeEatYoBabiesSon]

*_SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY ..._*

[@jonathonsheets2155]

Is there a score for this?

[@mister.manammegeff5055]

Tank! By Shutterstock

[@bigbandverona]

We are a large group of jazz and 90% who commented does not understand anything about music and jazz, instead of commenting useless phrases, you write what works or does not work in our arrangement, you are constructive and non-destructive. you are writing just to show yourself but you do not say anything sensible. thank you

[@jakobesch6561]

I appreciate the practice required to get an orchestra of this size to play a piece like this, but.... I’ve heard middle schools sound better

[@ZFG1467]

As a drummer I got say you either practice the shit out of this piece or you don’t play it because it really is a song for the drums.

[@ChuckCanada1]

I love how everyone in the comments can be so rude and I bet 90% of them don't play any instrument let alone play good enough to be in a Orchestra of this caliber. For all know this is the first time they played this piece live and it could be a new piece for the band. It's the Seatbelts song so that alone makes it tough to play.

[@greatmallard9318]

GreenDrank82 actually, I’m pretty sure most people in this comment section do play an instrument, and thus know bad music because everyone has played music badly

[@AK-bx4jy]

Exactly... and criticism make people get better

[@benial870]

You see, saying "you can't criticize something because you don't do it", is stupid, if you know the basics of music you can know pretty quickly what music sounds good and not. So please, give better reasons to why we can't criticize.

[@jaridwilliams739]

Benial ye thats like oh u cant critisize anime bcz u cant draw, like nah i have a working pair of eyes

[@hiitsme3340]

Considering how you can’t realize that the band messed up I’m pretty sure you’ve never played an instrument before.

[@mmymmy315]

this is sad, it's like they took the jazz out of tank, then squashed its' spirit

[@mr_timo_lp2169]

I am the 999th like XD

[@DemonYaz]

that solo in the end is really hard to do

[@baileystutzman6096]

You know, it does have problems, but when anime is so dominated by young guys and gals, it IS refreshing to see a bunch of older musicians digging something so intrinsic to the hobby. The guy's sax solo was great. J-music Ensemble does a realy good Tank... (Check out their channel.)

[@obertone3242]

Well no crap they could not perfect it, of course we are talking about THIS song. Props for trying their best. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5LVi6CboLd6oqc

[@Antonio-st6zd]

A 227 reggeatoneros no les gustó este video.

[@thealexexperiment1677]

This has no soul man

[@nirvok3616]

Not perfect but not that bad. I do miss the countdown in the beginning though.

[@DayZero21]

Asqueroso final que le corten la cabeza a ese sax alto

[@kylmiii]

Judging by how they play, everyone but the sadophone soloist seems like a classical player

[@BeholderTv]

Looks great to me o> Nice job guys

[@cornbornmike1006]

Killer sax solo

[@iganinja6742]

A for effort. but it was not performed well. good over all. there were some parts done well.

[@das-panzer-maus]

See You Space Orchestra...

[@luf4rall]

clashing, and not in a good way.

[@LucasPereira-tj5vk]

Ok, 3, 2, 1 let's jam

[@captainpipsqueak9223]

Too tidy. It doesn't have enough life to it.

[@jeremiahtomcanin487]

People saying how it could use more confidence and how they didn't seem to know what they were doing, that's true, but it still fits how the song was originally recorded. The original is not perfect, and that adds the charm of it. I think it's fine.

[@DursTuckle]

Why can nobody play this right? Every cover I've heard is sub-par. Are they playing too clasically? We need some actual jazz musicians on this shit

[@JudasTadeo77]

this is a little bit slower than the original theme. in my opinion..

[@albinodarkrai7014]

...so would you say... ...that... ...it wasn't quite your tempo?

[@BenjerminGaye]

Albino Darkrai they were dragging

[@albinodarkrai7014]

BenjerminGaye le sigh. You didn't get the joke

[@BenjerminGaye]

Albino Darkrai I did get the joke, because I DO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

[@albinodarkrai7014]

BenjerminGaye ..... People like you make me proud.

[@account-cs6th]

良い出だしだったのにドラムで一気にローテンポになったね

[@No0dz]

It takes a philistine to dislike this song. Of course it does not conform to your beloved recorded rhythm, this is Big Band, by nature it has less jammming and more structure. A reinterpretation, entirely consistent with the nature of the ensemble.

[@adrielj2888]

Mucho arte

[@erob9446]

Welp. What ever Happens Happens

[@tempest_2222]

unamused. everything is wrong here. this is coming from someone who hasn't even played in an assemble

[@franckoarts4689]

Así no va el. Bongo y el bajo entra a destiempo cambiando toda la rítmica que dio el director... El bombo se escucha a destiempo realmente esto es un desastre 😭

[@lorenzocarbone6669]

Ma come 2004? Ma se Cowboy Bebop é del '98 ahahahaha

[@bigbandverona]

si ma ci sono state varie pubblicazioni tra le quali: g.co/kgs/FaFu6d Cowboy Bebop Tank! THE! BEST! Album musicale di The Seatbelts Artista: The Seatbelts Data di uscita: 22 dicembre 2004 Casa discografica: Victor Genere: Blues

[@jessilopes]

Absolutely agree.. loose the flutes.. add upright base ... don’t muck up the ending.!

[@takayuki2353]

アクを抜き過ぎ。キレイ過ぎる(´・ω・｀)もっと雑に、もっと情熱的に、もっとアツく演奏してほしい。

[@はやたや-w5q]

おしい部分があるけど、そもそも難しい曲なんだからしょうがないんだろうな

[@MrFletchmoto]

Having learn to play the trumpet, this song is tough even when you are really good. Notice that I’m not saying that I’m good.

[@あらんあらん-l5i]

なんぞこれ

[@satobob7329]

[@palmbeachcitizen]

The sax player screwed up near the end of his final solo. Did anyone catch it?

[@antonve9951]

This was hard to listen to...

[@shroomgerm]

Why is every video on a cover of tank! everybody just calls it shit

[@OMGduo]

Umm......Its actually "Tank!!"

[@Chillton]

Well, it TANKED!

[@benderbendingrofriguez3300]

not to Jazzy for me.

[@xaviernewby2846]

Ear rape at the end

[@alexandriaarmstrong1459]

why was this so bad

[@theinternet330]

Because only the seatbelts can play it right.

[@endervation3213]

This was just kind of sad and though the song is upbeat, after watching this i dont feel upbeat

[@MajinDev]

il 90% di questo pezzo lo fa la batteria...senza quella meglio nemmeno cominciare.

[@andrewoh7360]

Spike

[@kKhanMC]

Sweet i actually like tgis version

[@rico._5067]

The sax solo was bad these guys dont know jazz only classical 😒

[@lucassousa4494]

Demais.

[@behemothokun]

this feels too clinical

[@J3rryTortoise]

i just got lead trumpet on this today boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[@jesussaldana4558]

can't blame them. Everyone butchers the sax part, and those entrances by the band too.

[@purpleknight1396]

Wow this was sad
