El Ten Eleven - I Like Van Halen... (Live on KEXP)

[@martymcfly6420]

Not knowing anything about this band other than loving their music and albums, I was expecting to see a couple of synth players, a guitarist, bassist and drums. Mind Blown!

[@dogdyedblack]

Not only is it catchy as all get-out for an instrumental, it's a true wonder to watch them pull it off so tightly as a duo. Maybe my favourite live video of an instrumental on YT.

[@martinvargas3336]

Even though I had already listened to this song a few times, watching the performance STILL took me on what felt like a journey through either the deepest parts of space or the deepest parts of my mind.

[@FlashProAnimations]

Yeah Man, it's a great tune!

[@Liquidhamstermedia]

The KEXP studio has come a long way

[@robhardin8267]

Officially my new Favorite band. Found them on Pandora and they give me everything I want to do myself in music. Using loops creatively in an instrumental setting with great drums. Rocking it as a two piece is tough but these two pull it off well.

[@VelvetKevorkian429]

Didn't even realize it was all bass in this track

[@owens7807]

binging with babish

[@SteveTehBeast]

One of the best bands I have ever listened too.

[@lilprincesssful]

I could listen to this song over and over again

[@bgaede420]

these guys are fantastic i love pretty much everything they do. and they are perfect for smoking tooo...

[@tyler6skeeter]

i wish i had stuff like this on the radio where i live

[@frankyu553]

There is. Find a college radio station near you :)

[@claypage1089]

Love the early 80s vibe of the song! Keep up the batteries in that looper!

[@innocent_outlaw]

god i love this band so much. makes me happy. and when those hi hat ticks kick in it makes me wanna go skate so bad and just jump around. yes

[@PhotoshopTutor101]

GOLDEN SOUNDS

[@makingnoises2327]

That's a $6000 dollar bass. I have never wanted anything so bad.

[@ermitanyo777]

This is what I feel about a Grand Seiko spring drive heheh nice bass

[@demonicsweaters]

It's crazy how far KEXP has come with their video production. They already had their audio down though, even way back here it sounds great!

[@Siegun16]

Like El Ten Eleven, and they are the best duet EVER !

[@az_exit1279]

Discovered this from a movie soundtrack. Awesome

[@karlaanne]

thanks for this. I've seen these guys live twice now and both times it has been an absolute joy. love 'em!!

[@romancandel489]

never would’ve thought this song was played only on a fretless bass.. these guys are amazing

[@RadicalEarth]

Great band! Live is a true WONDER to experience!

[@gretchenxlyn]

How could anyone ever in existence dislike this video?

[@az_exit1279]

@3:03- Love it when he tosses the pick and strokes.

[@eapcar]

Great song & I loved the performance.

[@camerondamon7773]

I like Van Halen because Van Halen is cool. Great melody.

[@MuzackMusic]

They're making music and it sounds good. It's not to show off their technical skill. It's about the blending of sounds to create something coherent and beautiful. IT'S MUSIC. I feel they pull it off quite well.

[@atticusbryan]

such great artists

[@TomNicholson77]

That was a joy to watch!

[@AbeCastDrums]

I've really known about this band for years and only now just realizing they're a duo lmao

[@mironov1]

Stellar!

[@TheProletarius]

Love love love from Greece !

[@infernaldaedra]

Takes me back

[@MortalDosage]

Just saw these guys last night... their live performance sounds just like their recordings. Really good show cause they both get really into it

[@abep5150]

Just like the real Van Halen, whose live performances usually sound as good if not better than the album recordings. 🎸🥁

[@ThePenguinProxy]

SUch a great song! i love it so much!

[@hiromix20]

Very Fantastic!!

[@superserg93]

Probably my favorite song by them

[@cestoiber117]

Holy shit. Most talent i've ever seen.

[@abep5150]

Just like the real Van Halen

[@muralistericka]

this music is really awesome.

[@kdaus01]

Yes they do ivypark! Im tellin everyone i can, this band hasta keep makin music!!

[@pheralvrz]

Onjectified(documentary) brought me here, they´re amazing! :D

[@zzzzleeplover]

freaking awesome.

[@guldigler]

They're so tight!

[@zachy1029]

@javier61330 i might classify it as post-rock since that's such a broad genre but El Ten Eleven is unique by itself in its use of loops as a main component of the music.. I've never heard a band similar to them honestly.

[@Aaron-fr5di]

Damn, they're good

[@griffinmpable]

@sunnyday19791979 from what ive seen, he uses some octave pedal, but i see the digitech whammy, which comes into play i think more when hes doing stuff with a guitar. the line 6 delay modeler. i think i saw a ibanez tube screamer. in the interview from this performance i think they say something like 11 pedals all together. something i think i figured out is that hes not putting both loop pedals at the very end of his pedal chain. maybe to make the sounds very different?

[@hojima]

@chiragk4 whammy pedal, it knocks whats going into the amp up by one octave or down by one, a lot of bassists use them for stuff like this.

[@thelopeisback]

two of the most talented individuals i've ever seen

[@poodlelord]

That's pathetic.

[@Roydjt]

Fucking love this.

[@antonioiennarella8097]

Just so fucking good!

[@ashdefpot]

I can only dream of making such sounds on a bass....

[@luismendoza2660]

NO MAMES!!!! That's a fu$%#ng good sound!

[@mrmikerohn]

the best ever

[@abep5150]

Just like the real Van Halen, who were the best ever American Rock Band.

[@omnidoug]

YEAH El Ten Eleven

[@jamesc388]

@crimsongrim666 dude, yes! i thought i was the only one. Longboard for days with this & explosions in the sky jammin through your headphones.

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

Can you play Eruption on bass :) ?

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

@triviumfr3ak Not that I totally agree, but damn with a whole world of awesome guitarists there's finally someone who can play bass at least as much relevant and important as this.

[@carlhuard9692]

very cool

[@elbenhair]

fucking beautiful

[@peschumann]

fretless bass more akin to a classic stringed instrument, like a violin or string bass.

[@beatatarian]

ratatat have been around longer and I would argue el ten eleven have been inspired by them more as of late. Their last album was a lot dancier and definitely reflected the work of people that had heard classics by R@3. Both bands are pretty incredible though.

[@spynae]

The El Ten Eleven website has the list of pedals Kristian uses.

[@TremontMusicHall]

Holy Cow!!!

[@TylerBrainerd]

@pencildives hmm. on second thought, he does both at different times.

[@joe10864336]

Cool!

[@charlottesometimes6977]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Spkmagikungfu]

True bro! true!

[@ImmuneAlejandro]

does anyone knows where can I get this song ??

[@nicjimbass]

Exactly what I was thinking. Not just dudes though... bass playing dudes. That's about it.

[@alk3hall977]

Hot Laps!

[@marcelooyaneder8952]

can anyone say me what effects is using the bass ?

[@humancircuitry]

@guitarguy4991 I gotta say.... watching him play that thing does get me a little hot under the collar. And when he just tosses that pick away? Oh my....

[@smokeydadj]

the only thing cooler than this song is that fret less bass, I've never seen anything like that.

[@ingfaceable]

goddammit I need a fucking wal.

[@jacobstebel]

The magic happens at 3:03!

[@deech18]

eargasm

[@TylerBrainerd]

@pencildives no. octive pedal.

[@Trollssux]

SLAPPING DA BASS

[@peschumann]

the ending has a Rush flavor to it; trying to remember what song

[@abep5150]

I agree. To me, I am hearing the end of Track 1 from the album Signals -- i.e. Subdivisions.

[@wtf01s4]

@bukithd I like how the guy with a Breaking Benjamin and a Staind upload is trying to say this band isn't talented.

[@lakai958]

this song reminds me of a kid i know, his sister told him skinny jeans were cool, so he bought 8 pairs

[@moggieman10]

@leehamX3 no it has been returned.

[@Seoul_4est]

That is epic! O.O Sweet octave pedal :o!

[@DJhunta]

Nice flowy ride song

[@radenmulyadi2589]

Every object, intentionally or not, speaks to whom put it there. (Objectified ost)

[@sushigimme]

The Giant Mechanical Man

[@josuegalecio7916]

scrubs's dr. cox on the bass

[@Salex1093]

Why is Asking Alexandria in the related videos? Sheesh

[@javier61330]

wat kind of music is this

[@A.B.H_da-goat]

Good type

[@mobako]

Makes you reconsider the genre of "Drum n' Bass" doesn't it?

[@flowfelix1]

high as fuck haha !!

[@teapotcubby]

DRUM N BASS YO

[@BoyNegative]

@squidpirate and loop pedals cost money :( But talent is free! :) I want loop pedals too.... but moneys always tight in my family

[@lilbrudder32]

@mobako reconsider? More like reclaim.

[@BoyNegative]

@squidpirate and loop pedals cost money :( But talent is free! :)

[@spynae]

@bukithd DADA, actually.

[@alteregoAtlas]

2:33 no fucks were given, behind glass

[@BuddyRider]

...... i didnt know this was possible.

[@abep5150]

Just like the real Van Halen, thats what all guitarists said when they first heard Eruption. 🤘🎸🙏🏽

[@mitchwulfman]

haha clever, rock on

[@JaniumCanium]

Uh hi

[@Spkmagikungfu]

With dudes!

[@lidesnowi]

It Sounds more like your Sister meant U2!
