Bass player is layin' that shit DOWN!!!!

[@ramslucas5140]

Tom Spallone that bass is jamin

[@Ana1yst]

Loved it. Uncle Phil has got it going on! Like to see the old guys still in the game.

[@thomasreid8030]

one of the best jams ever!!!!

[@xkxwrdbboixkx]

solid band. freakin love the bass tone.

[@coolcustomer31]

The kazoo is awesome. I was looking for the horns haha.

[@littlegoobie]

this is the second song where i've noticed that similar deal going on and i wonder if the kazoo is going through a eventide/electro harmonizer or similar effect.

[@solwong1338]

someone gotta tell us what the hell with the kazoo!!

[@gamalieltoro8156]

no estan en el tono original

[@maarifawalcott5145]

Rick James is a legend! Glad to see someone covered something other than Mary Jane, and so well done.

[@garymiller2536]

FAR OUT!! Great FUNK!! All of it. That Beat is Crazy.

[@tonycifelli3113]

I just discovered you guys today and I have to say how incredibly talented you guys are!! AMAZING!!!!!

[@isenbergj]

Man that brought back memories. You guy's kick ass.

[@jaymc6451]

You guys are all AWESOME Musicians!!!!!!!! Loved it

[@dgwachtel]

Uncle Phil has some wicked chops on that base! Richie has one talented family! You guys are rapidly becoming my favourite musicians! Thanks for the great music!- Dave

[@celticlion8357]

I gotta tell you guys, EVERY time I listen to you all, I ABSOLUTELY am astonished!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!

[@2endsformacircle762]

Dude. I've never seen anyone rock a kazoo like that!! Bravo

[@stratpac]

Great!....love the Kazoo!!

[@pedroaraujo4845]

Damn! What a sound!

[@Musikman511]

Dang!! ... just what I like... a band of good ole' Irish Boys rocking out to Old School Funk. I enjoyed the hell of it especially the guitarist at 7:23. He has that Guthrie Govan feel...but funkified. Great job to all (including the kazoo guy). Lot's of fun! Thanks for the post

[@travarusmart24]

Im 8 years late but yall killed it!

[@DavidLopez-rl4gd]

Wow!! Bad-A**...my brother just shared this with me...I hope you have more videos like this... great kazoo playing also. David Lopez, Pueblo, Colorado

[@tonycifelli3113]

If you guys aren't famous by now, you should be and probably will be!!

[@majortomandthetexas]

Awesome jam, Incredible guitar solo, love the Kazoo too!

[@deezyt2349]

That last half was nasty!! 🔥

[@williep3426]

My god what a killer guitar solo, Richie! Loved it! Best regards from a Dutch drummer and fan of Band Geek

[@InfexiousBand]

I really enjoyed this! The guitar improv at 7:20 is my favorite part! Subscribed!

[@Amarikita]

Fantastic job on the vocals.

[@toring61_52]

Ok, I had to log in after hearing you guys and give a thumbs up. Good job !

[@J3unG]

Man!!! This is dope!!!

[@WhatchaGunnaDooo]

That guitar solo though..🔥🔥

[@acemcguire2]

KILLER guitar solo. nice job!

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

Your version of Hotel California brought me here, through binge watching. Loved your little Neil. Had to Feed Frankenstein. Got some Thriller. Now got some funk from white boys. Party Hardy.

[@D_Machiavelli]

Damn I FUNKin love this! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Happy birthday Slick Rick!

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

Great vocals

[@joegonzalez4468]

You nailed it!

[@kevinacres1699]

I wish I could share in your fun outside of just watching Great job as always.

[@greghortonsr.5428]

love the "brass section"

[@maarifawalcott5145]

Wow! Just Wow! If you’re gonna cover a legend this is how you do it. What a tight group.

[@tdcmusicnow5312]

Funky and Nice!

[@mofourth4thchild75]

Very nice! Funky!

[@shane1v]

Band Geeks are awesome!

[@dewaynewhite2928]

I take it that!! I think they did good a job!! I like it!! They had fun doing it!!

[@guentherb.2629]

Not bad. Fantastic !

[@mannylebron2880]

you guys are awesome.

[@ujimajame4601]

Now this is how you do a cover, and proof to skeptics, that good music (or musicians) has no color - there are too many examples in recent history for me to name, whether backing other artists or up front, and this group did an excellent job! And I loved the comic adlibs at 2:20, the kazoo at 5:50, Uncle Phil's solo at 6:01 (ala Brothers Johnson, Larry Graham, Keni Burke or Stanley Clarke) and the lead guitarist's solo at 7:25. They are no joke!

[@JonathanMooreWright]

Holy effing hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome!

[@nicolassagrillo1442]

Came here from infernoplus :)

[@msgtbattle3735]

[@JamesJohnson-tj9pv]

[@bispomanoelangelo8783]

[@kenthompson8448]

[@ricever1]

I like your interpretation of this piece and the keyboard parts.

[@juanmanuelgranadosdavila4984]

[@dariustatum5121]

That bass solo made me pull over

[@istemihanvarisli]

[@fabioc.9682]

[@marknotos5358]

I like Uncle Phil's T shirt !!!

[@joeys4625]

Great cover, you guys are tight.

[@ramslucas5140]

Dam you guys jam......badass....

[@dilippatel3268]

you guys are good!

[@NJFLIPPER]

Great stuff!! It sounds like The Uptown Horns are Living inside of Jarrett's Kazoo. Richie you cannot sing this without wearing Red thigh-high boots. : )

[@nastynupe]

Eddie took it!!! Great solo!!!!

[@EddieSLX]

Good vocals!

[@drewblake6304]

Goddamn that was spicy!!!!

[@alleykattmullins945]

[@36index]

Hahaha! Not bad at all! Enjoyed that!

[@stevegarland8643]

Is he getting that sound from a freaking kazoo?? lol Every part of this is just awesome. I want to be friends with you guys.

[@sumdumguy2648]

That kazoo I'm dying lol

[@richardschnader2293]

[@jodylopez1359]

[@papsmear666]

Scorching solo Richie!!!

[@AlbanianMan]

I want that kazoo!

[@frankpalmer8153]

Uncle Phil is cool !

[@bobbyfikesmusicfun]

Awesome. You guys should pick and Oingo Boingo song...seen very few bands ever cover them and I know you guys could nail it!

[@xleban5974]

0_0 wow, that's awesome!

[@aevin_io]

this is SO good

[@trickthemartyr]

well done.

[@williammurray6017]

I'm not sure if you've done it but I'd like to hear you guys do Mr. Roboto.

[@canopener505ify]

I'd pay to see this

[@gregboyd5653]

Well that's pretty good

[@waynebeck7801]

What do you hear through the headphones? Does each musician hear just what they are playing?

[@HangtownTactical]

Wayne Beck no. You hear the studio mix.. IE all the instruments together with the proper levels. That’s typical. However that doesnt mean that’s always the case. Often the initial rhythm sections will be playing along to a click track or metronome to keep time correct.

[@bubsbart5723]

there awsome ♡d it.

[@tomasmiranda4454]

This is so funky wtf XDD

[@samgreenwood9595]

How the hell did you get that horn sound with the kazoo?!?!!!??

[@mszone4]

Groovy

[@ykar18]

Great! A video full of good humour, and rather contagious! Did you add virtual horns (via a plug-in, or a keyboard), or is it just that incredible kazoo? If so, any treatment when mixing?

[@Beardwhip]

this was very zappa

[@tomekdudzic]

Good cover :D

[@binkwood]

Damn!

[@PedroGuarinon]

Yeeeah!

[@Dzo826]

Well alright!!!...

[@chrisloud343]

Dis was dope as fck 💯 I love this

[@drgcommander1]

is there an mp3 of this or a version without the jokes and improvisations?

[@ramslucas5140]

Yeeeesssss

[@valsotto27]

what is that whistle called? I want one haha!

[@duanesivanish9460]

Sounds like MJ stole the bass line from this to use on Thriller.

[@cartoonworld1000]

Yeah Mike asked Rick if he could borrow parts of the bassline for Thriller, no joke. Rick obviously being Mike's friend, said it was fine.

[@angelito1358]

cartoonworld1000 but like rick when he found out it was all around like mc hammers he said “nigga I told you some parts this nigga done sample the whole shit” hahaha R.I.P. slick Rick the funk will never die🤲🏿

[@Rock4everR4]

기타치면서 노래 잘하네.

[@WhatchaGunnaDooo]

Poor drummer. No solo for him. But he sure slayed that last guitar solo🙌🏽
