Guthrie Govan, Marco Minnemann, Bryan Beller_3 - The Aristocrats_Vladivostok LIVE

[@rifewithfear]

maybe you could acknowledge that just because this isn't to your taste doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable to others. this is unquestionably an amazing performance, regardless of whether or not it is pleasing to you in particular.

[@Queslington]

Admiration, and much more importantly, inspiration. And I think the understanding he was referring to is not natural, but theory. I may be wrong, so sorry in advance for putting words in his mouth.

[@elsextoelemento00]

Govan sound is so different thru a Marshall Amp. But not so different. Loved it!

[@Fr3derick]

Super awesome Grandma mary

[@panamanian911]

Thank you for these videos!

[@eduumetal]

You're used to hear those old rules of pop music, then. This song has a lot of Jazz into it. It's completely normal for someone like you to feel a little strange about this. - :) - Cheers.

[@callemusicman]

amazing

[@BERENGO84]

Govan Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aruizislas]

First time I listen to someone that assures that counterpoint is simple. At least, someone that says that it's simple compared to chord structures. Simply unbelievable.

[@Maxx61]

Hard to imagine as a guitar player a better way to spend four minutes than watching this trio just nail it.

[@vadatrip]

I understand what you're saying. For the most part I share your feeling about this kind of music. For instance I am not about to put this on for my listening pleasure but I can appreciate the dedication it takes for a musician to get to this level. However I do enjoy watching it because it's amazing. If you're that good you should express it and show it. I don't think music needs to have a coherent message to be valid or have "redeeming qualities". Of course you're entitled to your opinion.

[@BrunoCunhabrunocunhabc]

Amazing! Govan is the best guitar player in the world! I'm sure this!

[@glorialunsford3161]

Don't be sure. Who are you comparing him to. The best remains Jimi,

[@BrunoCunhabrunocunhabc]

@@glorialunsford3161 I am sure, though.

[@levans6824]

I love how these guys interact while they are playing. You can really tell that they are having a good time playing together. Which is why we, as musicians, get into this in the first place!

[@MrCleanPhoto]

I'm just reposting a comment that sums it up: It's just sheer and utter musical genius spilling over into each genre with simple fluidity only musicians of this caliber could achieve...

[@danielposthumus9932]

refreshing!

[@dudefrombarrie]

It's just sheer and utter musical genius spilling over into each genre with simple fluidity only musicians of this caliber could achieve...

[@Arazmo]

sick! See Guthrie in Tampa guitar clinic at American Rock School on July 20, 2013

[@rafakedesgracia]

This is the perfect band for Marco, the most crazy drummer of all times!

[@rwblackwell]

I am freaking blown away by this work of extreme art. These guys are fantastic musicians.

[@adelsamakia]

Marco Minneman always succeeds in amusing me!!

[@manimusicka2]

a new Aristocrats video yaaaaay

[@RennerGutierre]

Now we´re talking! Absolutely amazing!

[@bexserver]

This is brilliant. Extremely talented musicians trolling all other musicians, pure gold.

[@atilla8773]

incredible playing , timing , perfect groove...top notch performance by masters...nothing less...

[@chaidamz2]

wow!!!

[@pernfuitar]

wooooow!

[@SamHerrington14]

marco minnemann is insane

[@norbertcf]

Also, the Aristocrat's live shows are structured to have a LOT of improvisation (which I really like). I would really recommend listening to their studio albums to fully appreciate how catchy and well-crafted their compositions are.

[@dsaashley]

The best instrumental band I've ever heard - just amazing !

[@AledesChica]

the best´s

[@cuchio]

my brain has gone to fly, god so amazing and beautiful

[@Geromao]

How you guys can be so good ? Amazing ..

[@vmlnc64]

Yess..(..)

[@W4iP3]

wow, amazing band and amazing audio quality

[@thorndog100]

One word....Mastery.....

[@moonchard]

Amazing! Luv it!

[@BrettFairchild]

So heavy...i love it

[@DalltonSantos]

awesome performance guys!

[@MrCecilbag]

wow

[@leonmerrill2077]

Wow

[@philybates]

Bad ass Charvel!

[@KoldDude]

What people who are not versed in music don't understand is that "complex, technical, jazz-wankery" music can actually produce strong feelings in a listener, the same way that a standard "classic for the masses" can. Unless you have walked these roads REPEATEDLY, however, by listening or playing music or otherwise, such music will never be intuitively enjoyable to you because your mind hasn't been trained for it. Musical appreciation is as broad as any other art, so don't judge it.

[@grefftogan]

nobody cares what you think, its music, like it or leave it.

[@IbanezLk]

That doesn't mean you have learned anything along the way. There are 8 year olds in this world that can put you in your place.

[@bytton]

How many hours these guys rehearse? Simply unbelieveable!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing it

[@Icayna]

MM's wearing the same shirt he used in DT's audition... Cool shirt btw

[@rudymogul]

2:51 Bryan = pure win.

[@PDexters]

The name of the song is See You Next Tuesday.

[@MGraves97]

@Geoff Tucker No it's some sort of custom Charvel

[@pranav576]

exactly...a piano player would kinda complete this band even more (even though the bands is pretty much complete with the amazing trio!). Hiromi would definitely be great addition!

[@alessandro3000]

I'd love to see Hiromi Uehara with this Trio!

[@norbertcf]

For people who understand music (maybe even play an instrument), this can be an entirely coherent and completely enjoyable piece of music (it certainly is for me). Maybe you should concede its not to your taste or understanding, rather than label it "semi coherent".

[@norbertcf]

I'm talking about appreciation that comes naturally. Just because only a few people are moved by this piece of music, doesn't make it "unnatural". As to what is "understanding music", it's as complex a question as "what is beauty". 99% of folks will agree that Scarlett Johannsen is beautiful, but 1% will respond to a less conventional person's looks. Is that unnatural? I think not. Regarding your argument on pop music, yes more people respond to that because it is the lowest common denominator.

[@JonathanThompson7000]

Awe that's cute, someone misses a melody :( Get over it guys. They play music that makes them happy. That's all that matters... it doesn't hurt they are all masters of their instruments.

[@KoldDude]

However, when one (a musician, say) has traversed the paths of theory so many countless times, your mind learns to feel complex music too, such that one rarely has to think consciously about the complexity to enjoy it.

[@jtpublsh]

makes me think of Zappa

[@riffinrob7231]

id like to see you try to play this song. go ahead and post a response video.

[@Samsgarden]

Sometime's Govan's tone reminds me of Steve Howe's.

[@7sanctuz]

Amen bro. But it's fun to know it's complicated to play though! :)

[@VerhoogtMarco]

It is the same reason why the romantic period is the less listened. The classical and baroque periods are much more easy to listen to because they are simple. Don't tell me you haven't heard of Mozart.

[@Psychograce93]

I wish you had a version of ''Flatlands'' during this performance :(

[@JoKKaHD]

Guthrie Govan to G3!

[@jjptech]

Thanks god Marco is not at DreamTheater!

[@dkpv2012]

cutest damn thing i ever seen- Everyone thinks they own things

[@sadowsky300470]

Will be slightly later : )

[@rushbum]

If you don't like this you are not a musician!!!

[@VitorDuzarte]

*is, and also if you don't like this don't watch. Cheers!

[@sadowsky300470]

You are sure, what it so? In general this material was made by our company)

[@Bayu3573]

they're communicating by the stuff ...

[@josie1776]

14 people got broken fingers trying to play this.

[@TheAiket]

Its still 14 over 4 years, wow

[@TheIzkool]

Is this like jazz fusion combined with metal??

[@PortlandAxe]

Maverick, you are mistaken. Sadowsky is the originator of the material (they recorded the event), from which Minnemann did his reposts by permission. Minnemann even lists Sadowsky as the original source for the material.

[@Juanyeti]

amazing! what marshall is he using, jvm?

[@ques4estas]

is that the same shirt marco wore for his Dream theater audition?

[@DinarKutliakhmetov]

Съемка достойна похвалы!!! А будет ли где-нибудь полный концерт?

[@benaberry]

chris coleman on drum and bass.

[@rifewithfear]

Well, i can distinguish guthries sound from a mile away. I love his repertoire, keeps it thrilling and new for me. and yeah, i take it you're not a guitarist. try and keep an open mind with music. no instrument is ever pointless and irrelevant.

[@norbertcf]

I agree, there's some stuff out there I just don't "get"! If I can't find a unifying theme / hook / riff / whatever you call it, I lose interest in any piece of music.

[@81Gibson335]

What is it?...no longer with Suhr?

[@VerhoogtMarco]

It is basically jazz so it is not to be listened by someone who does not understand music. You have to be a musician yourself to find it interesting because it is complex.

[@KoldDude]

As pretentious as it sounds, it's entirely true. Enjoying technical jazz has a certain number of prerequisites to make it understandable and enjoyable - the same way an astrophysics course would have a certain number of prerequisites so you can appreciate equations, etc..

[@comprehensiveboy]

Fascinating reactions from people. All are reasonable. Its not sentimental, no 'emotion' you know brooding shit like the blues or something or a sense of resentment. Its music ex mens sana corpore sano. Western music. Frankly I'm sick of people trying to 'say something'. Actually I'm sick of people. No, these guys aren't saying stuff they are doing stuff. Its like a circus act, an amazing physical performance. And they can do musical humour without being crude. They say the scherzos of classical composers are not really funny like Shakespearean jokes aren't either. But these guys can do funny music. I think you have to get really sick in your soul of normal stuff first before you turn to this.

[@dylanswint1795]

*shrug* they're just jammin man. If you're soul's sick you should do something to cure it

[@nishudar]

I have some question, if someone know please answer me. Is first sound (0:00) Anyone know how to get a similar sound effect like that on 0:00 using vst/vsti on midi with some common mixing program? I would like to prepare some cool backing track for improvising, and it inspiring me, but I still looking for a way do do it.

[@lukelucanus4966]

they should call this song "mindfuck"

[@MarkoVesovic]

Mindfuck

[@guizim9612]

You don't have to know witch scale he's using, everyone listen to the same sound, it doesnt require thinking to understand, just an open mind

[@Ramiroocampo]

Thats a great idea! But with Hiromi, the band probably would explode...

[@guizim9612]

and what is understand music?This understanding you are talking about comes naturally, thats why everyone likes music, but almost everbody end up manipulated indirectly and liking pop music and it's patterns. I agree in parts with the guy up there, when people who play some instrument hear this kind of music, they think other way, and not musician people simply don't get it, so the sound made takes to nothing.It's a well done sound, but it is pointless, it doesn't create feelings but admiration

[@Godspell55]

I agree. its certainly more tolerable then some of Pat Metheny's stuff.I guess you could call me an advanced guitarist but Ive heard some stuff so far out it has no base, bottom, or Anchor.

[@vadatrip]

Talent, dedication and virtuosity are not redeeming qualities? hmmm

[@lock3dupe4ever]

paul gilbert on drums, john petrucci on bass, and frank zappa on guitar? now they just have to call steve vai to play keyboards

[@JonoRicher]

What song is this?

[@delandreese]

That Marshall amp sounds muddy compared to the Badger!!

[@DmitriMironov]

I can say for sure. This music is very challenging. But i just can't listen to it too long. it's all about thechnique, not the music it self;-) It's music withous soul, and actuall future. The just OVER Frank ZAPPA-IT :-))))) to much ;-))

[@132bartolo]

c mone man for real THERE IS SO MUCH SOUL

[@demiandavoli]

Anyone know the name of this song?

[@weltschmerz137]

Demian Davoli see you next tuesday

[@guizim9612]

if a musician compose songs heard and liked only by who knows musical theory, he is not a good musician, and that is not the case of Govan. Music doesn´t have to be analized, it have to be felt, and anyone can feel it, music shouldn´t be just a theory exercise.

[@riffinrob7231]

i fucking hate when people call technical music "without feeling". i for one think its got much emotion and is no way at all "lifeless". I mean that riff at 1:30 is sick. you probably get bored because theres no lyrics to listen to. the music is what is coveying the emotion not the lyrics. personally, i get bored with 3 chord pop songs. i love this bc its unique. its musically interesting. just dont call technical instrumental music lacking emotion, because the whole thing has emotion.

[@jourdywong6575]

I think these guys have gotten so bored of playing for hours per day for decades that they write stuff like this to keep themselves entertained haha.

[@BrettFairchild]

What song?

[@niloduarte7266]

Very hermetic, but i think there is something missing in this groove! A organ hammond or a sax idon´t know
