It's so good to see you make mistakes. Seeing you're "only human" will help many rookie bass players build up their confidence. You don't need a 100% flawless execution every time kids, EVEN Lucas from King Gizzard fucks up!

No questions at the moment. I just wanted to thank you and all of the band for sharing so much of your creative processes and sharing these videos with us. Thanks for all the great music during these shitty times.

Hilarious at 4:50 when Lukey says he’s gonna plays a song and he says “what’s it called?” And he’s struggling to remember what it’s called. And the answer is literally KGLW 🤣😂🤣

I don't know if you're still reading the comments but, as a bass player, the bass lines you play are seriously some of my favorite lines to play. Please keep it up with the awesome music!

[@mondoke]

I'll have to agree. I've just started with bass a couple of weeks ago and the I'm in your mind medley is a lot of fun.

[@Fiddl3head]

Only finding this now, but damn, hearing it isolated like this really makes it apparent just how rich and meaty this bass sound is. It also heavily contributed to my particular enjoyment of the song Magma on the recent IDPLMAL record.

[@renelouvrier2941]

Enjoying these series because of their sheer authenticity. It seems many musicians these days want to be perfect and will do anything to cover their mistakes rather than adopting a healthy sense of humility. IMO These videos show the sense of humanity of these artists have and that they aren’t just perfectionist lizard gods from the multiverse who write epic microtonal music. Really Good stuff.

Hi Luke, thanks for showing up haha. It's lovely to hear from you so up close and personal. Wah bending sounds sick. I'm looking forward to see you venture up the higher notes on this monstrosity. If you dare.

This is the only band I know that will upload stuff like this.

[@MrTicTics]

Thank you so much for this Lucas. You and the band were the reason why I started playing bass. Do you have any advice with regards to locking in with drums? Is it just from loads of practice or is there something else to it?

Stay close and watch the kick and snare. Stare into the drummer’s eyes and you will find the 1.
