MONO | Fender Sessions | Fender

[@HALCYONphoto]

WOW! This has to be one of the most well produced, shot and edited videos of MONO I've ever seen. Thank you Fender!

[@gazzy_burns]

I’m surprised and amazed Fender has done this! More post rock / Shoegaze, less dad rock/blues. Great choice ❤

[@StvAmaya]

Post rock…. You’ve no idea what your talking. And yeah sure like this guys are teenagers…..

[@gazzy_burns]

@@StvAmaya this is post rock / experimental. What else would you call it? It’s not about the age…it’s about the everyday dad rock and blues 🫠

[@gustavhartley]

@@StvAmayathis is post-rock smartass🤡

[@tadoverbaugh2190]

This stuff was played by now Dad’s 30+ years ago. Just younger guys doing it. See Ride, My Bloody Valentine.

[@gazzy_burns]

@@tadoverbaugh2190 I’m well aware of that. I’m 42! It’s not the age it’s the style….as in drab boring dad rock.

I etched for mono on a show and I learnt a whole new level of real precision in tone and approach, Takaakira hired 4 fender twins then spent an hour with them all lined up listening to each one and singling them out until he had picked the one , he spoke mostly in Japanese but would use hand signs to describe what he was hearing with different pedals on, he played an almost religious set to me, it was meditative and contemplative and so emotional and just when I thought it was this soft musical journey hey let off his seat and was hammering his jazz master and hitting pedals and the noise was like what I imagine being inside the eye of a hurricane ,. it was ON ANOTHER LEVEL , ive been guitar tech for maybe 100+ bands over 30 years and no band has ever had an experience on me for with me like MONO. I didn't know there work before the show so im not a fanboy but as I packed down that night I knew looking into the people quietly preparing themselves to go home , everyone else was in the same space I was, liken had all as a group been ushered through this experience but we all travelled it on our own inside (a shared isolated personal experience I guess) and how their music effected us was our own. this is the height of what guitar music can be when you take away ego . thank you for that night Takaakira and Mono.

[@stevebond7387]

Awesome experience, thanks for sharing! I saw Mono at a small club in San Francisco, 2005. I was up against the stage in awe of these amazing musicians. They conjured tornadoes on that stage, it raised the hair on the back of my neck. One of the best bands I’ve seen, they are incredible. 🌪🎸

[@ts9046]

あなた達は日本の誇りです

[@edizunlusoy8911]

Most unexpected and beautiful notification i recieved. Best post rock band of all time

[@fcampoyq]

MONO... saw you live for the fourth time today at Spotify East, celebrating your 25 years! BIG CONGRATS!!! What a magical night... it was really special. Hope we can have at least 25 years more of music from you guys. Thank you FENDER for such amazing post!

[@Solitaer]

Been listening to Mono since 2008 and really appreciate that you highlight this amazing band. A shame though that you don't show Tamaki's playing on the bass, just because she's playing on a Gibson...

[@filtertheory]

Yes, she disappeared from the video as soon as the bass started 😞

[@kayzad11]

@@filtertheory Yeah i was wondering the same thing, she is the soul of Mono, Fender should have stayed true to the music instead of being so petty

[@jeremymr]

I've seen Mono live multiple times at small venues and had the pleasure of meeting them. Their sound is huge and at their shows you can feel the music wash over your entire body. It's hard to capture the intensity of how epic this band is, but I'm delighted Fender made this video. An amazing snapshot of one of the best bands on the planet.

[@black9030]

Beautiful and fitting words. I saw them in Kiev abt 4 years ago, just prior to covid. Size of the venue, passion of the crowd..... But mostly they knew the sound that the wanted to deliver. They delivered!!! I hope all of you have a chance to go to Kiev someday. Beautiful people, who love the West. Previously I went to Russia, and had people say "they don't like my land." I just smiled back. Keep Mono going. I am only 73, so i want it around for another 20 years,

[@Angelo-dl6yv]

Its so cool to see MONO on the Fender page! Im a big fan. Shoutouts to the post-rock community! Please add more!

[@post-man23]

Man, these curtains!! Pure genius.

[@johnpaulgiago]

Best thing I've seen on the internet in a long time

[@AaronsonCentral]

This band has been a huge inspiration on us forming and to finally see them get this recognition and quality of production is actually quite emotional, even though we don't know them. Fender should also be commended for making it solely about the music and not pushing new instruments in the video to try and sell a few extra guitars. ❤

[@yuchuuba-naritai3466]

Mono. Soundtrack of my 20s. Dreams of Finlandia and Japan.

[@Shinji-Nukaga]

４人がこれだけ語ってくれて、しかも演奏も観れる、聴けるなんて、とてもしあわせ。

[@TheColdNorthWind]

Would buy a signature Jazzmaster in a heartbeat. That JM/Twin combo has taken the air out of my lungs several times from the front row. ❤

[@airikayama7714]

最高！Fenderさん、最高の動画をありがとうございます！ MONOはアジアで一番好きなバンド、好きなアーティストです。 ライブで観てても後藤さんのギターはいつも本当に歌ってるかのようで、感動して思わず涙してしまうこともあり 「魂宿ってるなあ…」と思っていましたが、後藤さんのFenderギターは本当に魂宿った神のギターなんですね。 また日本に帰ってきてくれる日を楽しみにしております！ ずっと待ってます。

[@ts9046]

Nice コメントです　　自分はヨダさん　後藤さんに人生救われました。　envy mono と初めてライブしたクラブリザードからのずっとファンです

[@ts9046]

ヨダさんのギターも聴いてあげてください　　いいっすよ

[@ts9046]

タマキサンも最高😀

[@e-jplaysguitar5122]

I found out about MONO after falling in love with Caspian and wanting to learn more about them, I went to their wikipedia page where it said Caspian did a support gig for MONO. I am so grateful for finding this band man.

[@Sensates85]

MONO is on another level. So glad you covered them, and did it well.

[@eldeabajo1]

Mono...Best band of the universe...

[@anderlimaribeiro]

Have no words to explain how MONO makes me explode in emotions!

[@sashazlobin]

So suprised to see Mono here!

[@neliojunior4357]

Their music is so magical ! Finally could see them live last year !! Incredible concert

[@QasimEisa]

The greatest band humanity ever have known

[@soulandband]

One of my most influential bands ever... long life for u.

[@cocacolin]

Fantastic! Thanks for introducing this killer group to me - absolutely love their sound!! 🎸🎸🙌

[@christiangrassmedia]

Still one of the best bands on earth..music straight out of emotions! So great!!!

[@philipalmen5116]

Just saw MONO life for the first time. I cried and had goosebumps throughout the show. I just felt like home in a sense, put transported through an out of body-experience at the same time. Stumbling upon this video is such a gem! Thank you, Fender and MONO.

[@Childofbhaal]

Seeing them in person is an incredible experience really. I went with 4 friends that never even heard them before and they were floored. Loudest band I’ve ever seen I couldn’t hear straight for almost a week

[@Yoyoda_del_umbra]

Everyone wear earplug protection (audiophile one) at concert, ear damage don't recover well 🙏🏼

[@TheTachy0n]

Seen them live a few times. Doesn't get much better than this.

[@drone2778]

Absolutely fantastic. One of my favorite instrumental groups. Just goes to show guitar isn't just about flashy rock solos or blues licks. Their music is truly incredible. Hope more people find them!🤘

[@cancelbubble6535]

I discovered MONO years and years ago (feels like about 20 years ago), they have some really great stuff, great style. Really surprised to see them here on Fender's channel as I was always under the impression they were not widely known and Big Corp tends to always do Big Corp things. They're definitely worth checking out.

[@RegieFilho]

Fantastic. I had never heard of them before. Thank you Fender for producing this!

[@deanroddey2881]

Keeping ambient pedal makers alive all around the world. Looks like both of them have a stereo setup, which contributes a lot to the massiveness. My Bloody Valentine would be proud.

[@MrVinB]

Hell yeah I love MONO. Glad they're getting some love on here

[@chadkelham5034]

That first track hits deep & speaks to my soul, even now. Thank you, Fender & MONO.

[@eappieflag]

mono always in my heart ❤️

[@arissabetai5709]

Best fender session out there no questions asked

[@DanieleRebecchiArt]

Thank you Fender for this epic and unexpected upload! Deep love and eternal respect for MONO...

[@kayzad11]

The music they create is a blessing for us mortals

[@TheRedSwallowCG]

Mono is awesome! They are the band that introduced me to post rock a few years ago. These guys shaped how I look at and play music now. Good job fender, way to bring this amazing band to so many new people.

[@mikael.cherin]

Love @MONO (Japan) Favourite band. Been with me for over 20 years, has defined my life.

[@alan.axel.]

Fans of EITS here: 👇 Fender, In adition, we need one like this by Explosions in the sky, please! 🙏

[@shortw00d81]

Thank you Fender for this upload. All these years later, these songs still give me chills from top to bottom.

[@ThanatosSD]

This is truly impressive, not just only the awesome sound quality but the precious visuals. MONO are my favorite band when it comes to melancholic music, they are the masters of their genere.

[@anthon9745]

Impressive live performance! MONO is always the hymn of view.

[@animusicrecords]

I just love it, met Wata at the first concert they made in Chile, since Iworked for the Event Production. Very wise and humble man.

[@muhammaddanishzeb2861]

Mono is the reason I love post rock music...

[@jm17034]

So mysterious atmosphere!

Utterly glorious.

[@jpa8880]

MONO. Please, Please, Please play the Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles some day. I remember asking Takada if they could take a look at playing there during the Hymn tour.

[@Lukas_Kramer]

Glad MONO represents !

[@jal492]

Thank you MONO; I needed this today. 😭

[@adamcarlesco1650]

Great collaboration, @Fender! MONO is the reason I bought a Jazzmaster; incredible stuff.

[@16th6ToothSon_]

Brilliant! Thanks Fender

[@d8254rttt]

Thank you! But...there is a big video editing error at 5:40 :(

[@SirenaWF1]

Thank you Fender for not forcing closed captioning on us!

[@TheSunBurnsBright]

Why Taka and Yoda do not have a signature model is beyond me.

[@vitobitsgamer]

This is the best of the best!

[@IlyaSizovYT]

They could have shot Tamaki playing without showing the Gibson label on her bass. Second song looks pretty weird without her.

[@begavr]

Totally agree with you, she has an incredible stage presence btw.

[@JamesNolasco]

absolute legends

[@jezpennington]

Incredible band 💛

[@igorcorrea]

MONO is fantastic!!!

[@DriRSantos]

So beautiful...

[@GreatPlanet-n7n]

really awesome band, great sounds.

[@DonakRV]

Really cool video, just learning about Mono now. The only thing was, in the last song, there were no shots of the lady! Was she on bass? I know she started on xylophone or something, but I really wanted to see what she was doing throughout the climax, but each shot was only 2 guitarists and drummer... Apart from that really great production.
