Larnell Lewis and Mononeon in the same band represent the world's most absolutely terrifying rhythm section.

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

AI will not be able to replicate this. REAL MUSICIANS playing Live. Greetings from Uganda 👊🏿🖤

[@jammcard]

100%!!

[@ZENSIBLE]

But it would write 📝 real lyrics though This Lyrics are Garbage.

[@alexisvillanueva1916]

@@ZENSIBLE Mononeon once said "Understand and accept that some people are going to like what you do and some are going to dislike it… when you understand and accept that dichotomy… move on!"

[@jkb2467]

@@ZENSIBLE these lyrics are perfectly fine, besides its much more about the compositional aspect than it is the songwriting aspect. If you want meaningful lyrics go listen to lizzy mcalpine or smth lol

[@mississippijohnfahey7175]

​@@ZENSIBLE did you think the song "Hot Cheetos" was gonna make you tear up from its poetic beauty? 😂 I don't worry bout AI in music, cause the way most of these top 40 writers work is like a robot already. Mono is dope though, very unique

[@NotoriousB.I.G.]

Mono Neon is the only musician on this earth that is allowed to look like a talking blanket😂Funk of 1,000 years🔥

@jammcard I would love to play for y'all channel one day just set the date and I'm there baby

Apparently not, A$AP Rocky stole the drip. But... he's the only one who looks *cool* while looking like a walking blanket!!!

[@funkyduck4743]

Insane guitar solo! This band is pure fire.

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

1:34 that cymbal choke into splashing it the next beat is just so tasty. Larnell Lewis will forever be one of my favorite drummers

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

also love the cuts of the video in this. During the intro you'll notice that when the phrase is repeating you'll see Mono shaking his head telling the rest to keep the groove going. The video cuts show this each time he does it too! glad we got an extra long intro too cuz they just go wider and wider on it until he starts that verse

[@thesanfordmethod1905]

awesome ! great ear !

[@mob_mu]

MONO × Larnell = insane❤

[@maxeaton15]

one of the toughest rhythm sections to ever do the thing

[@bassplayer10]

That Riff doubled by Sharkey is so dope. Local hero- Shark is..

[@patstevens4560]

This is crazy musicianship. I am absolutely blown away.

[@thesanfordmethod1905]

up there with Ronnie Tutt !

Tasteful lil solo by Isaiah there

King of taste

Oh man, SO SICK!! Great job everyone! Dear sound engineer, I owe you a beer!

Please drop the full version. I registered in b&o like five times and nothing gets sent to me

[@Veneer22]

WOW!!!!! I love how MonoNeon gave everyone in the band in this track a spot to shine. The drummer, guitarist, and pianist were all on POINT! That was ridiculOsO! I also love Hot Cheetos. This hit home for me on every level. This was sick!

[@jammcard]

Glad you loved it! They all crushed it

[@prettyponymonster]

Whoooaa thats an Abasi concepts!! LETSSS GOOO MONO NEON. This is fire and Larnell absolutely makes everyone shine. Wonderful playing all around

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

thanks for this comment I thought the guitar shape was familiar somehow

[@tommyrq180]

Mono has some unreal long fingers. Damn. He can physically play stuff others only dream about. Larnell is other-worldly as well. Criminal, felonious funk. What I, as an old guy, refer to generically as swing or groove.

[@DidYouReadEULA]

That guitar is sublime.

[@CliffHuxtableSweater]

Mono is mono so he does his thing continually👍🏾 but Isaiah sharks is ridiculous man. He’s always seamless

[@Robert_Herring]

Brilliant stuff. Mono's groove is insane, Isaiah's amazing, and Larnell's driving the bus.

[@shamgarsitar1170]

so 2020

[@jas_bataille]

That's like asking a philosopher what words they're going to use for their answers. They won't able to say in advance. When you master something, those decisions aren't even conscious, they're real-time, and fragmented. No need to even worry about thinking about it when you don't need to!

[@YaoEspirito]

Booooooo👎🏾

[@baldy555]

Omg he actually performed and recorded this song!

[@anthonydavis5993]

This is and will be the sickest groove of the year or maybe decade! This version here, that guitar solo was absolutely, positively in pocket! If you don't know what pockets are, first of all you can't buy pockets... it's a natural place of being. Second, you have to self-discern where it is... That's the tough part. You can practice, and practice and more practice and still don't have a clue...

[@cottontooth]

I keep coming back to this one. Mad respect, big ups to all involved

[@channelforhunks]

That was.......insane

Yous made ( 1 ) cut that I will play until my music app breaks. It's with your GRANDMA Mono, " I drink my beer & talk 2 GOD" That song brings tears 2 my eyes cause I (2) was raised by my GRANDMA, out of all of my ELDERS, & my daddy was the main 1 (n) my life, my GRANDMA taught me the "LIFE LESSONS" that I still apply ( effortlessly) n every situation that I face, period. I LOVE YOUS BRO, & SEEING YOUR INTERVIEW TOLD ME MUCH ABOUT YOUS

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Aside from this being insanely fantastic and cool beyond words, aside from that, doing the gig “in the round” as theater people would say,is so wonderful and fresh. All the players can just be with each other and let the audience see how they really work together and communicate. So much the way it ought to be all the time.

[@rodtrues1]

That’s a band, when they have time to jell (jello) together,, and that takes time and patience , and good arrangements!!
