Racer X Rock It 1988

[@Ken2468WILD1]

'80s Rocker Attitude & Style is Forever Cool!!!! I think for myself, there ain't no one who's gonna tell me what's cool.

[@MacieJay]

lmao i noticed that too i was gonna mention it but ur way ahead of me

[@sux0rz]

its the perfect bass solo imho! it shows groove, technical skill, feel, SPEED, finesse.... what more could a bassist want? kudos to you sir

[@mikelynch3208]

i miss the intensity of such bands from that era,its never been equaled in my opinion

[@SolidWander]

Jeff is such a strange performer. haha I love this band so much though.

[@fleshrock2]

awesome !!!

[@Wyrmidion]

+1, the solo is kickass :D

[@Wyldephang]

Bass Player actually did a feature story on Alderete, and he was on their cover. It was their March 2005 issue, and I own a copy. I agree, though. Alderete is really underrated.

[@DillonBerkley]

what do you mean this is still fn awesome!

[@Ibanez9245]

So true.

[@divinegrinder]

I can't even believe a member of the Mars Volta is playing in this video. Fucking mindblowing.

[@free_electron]

"ill thank you later" haha so funny A+++ music right here. id kill to be a teenager in 1988. better music, women, cars, hell i can go on and on!

[@WhiskeyOktober]

don't know if it was a feature, but i know he was recently in Bass Player again. as in the last few months.

[@zopwx2]

JUAN ALDERETE FTW

[@soeffingwhat]

THATS what I love, Technical Bass Playing without having to rely on Slap Bass or Two-Hand Tapping.

[@towelociraptor]

Juan Alderete=best bassist ever

[@guiltygear101]

I'd definitely put John up there with other legendary bassists like Ian Hill, Steve Harris, Cliff Burton, Geddy Lee etc.

[@petercarroll4723]

can u put this video on google videos to download

[@guiltygear101]

Well, have you actually listened to any of their bass lines, like Harris' intro to Wrathchild, or Hill's intro to The Rage?

[@gutmonkey09]

that is the sickest bass solo i have ever fricken seen .. holy crap .. sick band ... the singer goes crazy haha .... good fricken song tho

[@SirJamestheIII]

on extreme volume 2 bruce plays the solo right?

[@SolidWander]

Jeff's voice is fucking awesome. He's just a weird ass performer.

[@acuesto7]

@SolidWander vos sabes ;)

[@diamonddust22]

@itachi456789 It will never be considered uncool. The only uncool, are the people who think it's uncool

[@flyboy22j]

i just shit my pants

[@JesseSoda]

"I'll thank YOU later, *wink wink*"

[@acuesto7]

@itachi456789 this is cool.

[@cudamantra]

@itachi456789 It still is considered cool as far as I'm concerned.

[@JKwoftw]

Chops wise? Are you kidding me? If you're talking just in terms of the lines they write, than yeah, Geddy's lines are timeless. But Alderete plays circles around Geddy.

[@falcobain]

I can't consider Ian Hill as a legendary bassist, although he sounds pretty fine on "Sad Wings of Destiny". Still, that really doesn't make him legendary, and he plays with pick.

[@Soul74]

Yeah dude So-and-so is so much better than What's-his-name blah blah blah. Its music people, not sports.

[@hummarstra]

God, I hate that singer.

[@soeffingwhat]

As a fellow Bassist there are only so many Bass Solos I like, but I always respect Solos like this that don't rely on Billy Sheehan style tapping or Ott Slap Bass.

[@stavsantis]

how do you play that riff, i get the first pentatonic part, but the descending chords?? anyone , can you help? at 21 seconds exactly....
