I grew up in the 80s....how the hell did I miss this masterful basslord? I have a ton of catching up to do!

[@DrummerIvanB]

[@xtrict]

Vail is a monster!

[@Swalexbass]

He really lets the bass sing, it was like listening to an entire composition piece not just some random doodly solo. So cool!

[@VailJohnson]

I just discovered your work, watched a lot of your videos and I'm blown away. Never heard nobody like this on a bass before. Great tone, so much dynamics. Thank you for inspiring me. Greeting from Brazil!

I don't hear so much jazz, but I could say that he's in the top 5 off the best bassist of all time.

[@CuzBassShow1966]

Saw you Vail Johnson on Arsenio Hall Show, Mr. Johnson you are extremely melodic and the sickest slap technique! I don't compare but les just say I am sure MM approves highly of you! Being a bass player myself I see there is a huge road ahead lol I subscribed to your channel thanks!

The percussionist was so into making faces he forgot to play lol

[@alanaldpal950]

He gets his own solo too…. Pretty impressive

[@seth5394]

what is the melody played at 3:21? the double hit chord progression?? i swear i have heard that in a song?!!? were you teasing something?

[@VailJohnson]

nothing intentional, just jamming on what comes to mind in the moment

[@seth5394]

ah man, just amazing. thunder thumbs, roger waters, joe dart, tina weymouth,etc. no one does it like the legendary vail johnson. i show you to all my friends and they have the same reaction. WOW!! 😮😮😮

[@ravenpihonak2529]

No one Vail when it comes to those solo's "He is Rippin' it....KILL BROTHER...

[@earlgarcia6106]

Vail always choose the right notes, never to much to make it seem silly..plus that tone Jesus
