He signed my Music Man pickguard and chatted with me in Atlanta last Sunday before a Blake Mills show. His kindness and humbleness truly cast a shadow on his musicianship/career. ⭐️
That's really cool. That's always what you hope for when meeting someone who you're a fan of. Glad to hear it didn't go the complete opposite direction. That can really make it difficult to remain a fan.
@@norris_the_great You would have loved it. He was (astonishingly) traveling with the red/tortoise P Bass AND (THE) Stingray fretless. Prayers that nothing happens to either of them. He also had his original OC-2 on the pedal board-complete with custom amber-colored knobs. My ears and eyes have never been more pleased with music. I stood 10 feet from him at the stage for the whole show. It was pretty much the greatest music day of my life! 😅 Oh and Rhett Shull was standing next to me for the whole show! 🤯 Also a very nice (and tall) guy. 🙏
In his interview with Rick Beato, an absolute bass legend Leland Sklar, 10 years older than Pino, mentions Pino as his idol and inspiration. Now that really says something!
When D'angelo Voodoo album came out, i swear i thought there was another bass player named Pino Palladino playing on this album, i just could not conceive that he "upgraded" his playing this way coming from the 80's era, this "neo-soul- jaydilla-drunkenbeat" placement that was completely new and revolutionary for the time 😳 A true master and a living legend🙏
I read an interview with Anthony Jackon many years ago, Pino was the only modern bass player he rated enough to mention in that article...compliments don't get any better than that.
Pino is from Cardiff in South Wales UK, as am I, met him back in the late 80's in a small bar called Sam's Bar, he was very well known even then and he was so nice, vey humble - so pleased that a Cardiff boy has had such a career so far, nice one Pino.
Stuart Zender. The Latin funk basslines on those earlier Jamiroquai albums were sublime & he was a powerhouse live. Mark King deserves a lot more love than he gets these days too, what a legend.
Stuart Zender was the first bassist that made me want to really learn bass. Those funky lines in every early Jamiroquai song really made those albums shine.
Pino is undoubtedly one of the best UK bassists (especially the Voodoo album) but Stuart Zender’s stuff during 92-98 was incredible. The space and groove is unique Example from 1994:- ua-cam.com/video/EzJWjpqZ_6s/v-deo.html 🐐 Dig deeper into the live stuff, he’s arguably the best groove musician
@@djbrady then you will know Howard , AKA Bassdoc ! He also met Leo Fender and visited his workshop ( I’ve seen the photo) in the 70s after winning a competition. 😊
Pino played with Gary Numan (before Paul Young) in 1982. Check out the Music for Chameleons single or the whole I, Assassin album. Pino's sound is integral to the whole album, not just sitting in the background.
Not enough kudos paid to Mick Karn for really popularising the fretless in contemporary pop music. He was doing outstanding work back in ‘79, and continuing on through to the Japan masterpiece, Tin Drum. “Sons of Pioneers” - pure unadulterated class.
If you watch Pino play the intro riff in the interview (2:51) he hits the Bb under the D on the 3rd note. I never noticed that before I first saw this interview a few years ago! Sounds so good!
As a TOP fan, I find it soothingly ironic , that he would name his son Rocco. Perhaps it's just coincidence - but still sort of an honor of homage to the late , great Rocco Prestia...B t W his son is the real deal !!
Pino also slapped the fretless, which can be heard on Come Back and Stay, Freur - Theme from the film of the same name, and Gary Numan White Boys and Heroes. He was a pioneer in that too. 🏴 🐐 Please check out the outro on Tears for Fears Standing on the Corner of the Third World - massive
Yeah, Pino's playing on that whole TFF album is stellar - for me especially on Badman's Song, but absolutely also on Standing as well as Woman In Chains. And yeah his playing all over Gary Numan's I Assassin album is magnificent, and SO high in the mix! Gary really loved his bass players, Mick Karn was also super loud on the prior release (can't remember the name of it right this moment).
I'm sure you've covered this inside there somewhere but what strikes me most about pino is that on top of ALL the awesomeness you've described, he still leaves so much space for the other musicians to shine! Whenever I want to improve my shitty bass playing, all I need to do is think of Pino Palladino 👌
As a kid growing up, Mark King was a massive influence on me as a bassist and Level 42 musically. It would be great to get some proper recognition for him as I feel he was kind of disregarded due to his mainstream pop success (despite some fantastic jazz funk stuff on their earlier records). He's an absolute legend and helped shape and guide my musical tastes.
My favorite recordings seem to happen whenever Russell Elevado (producer/engineer) and Pino Palladino are working on an album ....they´ve got that secret sauce that goes straight to my musical heart....espescially loved the Nikka Costa album.
I saw Paul Young showcase gig in LA. in 83 I was blown away by Pino !! It my first time hearing of him .Then at the end of the show a few rows ahead of me Don Henley stood up turned around and walked out as I did.Next thing I remember about him was hearing "Sunset Grill". wondered if he discovered Pino there that night?
I was lucky enough to meet and hang out with Pino while he played with the who I worked for a band called Shack that supported the who on a number of arena shows around the UK. I spoke to him at length about the dangelo sessions. And even got to play that amazing red P bass which still had flats on . Beautiful perfect bass .
I spent some time in a very small room at the Welsh College of Music and Drama where I studied piano with the legendary Pino, this was in 1977. I could tell he was n his way to a glittering career!! Actually that’s an understatement. Also in the room was a singer from Cardiff who went on to become the lead with Uriah Heep!!!!! Wow the company I kept in those days is awesome 😊
You might remember him playing in The Paddlesteamer in Butetown 77 78 ish in a band called The Outsiders, all Cardiff and docks boys, did covers of Billy Cobham and other jazz fusion stuff
+1 for Pino. But you’ve also overlooked British Robin Mullarkey. Not yet widely collaborated but it will come. The man is incredible, his dynamic playing and ability to explode at the perfect time for maximum impact is huge.
Hey Big Brother weighing in. Caught Pino playing with the Who in Winnipeg for I would think for the last time a few years back. His ability to fit in anywhere to any genre is killa.
Love Pino Palladino since the 80s. Remember when you used to hear a bass or guitar track that just killed, and you had to rush in and check liner notes for the session players….when you see his name on a track, you’re in for a good time. His playing makes you feel all the feels. What a master.
I Love this! What a beautiful showcase of the brilliance of Pino Palladino. Thank you for sharing! Also, anybody else getting tripped up by the ‘59 neck on the Moolon body and vice versa? So strange to me.
A few years ago i saw a video on this channel about Pino playing with D'Angelo, went on to listen to Voodoo and other Soulquarian records. And finally got my first bass 2 weeks ago :) And i my drum parts are Dilla inspired. In short, thanks Scott and the team for putting out such a massive wealth of stuff. It literally changes people's lives and our music
I discovered him and the Octave pedal at the same time with burn your Playhouse down from Paul Young. And the machine gun barrage of notes that should’ve been talked about guys.
The first showcased Pino lick is essentially "The Rite of Spring" opening thing, or "We are The Champions". It is everywhere. Wayne Shorter uses it constantly in many of his tunes.
I love Pino, and my old friend Steve Jordan has played with him for many years, and produced many projects he's played on. However, I get the feeling I should be delving deeper into his catalogue of tunes. When you are THAT prolific, with that many name acts, you can almost be defined as "classic".
It was the early 80's. A 13 yr old me is watching MTV. The video was Come back and stay, by Paul Young. I'd been playing bass for 1yr. I didn't know why but I knew the bass player was a beast! So when he got famous in the states, I could say "where'd you been???" LOL!
Thanks guys ! Of course there are so many bassists to choise from. Paul Denman (Sade) apart from all the sultry basslines he's conjured there are tracks such as 'Snakebite'! Also another Stingray player.
Wow I never really tuned into the bass part of " Everytime you go" until you 2 guys pointed it out tonight. I can now tell why its so unique. WOW! Just WOW!
I de-fretted an old Yamaha bass back in the late 80's so I could get that sound. I could not afford another bass. Loved his playing on Give Blood and I went out and got a used Boss OC-2 to get that Pino sound on that song.
Love Pino.....thanks for showcasing him...... ....he's STILL the great elusive mystery of rich sounds!!! Liked his play on Bob James', "into the silence the green" which put him on my radar....
Richard Sinclair of Hatfield and the north and Camel. Percy Jones of e.g. Brand-X. Both are excellent examples of playing for the song, strong understanding of harmony and superb technique.
Love Pino, his best work for me is with D'Angelo, one of the most talented artist of the past 3 decades, who also had a big impact on Pino's sound and style.
Pino is amazing. As someone who mostly knows what notes I’m playing and why I am in awe of people who don’t read music and play what they hear to be right.
I stood a few feet away from Pino a few years ago when he played a mind blowing set with Jeremy Stacey and Jason Rebello. One of those nights I'll never forget.
Still hanging on a thread for you guys to put out the voodoo album run through for bass, I remember IMA promised this on a much older video, we need it!! Voodoo is one of my top 5 fav records ever and surely Pino is the goat
Pino's fretless bass on Sunset Grill by Don Henley made me fall in love with fretless bass. It's ability to elevate a song with it's unique timbre is very special
Back to the future (part 2) with dangelo is an epic song. How he holds that same groove for the first half of the song really is awesome. I think something that makes him great is he knows how to add to the song
@@musamusashi Hmm. Meant to say how good he is. I use the term underrated to say how elite of an elite level he really is. Nothing less than other worldly tone, timing and runs. He's in a different category from Jaco but the same level of innate capabilities. More maybe?
@Daniel Burbach - Thats the story i know also. John was a pioneer of electric bass. The Real Me is testament to that. So glad he helped bring us Stainless bass strings. Flats are ok, they just sound like old dead strings really.
I saw Brand X live in Baltimore once with Percy on bass. It was the first stop of their US tour at the time I think. They came out and killed a 45 minute set. Then took a break and when they came back they said they’d played all the material they had prepared. Either we could all go home or they could play it all again. Needless to say the audience cheered them on to play the set again and it was amazing.
Cool melody, Stravinski, whoever owns it. I have heard other bassists do a similar melody, not super complex. Marcus Miller could do stuff like this too sometimes, with melody he's very good. It's like you guys said, he's rhythmically just so strong and on point. He can play anything in key, it's going to sound excellent. Seemed to be incredibly effective, for Pino HERE. Makes me wonder, what type of melodies I should be playing. I guess when you play something pretty and beautiful sounding, people are going to take notice, I kind of forgot about that approach. I should try to play prettier sounding melodies, that seems technically reachable. All these speedy bassists out there nowadays...some are insane to keep up with. Now I'm trying to make a concerted effort to slow down and work on having more of a soft touch. You can tell he plays Jazz, Pino. This example of Pino makes me think even more about my approach, I'm pretty much done wailing on my bass, unless it's a Larry Graham or Louis Johnson song, some heavy funk, then very hard not to dig in and just slap.
I find all of Pino's D'Angelo stuff pretty hard to transcribe by ear and would love it if you did a long form breakdown of a track like Chicken Grease or The Line
In the eighties I was into hard rock, like Maiden and stuff like this. But one day I opened the tv and there was that show of Paul Young. Of course I would have never listened to Young in that period but Palladino was on bass and caught my attention. Never heard of Palladino before and I'm sure I didn't even know who he was after that show on tv but i watched the whole show and was so impressed. I would never have thought I could listen to an all show of Paul Young 😅 but Palladino was incredible. I think he played with a music man maybe ? This I don't remember but it was crazy all the bass line. This was in 1985 in Austrian tv. Cheers

For real. Lol. Man's said "I wanna be just like him when I grow up!"
I feel the same way about Kingfish.
Pino's playing with NIN miraculously transformed the band. It's astonishing to listen to some of the tunes with and without him played back to back.
He elevates everything he touches. Started with Paul Young in the 1980s. Those RnB covers Paul Young did would be straight boring without his playing.
Sanctified, am I right?

The album, to me, where Pino shines the brightest is "The Secret of Association" by Paul Young. An absolute masterclass of gorgeousness!
I agree 100%.

Indeed. I remember hearing that single and thinking: hello - this guy's a bit special...
Gary Numan's "I Assassin" release is a bass tour de force by Pino
I ran down to my basement and ripped the frets out of my bass with plyers when I heard that album. I still love playing that riff today.
Pino also played alongside Mick Karn on Numan's 'Dance' album - sometimes it is difficult to tell which one of them is playing what. :D
Not enough kudos paid to Mick Karn for really popularising the fretless in contemporary pop music. He was doing outstanding work back in ‘79, and continuing on through to the Japan masterpiece, Tin Drum. “Sons of Pioneers” - pure unadulterated class.

Pino’s opening part on the live version of Sanctified by Nine Inch Nails is incredible.
"I Wish It Would Rain Down" is just Phil, Eric and Pino. That was the first song I noticed how awesome the bass was with Pino on it. Pure genius!

Gary Numan hired Pino in 1982 to continue what Mick Karn did the previous year with fretless bass, that's the only reason Paul Young discovered him
His son is following right in his footsteps. He even has the "Pino Head Bop" when he plays.

It's like you guys said, he's rhythmically just so strong and on point. He can play anything in key, it's going to sound excellent. Seemed to be incredibly effective, for Pino HERE. Makes me wonder, what type of melodies I should be playing. I guess when you play something pretty and beautiful sounding, people are going to take notice, I kind of forgot about that approach. I should try to play prettier sounding melodies, that seems technically reachable. All these speedy bassists out there nowadays...some are insane to keep up with. Now I'm trying to make a concerted effort to slow down and work on having more of a soft touch. You can tell he plays Jazz, Pino. This example of Pino makes me think even more about my approach, I'm pretty much done wailing on my bass, unless it's a Larry Graham or Louis Johnson song, some heavy funk, then very hard not to dig in and just slap.
Please throw Bruce Thomas from Elvis Costello some love. His lines always kill!
I find all of Pino's D'Angelo stuff pretty hard to transcribe by ear and would love it if you did a long form breakdown of a track like Chicken Grease or The Line
1:27 pino palladino
2:51 fretless
4:14 he brought back the p bass flatwounds sound
In the eighties I was into hard rock, like Maiden and stuff like this. But one day I opened the tv and there was that show of Paul Young. Of course I would have never listened to Young in that period but Palladino was on bass and caught my attention. Never heard of Palladino before and I'm sure I didn't even know who he was after that show on tv but i watched the whole show and was so impressed. I would never have thought I could listen to an all show of Paul Young 😅 but Palladino was incredible. I think he played with a music man maybe ? This I don't remember but it was crazy all the bass line. This was in 1985 in Austrian tv. Cheers
I love this format!! super conversational, feels like I'm there with you guys
Please do a 5 reasons why Dee Murray is the greatest. Dee has been gone now for 30 years but he has some truly unique playing on Elton John's early albums.
Totally agree! Amazing player, totally underrated! His playing on Rocket mans intro is sublime!!
Good call! One ot most tasteful and melodic bassists ever !
I absolutely agree. Great player, highly underrated.
'New York Minute' ..I'll leave that right there 😊
Pino is such a beautiful, tasteful player. A legend.
