I feel like the bass tone is better in this video than the actual album version
That's the case in most bass playthrough
I agree. The guitar is thick as fuck too. If you haven’t checked out the garden if shankra Mesa boogie playthrough the guitar tone on that is sick too. All the bass playthroughs are live as fuck sounding though.
I very much agree.
Yea John didn’t do so well with the mixing on the record so these playthroughs sound so much better
same for the guitar, idk why but monuments always tend make their album guitars sound so cheap
Proof that the bass is still relevant in a world of 8-string guitars.
+TakavaNirhii (near-eye) Don't get me wrong, I love Monuments/Swanny.. That said Animals As Leaders does a swell job without a bassist I'd say..
+Tae McGrew AAL still needs a bass part, it's just that they play a recording live instead of having a bass player.
+Andrew Suzuki ....... That's not right. They, according to themselves, don't need a bass player since the guitars already cut into the bass frequencies, so it would just be unnecessary. Yes, I know that Periphery uses a bass player, even on the lowest songs, but they don't structure songs the same way as Animals As Leaders does.
On the first AAL record, they never recorded bass, they just pitched the guitar a little bit to fatten it up a little bit. On the second record I'm not sure if they recorded bass.
+oggel33t I've seen them live and talked to them personally. they definitely use bass tracks. its easily detectible on albums and live.
+oggel33t I can't speak for Weightless, but I'm pretty sure they had bass on the latest album. As far as whether bass is necessary or not in such low tunings, it's really just relative to what's actually being played, and the kind of aesthetic you want your mixes to have. Bass probably isn't as crucial for a lot of the clean passages that AAL does, but when it comes to low-tuned riffing, I'd say bass is still an absolutely essential part of the mix.
Swanny is such a Fucking boss.
Dude played slap, finger, and with a pick.
Right,Brandon Maccombs ? Agree.... :D
it actually looks like he uses his index finger as the pick??
RIX83 Nah, he actually uses a pick. He holds it between his lips in the beginning!
Jxhvnnes the beard acts as camouflage for the pick
When they'll have like 10strings on a guitar, bassists will just need to use 7string bass etc, end of the story to come..
Swan is amazing. Guys like him and Nolly who can actually keep up with their guitarists and don't just play 000-00-000-0000-00 all the time are really refreshing.
Hah! That's what happens when your bass player is the best guitar player.
Dunno about this guy, but Nolly is primarily a guitarist..so... yeah.
there is lot of bassists who dont just copy stupid shit. Those bassist are not even bass players. Agree with u , its always refreshing see bassists who dont play the same shit all over again. ♥
Angi D lol browne and i dont remember the other guys name are as good as swan
I good bassist will follow the drum rhythm, guitar rhythm and guitar lead.
That Aristides bass is the most gorgeous bass I've ever seen.
Swan is such an underrated bassist.
oh yeah, the guy write some super tasty and inventive bass lines
higler420 Browne writes the parts (both guitar and bass). Swan improvises on said parts while playing live.
I LOVE the way that Adam switches between slapping, playing with a pick and his fingers.
John Browne is probably my favourite guitarist, his rhythm playing is just insanely tight and groovy, never seen anything like it....
that riffing technique is mental..after John I like Keith Marrow for his composition genius
toastpfanne yea he has the most proficient technique I've seen, really reminds me of the guys from meshuggah with just how locked in he is
Corusal I agree! John Browne's picking is like robotic, it's the most insane playing Ive ever seen.
Same man, he’s a big reason why monuments are one of my top 5 all time bands
this is what the genre should sound like! absolutely beast!
They are crushing...
Generic?
Generic? Are you fucking kidding? Dude your taste is a joke lmfao
seeing John anchor his pinky too makes me feel so much better about it
same, I heavily anchor pinky, i'm also a filthy lefty.
I hope this band gets HUGE. I am a die hard Periphery fan, but I honestly think I like this a bit more. Crazy string work!
NiceCannon Sorenson - Feeling the same way. Some serious guitar sorcery going on here. Thanks for watching!
Je suis d'accord avec vous. J'ai découvert Monuments récemment et c'est vraiment très bon !
Je redécouvre par ailleurs ce morceau en particulier qui, avec ce mix là, prend beaucoup plus d'ampleur; en effet la guitare et la basse sont beaucoup plus audibles et appréciables que sur le mix de l'album.
Merci d'avoir regardéMiniboulette !
it makes it so much more fun to watch when u can see the musician fighting a smile ^.^
1:27 every time that part plays my heart skips a beat it's so heavy!
0:36 that bass vibrato sounds so good
it's gonna be so fuckin' hard for 'em to top an album like this one ... Amanuensis is a gem !!
+Siddharth Sharma Don't hype it up to a million degrees. Yes I love every piece written by these guys but expecting too much will never satisfied your needs. Be calm and patient and they will live up to the name, as long as we can support them.
They are the best modern group, in my opinion. Such addictive grooves!!
i thought the first album was much rawer, so in a way i feel lucky to have better to look forward to:D
Agreed, really like the new direction of Monuments and John Browne's work. Hoping for Baretto to keep the same vocal viber and the rest of the band really exploring the concept album niche.
Never underestimate a truly passionate musician as such. ;P Thier life mission is to blow minds, quite effectively.
1:00 Adam Swan is grinning like a man that _knows_ it's grooving.
It's the pick in his mouth haha
he wasn't grinning or smiling.
I could listen to that ‘outro’ riff the whole day
Sooooo Great! PLEASE keep making videos like this!
Thanks,Júnior Casagrande - Will do!
Dont you just love it, how in every video with John, his right hand looks like its in fast forward!?
and his contorted pinky that he anchors on the high e string. Dude is a monster
Uh...no it doesn't. Not sure if you're trying to imply something there..
Chad DeBeau
It's a lot more apparent in Browne's I, the Creator EMG playthrough.
His picking is aggressive as fuck, super quick.
Subranis And the Doxa play through. I, The Creator, just before the bridge when he plays the opening bit but on the low strings is insanely aggressive downpicking, and Doxa is just insane everywhere.
He downpicks a ton.
dear god... the tones, man
THEM TONESSSS
2018 and this is still THE riffage. Brown is the dude.
Agreed! Thanks, flapjax
2021
Really surprised there haven't been Guitar + Bass Play-throughs. This is awesome. Always wanted to see how this song was played exactly cuz some of those low-F notes are hard to decipher in the mix.
I feel like this is the first time i've seen Browne upstroke.
Dat bass playing tho
I literally watch this over and over again because that bass is gorgeous and so is the playing, Swan plays with such style. That is not to say John is not it's just I care less about guitars :D
Yeah truth is they're both out of this world ;)
So much energy in the song from the riffage thats just maintained the whole way throughout
The riffing on this song is just amazing! Great stuff.
Swan smiles, my heart melts.
The riff in the beginning is one of the best I've ever heard
The end is the best part! The riff is mesmerising!
These guys are amazing! That bass tone though!
Man the level of appreciation and admiration I am developing right now is getting to the point where I'd gladly write a dissertation on your songwriting genius. I've had this song on repeat all day analysing it, the riff construction and progression and just basking in aural bliss haha, Divergence tour date at the RoundHouse is going to phenomenal. Fanboy out.
That is one glorious room to play in!
Outstanding, great duo.
in love with Mesa Boogie all over again! 😍
Oh boy the amount of groove here🤘🤘
love this sooooo much !
Lovely. Thanks, John.
Bass is everything in this masterpiece
The chills man!
talent is off the charts
This is freaking kickass. Thanks to a friend for showing me this.
Really solid stuff!!!!
Such a good song... Recently covered it on a drums, and had a blast!
Keep groovin guys
Its surprising how calm they look now vs hen they play live...its like they transform into different people on stage
Power of a decent crowd bro
Look I know we all know Browne's an incredible guitarist, but can we just appreciate Swanny's CRAZY talent? And his tone???
Excellent mixing, and the performance as well. Crushed it.
Thanks, David!
3 years later and this is still the best djent of all time.
1:50 the way he growls "seeking two" and then it drops, so sick!
God damn this is awesome
That’s a really nice growl on the bass guitar, love it!!
This song is pretty amazing.
That quilted neck is absolutely gorgeous. Have yet to try an aristides though
That is fantastic
The Mark V is badass!!! It's this and the TC-50 that blow me away
Thanks, Daniel! :)
This is sooo good I almost didn't notice the jeans situation
Geniaaaaal!!!!!
ending part is riff of the century 🤘🏻😩🤘🏻
I love how chill the bassist is playing that disgusting riff
Really cool !!!!
egypt instrumental djent
Yeahhhh
like shokran band from russia
i love this music.
I could watch Browne's right hand technique all day
How am I just finding out about this. What a great song.
EPIC!
holy anoa. this is amazing. I thing i'm a fan now
Im not really into this genre of rock, but these guys have some skills! Damn!
This makes me miss Fellsilent even more
perfect location.really cool playthrough tho
Thanks, Fred Fredoliiin - We thought so too! Insane room. :D
Insanely tight musicians very impressive and Mesa is the one and only in amps!!!
Thank you,AlexAlexanderLIVE !
You've obviously never heard of Line-6
Art.
Thank you, Tiger!
terrifyingly good
I have never had the desire for an 8 string before, but after seeing that regius i want one
awesome ...
Thanks, +J. Harkins ! :D
And that aristrides bass is gorgeous.
love this band, Baretto adds a lot
MattMoultonMusic too bad he’s gone now 😢💔
F'n Awesome.
The dream team. So proficient
Then you add in Mike Malyan and this band is really underrated. They are extremely talented
these guys look like they could be brothers
so sick...
what an album
1:43-1:50 that's what I call passion for music when you see that expression.
Definitely some serious planning!
I don't think I will ever recover from the fact that Swany left the band
I can't WAIT until they come out with a new album!
Agreed, +WuKingdom1 ! :D
+MESA/Boogie SAME!! Especially with Anup! Monuments has a massive sound already; Anup has a massive sound of his own. The combination is going to be unreal.
Anup left :'(
F0dd3r FeelsBadMan
This reminds me of ancient times.
Such is life ....
Yup don't have money for those instruments or the gear (saving up for a new car at the moment), but I loved watching this playthrough of one of my most favorite songs
Talent.
Swan is the man!!!
I would never put that 050 down haha, the fret-board would mesmerize me all my life!
This mix actually sounds better than of the original song
pssssssst...... It's 2021 and this is still sick!
Post Malone's real good on the bass
Ha! Indeed... :)
HDx89 get your eyes checked my dude
@@Belknap307 i guess adam sure has short hair and tats in hes face right?

@@Belknap307 ever heard of a joke?
“As a standard guitarist……I bow to a bassist, every single time I meet one….”-ib🤘🏼🔥
solid
Level wow!!
Increíble increíble brutal
Jesus what a beautiful song 😟
Wow,strong !
.Adam the bass is killer....peace..
I just love the ending...
I've never seen a bass with inline tuners and it looks awesome
What? Fender's been making inline headstocks on basses since 1950 lol
