STRANGLERS | JJ BURNELL | PUNK | P BASS | PRECISION BASS
The Stranglers sound built around a lead bass and organ, perfection !
Tank! Finally someone plays it like it should be played. Hard, pick, hammer it!
Agree totally
...and also kick the front of your cab in for authenticity! 🤟😂
Jjs tone is unique but hitting too hard you get a death rattle jjs just hits hard enough including his tone .
Fucking excellent. The Stranglers are my favourite band, and the reason why l took up bass- you NAILED it. Solid.
Thanks for posting.
Love the fact that you're grinning your head off throughout the video. Your bass guitar & keyboard playing are excellent 👌... seriously if you ever need an old school Stranglers / Damned/ Velvet Underground Doorsy style singer for recording? I'm your man. Another Stranglers video please?..... failing that one on Paul Gray of the Damned? Keep rocking 😎
I was Lucky enough to meet JJ in September 93 in Dartmoor prison when we won this music competition and got a 10k sound system from Bose as a prize. Jj and the new lead singer came up and did a gig to which we played support, still have the VHS tape. First time they played Sugar bullets live. JJ played my bass 😁😁😁
@@nigelpearce703 Nice one. That story trumps the times I've met him.
I think Danny has raised the bar on these play a long vids and I might do one like this soon. Luckily the song I picked is not in his repertoire. "Nice and Sleazy" is a real pain in the ass to nail. Was gonna wimp out with "No More Heroes" instead as it is a lot easier to play even with that crazy intro.
Great great great comment,mine too......
JJ Burnel my ultimate musical hero, closely followed by Chris Squire. If only more musicians could understand that the bass isn't just there to set a rhythm but is a characterful musical instrument in its own right. With both JJ and Squire the tune is driven by the bass guitar rather than it being some sort of metronomic accompaniment as it so often is.
I should mention Glenn Hughes here too - he's definitely my No.3, sharing that position with you, Danny, of course. Thank you for this beautifully played JJ tribute. mate - it's made me smile.
The bass and drums are the sponge, the guitar and keyboards are the cream and icing sugar. One is no good without the other!
John Entwistle of the Who was one of the greatest exponents of playing "lead guitar" with a bass.
McCartney turned the bass into a true musical instrument - most of his melodies on it are better than many lead guitarists.
JJ Burnel has one of the most iconic punk bass tones in my opinion, it’s so biting it’s absolutely awesome. Great job, man
His tone is insane, I love ‘Nice and Sleazy!!!’
For me, JJ Burnel perpetrates THE greatest bass sound of any kind, anywhere. It's just catalysmic.
How talented is this guy. Brilliant
When you were a glint in your dad's eye... I was watching the strangers live. Your posting is absolutely.brilliant. As another poster says "you nailed it !"
i went twice when they were on raven tour, hammersmith and i think Camden was the other venue
Yes!!! J. J. Burnell is one of the greatest behs players ever! I’m loving your channel Danny!❤
Such great basslines. People are so wrapped up in technical ability these days that they forget about the creative side of writing a great (quite often fairly simple) bassline.
Too right, I hear quite a few guys on bass who are technically brilliant who can play really fast with all that tapping stuff going on......
But give me a simple punchy sounding bass line to a good song anyday.
Almost as much a celebration of the late, great Dave Greenfield - JJ's bass and Dave's keyboards ARE The Stranglers. Bass and keyboards are all that's needed to create that utterly distinctive sound
The stranglers will always be my favourite band. Amazing music.
Outstanding tribute! JJB and the Stranglers are always deserving of more recognition. (You left out Nice N Sleazy tho..;) )
Fr the best bassline of them all in my opinion
That was the first song I hear when I went to my first club and I went crazy flipping on my back i was just a kid, in heaven back then, Sleazy drove me insane as I never heard anything like that before.
It is one of the greatest bass lines ever written
Brilliant job. I would have loved to see the bass run at the end of Straighten Out just to see how he played it. Another fav was the bass solo at the end of genetics or the Raven bass line. Don't get me started. What a band they were live.
Absolutely outstanding. I could have sworn it was the legend himself playing.
Great to see you enjoying playing The Stranglers music as much as I enjoy listening - absolutely brilliant 😁👏👌🖤
Stranglers have been on my playlist since 77. Awesome Stuff.
same here....
Absolutely
Wow, how did you get that JJ distorted bass sound? I know JJ's bass amp speaker had a tear in it creating that distinctive distortion. Great versions, you really captured their sound and can play guitar, bass and keyboards - very impressive
Excellent showcase on the unique brilliance of JJ. Saw those badboys back in 78, still buzzin😎🎶
JJ Burnell's bass lines were the hook for me back in the day... of course the greatness of the Stranglers was much more than that but it was the bass line that drew me in.
Me too! First heard Peaches on Radio Luxembourg and I was hooked back in ‘77
I don't normally like these type of cover videos, but this one is well played Sir. Thumbs up.
Excellent ! The bass sound is spot on. You even look like young JJ Burnel !
Brilliant stuff mate. This is what got me into The Stranglers......Burnels amazing basslines and Daves stunning hammond, keyboards. R.I.P DAVE😇.....Great work fella👍🍺
All the punk attitude but critically the Stranglers had so much more. Great musicians and song writers. One of the greatest bass tones married superbly to the superb rippling arpeggios of Dave's keyboards.
correct👌
Go Buddy Go 👍, bloody good .The Great Elmyr has some serious competition.
totally brilliant, could listen all day
Brilliant had it with me breakfast !!!
Thank you so much. Made my day! ❤ Stranglers forever! Greatest songs. Sweet est memories.
Ha absolutely brilliant, can't believe the base start to no more heroes...keep it coming lad, more please!!!!
I grew up on the Stranglers. I don't understand the lack of retrospective worship the band doesn't receive. WTF?
fantastic treat ! cheers !
massive respect to John's basslines
probably the most underrated band in the UK music history
Strangles..... So much more then what the radio plays of them. (Golden Brown/ There's always the sun)
Amazing. Just bloody amazing.
Seriously, seriously good stuff. As another commenter said, you've nailed JJ's tone.
Sounding good dude. Love peaches.
One of the main reasons I started playing bass. Good video!
Excellent kick ass clip. You nailed all the song from my favourite album..plus No More Heros. I enjoyed every second😎👍.
Excellent , love jj bass lines , also Dave Greenfields keyboards were great too
Brilliant! Thanks mate. Stranglers were, and still are fantastic. Top man.
There’s no rock’n’roll without danger and he always delivered
Wow! This is brilliant. Exactly like the originals.
Awesome stuff! Nailed the bass and the Dave Greenfield keys was amazing too!
Jj burnell world's greatest bass player
Well done...you must have spent some time on this and its really good.
love this mate..first saw the stranglers in 1980 at the Glasgow Apollo then again in 81 same venue then numerous places after, my fav band of all time..
That is just amazing. You've even somehow managed to capture his early sound which was a burst speaker. The other instruments are also spot on too. I'm a massive Stranglers fan and also a vocalist is there anyway i could hear the full songs? I'd love to put a vocal onto them.
I to jest właśnie muzyka: rytm + melodia. Dziękuję Ci bardzo.
JJ. Burnell had a strong style and gave it some . Very good !! Xxx
If only I could play like that!
Beautiful thing that a great young talent appreciates this iconic band, well done you are great, and thanks (:
I love Tank. Great JJ, great Dave. Loved Hugh too
You are so good,lad.. i first saw the Stranglers in 1978 in Hamburg and they are still the greatest for me...thank you so much for your Chanel..
That bass tone is spot on - nice work.
So good to see Tank in the list. More please :)
That was awesome . I've been listening to The Stranglers for 44 yrs now - LOVE JJ:s bass , clearly you do too . And that start of No More Heroes - brilliant ! Thanks .
have you heard rob wright from the now defunct canadian band nomeansno? brilliant bass player...very influenced by jj
Great stuff, man! You got it right.
Bass was always my favorite instrument, first hearing Entwhistle in HS and Chris Squire, but it wasn't until I heard the Stanglers at about 18 that I had to learn it myself. Burnel had such a powerful crunchy attack and the band themselves were and still my remain one of my all time favorites almost forty years later. Great video, solid playing.
Nice 1 mucker! JJB my fave bassist and I'd say in the top 10 ever. What d'ya reckon?
So pleased you included Hanging Around’! Filthy, SEXY base tone….!!
String companies should have used JJ Burnel to test the ruggedness of their products.
Bloody Brilliant you are a one man Stranglers tribute act..you Nailed it
I love the fact that he is so happy for playing JJs basslines welldone!!!!!
I like the Andy Partridge look more than the later grebo aesthetic. I didn't even know you were the same guy!
You nailed it. Excellent.
when we started a band in 1977 i played bass - the one thing that stopped me hitting the big time was lack of any kind of talent, that and being tone deaf, and errr counting. pity really, i would have have enjoyed being a star
Dee O'Neil from the Undertones?
Excellent! Just excellent.
Thanks for giving this criminally underrated band some exposure.
I happened to meet the band during a holiday stay with a Brighton couple in '83 as a payin' guest. I was in my early teens and had merely just discovered the variety of punk. Never had heard of them before and was blown away by their music as much as their personalities. Been a fan ever since but their early phase creativity and energy will remain unsurpassed 4ever.
PS: As a guitarist I do some occasional bass for recordings and I think soundwise I always end up with some kind of weird mashup of JJ Burnel and Lemmy. :-D
If it was not enough to rock out JJ's basslines you got Dave Greenfield's (RIP) keyboard parts down perfectly. Hugh's guitar sounding good also. Are Jack's drums gonna come next? This has to be one if the best play a long videos I have ever seen.
The "4 hats on the coatstand" is a nice touch :)
Brilliant-used to be an avid stranglers fan,back in the day !!
What are you using for your distortion? New sub..that was fantastic!!
The bit during Grip where you look at your invisible watch cracks me up every time 😂😂
Great bass and keyboards!
The best bassist ever, and rip Dave greenfield, together they were fkin awesome
I first saw the Stranglers in 1978, Finsbury Park Rainbow, London. Nice job here showing us how complex much of it was from the bass-lines through DaveG's soaring riffs.
Cool as f**k mate!!
Amazing, very talented. Loved the Stranglers. Fantastic band. Particularly J J Burnel, he's gorgeous. Wish he was my man
Danny, that was awesome. Nailed it and looked good doing it
Good job! I've been a stranglers fan since the beginning, and you captured the "feel" but missed the magic of Dave's keys.
Best on UA-cam! Brilliant.
Dude!!! YOU KILLED IT!!!! Awesome!!!! Stanglers fanatic here since the 70s.
this is hands down the total bollocks
I can’t stop watching this, haha!
Brilliant, nicely done, some classic Stranglers riffs back-to-back the soundtrack to my youth, thoroughly enjoyed that.
More Stranglers Please 🙂
Perfection !
Loving that emotional, gut wrenching PB tone. JJB is one of my heroes from back in the day, nothing compares to his original attacking bass sound. Dave Curran from Unsane is pretty close though.
My first taste of the Stranglers was a c90 cassette with the No More Heroes album and most of Ian Dury- New Boots and Panties filling up the bit of spare tape at the end… happy days 😁 awesome stuff mate.
I’ve been listening to the “Black and White” album since my teens. Absolutely LOVE IT. Oddly, never checked out other Stranglers albums because I’m afraid they’d only disappoint me, I love B&W so much.
Can't stop playing this brilliant
I was about to say "wow, aging JJ Burnel looks a lot like Danny Sapko!..."
Excellent musicianship. 👍
The Stranglers' sound was so bassful. ❤
I both admire your level of talent and loathe your level of talent in equal measure! 😂 Absolutely stunning job....on all 3 instruments. And believe me, I grew up on all of these tracks and lucky enough to hear and meet the Stranglers on quite a few occasions. Really wonderful tribute to them, man. Thank you so much for sharing and the work you put into each track. It's as faithful as you'll find anywhere. 👍
It's a combination of Peter Hook and JJ that spurred me to try and play the bass. I am no where near this standard after 45 years. The Strangler sound is so well captured with the JJ Bass and the Dave Greenfield key boards. Your video has an 'air' of Black and White about it. My favourite Stranglers Album. Lets hear nice and Sleezy! On sometimes you play chords? Part Chords?
Nice and Sleazy... I've been trying to make a weird acoustic guitar version of it where the guitar plays the bass riff and guitar :) Good stuff, your bass... really good. The smile is well earned.
What bass are you using? It sounds sweet! Keep up the good work!
Fkn brought a tear to my eye mate .. all those songs I could never play cos I’m nowhere near as good as JJ and now I can slow down your vid and have a go myself . Merci mon ami , you cool as Fk btw and you def can play them instruments AND look like your just having the best time , 👍🏴
VERY GOOD + ; but you're not JJ . as advertised . And the sleazy riff is the greatest bass riff sequence ever . But outstanding presentation
Love it - brilliant!
Did you do a short on getting JJ's behs sound Danny? If you did I've somehow missed it. Ps this is absolutely fab, thanks!
That was totally worth the wait
That was fantastic! Took me down memory lane. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
