That's ME!! I'm super proud to have been a drummer for BMG for the past 12 years, and it was really an honor to be featured in this special!
💙
@@bluemangroup That's just amazing. I hope that the last 3 years were less rough than others have had it, especially with less live shows.
I'm a drummer guy, from Tony Williams to Simon Philips to Joe Morello when I was 11 years old. I was amazed by the guy in the Chicago BMG in the 2006 to 2008 group. He was as good an in the groove as any band member I've ever heard and seen. i even waited to shake his hand at the exit of the show. congratulations on 12 years. It got to be hard to do it so many times with passion and enthusiasm.
Dream come true right there!!! Whooooot. (I'm in Jealy town :) )
Shak Nasti gang
I really need BMG to come to Nottingham or Derby - in England that is!
The background track is the same background track used by my local radio station for over a decade now. I had no idea where it couldve come from until now! AWESOME! 94.5 THE BUZZ HOUSTON!
I saw them in Vegas in like 2010. We got to the show a bit early and were talking to the couple next to us when the stage manager came up to me and asked it I wanted to be in the show. They had me put on special shoes that show up somehow under black lights so the blue men know who to pick out of the audience. It was super cool to get taken up on stage and be part of the show.
"Everything that we play is the voice of the Blue Men." So cool! It's something that I never thought of....but YES!
The second time I went to a Blue Man Group show, I purposely stared at the band members, they're so full of energy!
Edit: Been to the Universal Orlando one at least 3 times (hopefully I'll get to see the show when I'm there this coming week!) and I saw the New York show once
So much Colors!
So much music!
So much fun!
Didy Krki true
As a former 15 year improv musician at an incredible show and a percussionist, this journey and feel is amazing and perfect for how improv should BE!!! Love it!!! There's something really special about people who get the "improv" element!!
First time I saw the show in Orlando I thought the band were animatronics, they were fascinating to watch !
The show is such spectacle for all of the senses . The visuals of the blue men and the amazing lighting beautifully inter woven with the beautiful sounds of the AWSOME band ...... THANKYOU ! 💙💙💙💙👌🏼🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Don't worry...a lot of people think that, which is why we wanted to show our band is alive and much more talented than robots. 💙
Blue Man Group .Absolutely! We always make sure we get photos with the band as well as the Blue men 👌🏼🤘🏽🤘🏽💙💙💙
There it is, right there, "everything is played live in every show, mistakes and all, it's an organic thing, every night." Great band guys, kicking ass!
That "bowing" technique on the Stick sounded like an electric cello first time I heard it! Now I'm in love with the Stick and sometimes I really really want one
Hi there 🙋
No doubt about that the Blue Man Band is alive. Who was to the Blue Man Show...shall confirm it. Members of the Band are astonishing and professional players 👌 Are an essential part of BMG! So l always tip my hat to you guys! 👍🎼🎸😉
The band just make blue man group more alive and special it doesn't matter if there always live or not it wouldn't feel the same with out them. P.s I have met Kevin when I went to see the show in ORLANDO when I dressed up as I blue man.
Kevin is great. Kevin is awesome. We love Kevin.
Blue man group yeah Kevin is really nice and he encourage me to audition for Blue Man Group.
Blue Man Group I long for my reunion with my beloved Blue Man Group family. Our voices will be heard and felt again!
The kian channel thank you for your kind words! I'm honored and privileged to have met you and performed for you here in Orlando. Please let me know when you plan on returning so we can catch up in person again. Be well, safe and healthy, friend!
Kevin, thank you so much for replying to me, it was awesome to meet you back in October of 2018 when I dressed up as a Blue Man. I hope to return Christmas 2021
I got to see the band perform live in Las Vegas about 18-20 years ago when I was in middle/high school. It was the last time I've been to Vegas but we went there on vacation 3 or 4 times before that. At the end of the show, they used these fans above the seating to blow huge rolls of like single ply toilet paper over everyone followed by a bunch of confetti. About 4 or 5 seconds into this spectacle, I glanced up and saw a roll of the 1-ply falling towards me. Somehow, I managed to catch it and took it with me as a souvenir 😆. After the show, there were several of the "band members" hanging out for pictures and stuff, three of them took my toilet paper and all signed 1 letter: "B" "M" "G." It was bizarre and surreal to say the least, but they had a great sense of humor.
That was a great vacation because we stayed in the Luxor towards the top (and inside you can see everything below you) and also went to see Penn and Teller for a show and meet & greet (where I first heard Teller speak.) I'd wanted an autograph but I'd lost/tossed my program sheet. Penn asked if I had anything else he could sign and I pulled out a dollar bill. He laughed, went into a bit of a rant about the designs on the dollar, crossed out "God" with a sharpie ("because Congress shall make no law appoint a state religion,") and autographed it. Teller drew on George Washington's portrait [with a Hitler mustache, devil horns, and surprised eyes] before laughing out loud and also autographing it.
As a professional musician,Drummer/percussion and lead guitarist/strings i thought i’d never say this,but this looks like a ton of fun! At this point in my life,I’d totally be down to jam with BMG!
I feel you guys have perfectly captured what Jazz would look like if it were a physical object. Not saying the music is jazz. The theme is like that.
Thank you ... don't stop ... Most enjoyable
Can't stop. Won't stop.
The Blue Man Group soundtrack is a classic
You know, I'm always so transfixed to the Blue Man when I see the show (I saw it for the second time September 2018) but I really don't think it would be the show that it is without the band! The energy that they bring is just amazing and the music is just so inspiring and moving in a way? It moves me in a way of nostalgia for the show, as well as adventure. Plus, I NEVER listen to instrumental music, because I love to sing so much, but I absolutely LOVE listening to Audio! Thank you Blue Man Band, for all of your hard work that you do every night!
Ask Tony Levin about the Chapman Stick!! Love it!!! (and for the record, the Zither is not unique...)
You need to have a mirror image of what the Zither player is doing. Just enough so you can understand the intricacies of what he's doing. Maybe work a visual element to the instrumentation?
Saw the Vegas show at Luxor last June. We loved it! What was even better was getting to meet the band after the show and getting our picture taken with them. What a group of awesome guys, definitely going to see the show again in the future.
I've seen BMG twice now and am totally fixated on the band. If I could play half that well it would be a dream come true..:)
Would love to be a Blueman. Meet Adam a couple of years ago when me and the family did the VIP experience in August 2017
Ehh? what DID I not see? thought the BlueMan band only played the Tubes / Pipes with some other backing. so much more to it than I expected. thanks for the education! Greetings from Scotland ( home of THE pipes ! ) 🙂
The Blue Man Band truly rocks!
The Band is easily the most underrated section of the whole experience.
Easily my favorite part.
Insane! Musically not what i was expected
I saw you in Florence-Italy , great memory .. my eyes and ears where in you up there.
Keep it up!!
You guys should do the PVC next! I've been playing the marimba for most of my life and I love the sound, but when I first heard the PVC I instantly fell in love with its tribal and industrial timbre. I'd LOVE to know how it works! (Especially how it goes from white to multicolored... I could use that for a few of our high school theater productions...)
If you love the PVC, you should checkout our In The Studio episode about how we created the sounds and design for the custom instrument - ua-cam.com/video/AUb8ybmdBF4/v-deo.html
Always been a dream of mine to drum for them.
Pretty sure that one Blue Man is Maynard! It all makes sense now...
Small world...
I used to work for Andrew's uncle, and my brother was friends with Andrew before they broke out.
Best band ever
I heard a few of the vegas guys took lessons from that one bebop guy in the valley.
in Las Vegas I saw the Blue Man Group show in their music I love it I even got to see you see one of these little man in the backstage got to talk to him I love their music especially the PBC music and I got the idea for the new train called the bad Blue Man Group trains if they like that they're traveling vehicle at the perfect
I wonder if you have left handed drummers in the shows too?
My buddy Seumas is living the life 🔥
yeah, for sure there are left handed drummers in the shows! In fact, if I remember correctly, one of the 3 original Blue Men was a lefty!
Oh wow, I just realized I got pulled onstage 30 years ago this month! NYC, Lafayette Street.
Wasn't Tim Alexander a BMG drummer for a bit?
yeah, Tim Alexander played the Vegas show for a number of years.
Kudo's to you guys. There are some of us in the audience who notice and appreciate the band. First thing that impressed me years ago when I attended was the band, not the goofy act. LOL
best band ever !!!
thats amazing. why they dont put some gopros up there! and show on the screens
Check out this interesting instrument! I'm going to tell you all about it but not let you hear it.
Anyone know what photo-reactive paint the band members use? I perform for a dissonant black metal band and use lots of colors and blacklights, and the photoreactive paint I use is liquid, a pain to use, and smells terrible! This looks like the grease paint I use for the base-coat black and white paints!
I love the music of blue man. Please release an album and tour the UK.
We don't currently have performances in the UK, but you never know where the Blue Men will show up! Visit www.blueman.com for the latest information on show stops and performances.
This is amazing info
So it movie score drumming
Ss someone who's.experiencre with BMG was the no touch organ gadget from like 2007, is the show basically Drums/Space for the non deadhead??
Step one: Blue one's self.
o único problema do show do Blue Man Group é que tem que assistir sentado. não da pra pular no meio da galera, não da pra fazer uma roda punk, só assistir e aplaudir
hey blue man group i hope you respond to this but could you do a video tutorial on how to play your music
At 7:30 that's just a zither and not a pressaphonic? Or is the difference plucked vs. tapped?
What a second, you guys aren't really blue and are actually human? Next I am going to be told Santa Claus is fake. At least he's still real.
I wonder what model that ride cymbal is
No doubt thought they were robots. Once at the end I freaked out cause I really thought they were robots
How do they learn the notes of each song?
it's all through watching other drummers... so all of the music has been handed down from the original cast over 2 decades ago... one drummer to the next.
I can totally relate to what Kevin was feeling when he left M.I.T. It’s totally overrated. University of Phoenix, here I come.
Who tf thinks they're automated? Clearly they have never seen them live
People in worship bands do this every Sunday
Did that dude just say zithers don't exist
I think he meant the zither they use is unique
Please clap.
