THEEEEOOOOOO
There's not much funky music in here, so special TY to all of you funk bro's for all the groove online. I was lucky enough to be in Dublin on 2nd show this year, but hope to have chance to enjoy it in Croatia or Slovenia (there's nice venue in Ljubljana called Kino Siska, Cory Henry was there). Cheers from Croatia. :)
RUUUUDDDYYYY
Tomislav Šekerija reci kako ga ubijaju braca, al realno mogli bi u sava centar u beograd da dodju, nista licno! :)
ofc, Belgrade have some nice places laso
YU SEE
Scary Pockets you guys killed it as usual, but the featured vocalist really stole the track on this one. Great work Theo.
+WaitingAtAStoplight we will not disagree!
The worn out t-shirt really made its mark.
Theo Katzman is in a lot of good Vulfpeck songs
@@chloe-sunshine7 bruh he literally is in vulfpeck
@@jwaj r/woooosh
0:16 theo sung the word "imagine" and pointed to john lennon's poster. just the little things... i noticed after watching the video several times. so good and funky.
+Lucas Schäffer yaaaa! I think you’re the first to get that
#cool keep the awesome covers coming. i'm kinda addicted. :)
a great team work, every musician playing the right thing at the right time.
greetings from brazil. #funk
nice bass solo, by the way. i loved how nick was happy after finishing it. hahaha i felt it, man. hehe
What a good spot! They should do more Easter Eggs, they might as well as I watch them so many times anyhow!
He's so smooth about it, no wonder barely anyone noticed it.
I love how he pulled back at 2:00 mark. He was gonna say something and then refrained from stepping on that bass players feet as he introduced his own solo.
Pretty groovy to see attentive players in bands. It's about the collective sound.
All these musicians are slaying it in their own regards. Awesome stuff as always sir.
That's a great observation.
Lol or maybe he just forgot he wasn't supposed to sing 😂
he just forgot to not sing
dummy
Jesuschrist... I thought it was just dancing... great eye, man
Nominee for best UA-cam comment
Here are some of the qualities that make this bass player so freakin’ good. He’s very aware of the song and of the rest of the band, and plays with finesse. His superb technical skill makes every part seem effortless. His tone is terrific, both on this bass and on the Fender Musicmaster with the custom pickups. Every note is clean and full, from the lowest to the highest. And every note is as sustained or as staccato as its place in the tune requires. He never showboats, but he’s always playing beautifully. And the fact that he is obviously enjoying it so much is a big plus.
Word.
I know this comments 3 years old but still, I fully agree. I've seen several videos with this bassist playing alongside them and each time he stands out in a great way.
Never will I ever get tired of this version and scary pockets is by FAR my favorite band.
HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS THAT BASS SOLO? NICK CAMPBELL YOU ARE ON FIRE, MAN
Oh MAN, how wonderful! If y'all don't know Theo already, he's part of the fantastic funk band Vulfpeck and has brilliant solo work as well.
I'm loving Nick Campbell on that bass too.
NICK CAMPBELL SO MODAL
It's the colab I've been waiting for Vulfpockets
If first 15 seconds don't catch your heart and soul, please don't come back never to this channel. This is freakin AWESOME
The first 40 seconds are GOLD.
I am so hyped right now. I can't believe this. I clicked on the video without reading the title and BAM, there's Theo.
Good Lord, I'm blown away by Theo's vocals. Had no idea.
his album "heatbreak hits" is pre-tty-a-maz-ing
its on youtube
I can't make up my mind if he sounds like Stevie Wonder, Prince, or Michael Jackson (or all the above). His vocals seem to jump from one to the other with every line of lyrics. What a pleasant find.
God I love Nick. I need to breathe the same air he breathes just so I can taste the metal particles that fly off his strings after he plays a heart-melting solo like that. Life is unfair.
Came across this 2 years later.....and I'll be playin it 2 years into future and so on and so on! Amazing!
Always when you think the scary pockets can’t get any better they do!
I love you guys the way you are!
I've watched this a million times and just came back to it tonight while jammin' to scary pockets... Damn Nick is killin' it on bass and Theo is just nailing the vocals. Ryan and Jack playing exactly what's needed... All around pros man!
Im pretty confident ive listened to this more than anyone else on the planet.
Just genius.
Ryan Lerman is absolutely KILLING IT!
Beyond these beautiful funk covers Scary pocket do, there's one thing that I notice: the smiling faces and the bond between the musicians... I'am definitely a fan of yours. Sheers from France!!!
Theo is masterful. Great arrangement and musicianship. That bass solo rocks me every time I see this performance. Cheers.
Books and covers spring to mind. I would never imagine that voice coming out of that body. And thats my bad..
Astonishingly good.
In every video and in every collab, everyone brings thier unique flavor to make the performance sweet.
In this one the vocals stole the show.
Not to mention the arrangement was total killer.
Yes yes yes the perfect collaboration!! Such a big fan of Theo and Vulfpeck
You are perfect example of how difficult is to make it easy and simple. Young musicians only play to show how good they are...and what they really show is that they are not true musicians. Congrats. You are true musicians. Thank you
Probably the only Singer on earth who applies everything he learnt on singing in a song. Top notch singer.
My favorite scary pockets cover. They are all great every time. But THEEOOO crushes. Big time.
Nick reminds me of a bass player I did a gig with when I was still a kid, way back in the last millenium. Snaky head, DEEP pocket and tone for days.
This arrangement is FABULOUS! I love it just the way it is.........
Addicted to this channel.
Surprisingly great interpretation, loved so much about it. Quirky vocal, magically sparse notes, unexpected bass solo with a sweet crash/ride behind it. A lot to like here. Brilliantly devised guys. We can see how much you enjoy playing this one.
Nick Campbell, your playing is amazing, and let's not forget the gorgeous sounds from Ryan, as well as generally everything else in this next top-notch groove from Scary Pockets.
It's the colab I've been waiting for Vulfpockets
vulfpockets! Joint tour would be ridiculous. (don't even know if Scary Pockets tours, but you know)
Theo is amazing... I can't believe how many geniuses singers work with Scary Pockets. Amazing band.
Love Theo Katzman! Just great stuff here!
I didn't know what true love was until I listened to this. I think I want to spend the rest of my days with this version of that song
I'm loving Nick Campbell on that bass too.
Gay
My god, this brought me to tears...such talent in this band..bless you all, love from England
I love how unique your version of this song is! Amazing! Great musicians and the falsettos are excellent!
I'm young enough that this is the first version of this song I've heard lol,,
now I love billy joel, thanks guys!
I read somewhere that Billy Joel's drummer wanted to play this song upbeat, kind of like this cover. Even they told him it was going to be a ballad, he threw his sticks across the room and yelled "I AM NOT A DAMN LOUNGE DRUMMER".
Funny enough, the song was still a huge hit, even Barry White covered it!
That's one sick bass solo. Good job as always guys!
Nick Campbell just got a new fan.
wow these vocals!
DAMN that bassist. You can tell the drummer is listening to him - he smiles at every bass fill :)
Oh man! It's Theo - the famous! I love it!
beautifull arrangment . i love the basslines.
WOW ! That was off the chain !!! And I love that dude’s voice. You did it again scary pockets. You guys are awesome.
YES! THEO! FINALLY!
Scary P's and Vulfpeck together, how cool is that!!!!!!!!
Pure talent! It's been a while since I haven't heard such a great sound.
YES! Theo Katzmann! I was hoping for him to join you guys! Absolutely loved it!
Ele tem uma voz incrível e muito balanço também.
And just like that, a fan was born.... that was well done
Dude Nick Campbell is a beast!
that "pf-pf" with the finger in the very end made smile.
Shrek is love meets scary pockets meets vulfpeck.... Wayyy too cool!
Killing bass solo
Come for Theo and Pockets, stay for the bass!
simply Lovely, lovely !
Oh man love this vocalist! I miss Wilkes though 😭
Edit: nvm this bassist is dope
Edit 2: holy shit this is good
The first words Theo sang, shook me 😳... Another magical FUNK cover I've heard from Scary Pockets... ✨
THEO. Fantastic collaboration of funk. Thank you.
love this!!!
Theo é top demais, que som 👏👏
My baby says: top five mummy!!!.. OMG... THANKS for making me smile. Keep going!
Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times; I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

Algoruthm comment
omg You guys are amazing.
was anyone else's mind blown when Theo said "imagine" at 0:16 and pointed at the John Lennon poster? no? just me??
Gosh damn Theo Katzman really is becoming one of my all time favorite vocalists. Awesome cover as always Scary Pockets! Thanks for the music, much love to you guys.
oh snap its the katzman
Bass player so stoked on himself, slayin it.
Quentin Tarantino looks frightening on the bass
lol !
John Doe Hahaha!
But he's totally killin it! Props
OFCOURSE TARANTINO!!! Thanks my brain was about to explode.
He looks like the Mini-Me version. Scareintino..... frightening.
I really appreciate that the Guitar and Base are panned to the opposite side of the soundscape as the musicians are positioned in the video. It's a subtle effect, but it sounds really cool!
0:16 theo: "don't imagine" *points to lennon in the back* 😂
🤗😍 instant smiles! My heart is happy! Love y’all
He could sing some Michael Jackson stuff
@@shanefiddle wtf
Yeah, and some Jackson 5 stuff would be fantastic
0:47
@@shanefiddle Pile up on R Kelly, we know he did that shit. Hell, Bill Cosby told on himself and that is why he is in jail. However, Michael was never found guilty no matter how much the media and police wanted him to be.
Vulfpeck's "Animal Spirits" (with Theo on the vocals) is pretty much like a Jackson 5 song
Holy mother of god. Such sweetness to my ears
So, is there a Peck and Pockets musician exchange program that we're not aware of?
jrockn77 yeah it’s called living in la
Fun Fact: It'll soon be "Christmas in L.A." ua-cam.com/video/d5K3UgrPdbQ/v-deo.html
So beautiful!!!!Awww my heart is full!!!!I love love love it!!!!Props to the band and the singer and whole team...Thank you for giving me a silken funky groovy special piece. Just takes me to a happy place💞💞💞💞
NICK CAMPBELL SO MODAL
The absolute best scary Pockets video
You should sing some Mickeal jackson stuff man
ua-cam.com/video/gBOsZdVn8yg/v-deo.html
How bout some Al Jarreau?
Aye
Nick Campbell that bass greatness came outta nowhere and it was oh so gooood
When will we see a bass battle between SAM WILKES and JOE DART?
freakin soon i hope
Nikolaus Winkelhausen this is Nick Campbell not Sam
Yeah they just didn't mention Nick cause, ahem, NICK CAMPBELL DESTROYS
@@grawham yeah, Nick is easily my favorite of the roster of incredible bass players in these videos :)
Peculiar and nice voice!
Awesome! As usual! Who is your inspiration in terms of old school funk bands?
Thanks! Meters, James Brown, Jackson 5, Bill Withers, Vulfpeck... so many! :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! WOOP-WOOP!!
THIS is a collab made in heaven... I have been waiting for this for sooo long!!
Also Scary Pockets do you use the vulf compressor?
+Joshua Pikal Music we did on this track!
Scary Pockets Well done to you all! Seriously I’m such a huge fan of everything you’ve posted, and that vulf compressor works wonders! Keep ‘em coming!
Great stuff..
VULF COMPRESSOP is THE SHIT!!!!!!
Joshua Pikal Music what is it for?
AMAZING, REALLY AMAZING! WE WANT YOU, SCARY POCKETS !
