I'm on The Ellen Show today, doing a cameo with The Bird & The Bee. Hall & Oates in full effect.

Return of the afro beginning as well. Poof!

Dude, you gotta give a day's warning. For some reason my company frowns on me sleeping/watching tv during work hours. But I could have recorded it.

What's weird is that when I got my senior pictures taken with my bass, all the pictures that I gave to the photographer for ideas were from the Bass Player article on JMJ with NIN... That's one classy dude. I totally forgot about that until I saw who the OP was haha

It's on the Ellen website, chillz!



That box on my amp is a Neve 1272 DI that was made by Ellen's sound guy out of parts from a console he was refurbishing. He built it into a cigar box. Sounds sick, as you can hear.

Easy, ready, willing, overtime!

JMJ - You're the man. I had to adjust my eyeballs a bit, after viewing a lot of recent NIN footage, but that looks like a fun gig, for sure.

Killin tone!

I love the bird and the bee. Good they finally got themselves a proper band tho. It's just wrong to do shows without a bass player .

btw. Nice moves

Justin is a f-ing chameleon! Totally nailed it, musically and visually.

Only thing that could have made that performance better would've been some big nasty fuzz dist in the chorus.

Hehe, sweet! Great job as always, Justin. I'm not really an H&O fan, but I didn't realize back then what a nice groove that song has. I wasn't hip to T-Bone until he started playing with Elvis C. a few years later.
