Mono Neon..Brilliant eccentric youtube genius?

[bholder]

Right on Bro'! I think the Dude's Amazing! I'm floored everytime I watch one of his videos, the kid is great, but you know, no matter who you are, there are ALWAYS gonna be "Haters" Hell, even Michael Jackson had haters, and he was the Greatest

Huh, I thought that was Ali.

Huh, I thought that was Ali.

Yeah well, He had his share of "haters" too HA!! ... If you're Great, people are gonna hate; I have 0 haters . Mononeon Rules!

 

[madjazzbass]

Yeah, I LOVE his tone; I read that he uses EBS gear/amps.

Yeah he uses EBS gear,I hooked him up with them when he was 17...I gave him one of my rigs for his 18th birthday.He loves the gear but can get his sound on anything!

[JimmyM]

LOVE MonoNeon! This dude is a badass!

 

[farace]

Wow, this is new to me. I'll have to look further into his stuff. Thanks.

I found him via his "Flashlight" vid. I dig the green spacesuit, but was really impressed with his smooth technique. I feel for the guy, having come upon a dream and breakthrough gig with Prince, only to lose him, a personal hero - its been a brutal year in that way.
I find players like him inspiring.

I don't know what in particular makes me think this, but my mind wanders and wonders what it might have been like to stick him in a room with Miles and Eno. Oh, hell, why not some Sun Ra while we're dreaming.

I know what you mean, though I was thinking Joe Satriani and Zappa, or maybe Fripp.

Somebody needs to slowwwww those mononeon vids down so the rest of us can cop some licks!!!

 

[wraub]

I'll just leave this here... Mono Neon meets (some of) Snarky Puppy.
The bass is supportive. The drumming is ridiculous.

Sorry, fast or slow, I doubt most of us will every be able to cop his licks! Dude is special!

He's a competent cat and he's getting buttloads of downloads-- I may not follow everything he does, but the cat's got flair, and we need all kinds of crazies--

 

[el_Bajo_Verde]

How does he do this? I can't wrap my head around it, maybe in a few years

 

[Real Soon]

He is just unreal. When I first saw a clip of him going in on a newly commissioned microtonal bass, I had one of those "maybe I should just hang it up" moments. I got past it but can't get over the sounds this cat can put out.

I think we are all capable of achieving that level of skill he displays, but I also think it just comes easier to some people than others. We all have something that we are capable of learning very quickly. I learned and became fluent in Spanish in 3 months for my wife.

I saw him walking with his bass in a bag on his back. Didn't hear him play anywhere though, sorry.
