Please Come Home for Christmas - Brent Byrne
Far From Christmas (album) - Brent Byrne
I recorded this album as a Christmas present to my family in 2000. In one day! No rehearsal!! We recorded instruments and vocals live in studio in the morning, then soloists came in the afternoon, and at night the keyboardist added strings and such. All without getting paid!! Obviously they were way too kind to me.
It was recorded and later mixed and mastered for CD by Kevin Mitani.
I have remastered it for RUclips.
The musicians are:
Kevin Mitani: drums and percussion
Chizuko Oda: piano, keyboards
Hiroko Shibata: flute
Johnny Nishizaki: tenor sax
Brent Byrne: bass, vocals
Many many thanks to these kind people!

Iron Maiden in Osaka: Concert & Japan Inspired Art
Просмотров 2392 месяца назад
Music cool Japan stuff! Perfect topic for my channel!! I'm a lifelong Maiden fan! I used to come home from school and spend hours learning Steve Harris bass lines. At one time I could play through all the Maiden albums on bass! The Osaka concert was amazing and there was so much Japan inspired art that I thought I'd make a little video about it. Enjoy!

What an amazing display of pyrotechnics.
whos from the community notes
Sorry, not even close to the largest firework in the world. That record belongs to the one shot off in Steamboat Springs, CO, USA in 2020. Almost twice as big.
Hey! Thanks for that info! That's impressive. I can't find any information about the diameter of the resulting flower. Do you know? I checked it out on RUclips. It looked half explosion, half firework.
@brentinjapan no idea on the size of the flower. But keep in mind the videos you see of it are filmed from 2-3 km away. It was gigantic.
@@martrg1 By the looks of the mountain, yeah - looks huge!
@@brentinjapan look up Howelson Hill in Steamboat Springs, CO, USA. It was shot from the back side of that.
@@martrg1 I've amended the title and description of this video! Thank you!
Lol people are spreading misinformation that this is the Nagasaki NYE display x.com/pookiesparadise/status/1874230127321899460?s=46&t=h8jbZ9xAbVYXq5B_sNze1g www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1hr1akw/biggest_fire_work_recorded_in_nagasaki_japan/
It's funny the people you come across when searching a subject on YT. Nice work Brent.
Great vocal.
Thanks James! Wish I could have taken another take or two on the pitchy parts, but the beauty of limiting it to one day was a great exercise AND it captured how my rock voice was at that time. I later joined a rock band and gained more control back in my loud voice.
@@brentinjapanwhatever you’re doing, it’s working.
Great comparison, thanks for the nice job! Should have watched this before buying those D‘Addarios. The LaBellas are definitely my favourites here!
Thanks for watching! I know what you mean! The LaBellas are SO good!! Like I said in the video, I chose D’Addario for THAT bass, but even the LaBella sounded great to me.
sent to sibs in Fla!
Thank you!! I love when people share my stuff. That’s why I make it!
now if i had some snow and someone with a higher voice next to me
Haha!
very nice...................
It was the best Christmas gift ever, Brent! Thank you to all the kind musicians that made it possible! It was very hard not having Brent with us at Christmas so this CD made us very happy! ❤❤❤
Love you!!!
Outstanding!🙌
Thank you!!
Great vibe!
I’m glad you dig it!
I posted this on my Facebook page and my Japanese friends were surprised at how expensive it is. Usually tai yaki is half that price. Keep in mind, this is Namba. Rent is super expensive. You'll find it cheaper ourside of busy areas.
I love how in boruto they actually have tai yaki
They do? That’s funny!! I’ve been there but didn’t notice it. I think I was focused on Awaji burgers!!
Dying for your cause
With all the Christmas gigs coming up, I need something like this
And that's exactly the way to justify buying it! It's going to pay for itself! LOL Feel no fret at Christmas!
If you want it to sound more like an upright. Put a sponge or get a nordi mute. Will sound a lot more like an upright
Yeah! This is a great tip everyone. Thanks for sharing!
Seriously considering getting this bass. It sounds AMAZING. Always wanted a Fretless. Could go the classic way with a Japanese Fender Jazz Bass or this one. I know, they're not the same. But this one is winning so far.
It’s really amazing. If you like Ibanez necks like I do because they’re thin and smooth then it’s a no brainer. And remember, the sound samples in this video were done with zero effects!
@@brentinjapan Keeping you posted. Just got it. I'm amazed. Best acquisition ever.
@@sonidoremasteggyzado9044 Awesome!! Thanks so much for checking in! What's the first thing you played on it?
@ king crimson’s one time! It’s such a smooth line by tony levin!
@@sonidoremasteggyzado9044 Jeezum Crow!! Cool AF deep cut!! I just played some walking bass lines. You rock, man!
long awaited podcast o hear Dr. Deepu!
Yeah, I had to get Deepu on the podcast!
Audio was fine. You made me sound good!!!
THANK YOU........
Great video! Thanks for sharing the information!!
So glad you liked it!!
Great video. Exactly what I needed, if a little long-winded on a platform full of 20 minute videos. ;) thanks
Haha!! Guilty as charged! Glad you got something out of it!
Brent I like that comment then stop watching
Actually I wanted to overdub that with “like and subscribe” because it would be funny!
and as you know it's not like me to shut up so I had to learn the language quick
Ha! Yeah, you and me both!
I've also been here 34 years and when I got here just like Lawrence not many people spoke English
sure I'm glad I'm not lame
Haha!
Holy crap, this really sold me on this bass
Looks like they are living in the future. Diversity is not our strength!
Me shoving them in my mouth like a squirrel with nuts on my way to checkout
🤣
Japan is such a lovely country.
It is!! Have you been?
I was there
Cool! You think Steve Harris played better than me? 😝 Great concert, right!?
Most local butchers have buckets full for free.
Good info!
Hate how most stores don't have tallow, and if they do it costs an arm and a leg
Right!!? Crazy expensive for a part of the animal they’d normally throw away. Part of the crooked food industry.
Cool! I'll have to look more closely in my supermarket!
In Japanese it’s gyūshi in case you have to ask.
Cool! Thanks Brent! Great to see you again!
Thanks! I've been enjoying your posts, too!
Hi i got Fender acoustic, what i need less expensive just to get this sound. ruclips.net/video/cHQ14_DhExM/видео.html&ab_channel=VictorLevchenko thanks
私も猿なので毎日木から落ちています❤
This is hands down the best review of pretty much any musical product I’ve ever seen online. And really useful. I’m studying jazz and play a Fender P bass with LaBella Low Tension Flats - wonderful combo. But I recently bought a Fender CB-60 acoustic to play (amplified) folk/rockabilly/country with friends at monthly open mic. It seems like a pretty solid bass (fretted) but I didn’t care for the stock strings. My search landed me here. Your review has convinced me to try the D’s. I liked their low end, and how they seemed to stand out behind a strummed acoustic guitar. A tad less noisy. And I was struck by the chordal demo - to me, every note in the chords came through more on those distinctly than on the LaBellas. Will report back. Thank you.
Wow! This is hands down the best feedback I've gotten!! Thanks so much! Yeah, they definitely cut through a guitar better. Glad I could help you make a choice. Do keep me posted. I'm hoping for a bit of a community feeling here.
Will do, Brent. Question re string tension. I read where some players have restrung an acoustic and eventually run into a bridge lift issue. My bass shipped with 45-100 bronze roundwounds. The tension on the XLs, 50-105, seems slight, but is that enough of an increase for concern?
@@virwill I never knew about hat bridge problem so I looked it up. It seems like it happens with basses that are not built well enough to withstand the immense pressure of steel strings, or that have a poor bridge and saddle design that pulls up on the bridge. With a Fender or other reputable maker, you won’t have this problem. Plus, the tension of tape wound strings is MUCH less than that of steel strings. A steel 40-100 set will have much more tension than a nylon 50-105 set. This actually causes a different concern. The lack of tension means that nothing is pulling back on the neck, so the truss rod might have to be loosened. Over the years this may result in the truss rod being completely loosened and if it needs further adjustment the neck will have to be reset. I had a Washburn AB20 (review here: ruclips.net/video/9RRgTfCsXaY/видео.htmlsi=g8ySIXTaml7eGBsm) and a similar thing happened: the truss rod was completely loose, but the neck settled there and never needed more adjustment. However, the loose truss rod rattled inside the neck. You can hear it in this recording I did: ruclips.net/video/CrHslUGFcMk/видео.htmlsi=_AAdQd8c1WPMFWyl
Any digestive problems it will work. I ate meat and vegetables for 8 months but it wasn’t until I dropped the vegetables did I see full recovery from many things I didn’t even think about. I just wanted the stomach pains and indigestion to clear
As requested I subscribed
Thank you!!
Meat is about 24 gms of protein / 100 and the 80/20 is 20% fat. So Dave eats about 200-220 grams of protein and 180-190 grams of fat.

I don’t have spices especially as most of them come from the nightshade family which have way too many toxins. Which in fact is the reason they are spicy because you shouldn’t eat them. It’s a warning signal
There’s also the possibility of the oils being oxidized
Where’s Brent based?
Kobe, home of Kobe beef!
this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen! the intro was amazing and demented! the outro too. well the whole thing was great.
OK, so this comment is the BEST one I've ever gotten!!! Thanks so much!! There is actually one more harmony that goes with that, as arranged by Liza Martinelli, a Canadian jazzer. Imagine if I did 3 basses? LOL
that's so cool.
still freakin awsome!
On electric basses, both are excellent with EMG active pickups wich are grounded internally: no buzz/humm.... 😉
Great info! I had no idea. Useful to someone so thanks for posting!
Very nice and informative video, I think the XL's sound better in this particular comparison as the LB's accentuate the boominess more in the low midrange and also seem quite dead in the uppermost high notes whereas the XL's still sing nicely all the way. Am in the process of choosing strings for a fretted Crafter BA400EQ and don't want the phosphor-bronze stuff, also have some bad experience with LaBellas nylonwounds on a former Cort electro-acoustic bass where those sloppy strings rattled and made fretnoices like hell! Some swear over Rotosound 88's or DR Sunbeam 40-100 for acoustic bass purposes although intended for electric bass?! Greetings from Sweden 🙂
Hey! Thanks for watching! I agree that the LB's are boomy on the lower strings as you go up the neck. I don't find them floppy, but I've been playing them forever so maybe my playing has adjusted? Or maybe my action is higher? I love the tension on the XL's and I did prefer them for this bass in the video so maybe give them a try. I've also seen many Rotosound and DR recommendations. If someone gave me a free set I'd try them but from what I've heard on RUclips, these two strings sound better - to me. Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
@@brentinjapan Good morning (at least here in Scandinavia-Sweden) I ordered the XL's + EKO ABB4096M for the acoustic and to compare + some other D'addarios for my Aria Pro II electric bass, will get back with a comment on how it works thanks 🙂
@@MrArtrock Do keep in touch. I always hope for these videos to be the start of interaction with people everywhere.
