All my praise to BoB Heathcote. He totally influenced my bass playing through ST's best album 'How Will I Laugh Tomorrow, When I Can't Even Smile Today.' ❤
He's fucking amazing! Definitely check out his solo stuff if you haven't already. Just saw him at red rocks and it was by far the most musically impressive show I've ever been to
Suicidal Tendencies was always one of those bands that for some reason had killer behs-ists. I remember one of my friends in 6th grade, while everybody else was wanting to play guitar & drums, got into bass solely because he was obsessing over the bass parts in “Go Skate”. Also, fun fact: you can’t look up the band on RUclips without being told you need to talk to a therapist -..-
Its effecting attepted searches for Suicide Silince and The Suicide Machines as well I've noticed. Band's name* mentions self delete button RUclips to fans* y'all need help
I think similar things happen if you want to hear Metallica's 'Screaming Suicide'. I think ST's name may have held them back over the years, don't get me wrong it's a cool name and great for them, but maybe with a slightly more commercial name they could have been as big as Metallica!
@@ronlouthain913 Not as crazy as seeing Mick Jagger do it at near 80, and looking leaner and more energetic than some 20 somethings. 😂 He’s kept the same fitness and eating routine since the late 70’s, after he got sober. Keith is just not killable, so whenever he decides to die, he’ll drop onstage that night. 😆
That’s really cool. I saw them when I was like 12 or 13. Right around 1991ish. Great show. The teenagers and bigger folks were protecting me in the pit, and even put me onstage at one point. I dove back off, because I was scared I’d get the person who got me into the gig in trouble. 🤓 They were playing a small place, that was supposed to be 18 and up, for whatever reason, and a buddy’s aunt, who was 19 or 20, got us in. She took us to a lot of cool shows, as well as the first two Lollapaloozas, and other festivals. Awesome woman.
Suicidal tendencies has also got jazz drumming legend Greyson Nekrutman as well. Not only can he play in buddy rich territory but he can play metal like a badass as well as
@cthulhuhoops7538 Can't stand that drummer. He's got chops, i'll give that to him but his playing is robotic and soulless. I've never heard him hold down a deep pocketed groove or lay sick complex fills. His playing sound like if you would program a drum track on a piano roll with midi, like velocity/nuances of each hit/notes sounds like the same. The only honorable mention i can say is that he can pull pretty complex polyrhythms with ease but that in itself is not really impressive if you don't have any creative ways to use it.
If you're aware and into the scene long enough, you'll find these characters/performers that carry a persona, a shtick, and a trademark unique style. They're pretty established and very much in-tune with a technique and an aesthetic that act as a calling card. Those artists are absolute conessuirs of music. It's not just that they pull inspiration from bands and musicians' past - they haved dipped their toes into ALL genres, here and there. That's what makes them so good at what they do: they're into EVERYTHING.
got to see him perform with Suicidal Tendencies in person years ago. it's been since then that I've been following his career. so happy it's skyrocketed.
I'd say make it as indistinguishable in the mix as possible by double tracking just like guitars, while still retaining the bottom end. But I'm curious what Danny has to say :)
@matejgrim possibly, but they also have a good amount of tracks where the guitars go silent at some point, and it's just the bass and the synth holding the melody. Then there is seemann which would be interesting to cover all by itself.
The Thundercat Trio/Thundercat Quintet are Death Weapons live. I'd actually heard him playing for S/T, but it took me a Mo to realise Stephen Bruner and Thundercat were one and the same. Big Ledge. 🤟🏻
I saw ST at the first Soundwave festival in Sydney in '07. Their stage was near a line of trees, I remember all the kids emerging from nowhere during the sound check "bass sound check!!" In retrospect, that's the first time any of us had heard Thundercat live.
Apparently Thundercat is good friends with the guys at Lamb Of God as well. In the new LOG album documentary, there’s a part where he comes over to the studio to check out what the band is up to
He didnt play for them very long, but yeah, Thundercat played with Suicidal Tendencies. Finding out he played with them is what made me give Thundercat's music a chance.
It’s crazy how many phenomenal musicians have been in ST over the years. Ben from the Dillinger escape plan and jay from slipknot are in the current lineup
Andrew Callaghan you are doing some remarkable work. Keep doing what you do. PROTECT CHANNEL 5 and Andrew Callaghan at all costs. All love and blessing most high to that boy CM 5. It gon C aight
Thundercat came with Domi & JD Beck at the Montreal jazz festival of last year and i missed both shows. Apparently they had put out an amazing performance and i was bummed to not have had the chance to see it. Saw Sungazer twice in the same night so it kinda made up a little bit for it.
Les Claypool was in a thrash metal band before Primus as well. Called Blind Illusion one album with him and ol Ler on it, guitarist for Primus, if you find the waka waka Pac-Man song that’s the best one good luck
Went to a Thundercat show in LA back in October. He brought out Suicidal Tendencies. Best part of the show! It was awesome!
Hey man, what was Suicidal Tendencies songs did he play on that particular moment?
You lucky bastard. 😫
Damn that's sick
you cant bring me down and instituionalized@@KrOwAnsKi
I WAS THERE THAT SHIT WENT SO HARD
Ah, Dave Lombardo! The unsung LEGEND of the bass guitar!
He is one of my favorite drummers
“members”
@@gab2876Thank you cuz that guy lacks hearing comprehension 😅
He plays tenor sax
@@Normalizethisbass kazoo
My uncle Bob Heathcote was their bassist for an album. RIP Bobby
Very sorry for your loss. :(
All my praise to BoB Heathcote. He totally influenced my bass playing through ST's best album 'How Will I Laugh Tomorrow, When I Can't Even Smile Today.' ❤
Thundercat was amazing in ST!!
I mean, he's just that good!
thundercat is a master of all genres
Suicidal Tendencies always has great bass players, from the first album on
ALWAYS!🤟🏽
*behs
best bassgrooves for any punk band
I Just realized this dude also worked on Kendrick Lamar’s album : *”To Pimp A Butterfly.”* Dude is truly motherfuckin’ talented.
He's fucking amazing! Definitely check out his solo stuff if you haven't already. Just saw him at red rocks and it was by far the most musically impressive show I've ever been to
Thundercat along with Flying Lotus also produced George Clinton's last album.
amazing album
yup Thundercat live is insane. Geddy Lee / Les Claypool level of bass player-singer wizardry!
Listen to untitled 05 by Kendrick Lamar super prominent thundercat bassline

I saw Suicidal two weeks ago. They absolutely killed it. I got to go onstage at the end cuz they bring like 100 fans onstage. I got a picture with Tye
Isn't it crazy how Mike Muir still runs around the stage like a madman?
@@ronlouthain913 fuck yes
He's so funny
Ya Cyco Miko is 60 years old too!

The moment you said ST I knew it was our boi Thundercat. He's so chill about everything it's wonderful.
My favorite Bass player for real!!!!
Skills from all genres can teach you so many skills that all blend together in the most interesting ways fr

He recently got featured in drumeo
They're going after Siberiano next.

Thundercat being the connection between ST and HAIM Is pretty funny.
Yea ST has had some great players which is why they are one of my fav live bands seens them 8 times
Holy shit, that was a blast from the past
Thundercat is awesome I loved the NPR with Mac miller super dope
Fuck yeah that was great
It sounds so nice! I also would really like to hear original songs by you since your cover are soo good
He's one of my favorite behs players
Buh ehs he tha beehst behs player?
@CorbCorbin no, Les Claypool is the best
Probably the most accurate thundercat tone recreation I've seen on a 4 string,keep up the good work danny 👏
Played bass for ST, and also for Kendrick Lamar. What a legend.
I love the video of him with suicidal playing a bass solo and throwing in some portrait of Tracy
link please?
Thundercat is actually so fucking nice with it. Any song he plays on is magic
And now they’ve got Greyson Nekrutman on drums! The talent Mike Muir gets through that band is insane.
ST gave many fantastic musicians their chance to be heard
never knew how much i needed to hear danny sapko play possessed to skate but oh my lord

Thundercat and his older brother Ronald made a killer rhythm section for S.T.
Infectious Grooves is on the House!!
Crazy how I love funk and metal and I also love thundercat
got to see him perform with Suicidal Tendencies in person years ago. it's been since then that I've been following his career. so happy it's skyrocketed.
Thundercat opened for the RHCPs in 2022. He’s an amazing musician.
His brother also played drums for them at one point as well
It's crazy how Danny Sapko is so good at the bass that he can play an entire band including the drums on his behs. 🥰🥰
Stepping into Robs shoes isn't easy. Props.
ST:s list of Rhythm section players for a hardcore band is insane
I can see this connection considering Mike Muir also had a funk band infectious grooves with Trujillo on bass.
The guitarist Rocky George is so underrated
When you’re good, you’re good. Style starts to matter less
Dave Lombardo: Legend!
ST has had very talented musicians from all types of musical backgrounds. That's the most "crossover" part of them: Who they're willing to accept.
Day 25 of asking for Oliver Riedel's (Rammstein) bass tone
I'd say make it as indistinguishable in the mix as possible by double tracking just like guitars, while still retaining the bottom end. But I'm curious what Danny has to say :)
@matejgrim possibly, but they also have a good amount of tracks where the guitars go silent at some point, and it's just the bass and the synth holding the melody. Then there is seemann which would be interesting to cover all by itself.
I love Rammstein, but the bass is so quiet. Der Meister is one where it’s pretty loud, though.
Hell yeah. Ollie is very underrated
Wtf that's so cool I didn't know who that bass riff was but I love that song!
Gotta love thrash
If you really LIKE ST, then you definitely knew this lol
It's an awesome bit of trivia!
The Thundercat Trio/Thundercat Quintet are Death Weapons live. I'd actually heard him playing for S/T, but it took me a Mo to realise Stephen Bruner and Thundercat were one and the same. Big Ledge. 🤟🏻
I didn't know Thundercat used to be in Suicidal Tendencies playing the BEHS!!!
You could also do a video about how victor wooten participated in a instrumental prog metal project, Octavarius. It was awesome!
Octavision
Thundercat is one of the coolest dudes ever, I didn't think he could get even cooler
He’s definitely one of a kind
Thundercat was in Suicidal Tendies? I think my brain just imploded.
I didn't know he played in ST, but that's bassed as fuck.
That's dope! Learn something new everyday 4sho
I’d really like to see them live now with Greyson on drums. He’s a monster player
Thundercat literally made his name in ST, the guy he replaced was a more unlikely thrash bassist, being the guy from Daughtry.
Never thought he'd talk about Suicidal Tendencies
I saw ST at the first Soundwave festival in Sydney in '07. Their stage was near a line of trees, I remember all the kids emerging from nowhere during the sound check "bass sound check!!" In retrospect, that's the first time any of us had heard Thundercat live.
Thundercat is a cross genre genius
Thundercat is an immense talent!
Suicidal is a band you can stick anywhere regardless of genre and their fans would show up just to see them
Top band , always underrated in my book
The fact he left out the slap intro to Go Skate! Is wild
I've been a fan of Suicidal Tendencies since their first album in 1983! Infectious Grooves kicks ass too!
Mike doesn't skimp when it comes to finding talent for his band
I like the way you say “behs player”
WHAAAAAAAT? I would of never guessed thundercat was in S.T.
Apparently Thundercat is good friends with the guys at Lamb Of God as well. In the new LOG album documentary, there’s a part where he comes over to the studio to check out what the band is up to
I heard Brad Paisley used to play metal too. Never looked into it but I could see it.
Loveeeee Them Changes 😩👌
Cats so talented. True master of the bass
They also had a black guitarist who was sizzlingly good: Rocky George
Saw him play for them wayyyyy back. Didn't even know who he was.
Saw him in SF he had guest drummer and they did like a 45 minute acid jazz jam it was bonkers
I had the chance to see S.T. with Rawbiz and Eric Moore...it was a hell of a gig at a small venue!
Bro didn’t know thunder cat was on suicidal tendencies at one point hell yea
Wow, what a massive difference and I’ve seen him live!! 😀👍
He didnt play for them very long, but yeah, Thundercat played with Suicidal Tendencies. Finding out he played with them is what made me give Thundercat's music a chance.
Seen Thundercat when he supported Red Hot Chili Peppers last year. He was great live.
It’s crazy how many phenomenal musicians have been in ST over the years. Ben from the Dillinger escape plan and jay from slipknot are in the current lineup
Day one of asking for John Wetton's Tone from Asia and King Crimson!!!

Praise jesus
Wtf
@angelirizarry2666 only the chosen people are able to understand
Love me some ST 🤘
Loving these short vids!
Woah no way! Would have never guessed thunder at was in a thrash metal band
Please do Kim deals bass tone!
Pls
And now they got Grayson as the drummer. Legendary band
That 6 string semihollow he was playing looks so neat
Its his signature model by Ibanez
Thundercat came with Domi & JD Beck at the Montreal jazz festival of last year and i missed both shows.
Apparently they had put out an amazing performance and i was bummed to not have had the chance to see it.
Saw Sungazer twice in the same night so it kinda made up a little bit for it.
And now they have a jazz drummer
That's not surprising at all, Thundercat is phenomenal
We need a dusty hill tone how to. They've released the equipment he used but we need to know how to get there with what we got. Love the content!
Thunder cat went from punk and thrash to Funk and Disco 🤯
Les Claypool was in a thrash metal band before Primus as well. Called Blind Illusion one album with him and ol Ler on it, guitarist for Primus, if you find the waka waka Pac-Man song that’s the best one good luck
Suicidal Tendencies are amazing
I rock the thunder cat shirt
Fucking with me subliminally!!!
Thundercat is an amazing artist
Tim Rabinowitz never will be forgotten. He's gone.
I saw suicide tendencies in 2010 swu with Thundercat on Bass 💥
Thundercat is so cool dude
