Ben is the reason i got inspired to drum 5 years ago. His drumming is simple enough to enjoy it whilst learning and yet he loves to add stuff in to make sure you as a drummer are awake. And yeah, he has no issues with covers as we can hear!
This is amazing. They added a bit of filth to it which is always a winner in my book. It sounds like it could have been one of their own songs which is testament to how good this cover is.
+YoutanPoluo IF I understand he runs it through an up tuner on one channel into a guitar amp and a clean bass through another with a multi switch into a bass amp. So he gets both at the same time and can switch between the two if he wishes. It is truly a unique style.
You can take a guitar amp with a good bottom end for a dirty sound and a good bass amp for cleans and a switch/blend between the two. Take that and combine it with some fuzz and overdrive pedals for this distorted sound. Throw in an octaver, synth or envelope filter (or wah if you want more controll) for some extra fills and put it under controll with an EQ pedal and you are ready to go.
My thoughts exactly. They managed to put their own spin on the song while still keeping it recognizable and doing that with only bass and drums takes balls. Oh. Did you also just sing the "Roxaaaaaane!" part yourself, to salvage the situation?
dude the drums in this song are good but loads of their songs have massively better, more ornamented drumming. I don't know where you got that idea from.
Duality dude yes!! I’m so tired of hearing QOTSA they sound nothing like QOTSA only the debut album QOTSA, even that I don’t get a direct QOTSA feel from royal blood, at all lol. I listen to QOTSA pretty much all day lol, royal blood as well and don’t get QOTSA vibe from them at all. Only the early stuff and that’s the riffs
I'm so excited because I think Royal Blood is the band I've been waiting for to revive the sound of rock again. Every single song they play sounds fucking great
This is the true cover to do, A lot of bands just play like the original band and this is so boring, in this video we can see te AMAZING COVER. Thanks for record this for us.....Good luck always
Can you imagine if Royal Blood did a bond theme
Holy shit! Ur blowing my mind man!
+chase ruel thank you!
+ben_king25 Blood hands is their most bond song ever.
+ben_king25 Nice Idea XD
Fuck yes. I'd love that.
Ben trying to stay serious after dropping that stick...
+David Paradox "so what? i'm still tougher than y'all bitches" face XD
I love the way mike just glares at it while continuing his introduction lol
@Hank Nemetz lmfao
Lol
Ben is so underrated as a drummer. the rhythm and timing of Roxanne ain't no joke. thats some jazz shit
He did adapt it really well too!
No he is regarded highly as a drummer you idiot!
@@btsdancestudio5691 bro chill
Ben is the reason i got inspired to drum 5 years ago. His drumming is simple enough to enjoy it whilst learning and yet he loves to add stuff in to make sure you as a drummer are awake.
And yeah, he has no issues with covers as we can hear!
Heck yeah
This sounds so dirty. It could be on in the background of a bar fight. I like it.
they should do a movie soundtrack
Such a great tune isn't it!!!
Thats a great idea....slow motion bar fight
@@JacobSherbourneSkate They had a song in Hellboy, Wayne too i believe.
Right!? I like the way you think!
Isn't it illegal to impersonate the police?
Hahahahaha so true that!!!
oh my GODDD
Lmao
Sting was doing a David Hinds Impersonation when he was in the police
I wish it was illegal to be shit
He has the greatest tone in fucking history
True dat. He definitely made a whole new perspective to play and made his Bass sound like a fucking amazing boss. In the way of tone that's for sure.
Most copied rig and tone since Hendrix.
Check Cory Taylor from Stone sour Ronnie James dio Bruce dickinson
This is amazing. They added a bit of filth to it which is always a winner in my book.
It sounds like it could have been one of their own songs which is testament to how good this cover is.
Wrong
*****
no you
+Danny Arter It's just my opinion so you don't have to agree with it, just like i don't agree with yours.
***** why are you trolling everyone's comments boy
I like it too, but I agree, it needs something else.
Ben Thatcher is a damn good drummer
redsoxfan6794 ISSUES
He's up ther with Matt Helders as the most solid drummers in rock.
@@LowerLoveday EXACTLY :D
@@LowerLoveday In rock perhaps. Heavy Metal is a whole different level though.
@@LowerLoveday what? Kid, have you ever heard of Keith Moon, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Danny Carey, Stewart Copeland, etc?
That tone on that bass!!!!! OMFG

Royal blood never fail to impress me

***** its just my opinion
***** Wrong.
Tom McLaughlin C
Can you spell any other words?
And imagine dragons being nominated for best rock instead of them
😢
imagine dragons is ass
Let me just say this, Imagine Dragons is my 9 year old little girls favorite band so....what does that tell you?
Fuck that shitty band
This is the real deal
I honestly think imagine dragons is better.... And I fucking hate imagine dragons
Royal Blood, Cleopatrick, and Highly Suspect all sound so massive. I wouldn't be surprised if Blood wins some awards this year for Typhoons.
Yes great reminder on cleopatrick been trying to remember what they were called for ages
Nice taste man
This is great! Don't know why everyone is hating. But only thing missing is "Roxaaaaaaane!" in the background
My thoughts exactly. They managed to put their own spin on the song while still keeping it recognizable and doing that with only bass and drums takes balls.
Oh. Did you also just sing the "Roxaaaaaane!" part yourself, to salvage the situation?
Adrian Reyes If the drummer could sing, that would've sounded even better.
+Adrian Reyes sing your own damn "roxannes"
+Adrian Reyes +1
Trueeee
royal blood and highly suspect need to go on tour together
Kyle Adkins fuck yes
yes!
already seen highly suspect. would love two see the both of them
That would be soooo good!!
OMG I been wanting that forever
Why is everyone talking shit about this cover? This is the best drumming Ben has ever showcased!
Not the best by far but his quality standard.
William Neale I can't think of any songs that Ben has more complicated drumming on
+Troy O'Brien drumming is phenomenal, although I'm not loving this as a cover, I'm loving the drumming
dude the drums in this song are good but loads of their songs have massively better, more ornamented drumming. I don't know where you got that idea from.
he is covering the great stewart copeland after all
these guys, reviving my faith in rock. love them.
Wrong
***** it's an opinion. It cannot necessarily be 'right' or 'wrong'.
***** wrong
Nice! I'm getting some real QOTSA vibes from this :D
Can see exactly what you mean its good!
Carl Bishop good call on that
yeah for sure. even getting some cowbell in there!
Ghost 3 Delta yes they were, I went to a QOTSA concert with Royal Blood opening around September last year and it was absolutely fantastic!
Duality dude yes!! I’m so tired of hearing QOTSA they sound nothing like QOTSA only the debut album QOTSA, even that I don’t get a direct QOTSA feel from royal blood, at all lol. I listen to QOTSA pretty much all day lol, royal blood as well and don’t get QOTSA vibe from them at all. Only the early stuff and that’s the riffs
I have watched more than 10 Live Lounge's in a row and I cant stop halp
Love them and Roxanna too
Royal Blood is the coolest.
I love royal blood so much I don't think anything they do will fail to impress me.
0:08 - Ben's face when he drops his stick
I'm 63 and these lads are the best creative force I've heard in fu.. knows
I never wanted to be a groupie until I heard these two. Phenomenal duo and, they produce hella power on their own!
I'm so excited because I think Royal Blood is the band I've been waiting for to revive the sound of rock again. Every single song they play sounds fucking great
what about ghost?
+Jigglypuff God it's not the same, at least for me
Ghost is way too light for me musically. Which is a shame because thematically, they're as dark as I like. It's just when the music starts...
Sorry to say that the sound of rock did not begin with duo bands..
This is my kind of drum and bass 👌
I just want these guys to cover a Blue Oyster Cult song. That is all I ask for
yasss.
Yeah! Celestial the queen, Black blade, ETI, Burning for you...
Man, imagine a cover Of Godzilla
That would be awesome!
Dont Fear the reaper please
@@lalo4642 Fu Manchu did a pretty cool cover of Godzilla (imo). Check them out, although they aren't the same genre as Royal Blood
Saw these guys a fortnight ago in Melbourne and they absolutely killed it. Best $3.5555555556 per minute on music I've spent on a long long time.
the chorus is gold
How on Earth does this band manage to improve other people’s songs so brilliantly?????
What the shitsticks? This is the sickest bass tone I've ever heard. Holy balls.
distortion?
Try White Stripes live concerts
@@crztrod phahha no not just distortion! He uses some sort of model where he can combine the tone of a bass amp and a guitar amp in one
@@crztrod octave and fuzz
Royal Blood's covers are my favorite thing. I love the band in general but I love their covers too, they do so amazing every time
I was guy I. The crowd in Portsmouth VA screaming play Roxanne the other night when they rocked it opening up for Queens of the Stone Age
He has the voice.
For some reason I was expecting mike to be using a guitar for this, but it actually sounds incredible on bass.
What a great cover. They're completly amazing. Love them.
That intro is hilarious!!! 😂😂 anyways, great cover
respect for those serious editing skills at 2:08 BBC!
It's just unfocusing the camera. No editing necessary
lol he dropped the drumstick at the beginning xD
XD
These guys rocked the fuck out at Bonnaroo 2017! Big fan from across the pond!
Jesus, just so awesome you could ever imagine from these guys.
That bass is illegal. Amazing cover
Edit: only just realised what I did there.
david504?
david504, is that you?
@@andrealves2210 god stop fucking mentioning him under every damn comment or video where you see "bass"
@@andrealves2210 epico
2:29 ... even the mighty Mike makes mistakes! which makes it even nicer!
Mikes vision to guitar tone and arrangment blows my fucking mind. Such a unique sound!!
Amazing!!! I love them so much
just the instrumental at the beginning gave me chills! SO damn good!
Damn I love the drums!
I loved it !!
yet another amazing performance by Royal Blood, great cover keep it up
fucking amazing :D
BEST band this year for real
Couldn't agree more, I saw em live. They're a real treat 😊
his voice reminds me of a young Robert Plant
and the drums eee gad.... sick great
+chase ruel Me too, they're amazing!
+whatadollslife nah man death from above 1979 is by far better than these guys but these guys are still good
this is so bloody awesome it's crazy!
Holy shit this is amazing

Omg that bass Sound is so cool
Please put this out on streaming platforms!

Gran versión. Magnificos
This has so much going for it! Ben and Mike need to bring out just an album full of covers! LOVE ROYAL BLOOD!
Great band! Nothing can touch them at the moment!

Sometimes you "don't mess with a classic"..... This is not one of those times. Great job
AMAZING
Pure gold!

I love royal blood.
Love it
Royal blood is such a great band...
I really do like this.
Drummer is sick!! These two are awesome
Rock! Love it.
This is the true cover to do, A lot of bands just play like the original band and this is so boring, in this video we can see te AMAZING COVER. Thanks for record this for us.....Good luck always
Just trying to wrap my head around this. These guys are already doing enough on their own, now this just redefines the concept of a cover.
Awesome!!!!!!
2020 still a banger. Done well lads
Hey I didn't know Ray Liotta's son was playing music!
Awesome!
Amazing cover
Excellente version !!!!!
Excellent stuff!
Masterpiece....
the bass turns this smooth classic song in to something seriously sexy, wins in my book
Really great cover!
Love the drums!
OMG DAT BASS SOUND!
So good
AWESOME
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS
Get in there lads. Epic!
J'adore!
All that from a Bass and Drums..fucking awesome
