And you'll notice, friends: No flash pots, no smoke bombs, no weird face makeup. Just fantastic musicians doing their thing. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame notwithstanding, The Ventures have never gotten the credit they truly deserve, IMHO.
I just discovered my project Covid-cope april 18th even if it takes till christmas ...LEARN THIS SONG on lead guitar thru a 64 ViBROVERB (till it makes weird popping noises-hey its a 64 so goota be kind to her.... Taylor is a MASTER I had no idea he does this. I'll be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak why this doesnt have 12million views is beyond me.
I hate to say it but i liked Mel's original playing in the 60's on the little 4 piece drum set with one ride cymbal and hi-hat. Kind of surprising that he maintained playing traditional grip when most rock drummers use match. It goes to show you that having a huge drum set does not make you a better drummer. I think the 1965 Japan concert was way better.
Calling him "average" just isn't true. In his prime he was better than you give him credit for. (He wasn't the fastest and he didn't play the most complicated rhythms, but he was TIGHT. Show me any drummer ever play a tighter line than this ... watch?v=fKsWl1fDzbw.) Just because someone can't do what Buddy RIch could doesn't make them "average".

this is not good or superb but magnificant! I dont miss the Mosrites what a tone on that lipstick pickup Strat !!! wow and those silky sliding 9ths on rhythm Gtar
soy fan de los venturosos de toda la vida y mi disco favorito es el de navidad y tube la oportunidad de escucharlos en vivo hace como cuarenta y tres años en la Cd. de Mexico.
When America still had the moral authority. When MBA never taught to sell 1c item for $100. When Good was good and evil was Evil. Honesty > Flexibility., Honor > Money and Life > Death. When America was not as greedy as the colonizers. I loved America. Not an American proud to say now. Would be ashamed to admit it earlier. This was the music. Inter school sports small city in ...very far off small town in a Asian country.
This version was ruined for me by the drummer tapping on the bass. I absolutely loved the original version when the bass came in after the drum solo; was the drummer involved in that version too? If so, he did a better job then.
si vous voyez bernard ce message je vous envoie le regret de n'avoir pas pue dire bonjours ce matin a géant casino est je peux encore vous dire ce que j'ai mis sur la lettre c'est réellent vraie , moi je peux vous dire que j'aurais la chance de revoir miguel , mon pere est ma mère est bien d'autres personnes dans le monde nouveau le paradis .
I like seeing what he's doing on that guitar in this version. Love the sound of the earlier live in Japan recording, but the footage isn't exactly very informational for someone wanting to learn this piece.
we loved to play that song and walk don't run....those were the days for young bands who were short on singing.....man we played lots of instrumentals....Memphis, scratchy, Matilda, wheels, surf twist, wipe out, caravan, 4o miles of bad road, milk cow blues, steel guitar rag, sleepwalk, out of limits, pipeline, our own curfew and crawling, the new wildwood flower (rock version), red river rock, sail along silvery moon, and many more...
I must've heard this a million-times...and yet enjoy it everytime...youtube now after years of listening on the 33 1/3 rpm vinyl since 1970s ---then in cassettes n CDs...THANKS, The Ventures... for such great instrumentals .

Best of ALL TIME!! Love and miss him. His son, Leon does a fantastic job.
ドラムがパットで客席を歩き回るなんて誰が想像しただろう。
常に自分たちができる最高のパフォーマンスを見せてくれる。
だからベンチャーなんだろう。
Ventures Is my band until I died !!! That's why I'm in music ! I'm 72 years old !!!!!! Yes .....
涙が出ました。
メルさんってスネアから何から、ホントにビックリするぐらいに
抜けの良気持ちいい音出すんですよね。
永遠の憧れです。
And you'll notice, friends: No flash pots, no smoke bombs, no weird face makeup. Just fantastic musicians doing their thing. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame notwithstanding, The Ventures have never gotten the credit they truly deserve, IMHO.
Right on!
懐かしくて素晴らしかったです
メルテイラーのドラム大好きでした。こんなかっこいいドラマーなかなかいません。
幕が降りた後、ステージ上でメルさんがボブさん、ジェリーさん、ドンさんへ歩み寄り ハイタッチや握手をする光景、見ていて｢1993年当時の｣ベンチャーズの結束力を感じ取れました
この頃、栃木県栃木市の文化会館に彼らが来てくれました。嬉しかったです。今でもはっきり彼らの
音を覚えています。会えて幸せでした。ず〜っと忘れません。ありがとうベンチャーズ(≧▽≦)
After Mell Taylor's death his son took over his place with the Ventures. He drums just like his dad. Possibly the best drummer ever!!!
Leon Taylor. Saw him with Mel and Nokie in, I think, 2012. Great drummer. They did Caravan, Mel would have been proud.

メル・ティラーのドラムに憧れて小生もドラムを志した一人としてコメントさせて頂きますがとにかく素晴らしいですョ!✌️🤩
これ大好き❤生で見ると…涙止まらない(///ω///)♪
私は67歳ですがヴェンチャーズを聞くと10代の頃を思い出します。
ONE OF THE GREAT DRUMMERS EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
ベースを叩く
すごい発想だ
メルテイラー、ボブ・ボーグルのご冥福をお祈り申しあげます。今まで素晴らしいドラムソロ、そして素晴らしいギターソロを聞かせてくれてありがとう。もし生まれ変わった時、またベンチャーに加入してほしいです。
Mell Taylor's son is Leon Taylor and is with the band now (2016) and tours mostly in Japan.
The Master!!! Mel Taylor R.I.P.
ヴェンチャーズは私が18歳の時、パイプラインを聞いてファンになりました。
Instrumentally only, perhaps the best rock band ever.
The drumsticks on the basgitaar sounds like music from some Pink Floyd album ! great !!!
is this guy(drummer) related to Buddy Rich ?? Glad he gets to show his skills compared to the early days. Great, great, great !!! Fantastic band !!
I saw Buddy Rich and his band live in 1971 in New York, this guy is every bit as good as Buddy. Wonder if they ever met?
Robert Gray the drummers name is Mel Taylor and he's not but liked his drumming I play drums and met Mel WIFE
Machine Gun Mel never disappoints.
初めてこのベースとドラムのパーフォーマンスを見たときは度肝を抜かれました！ボブさん、メルさん、ありがとう！

Thanks for sharing this video it's awesome, Mel was the best RIP..
Just plain ol good musicianship. Cut my teeth listening to these guys and they are still as great today. Big-Time musical inspiration.
Super!!!

as good if not better than the 60s version both are as good as I can remember
The drummer's name is still unknown by most.
Mel Taylor
Unbelievable Drummer.Those hands were Blessed to Drum.
El mejor grupo de música instrumental de todos los tiempos, muy bueno, de una calidad extraordinaria.
Mel did a great job, real entertainer!
Not Nokie but just as good. Nice to see Mel's son carrying on for his father.
I think Nokie is better, but I'm prejudice because I grew up with Nokie as lead.
Great Drum Solo by Leon Taylor!!
T`was Mel..Leon`s father.
SWolfgang1 Taylor is awesome!
..the drummers name is Mel Taylor
65か66ねんの来日アナログレコードでベースたたきのあとシンバルソロのときボブさんがベース弦こじってメルさんのじゃましてメルさんうるさーいと叫んでいました
I know it isn’t the original lineup but THE important thing is the chaps are carrying on the legacy. Well done boys!
This version was ruined for me by the drummer tapping on the bass.
I absolutely loved the original version when the bass came in after the drum solo; was the drummer involved in that version too? If so, he did a better job then.
お約束のベース叩き、1966年の時はシンバルでドンが、ボブのとこまで引っ張ってたけどね。何十年ぶりかで観たけど、笑っちゃったね。
メルさんの右に出るドラマーっています?リズムの魔術師ですね。どういう育ち方をなさったのか知りたいです。かっこいい!
ベンチャーズかっこいいですね！
si vous voyez bernard ce message je vous envoie le regret de n'avoir pas pue dire bonjours ce matin a géant casino est je peux encore vous dire ce que j'ai mis sur la lettre c'est réellent vraie , moi je peux vous dire que j'aurais la chance de revoir miguel , mon pere est ma mère est bien d'autres personnes dans le monde nouveau le paradis .
Mell tailor legend that sólo i beatiful omg❤️😀
real surf beats brought into a nice drum solo.
Why is the drummer wearing gloves? The great BRIAN BENNETT of The Shadows never did
So what?
I like seeing what he's doing on that guitar in this version. Love the sound of the earlier live in Japan recording, but the footage isn't exactly very informational for someone wanting to learn this piece.
Used to have 2 drummers nack in the day. It was epic. Live in Port Hueneme, & they still bust a show occassionally locally.
we need Mel in an Scorsese film
Un excelente Grupo y su musica Super👍
We have the ventures to thank for NES music like Megaman from Japan
Otlichno!
The Ventures!
Theyve always been good (the best) in all setups.
we loved to play that song and walk don't run....those were the days for young bands who were short on singing.....man we played lots of instrumentals....Memphis, scratchy, Matilda, wheels, surf twist, wipe out, caravan, 4o miles of bad road, milk cow blues, steel guitar rag, sleepwalk, out of limits, pipeline, our own curfew and crawling, the new wildwood flower (rock version), red river rock, sail along silvery moon, and many more...

Гипнотизёра

絶賛 絶賛 青春に絶賛
GENIALES.
No his name is Mel Taylor
Узнаешь только после смерти
muy. buena. sus canciones. lo. maximo
what is the name of ending song please?
Namida no kiss, literally meaning a kiss of tears. It's a cover of a Japanese song by the Southern All Stars.
The song is Blue Star, if you have time also listen to the version by The Shadows .
Мы не имеем морального права быть в стороне. Наша задача наладить работу прокуратуры в этой стране.

Whiplash came much later but a good tribute to Caravan and Mell

I love the polite hand shaking at the end. Amazing cultural phenomenon viewed from both audience and performers' perspective.
さすがメルテーラドラムや。
