Fantastic band......my all time fav group...R.I.P. Bob & Mel.........u guys gave me so much joy in my younger days, listening & trying to play like you (lead guitar).....sigh!!
Mister Nokie Edwards,Don Wilson,Bob Bogle,Mel Taylor e Hijo,Gerry McGee, muchos afectos y saludos del Perú, su musica dio mucha vida a la juventud de los años 60, soy fanatico de su musica.
Its a pity they never came to England. No would be the time to bring out the "Young Ventures" After 50 years the music is still fresh to me. They were great.
Maravillosa melodia...no me cansare de oirla!!! Gracias The ventures!!!! Maestros de la música...los llevare siempre conmigo...con sus cds y en mi vida ya que desde q tenia 9 años los escucho...gracias Don por crear este tremendo grupo!!!!!❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
There guys had so many hits, they just kept cranking out this awesome style of song and what a sound it was. Hard to settle on one song as a Favorite. As they all were great sound hits. Imagine the energy, The practice sessions to make this all happen. I hope everyone can appreciate them for what they did. LEE
i enjoyed these numbers which I used to play in my group during 70's. In 70's shadows and ventures were the most popular group and sought very much in India. It is really great to listen to those numbers like walk dont run, pefidia, apache and hawaii 5 O not to miss pipeline. k.gopu, chennai India
You youngsters taking up guitars listen very closely and watch the finger work here and how they blend into each other with lead and rythem. Nobody else has ever copied this . THIS IS JUST THE BEST OF THE GREATEST EVER ! Man getting old just gets better with every passing day and it was my pleasure to live in this era with the greatest music man can make and we grew up with all of it . High School Dances , Parties , Drag Racing , Surfing , and then came Drugs and screwed up all of it !!
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE VENTURES AND STILL HAVE SOME OF THEIR ORIGINAL RECORD ALBUMS.I AM A GR- GRANDMOTHER AND WAS A TEENAGER WHEN THEY FIRST GOT POPULAR AND THEIR MUSIC WAS A VERY BIG PART OF MY LIFE. DOING GREAT FELLAS. ALICE
WOOOOOOW HERMOSO CIERTO WOOOW QUE RECUERDOS TAN BELLOS Y GRATOS COMO O,VIDAR TAN HERMOSA MUSICA SIN DUDA LA MEJOR ES UNA BELLEZA QUE RECUERDOS TAN BELLOS Y GRATOS RECUERDOS QUE JAMAS VOLVERAN SOLO QUEDARÁN EN NUESTRO CORAZON MUY HERMOSOOOOOOOO AMO THE VENTURES
fantastic players right from the start! its nice to see Bob Bogle here....no doubt he has expired but he will always be with the Ventures! its like he is still around....thanks for the great music to all the rest of the other members in the Ventures!
They started with Jazzmasters then got a Mosrite endorsement around '63. They stopped playing original Mosrites in the late 60s. Don started playing a 68 JM again sometime in the early 80s till 2002 as his main guitar. That guitar is now in the RR hall of fame. The guitars seen here Mosrite copies, they are: Bob playing a Ventures model Aria, Don playing a Wilson Bros VM75(i think) - Don's company. Nokie has his Hitchhiker guitar - his company.
You fabulous folks got to come to Malaysia for a gig as there are a lot of oldies (still alive of course, well, some have gone to the happy hunting ground!) here who were influenced by your great music during the '60's.
@65metal Yes. The drummer is Leon Taylor, son of the deceased Mel Taylor. And yes, Bob and Nokie switched up between lead guitar and bass. Bob was the original lead guitarist. Not sure why they switched. But, good to see Bob back on lead guitar. I actually work with Bob's grandson. Pretty neat.
@daveandy1 Thanks for the info, I thought that may be the case that they either switched or alternated between eras and/or songs. Also interesting to know you work with Bob's grandson. Do the surviving members perform yet today? If so I would like to see them.
Nokie0064, Thanks a lot. I have been listening to them for 48 years now...and still picking up their stuff..What a performance? The videos here are great, but still is there a DVD out there?
To 65 metal. Yes the lead guitarist (Nokie Edwards) actually joined the band as a bassist. Think they made like 4 albums or so. Then him and Bob Bogle switched from lead to bass.
Ventures are the reason I learned to play guitar. Imagine making a living at this? It's been great...now arthritis got me...bitch!! So now I teach. Man oh man look at Nokie go! Problem with the Mosrites - you could never keep them tuned.
I don't think they owned a 58. 58's are VERY rare since that was the JM's first year. Walk Don't Run was played on Bob's new 60 JM. The one going into the RRHOF is a 61 pictured on The Colorful Ventures. Don's most played JM was a 68. Paste this into youtube: Fender at NAMM 2008: Interview w/ Don Wilson of the Ventures
The red guitar is a Aria Ventures model - not made anymore and a copy of the original Mosrites they uses from '65 to '69. It has P90 pickups which are 'hotter' than the Mosrites. The bass being played is a Fender Ventures model P-bass reissued in '96 to 98?
@fincaman2 they did tons of their own ..but never received the cdedit or airplay they deserved..tunes like endless dream ...surfrider...pedal pusher and at least a hundred more [ginza lights another one ]..were excellent instrumentals ..but only the people who followed this type music ever heard them ..no airplay ...
@Zeigler68 Sorry but The Ventures were virtually unknown in England The Beatles would have been more influenced by The Shadows. It was only guitar nuts like me who followed The Ventures. Even now in the whole of Europe the average pop fan wouldn't have heard of The Ventures
Actually I believe that originally Nokie played bass and Bob played lead, Somewhere along there, they switched. The drummer is Leon Taylor, Son of Mel. BTW Mel was the older brother of Larry Taylor Bassist for Canned Heat

The Masters. I started playing guitar because of these gents. R.I.P. Mel T & Bob B!
Those were days!! 참 그웠던 그 시절의 Ventures의 대표곡들입니다.
상념에 젖게하는 음악들입니다.

Oh my goodness. They are still so great. Now this is a band.
Bob did a great job on Walk Don't Run!
these guys sound great ... especially for being live!
45 years and probably thier most crisp performance. Unbelievable!!! And I've got a woman.... are you kidding Nokie?
My god they're priceless!
Great 👍 .. forever..
when i was teenage, they're the favorite of mine.

Bob Bogle, Mel Taylor... The Best. R.I.P.
聞きごたえのあるライブに拍手

過去のライブと聞き比べると、みんな歳はとったけど、音楽性が格段に高まっているのがわかる。その努力に脱帽だ。聞きごたえのある演奏に拍手！
That is tight !

IT BEST SHOW , THANK.
RIP Mel & Bob .

That's exactly how they did it 50 years ago.
Used to be a big Jaguar guy till I discovered the Jazzmaster!
Yea, search for it. It's only avalible from Japan for $45.
Their version of I Got A Woman is the BEST!
anybody know who did it?
@fincaman2
Actually Walk Don't Run is a Johnny Smith original, so this a cover of a cover. ;D
@gretschsounds He's playing Bass on the first song and lead on the next.
I don't think they owned a 58. 58's are VERY rare since that was the JM's first year. Walk Don't Run was played on Bob's new 60 JM. The one going into the RRHOF is a 61 pictured on The Colorful Ventures.
Don's most played JM was a 68.

Still the same, thank god I hoped on this
メルが他界してしまい、今度はボブももう会え
なくなってしまいました・・・オリジナル・フォー
がもう聴けない事は、本当に悲しい事です。
ロック史にを刻み、日本のホ「ップス、ロックの
発展に影響を与えてくれたベンチャーズへ、
心から感謝したい。そして、ボブとメルのご冥
福を祈ります。
@gretschsounds He's playing Bass on this song
@fincaman2 they did tons of their own ..but never received the cdedit or airplay they deserved..tunes like endless dream ...surfrider...pedal pusher and at least a hundred more [ginza lights another one ]..were excellent instrumentals ..but only the people who followed this type music ever heard them ..no airplay ...
@jlbassplayer No this is a cover of the Chet Atkins original although they did make this tune their own
Nah, Bob has a Aria. Just look at the :40 second mark and the sticker next to the pickup selector.
My humble guess is that they are both Wilson Bros. models.
バンドTHE VENTURESのメンバーは、当時の音楽のギターヒーローです。 おめでとうとイタリアからの挨拶。 ruclips.net/video/UkcdJTcayPU/видео.html GUITAR BOOGIE
Let's do the Surfer Stomp. Does anyone remember?
Leon, is as good as his dad. =Stefan+
@Zeigler68 Sorry but The Ventures were virtually unknown in England The Beatles would have been more influenced by The Shadows. It was only guitar nuts like me who followed The Ventures. Even now in the whole of Europe the average pop fan wouldn't have heard of The Ventures
Did the lead guitar player play bass at one time? Also, is the drummer new to the group?
Actually I believe that originally Nokie played bass and Bob played lead, Somewhere along there, they switched. The drummer is Leon Taylor, Son of Mel. BTW Mel was the older brother of Larry Taylor Bassist for Canned Heat
@mlkemper I accept what you say but if you listen to their greatest hits album every one is a cover.
Don't you really just wonder who the three "dislikes" are?
where music were value for the musicians more tha te look (it did too) now... britneys, are anywhere
Did they ever do anything original or ws it just covers
When did Bob die?
