The “Lights Out” bass solo, said by the man himself, it was the most difficult to perform at first and yet it’s the most iconic part of that song for damn sure. - Also that Orange Jaguar is like sex on lava.
Je Ry Lol, I was referring and quoting Mike when he first created the bass solo. Watch the video dude. And talk to Mike about it, not me dude, I wasn’t the one who said this. (Man, I actually forgot about this comment lul. What a flashback!)
Fender/Squier will give us a hundred signature P basses that are nothing more than different color schemes but won’t give us the Mike Kerr signature Jaguar or Starcaster. Which will be something original and Something us bass players have been asking for!
@@ML-nj4qi I've played bass for 6 years now. Experimented with every sound I can try. Mike Kerr is a killer bassist, who says using a bass to make guitar sounds isn't how you play bass? It's an instrument for fuck's sake if you try and limit yourself to the "norms" how can you be unique? honestly people like you make me so disappointed in the music community.
I'd left my bass for ages from making slow progress, but hearing Mike talk about lining up his interest with his ability level is actually really encouraging. Started practicing again today :D
I'm sure there's many influences in RB. One, I do know and Mike would tell you himself is the "White Stripes", or any other band Jack's jamming with this week. He big on Jack White!
Pretty damn humble. The man may not play the most technically impossible stuff but the coordination to play and sing both parts with nothing to hide behind is a different type of mastery. I’m sure talent is an element of it but I’m very confident the care put into constructing and time spent practicing these songs is where he sets himself apart. Royal Blood, Bloc Party and Muse have long been my inspiration to build my independence between simultaneous vocal and instrumental parts. Absolutely removed the excuse of “no one can/does do that” and I’m thankful that they did
It's not just playing and singing it's also the extensive foot pedals with zero margin for error. The amount this guy takes on his shoulders is unreal, just a natural performer.
they r definitely into muse but hearing that directly from mike is amazing!! Muse is my favourite band and you just simply can't not love royal blood!!
Zvex mastotron, with auto wah and pitch shift. Closest I’ve come to replicating it is with mastotron, pitchfork at +1 octave 50% blend and a JHS foot fuzz v2 with a boss AW-3 with both vowels at 25% and decay at max
However great they maybe they still need to work on their lyrics - it's not upto the mark (Not a diss , just constructive criticism for one of favourite bands of last few years)
I think Ten Tonne Skeleton has some bomb ass lyric writing in it honestly, but yea I totally agree, a lot of the lyrics between songs are really samey, tho I dont want to judge cause im sure I can't do any better
He uses piccolo bass strings on one of his basses, theyre kinda like a mix of bass and guitar strings(the D and G look like the b and e string of a guitar), he uses that bass on the songs "Hook, Line, and Sinker" and "One Trick Pony"
well, ive tried to investigate this throughout a couple of months, there are a few "Fan Made" pedal or amp setups that get there. But LEGIT LEGIT he just gives ints here and there. I know he uses a POG, the cromatic tuner, some fuzz and overdrive pedals, and a wah wah, oh and a compressor. That should do.
We are Evangelizing here today, Jesus Christ is the King of Glory and power, because everyone who believes in him and is baptized will be saved, seek his salvation, Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and salvation, Christ said to be fishers of men and women for salvation, amen...

OKAY, we get it, nice innovative bass, NOW SELL IT TO US PLEASE.
For real
There is nothing innovative about that bass...Mike is basically saying playing Bass is easier than guitar.
M L what are you talking about
Still waiting too :(
Sell It? I want a giveaway haha
His bass tone is probably the most rich and badass I've ever heard.
Listen to death from above 1979, trust me. Its a duo too and they play drum and bass, the bass sound sick!

It's not really that hard to play,but it's still catchy.

Dude Nate Mendel's pbass is literally a red pbass with a fancy pickup and is $150 above standard price

Make the mike kerr signature bass
I’m just saying, a Mike Kerr Signature Jaguar bass would be pretty cool
Inspired by Muse. Absolute legend.
Mmm no, muse sucks, RB are great.
@@carlosfelipebenitezperez7951 you don't know what are you saying
@@carlosfelipebenitezperez7951 couldn't agree more, muse should be learning how to make good shit from royal blood

@Carlos Felipe Benitez Perez you're a moron lol
That orange bass is my favorite bass, period. I saw him play it at Bonnaroo last year and it sounded, and looked, amazing! 🤘
Pretty much the same sound for every other color
Assuming they all have the same electronics. Maybe they don't. Maybe they are modded. Maybe they do. We'll never know.
@@ruinouseffigy8308 yeah but it looks cooler
The new black and gold one that he’s been playing on tour recently is fucking amazing!!
Glad to see my favorite band blowing up. Rock on!!
Old bass Gretch cries
Gretsch are owned by Fender, so it's no loss to them haha.
Heaviest sounding rock duo in. a while. For just 2 guys it's a wall of sound.
dragon7590 you should check out the Cold Stares
The Lights out solo is so fulcong sexy. Thanks Mike and Ben.

You fender guys should start making the costum made mike kerr bassses, i would love to have another jaguar but with a big ass humbucker!
„Use Fuzz a lot and got Really into Muse“ i like this guy
These guys put on such an incredible show.
they r definitely into muse but hearing that directly from mike is amazing!! Muse is my favourite band and you just simply can't not love royal blood!!
Cannot love them??
I saw Muse live in Milton Keynes and Royal Blood were supporting them. Amazing night :)
“I look at other guitarists pedal boards and that’s three times what I have.”
*Shows multi effect unit*
Oh.
That’s not a multi effects unit... it’s a switcher FOR his pedals
Fender we need a Mike Kerr signature ASAP. Everyone would buy it and it would be amazing
I love how Mike was mentioning this GS he can't do. That makes him feel so much more human and real
Never clicked on a notification so fast.
Please make a signature model of the orange jaguar bass
that tone he gets when hes playing the solo part from lights out is amazing lol how does he get that sound what kind of fuzz is that?
Not sure what fuzz pedal he uses for it but he uses an auto wah during the solo also
It's a Zvex Mastotron fuzz, people have taken pictures of his pedal board during concerts
Zvex mastotron, with auto wah and pitch shift. Closest I’ve come to replicating it is with mastotron, pitchfork at +1 octave 50% blend and a JHS foot fuzz v2 with a boss AW-3 with both vowels at 25% and decay at max
He is so gorgeous
MAKE A SIGNATURE BASS!! They’re different and really cool and something us bassists really like
Why aren’t these available to the public. I needs that orange one
Almost been a year since this video came out. Still waiting on the signature jaguar bass Fender
Okay it has been almost 3 years : now make it official with a signature model!
It's amazing how no one on RUclips has been able to match his tone. They get close but it never sounds as good as his
what was the purpose of this video? At least if he had gone through his bass rig...
Love Royal blood. I just wish they didn't play Lights Out as slow though ☹️
Agree. And not only Lights Out, they do that with some other songs.
It's cause it's hard to play songs and sing if you're playing note per note and he hasn't fully mastered that skill yet but I still love it
So why does he make something in the studio that he won't be able to do later in live?
elZyngaWTF eerrm...because he can record every single track separetly?
szynkus18 Thats what I mean. Why he does things that aren't playable live?
Gotta love fender basses
However great they maybe they still need to work on their lyrics - it's not upto the mark
(Not a diss , just constructive criticism for one of favourite bands of last few years)
Angel Wing i agree with you, however the best of there lyrics is almost good enough to make up for the really generic lyrics 😂
I think Ten Tonne Skeleton has some bomb ass lyric writing in it honestly, but yea I totally agree, a lot of the lyrics between songs are really samey, tho I dont want to judge cause im sure I can't do any better
He is awesome 😍🤘❤
So, I missed it. Is he just playing a Jaguar with custom pickups?
Nice April Fools Day joke Fender. Don’t you want our money? Quit holding out on his signature
That white Jaguar tho
Fender needs to make a signature model of one those basses. Maybe the orange Jaguar
So does he use guitar strings on the bass? I don't understand..those looks likes bass strings (??)
He uses piccolo bass strings on one of his basses, theyre kinda like a mix of bass and guitar strings(the D and G look like the b and e string of a guitar), he uses that bass on the songs "Hook, Line, and Sinker" and "One Trick Pony"
I always like to think that mike kerr listened to motorhead growing up
I kinda miss his Gretsch
ThePustulioFoolio i agree
Yeah but you gotta admit, some of those custom Jag basses are hella sexy.
Its still fender owned lol
You guys did it wrong. It's supposed to say "and get the bass" at the end with a photo of that white and gold Jag.
Amazing tone, amazing band! 🔥
I’m just here cause he’s really cute
Still waiting for that bass fender 👁👄👁 cmon!
Wow, those are some loose strings huh.
Siôn Tate Set the saddles further back, problem solved.
MrShadowofthewind I think he likes them loose like that, it looks super heavy and it feels badass
it's due to the frame rate of the camera and the vibration of the strings it's probably not actually that floppy
This and it's a short scale bass, drop tuning with guitar strings. At least the bottom two.
It’s not actually that floppy it’s because of the cameras
BASS😍😍😍
Mike Fender Kerr of Royal Fender Blood Fender presents FenderFender
My interests line up with my ability.
Such a raw sound. Fucking love it.
I just had an assignment to submit an inspirational video for school and I chose this
The way he plays would make Lemmy Kilmister proud.
No it wouldn't...Don't you compare a TRUE bass player to this Poser.
Looove his talking voice
If i dont hear that i can buy a Mike Kerr signature bass im gonna be pissed.
Y’all HAVE to make a Mike Kerr signature bass now. PLEASE I BEG YOU DO IT
Niiice! I didn’t know he changed his basses! Congrats Fender his a genius, he NEEDS to be a Fender player forever!
Hello Fender, would you allow me to take this beautiful documentary subtitle in my language and post it on my personal channel?
Thank you
Come on, Fender, we're just waiting for a Squier (affordable) version of his Bass (or any Mustang with humbuckers, and those beautiful inlays)
Saw them play love with Queens of the Stone Age back in Sept. That Orange Jag was GORGEOUS
Mike Kerr sopignature bass pls.
Mediocre band, nothing very original or inspiring.
not mediocre at all
Was this filmed in Portland!? I think I was there!
B4 know Royal Blood: meh, Bass suck
After listen Royal Blood: *wallet cry out loud* i wan't bass but...
1:36
When you cry to yourself because you realize that the closest we'll ever get to this is the Squier Jaguar bass
And even that has been discontinued now :(
@@Deaf_Notes damn, I was considering buying one lmao
There is a new one closer to his, it comes in black and blue.
mike kerr el mejor bajista del mundo
why isn't fender selling these?
What guitar string gauges is Mike Kerr using on his bass?
🔥🔥🔥
I'd like to replace my blood with liquid royal blood
7 nation army...millenial's Smoke on the Water?
MAKE A SIGNATURE BASS I WOULD EMPTY MY BANK ACCOUNT
Maybe I'm violating the "unwritten rules" of RUclips channels but is there any LEGIT video/s out there of him showing his rig ?!
I REALLY wanna know how he gets his 'I can clearly hear a guitar in the mix but there's not any in there...SUCKAH!' :p -sound!!!!
well, ive tried to investigate this throughout a couple of months, there are a few "Fan Made" pedal or amp setups that get there. But LEGIT LEGIT he just gives ints here and there. I know he uses a POG, the cromatic tuner, some fuzz and overdrive pedals, and a wah wah, oh and a compressor. That should do.
_ Ribary_ Sounds like a plan, I'll look into it!! Thank you!!!!! :)
Wow from MMA to Music. God bless this man.
Eres mi bajista favorito contemporaneo pero eso no te quita la caramechero que llevas
What bass is that?
It's a short scale jaguar bass with a wide range bass humbucker and a mini humbucker but fender doesn't sell them
Fender rhodes is the way
He remind me of Peter Quill
Was waiting for them to announce a signature bass rip
when are we gonna get a Mike Kerr signature bass?
I got some news for u 👀👀👀
Then you have me. Zero peddles 😂😅
Make a god damn signature for this dude!!!
💟💓ROYAL BLOOD💟
Whens he gonna make that orange one a signature!
White Stripes + Wolfmother had a cheeky one night stand in a hotel room....9 months later out popped Royal Blood🤘🤗🤣....You guys kick ass👍🇦🇺

Yes. Yes he did
lightning bolt did it
I love Lightning Bolt
You are the new mood RB
0:29 when Muse inspired young artist
How come he hasn't seemed to have picked up a Bass VI...? I'd imagine it'd be perfect!
but what model of Fender he use?
This band is weird. It doesn’t work
Saw them just last night. Insane.
