When you've practised bass lines your whole life and now it's time to solo 😂

That keyboard solo was awesomely funny! "I'm just gonna play one note".

I feel sad for bass
They deserve more love.

As a bass player, Ive always hated the fact that the whole band drops out and leaves you high and dry after you've given all the soloists a solid foundation to do their thing....selfish bastards

Come on drummers! You and the bassist carry the band together, don't leave him hanging when he needs you the most.

This happened to me once. Singer shouted "and now... the bass solo!" and then the damn band stopped playing. I went for slow wibes with delay and then did this mad tapping "filler" to the end and finalized it all by randomly raising my fist in the air and yelling "AYYYY!" to the mic so people knew what to do! It wasn't as painful as in this video but still a damn sticky situation to be thrown into and I'm glad I survived with only mental scars of abandonment and loneliness. :D

Wow! I'm impressed at how good Charles is at pretending to be mediocre. Sounded just like me.

2:05 When backstage tells you you're on, but you were mid-shower

I was kinda bummed when the film 'School of Rock' ended and they were all having solos but the bass girl didnt have one..

I like how carefully he put his bass in the trash, "i dont mean it baby."

As a Bass Player, I got lucky enough to have 3/4 of my former bandmates in an old band be really cool about letting me have a solo, however one of our guitarists got so pissed at the idea he riffed over me so I couldn’t be heard. Night of our gig the informed the sound guy who boosted me up during than song. Good night.

So true... it's rare to find the band mates that will keep the groove going at a lower volume so the bass player can step up. Ego's have to be managed to some degree here. But when they do manage to pull together it's magic.

The one note during the keyboard solo SMACKED THOUGH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 I’m not even kidding

Tool's a great example of a band where the bassist is not only front and center for a lot of their songs, he literally gives the songs their vibe. He contributes not only melody, but also rhythm.

Problem with today’s musicians....they all look the same

[kadabarVIM]

When the drummer stood up and left, that kinda hurt

[matthewmarra]

I am always impressed with the cast on your vids... they are quite the professionals! Even the guy on keyboards! Whatever you pay them, double it!

[Laytar]

Nice acting skills Charles! Great actors all Charles, Gargles, Charlie, Carlos and Charles Band!! 😃🥇

Bass is like a support class. Highly under appreciated, and a vital component to the way a song sounds.

Let's just appreciate how much effort he did to make this video.
