Agreed 100%

Nah...thats their band's sound...they're that great

@@dreadnought2529 Yeah but if the studios sound engineer is shit its not going to sound good at all on a recording or through their sound system.

@@dreadnought2529 naw bro the sound engineer controls the sound if it over takes the drums or vice versa

Well. The ‘sound’ is primarily down to their rig. Not to the engineer. Mike is very understandably precious about his set up. As a 2 piece they have both less and more with which to work.

09:00 minutes into Royal Blood and chill, and he gives you that look....

Αρτέμης Αναστασιάδης He's definitely looking at those girls 😏

Ayy breaking Benjamin

Like the "SATURATE" album cover bro

Totally

Like a boss😇🔥💎

Little Monster was perfect

Captain Assbananas i know

wouldnt you?

They clear don't feel the music.

They’re just vibing

Ha what I thought all this time

lucky bastard

+Kai Schneider It is they always play it slower live. I can guess because he recorded the bass part and singing part separately for the album (very common) didn't realize he couldn't sing and play at that speed and changed it for live stuff. Makes sense in my opinion it is hard to sing and play this song especially all the pull offs and bends.

crossbow170 i don't think thats why.. in most cases it would be easier to do all pull offs and so faster since the rithm is more clear. I think they either like the slow more 'heavy' sounds or they just have too little songs to play a full concert so they stretch it as far as they can

playing live sounds better

It’s because of the bass lines, he can’t play them at the speed on the album, Come On Over for example, that’s hammers and pull offs, which can be hard and if they play the rest of the song at a different tempo then that riff, it’d sound like shit

@@crossbow170 also they get paid based on time sometimes

john kyle yeah it’s amazing I have my own that’s a little bit similar but not like his

I bought that Zvex Mastotron he's using just because of that tone

@@Deaf_Notes yeah but probably one of the main parts of his tone as well is his octave pedal, he looks like he’s using a POG2 with the octave up setting and maybe a little bit of dry but whatever it is this is my favourite bass guitar/guitar tone ever

Conall S

literally "garage" band haha

Ryan Procop come down she's just filming

I am talking about the woman on the left side but dully noted.

Ryan Procop LOL, I was thinking the same thing. It's like they paid them to look bored.

Yup. That's a Gretsch Renown Maple.

It's all his bass. His pedal board splits the bass' signal into various octaves and plays them through all the different amps you see behind him. On top of that, he also switches certain signals off with his feet while he's playing. It's pretty awesome.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a backing track tbh. I think most radio show performances are done like this to prevent technical difficulties. I'm not discrediting mike's abilities here but it would be a hell of a lot more convenient to be able to sing without having to completely manhandle a bass guitar on the side, even short-scales.

Road Glider sometimes when bands gets tired they play slower so it easier to keep in time over long sets but tbh they’re probably playing slower bc why the fuck not?

the bass riffs combined with the vocals are hard for Mike to keep up with live, there's a lot of technical stuff going on with both the bass techniques and all the pedals, but hey, this is a 2 year old comment 😂

The basses are in different tuning on each song so he has to switch

***** That's Rock 'n' Roll... ;) Even if the gigs take only half an hour, RB are constantly playing there asses of since 2013. These few songs have so much substance and power! They have the potential to be still terrific in 25 years. I'm looking forward for additional gigs and records!

Don Kiel Are you the Roadie friend :) I mentioned about the poor roadie/tech only because he looked like he just didnt want to be there :) BUT what a great job that is and one that I would love. :)
