In Japan, they have to pixelate Ryans fingers on all the video's.

The bass guitar is such a diverse instrument. Bass guitar players are underrated.

Came for a bass lesson. Left with a life lesson.

those forearms can bend metal

"Metallica is pop" Greater words have been said by no one.

The interviewer was actually looking and listening to Ryan. Not just sitting there anxious ready to talk again. The dude did great job... Ryan talking about being creative was just perfect. . Seriously the best Interview.... Ryan got emotional talking about his Warwick family. Beautiful ❤️... Ryan martini and John myung should make a song together!!!

I will never forget meeting Ryan and having him sign my thumb bass! Such an amazing artist and person!

nobody fucks a bass quite like The Beast Martinie. Just amazing to see

Interviewer: "Lets talk about gear" Ryan: "I mean, what is 'gear' anyways"

Amazing bass player and human being Ryan, the reason why i fell in love with the sound of the Thumb Bass and finally get one. Soften the glare great band, hope that i can get a record someday, and off course his work with Mudvayne still one of my biggest influences :)

imho Ryan is the best bass player in the whole world

It saddens me that I’ll probably never seen Mudvayne live again. However I did get to met Ryan in person and he was an awesome dude.

I don't know much about either band, but this interview has me falling in love with this guy

Man.. Ryan makes me appreciate music so much more. So much talent.

He's a very interesting individual. Sometimes I think he's an alien xD amazing bass player! One of my absolute favorites!

Have had the pleasure to meet Ryan on a few different occasions. Amazing player and an amazing person! At first he was my influence to be a better bassist, then he became my influence to become a better person as well.

Ryan needs to be my dad, or brother... or literally anything. His mindset is what I believe in music and its good to hear someone so passionate and honest.

16:15 When that low note comes in, that face says it all. It's a beautiful thing to play bass. So happy he's still doing his thing. Just watched his angle in the "dig" video and it brings me back to first getting the DVD and watching it over and over. Cool to see he's a human being at the end. Such a cool dude.

I miss Mudvayne.

Ryan just quoted space balls....yeah he just got super cool....he is such a great bass player...i hope he gets more famous.

One of the best in my generation by far! Seen him play twice and the guy kills it on Bass!

Anyone else fantasize about having a conversation with Ryan ?

When Ryan mentioned he was just listening to Kid A, and enjoys it, my head exploded! The thought of one of my favorite musicians listening to a group of some of my other favorite musicians is just surreal. I know it happens all the time but I still get a kick out of it.

SO much MUDVAYNE in that intro 🤘🤘 PLEASE come back to us. We really need you guys back, we are sinking in 2020. 🤘🇺🇸MUDVAYNE 2020🇺🇸🤘

13:52 so humble, this guy rocks

Ryan has definitely given us Ryan fans what we wanted!! Soften the glare is just perfect for me as a Ryan Martinie geek boy!!! He has taken his playing definitely to the next level,

His new band is great but he really shined in Mudvayne

I just love how genuine he is. fantastic musician, fantastic dude.

Truly amazing as always. Thank you for making this video.

His voice is not what I imagined.

I learned so much from this interview and it wasn't even one note. What a great dude with a brilliant mind.

man, such an awesome interview, and not because of the questions... Ryan is such an incredibly honest and cerebral speaker that it communicates perfectly. The music speaks for itself. I'm not a big mudvayne fan, but a huge fan of Ryan, and now Soften the Glare. Such a phenomenal bassist and musician. What is the limit? Nothing! Dude, you rock, and it's almost startling how awesome and intuitive your bass playing is. Completely blows me away

Amazingly professional dude, definitely one one the best, most unique bass masters the world has seen. Keep up the solid work Ryan, fucking love EVERYTHING you've done and probably will do!

Amazing technique, amazing style. Second to none Ryan.

Ryan does interviews, like he playes bass, just unique,

Thumbs up! Great to see Ryan rippin' it. You're awesome!

Fantastic interview. thank-you.

Best bass player EVER, the goat of bass players, hands down, or up, whatever. Mudvayne was the SHIOT!!

The interviewer is the most patient soul on Earth. Ryan is a spaz, which enables him to channel his energy & talent into his instrument.

As a bassist and a person in general ryan is just and amazing dude quite different in his approach and take and its quite awesome and beautiful always have loved his style and sound. Phenomenal musician and guy love you Ryan Martinie.. No homo

I miss your mudvayne days, brother. Your bass line composition is off the charts. Phenomenal.

what a humble man talking in there! So inspiring hearing him

Saw a comment "Came for a bass lesson, Left with a life lesson" like damn bro that's fcking true.

Met Ryan a few years ago at a very very small club in jersey with soften the glare. Loved it.

Incredible guy and incredible interview

Ryan is a beast on Bass. Definitely one of the best bassists out there today.

Reason i play bass. Taking my time I wanna be just as good so I'm taking my time and have a good teacher.

i love the videos with ryan the best

I love how he gave Jamie King a shout-out. Jamie is amazing and he played drums for the band Swift.

Very good Interview! art is music = music is art

Damn seeing Ryan get emotional, was seriously heart touching, so glad he went beyond mudvayne,

Loving Soften The Glare keep it up Ryan you are in my opinion The Best!!!

I may be a heterosexual man, but... I still love Ryan Martinie... He's the reason I started taking Music seriously.

A hero not only on bass but also as a great human being.

the question @ 6:25 and the subsequent answer gave me so much more respect for Ryan than i already had (which was a metric fuckton of respect)

Ryan you are the best 🤟🏻👑🤟🏻

Always Legendary Ryno!

His playing is magnificent.. He makes it sound fretless at times. Great tone and wonderful technique..

If only he was around when 8-bit sega games were created

amazing!!!!

He seems to be a really great guy and his technique is quite interesting. Thumbs up for the Spaceballs reference!

Such an interesting dude. And absolute monster!

One of the best bassists alive. Love me some Ryknow!

Ryan is a monster. One of the best!

Some people talks about victor wooten is great bassist and yes it is. But ryan is the greatest too he mix all bass technicals as he can play. And got velocity style goove even with metal and now with soften the glare we can see now how talented he is ... Since now a necessary reference foe every bassplayer

Been watching this interview forever,. Just realized now that the intro is from Soften the Glare's Turn Around.

Once I realised he was a jazz player, and hearing STG, it all made sense! Mudvayne was like a band around a bass player in LD 50! No disrespect to Mudvayne, I like what those other members did too, but yeah, I look at it slightly differently now. The other albums seemed to lose that raw, awesome bass sound, sitting nicely in the mix :) So wanna trade my old Ibanez BTB 5st for a Thumb 5 NT, and get back into play after. People like him inspire other people, and that's the greatest gift he gives.. through some AMAZING bass playing, and smart guy. Just makes life that little bit better, knowing these people exist! Sorry, got excited, and why not!

It's hard to imagine this Ryan being the demonic Ryan from Mudvayne. Very cool, humble, guy. Always my favorite bassist

AMAZING BASS PLAYER I LOVE HIM.!! CHEERS

Ive heard one Soften The Glare song and it was DOPE

One of my biggest influences as far as style

Ryan's married?!?! Dude awesome... Ryan said such great stuff. He looks great. He's bad ass. So many great and true stuff. About creating something people like. And being your own boss. Just great!!!.. I think Ryan just helped me pick a band name.... Interviewer asked great questions. Asking about how he came up with his sound was a great question... Honestly probably the best Interview I have ever taken the time to watch. Ryan's so smart. Especially me being n a new band in a written process. I listen to soften the glare and then go write with me new band. So inspiring for me, as a (human)

Would love to hear Ryan play a Wal!

I don't know why this surprised me, but what a colossal nerd. (In the good sense) hahaha

Great!!!

What about that moment on the ld50 DVD where Ryan spits at the drummer? This is Ryan after the glare was softened.

Interviewer seems to have undergone a personality bypass.

i love ryan !!! from japan

Go to animal as leaders !!!!!

I didn't know Stuart from "Big Bang Theory" could play bass! But seriously, Ryan is a beast. His sound in Mudvayne was so unique. Brr Brr Deng 4 lyfe.

This guy is a Bad Ass Bass player!!!!

Ryan martine could make a video playing Mudvayne "dull boy" too that bass solo is amazing

LOVE THIS MAN he such a beast and truly beautiful person!!! check out Michael Manring album THONK and of course victor Wooten if you like this bass playing style!!

I need to meet him

Eugene from Jinjer, Nick from Job for a cowboy, so many bassplayers were influenced by this man. It cannot be understated.

Man, he is such a cool dude!

No Brr Br Deng in the whole interview of playing. Was waiting for at least one Brr Brr Deng.

It seems that Ryan is playing Fodera basses nowadays. He's a fantastic player, indeed!

What a badass, standup guy and shredder bass player

RYAN BEST BASS

Badass

I hope I can afford a Warwick some day because they have the absolute craziest tone of any basses out there

We can all agree on how brilliant Ryan is on bass, and possibly how undervalued he is by the industry. Perhaps because the industry does not work well enough for pioneer artists?

when this guy plays the bass it sounds like hes playing a piano

That dude is a force of nature.

This is a strong Paul Rudd.

didn't expect ryan to be such a nerd 🤣

This guy is really a fucking genius. He speaks the truth about success and gives really good advice on how to be yourself as an artist. He's lived it all and is still the same person when he started. He's gonna be a wise old man lol.

❤❤❤

Came for the BR BR, Stayed for the DENG
