you need to practice a lot xD

I already got it XD It was not that hard at the end

This is a song that will make bass players look twice as badass! (If they can pull it off)

Bass in this band is probably like the most important thing

omg i fucking lost my mind playing this song, bass or guitar

For real. In my top 3 personal best bassists along with Peter Hook

@@iand4374 same. Maybe my #1. Crazy how effortless it seems to come to him. He drove the band in his time with Interpol. I still love Interpol and the recent albums have been good, but Carlos leaving left a hole. Paul has filled in on bass VERY admirably on the recent albums though

@@RFFVNS it's crazy getting this quick of a response to a 2-year old comment. But yes I agree with you somewhat. El Pintor was GREAT but as a giant Interpol fan I find myself making the same excuses for them as you just did(i am trying to say this respectfully). Carlos Dengler's basslines drove the band for for me but maybe im biased because I play bass. Idk I'm drunk

@@iand4374 love Paul's playing on Tidal Wave especially. Love El Pintor. I'm a drummer but play a little bass. Sam and Carlos were a great combo. Sam is also very underrated. Cheers 🍻 I'm also drunk haha

@@RFFVNS lol nice. I have not checked out any interpol past El Pintor, but I will. I havent in fear of it being awful. (I am a huge fan of Modest Mouse and havent listened to anything past Good News out of fear my nostalgia is ruined lol) have a good night bro.

its even crazier when u consider that he had only been playing bass for like 2-3 years by the time they made TOTBL.

@@gmarrt2340 believe it or not he never even touched a bass until he showed up for daniel’s audition in 98’ , and that’s when he composed all his parts to the pda bassline 😳 carlos motivates me to put down the bass

@@blunderless complete opposite to me, that in itself is just super inspiring, read in another interview that he actually started at guitar at an early age too

@@blunderlessI guess maybe he approached bass like a guitar player and that’s how it was so key in intepol’s sound unlike many bands

@@nondescriptbeing5944 not really, i heavily disagree with that notion. he played the bass more like a bass than most legendary bass players. he just was more dark and less funky, whilst still having bounce to his playing. if you look at obstacle 1 for example, he plays with a lot of etiquette in a very bass-y way. however he plays outside the instruments. you can’t get away with that staccato too easily in a guitar riff. this is why i think he’s much, much, different from peter hook. i think most people have it reversed… hooky played bass like a guitar; often using chords, while carlos played more like a bassist, using severe note discipline and withdrawal.

No, The New is my all time favourite. You can grab the emotions being poured into this song. It reminds me of my worst case of unrequited love. 2,5 years for nothing and 6 years later I am still not 100% over it. Let me say it like that, there was a perfect timing for that instrumental outro. Exactly after this very quiet "How am I doing?"

@@fiercephiltv5314 you're not alone, its been 6 years last Jan for me and I'm still not over it. when i play this intro on my bass, I almost cry

Not at all. It's a magical track. So deep, so sad, so strong... It's like a warm embrace. One of my favorite track of TOTBL. ❤️🇮🇹

Nope... Especially the melody during "I can't pretend, I don't need to defend a part of me from you"

GreetTheSacredCow unfortunately a lot of idiots out there think the bass needs to be turned all the way down

@@RFFVNS i always thought the bass should be a bit louder than the guitars due to how low frequency the instrument is.

@@blunderless agreed, I love bass. That's why Interpol is one of my favorite bands. They incorporate bass as if its another guitar, equally prominent

RFFVNS carlos d is the reason i got a bass

@@blunderless same here, I'm mainly a drummer but Carlos makes it so hard to not want to play bass

it may be in part because of aging and his heavy smoking

Harriet Tubman the guy was truly talented at it

@@xian5334 indeed, and it's crazy how he said he never really liked it, or at least it wasn't fulfilling enough for him.

Do yourself a favour and start listening to Elvis Costello and the attractions... BRUCE THOMAS IS UNREAL

Also self taught here, recently been trying to learn his bass lines by ear just from watching/listening these videos. Hard as fuck, but If I don’t use I lose it

I completely agree, I wish I could have seen Interpol in 2001 or 2002 when Carlos still seemed to enjoy it. As sad as it is with Carlos having left we still have all the live videos and albums to cherish. I also think without Carlos it gives the other members more room to breathe, creatively speaking.

If they were not properly understood then, what would change today, even if by a miracle they were still like that?

The name of my Math teacher is Carlos Donn, close enough XD

Carlos is the better.

captbarnacles1 i guess it's unique. You don't really hear great basslines anymore except for a few bands. The bass usually just plays what the lead guitar is playing but simplified. With bands like this the bass plays and holds its own which is attractive to hear.

@@ryancuster1607 THIS

me! And songs with prominent/distinguishable drums too.

@@ryancuster1607 this is changing even in pop music. Plenty of indie bands nowadays are influenced by tame impala and Vulfpeck, for example. And now there’s post punk revival trending on KZfaq. In pop you have Dua Lipa’s songs basslines. People only want groovy basslines to dance a lot. I like it. Better groovy than unidimensional I guess. Like a funk renascence!!

wise choice!!!

Cristiana Yup. He’s just on another level

Usted esta en cada vídeo de Interpol que veo! Genial

Jajajajajja siga buscando!me va a seguir encontrando

Jorge Aviles​

+Oli Mangano Viste el concierto de La Route To Rock?

+Jorge Aviles sii! en el que Paul estaba bastante borracho jaaj

thank you mr redfield i was just playing your video game re5 on steam

@@bearzdlc2172 that's cool help me beat Wesker

What? Mamon en que? Así se veía por su forma de expresión jaja xd

@@felipegodinezflores4476 su forma de ser era algo... especial xdd. Si ves alguna de sus entrevistas parecia un poco egocentrico o creido.Compuso las mejores lineas de bajo que haya escuchado en este genero , pero la verdad es mejor que haya salido de la banda porque con polcito ya ni se podian hablar, paraban discutiendo

@Richard Fukuda interpol is a whole different piece of art

Yet he was blessed with mad bass skills

Hence my comment

He really complimented the riffs with counter melody and still stayed locked in.

Andy Bell from Oasis (Bass) was great but actually played guitar in his first band RIDE.

@@businessdog do a guitar bass trading off thing with Paul in that case

You are not the only one!! :)

I keep coming back to it 🔥

pimienta73 una cosa fuera de este mundo. Es realmente difícil encontrar tanta creatividad tocando el bajo

+Juan Alberto Chavarria R. de verdad se extraña a ese interpol

Para mi se fue Carlos y se acabó Interpol, es como RHCP sin Frusciante

@@pabloguerrafuster al menos frusciante volvió

Feb 19 2003

Paul's smoking didn't help too much

fenix478 was lookin for that comment thx

you're welcome.

apparently not for Carlos

fuente de esa información ???

Marcelo Naranjo Un post algo viejo de páginas de música, o Wikipedia no recuerdo xD

Jajaja a lo bien parce.

Jajajajajaja quien sabe si sea cierto pero es posible

Hay una entrevista en KZfaq, donde dice lo mismo (todo en inglés)
