He paid some dues before he was able to do what he wants.

He’s a great example of real masculinity…he’s true to himself, and not afraid to accept and fight for others ❤️

Keanu would be first to say that “a man’s man” is a ridiculous notion of gender.

Keanu played in Dogstar way back in the 90s. They've reunited the band.

I’d play guitar with this dude anytime! Just love the way he thinks about music.

I loved that part! 😊

…”because we’re gonna die and I have this good-for-nothing fucking pile of money just sitting there.” Full quote. Probably.

memento mori... keanu's a stoic

This may be the greatest quote I ever heard!!! There is literally no retort or turning down to this statement!

Don't let your fear of change become complacency. That's how you die.

Wow, that's incredible!I have a lot of questions on my mind . How did you get to meet him, meeting him would feel like a dream come through! Yet, does becoming a club member pose its own set of challenges?

In 2023 I watched an interview on E-news where Reeves shared his experiences meeting devoted fans. Intrigued by the topic, I delved into some research and found an exclusive fan club via Radiant Reservation. As member there is a chance to meet him Reeves sets aside time at the end of each month to meet with active club members.

Becoming a member of this exclusive fan club is very easy, all you need is simply pay attention to your email , meet certain criteria such as active participation in fan events. The opportunity is worthwhile,I have always imagined how it would feel to meet him. He exceeded my expectations ,we talked about a lot of things, and he often laughed heartily before answering most of my questions. He mentioned that he changed his hair because he's preparing to film Constantine 2.

I stumbled upon RR, the Radiant Reservation community, which excels in facilitating arrangements with celebrities/public figures and private organizations. Their tremendous support makes them an outstanding resource for such endeavors.

That sounds amazing! I'll definitely explore the possibility of joining the club. Appreciate you sharing this information! Indeed, it's a fantastic opportunity for fans like us.

You’re gonna crush it🙌🏽🔥

good luck mate, good on you

Thank you Bart, question mate Are you from down under? I was 18 months old when my parents left Australia for the US . Anyway we are preforming the first time at an open mike this Saturday night at Rockstars Of Tomorrow here in Las Vegas doing there songs.@@eigojiyouzu

You started at 40? That’s awesome good luck

Good luck, shred, have fun! 🤘

I was gonna comment something along those lines. It must be so cool to hang out with him and be his friend! So down to earth.

reddit cute moment uwu

ahhh i late 6 hours to said same thing lol

hes playing bass with a pick......

@@alexfisher4009exactly. I’d tell him “put that pick away bro”.

He's fucked in the head, the world's fucked in the head, and YOU'RE fucked in the head because MY fucked up head is inside it. Guess if you wanna save the world, that's the first step; get fucked in the head. -Johnny Silverhand

I love hearing that passion being translated into cyberpunk 2077 and I love to see that.

"He burned down half the city just to prove he was right and burned the other half just for fun."

Hearing Keanu after playing 2077 is something lol my brain just can't separate Silverhand from him. for me they're the same now haha

@@vava4743IT’SAME FOR ME MY BRAIN LISTENING THIS VOICE ASSOCIATE AUTOMATICALLY TO SILVERHAND

Canadian national?

He’s Canadian, so he’s Canada’s national treasure 😂

He does ❤

​@@_GandalfTheGrey_true ❤😂

@@_GandalfTheGrey_Nope. He’s ours now. No takesies backsies.

The same. Successful man is successful in everything... 👍

He also plays guitar as Johnny Silverhand choomba !

play bass

pretty sure he cant play the violin

I remember a good shimshamming back in ‘93. Those were good times.

Seeing him move around not in a character... Normally you see him sitting on a panel show talking. Here you see him moving around... Having fun... Being human.

It's easy to not be about big money when you have big money. Also, willing to bet he got a nice cheque from Fender to be in this video.

It’s his childlike wonder and excitement, plus his humanity towards others that makes my heart feel good. If half the people in the world could embrace this concept, the world would be a better place for future generations.

This comment is underrated

I'm going through this now

I started playing guitar in my 30's... just for me, no expectations or stress or any rush.... I figured if I can learn 1 song well enough thats good enough for me... Now I'm in early 40's and in a band and getting paid to have fun.... beyond amazing to me, totally magical.

Or in your 60's... during the pandemic, I didn't get a puppy (I'm allergic), and I didn't learn to make bread, but I did pick up the bass.

@@markmadonna4099 Slappin da bass mon!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

That's actualy wise

Love, love will tear us apart again?

Absolutely! What is better than bikes and guitars???

Oh yeah i see where you going, i though abou that too.

We do ❤

dude i kept checking to see if i was still watching a fender video 💀

He probably just downloaded the skills into his cyberware.

i can only imagine one day dogstar would cover samurai's music, that'd be sick

@@sormedoce. that would be pretty sick yeah, didnt even think about that😅

As a long time (well, 15 years) bassist: Do it. Become a beast on it 💪

He didn't sell his soul like everybody else ❤

i think it's a job and a dream, a passion even maybe, but he doesn't forget he's only human, just like any of us, and aims to make the world a better place, that comes with first being nice to people and as uncomplicated as possible

Because that is what it is A ,Job!! No job no money!!!

Probably because he’s Canadian 🍁

yep, im just gonna add him to my someone-i-want-to-be-like list

Never Fade Away!

Some of the best music is the simplest

Ac dc is one of the biggest bands ever. Look up the bass lines on those songs. Keanus lines are probably a little more complicated then that even

That’s it man it’s about the passion

@@AspiringSpaceWizard Bass playing is about more than how many notes there are and how fast it is.

this is the big "secret" to Keanu. he's not a GREAT actor, he's not a GREAT bass player...he's just a GREAT human. he is what we all want to be, to hang around, to be friends with, to just know him would surely elevate a vibe of....relax and be there. his persona is just having fun, not so serious about life, doing his thing and being Keanu. this is what people adore about him.

Awww 🥰 Thanks for Supporting my career, Which of my movies is your favorite?🌺🌺

That's scary. Don't do that. 🤳*911* 🚨🚓 🚨 🚓 🚨 🚓

Pensando come ami la tua chitara " la tua motto " figurati quanto amerai la tua Donna ! Șei adorabile " posso amarti ....???? ❤

Totally. And the great thing about most of those artists is that new bass players can play along pretty quickly. Hooky was just learning to play bass himself during Joy Division so the parts aren’t complicated. Newbie bass players trying to follow in the footsteps of somebody like Geddy Lee, on the other hand, can’t get anywhere close to playing Geddy’s parts. (I speak from experience!)

cocteau twins are good too and killing joke.

I'm starting bass and have similar tastes/influences! Saw Keanu at that same guitar center in Hollywood! I regret not talking to him more and taking a picture :( Asked him if he was there to get his bass fixed (he was placing his bass back in the case) and he said just nodded and said yeah, but I noticed his face got kinda red so I figured he was shy or maybe wanted to stay low-key. I ended up being too shy myself and didn't bother him for a picture. I should've just asked :'(

​@@Cntricnah man, you did the right thing!! he's just a dude, after all. a real human being should never be seen as a photo op

Blister on your thumb ? Ive never had that one haha sore fingertips and a blister on plucking fingers but never that. Maybe that is more of a plectrum playing injury ? I play finger style im terrible with a pick, i ignored playing with it.

​@@AspiringSpaceWizard Look up Victor Wooten, and "funk/slap bass" and discover a whole new dimension of bass playing 🔥

Try using a pick it’s better for heavier baselines like Nirvana

​@AspiringSpaceWizard I mainly play guitar so I'm used to using my thumb on the low e when I'm going fingerstyle so when I play bass I do the same thing so maybe it's something similar to that for them

He bought a sandwich from me in Vermont once. Came in with his motorcycle helmet on but when he placed his order I knew that voice and said "Keanu?" He laughed and took off the helmet and we talked while I made the sandwich. Just as I was done a tour bus pulled up out front and he got a panicked look. I pointed to the back door and he grinned, threw me a $10 for a $5 sandwich and skedaddled out the back. Sigh, it was a mighty fine moment.

​@@Lelabearthat's so dope

Thats really rare for an American star on his level of fame. Happens in Europe though. His humility and humanity always set him apart. Nice to hear he still feels safe out and about and being as spontaneous as he feels like in the moment. Very few actually do, for very real reasons. I'd never dream of bugging someone like this for autographs or attention. That's a huge deterrent for moving freely in public. I have aquaintances that bought homes here in rural Europe for the singular reason of being able to go grocery shopping with their family and do normal stuff without being bugged by people (or even recognized alot of the time). Once yoy get how limiting that feeling is, you understand that kind of fame has huge set backs although it's integral to doing well in the performing arts. You have to be very level headed to not loose touch with yourself and start evolving solely within a weird and unhealthy bubble of "superstars". The thing about Keanu is his was always really level headed, and not driven by other peoples ideals or ambitions, but his own passions and interests. He also somehow managed to handle the angst of existance alot better than most, though he's been more challenged. He didn't lose sight of himself and join a cult (not naming here) or reach for religious dogma to deal with the blows. It takes a certain type of inner stregnth and humility to remain anchored in who you always were, in his scenario. It's a gift, but also something I assume he's worked really hard on. Huge respect for that. I can see why music suits him. He's more of a musician type of personality and the typical actor. And I disagree with the "dudes dude" comment. I think he's entirely disinterested in the alpha/beta binary view of people, genders and self. But if he's a rolemodel for men, that's very positive.

In the first matrix and Constantine, one actor plays under the name Keanu Reeves, and in John Wick, under the same name, Keanu Reeves is played by another actor, he is his understudy both in the movies and in real life for almost 30 years (just like Tom Cruise's understudies) . They've been bullying their fans like this for 25 years. In the last matrix, they both played under the same name Keanu Reeves in different episodes.

Also a motorcycle enthusiast

Dont forget hes a shooter too

I love this man! ❤

A martial artist as well.

What a dream life, his daughter and his girlfriend died, what a dream life

No lie. I know janitors that are more pretentious than him

I appreciate your love and support❤️❤️ How long have you been a supporter of mine?

he doesnt have kids, thats where he finds the time dude lol. But one day all he's going to have is time and likely wish he had kids. So there is that

​@@decimus81he had a stillborn, probably still has trauma from that

When Ryan Reynolds does it you see it coming but you don't care. I finished this video, read this comment and realized what just happened.

Yes me too ❤

@@KeanuReeves-oj4bn take a hike scammer. Keanu doesn't have any social media at all and he most certainly wouldn't waste his time on youtube. Loser!

And then the riff after it is very cyberpunk to boot.

Haha I did that at a show! It's fun to laugh

Or just good Tahitian vanilla coffee- Noah Noah coffee is phenomenal ❤❤ omg to die for ❤

Definitely awesome ❤

​@@ghgh9051what are you talking about?

​@@ghgh9051is this some elaborate joke that leads back to how Keanu Reeves is deemed to be an immortal.

yeah I'm the same age as he is, and to me 20 years ago will always be the 80's

me too! What else to ask for? invitation to jam there!

Me too!

Same, motorcycles, and playing bass are my escape.

Be careful because basses can kill you quick
