Listen to death from above 1979, trust me. Its a duo too and they play drum and bass, the bass sound sick!
The “Lights Out” bass solo, said by the man himself, it was the most difficult to perform at first and yet it’s the most iconic part of that song for damn sure. - Also that Orange Jaguar is like sex on lava.

@@ML-nj4qi I've played bass for 6 years now. Experimented with every sound I can try. Mike Kerr is a killer bassist, who says using a bass to make guitar sounds isn't how you play bass? It's an instrument for fuck's sake if you try and limit yourself to the "norms" how can you be unique? honestly people like you make me so disappointed in the music community.

I'd left my bass for ages from making slow progress, but hearing Mike talk about lining up his interest with his ability level is actually really encouraging. Started practicing again today :D
I’m just saying, a Mike Kerr Signature Jaguar bass would be pretty cool
Heaviest sounding rock duo in. a while. For just 2 guys it's a wall of sound.

„Use Fuzz a lot and got Really into Muse“ i like this guy
Pretty damn humble. The man may not play the most technically impossible stuff but the coordination to play and sing both parts with nothing to hide behind is a different type of mastery. I’m sure talent is an element of it but I’m very confident the care put into constructing and time spent practicing these songs is where he sets himself apart. Royal Blood, Bloc Party and Muse have long been my inspiration to build my independence between simultaneous vocal and instrumental parts. Absolutely removed the excuse of “no one can/does do that” and I’m thankful that they did

It's not just playing and singing it's also the extensive foot pedals with zero margin for error. The amount this guy takes on his shoulders is unreal, just a natural performer.

You guys did it wrong. It's supposed to say "and get the bass" at the end with a photo of that white and gold Jag.

I really want to see his pedalboard.
My interests line up with my ability.
Whens he gonna make that orange one a signature!
Come on, Fender, we're just waiting for a Squier (affordable) version of his Bass (or any Mustang with humbuckers, and those beautiful inlays)
How come he hasn't seemed to have picked up a Bass VI...? I'd imagine it'd be perfect!
