They performed this when we saw them live in California a few months ago. We were right in front of Widi and got a great lesson in how to shred a bass. As you said, they are all great but Widi is world-class. Thanks for checking this out, great capture.

I watched this video about ten hours ago but have only now found time to make a comment to add to those I've made on previous videos of yours which I have greatly enjoyed; you've even quoted a comment of mine from another channel in a recent reaction!. Like many listeners you spend some time on Widi's bass playing, justifiably. There is a video from 2-3 years ago of workshops they attended with some of Indonesia's premier metal musicians, guys now in their 40s, in an effort to hone their then raw talent and largely self-taught skills. Of the three, it was Widi who took the time to record what she was learning as notes on musical staves and patterns on the fretboard in a notebook. However, this is not to diminish the achievement of Marsya and Sitti and I'd like to develop that a wee bit. Sitti's somewhat unconventional drumming, especially some of her complex and fast kick drum rhythms (School Revolution, Not (Public) Property), are what's driving the song and she alternates her support for either bass or lead or vocal through the patterns she plays at critical or significant parts locking in with any or all of bass, lead or vocals. She plays steady and simple as often fast and complex. Marsya, while not a flash guitarist, is highly adept at complex riffs, time changes and can deliver a considered and effective solo. Above all, singing or rapping in a language not her own with vocal lines that do not remotely scan or employ a counter-rhythm over those complex riffs is nothing short of miraculous (The Enemy Of Earth Is You, Age Oriented). That VoB can do all this while sounding like they're jamming is just unfair to other musicians. You wonder about Widi's future. I think much depends on the community the three women have created within the band and how that has elevated them (check out the Penny Lane interviews). They are more than the sum of their parts, although those parts are hugely talented. It is difficult to imagine any of the three in another setting. In an idle moment I've often thought of VoB this way: Marsya is the head, Sitti the heart and Widi the soul. My apologies for this long comment, but your balanced, knowledgeable and intelligent reactions inspire further reaction/response. As we say in my local rock music community here in Edinburgh, Scotland, 'boogie is the law.'.

Mr. Emmerson, I'm always happy to read your comments, whatever length : - ) Another area where I would credit Marsya is control of tone. Having seen them perform live, I noticed that Marsya and Widi use very simple pedalboards and use them very lightly, mostly for sustain or switching in and out of distortion. Marsya especially gets a wonderful range of sounds from her fingers, without any fancy footwork. I've also noticed (as you commented) that the vocal rhythms can be very independent of the other instruments - it's not uncommon for Marsya's voice and guitar and Widi's bass and Siti's drum kit to inhabit different, sometimes partially overlapping parts of the beat. And then a few seconds later to switch to a much simpler set of rhythms. And then back into complexity. I love the constant change and the shifting tone and rhythm.

music rock is beautiful🤘 Indonesia's future rock stars 🤘 good job VOB 🤘

Hail VOB! 🤒🖤🇮🇩 Three cute rebellious girls

Thanks again Chris and Sam for more VOB! From Widi in 2019 - "Bass is the life that makes music more alive. Like any other musical instrument, it takes hard work to get the skills we want. It also takes sensitivity so that our bass can balance with other instruments. Many people can choose to play bass. But, not necessarily everyone can have the opportunity to be chosen by the bass to feel its magic."

Although Widi is very good technically, she's not the flashiest player out there - but I think that, among the technically strong players out there right now, she's the most musical. It's never just about showing off - it's always about playing that fits the mood of the piece, even if it's in an unexpected way. I think that's part of the balance she talks about.

@@robertpraetorius4007 Hey Robert, Barry Likumahuwa was one of her mentors and I think you'll find this clip very interesting... kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYipmqureK6agpM.html

P.S. to that comment, I still rate Kentut Merdeka as possibly their best piece of work.

The lone bass solo is actually a slice of the traditional Indonesian melodies and maybe it could more specific to their people's heritage, the Sundanese of West Java, Indonesia. As an outsider myself though living near Indonesia, it is a bit tricky to separate the Javanese and Sundanese traditional melodies.

Amazing instrumental. You're right to single out the bass, but the solo guitar parts in this remind me in the best way of 80s Iron Maiden's epic songs. Maybe my favourite VOB song.

Marsya played with her Gitar always Greatly Sound also Widi in Bass and Siti with her NYEKERNYA with Drums. ❤❤❤
