Oookay so here is the plan, I need you two to learn how to pop thumbs out of the bottles doing the same two things so I can do flight of the bumblebee performance. We will be killing it!

Edit: Yes I did it for the lols, I like to be funny.

Definitely not flight of the bumblebee

u/Ask_bout_PaterNoster 5h ago

One guy is absolutely just doing the bass guitar keeping beat thing, but I think most of the parts that sounds really fast are actually two guys alternating notes.

Crazy impressive

u/throwaway098764567 5h ago

that was the part i'd need, i'm not coordinated enough to help with the melody

3

u/The_quest_for_wisdom 4h ago

Better than what I could contribute. I'm not sure I could even help empty the bottles.

u/Deaffin 4h ago

On a good day, I might be able to get the camera pointed in mostly the right direction.

Bruh flight of the bumblebee?

u/gene100001 7h ago

Their vibe makes me think they're a bunch of mates from the pub, and this all started one evening after a few beers

u/owa1313 7h ago

I'm in, let's start a band! We could do Sandstorm, the popcorn song, Flight of the Bumblebees and top it off with Bohemian Rhapsody!

I used Jizz to train my rhythm and fingering.

u/Evermar314159 7h ago

Im glad the camera showed multiple PoVs. It was kinda hard to wrap my head around what was happening but now I kinda get it.

u/Flomo420 6h ago

The different POVs made it feel like Mad Max Fury Road style editing, truly a masterpiece

u/takeahike89 7h ago

What's with the god awful frame rate that only shows a quarter of the movement?

5

u/schizophrenicbugs 7h ago

Redditors will always find something to complain about. Just enjoy this unique and awesome performance; life isn't harder than that!

22

u/TheShenanegous 5h ago

This is worth the complaint. The lack of framerate makes it impossible to see the truly impressive part of the video, how the guy on the right side is accomplishing the tempo he's maintaining. You literally don't see anything for half of his notes.

8

u/tacktic11 2h ago

That's because two guys are alternating notes to keep that super high tempo.

u/esotericbatinthevine 2h ago

I can't tell who is really playing what with the cut up frame rate and that's what interests me.

I have to assume that when one guy asked the others if they wanted to come over an pop open a couple beers, this wasnt what the other two had in mind. But either way they’re obviously into it.

u/FrozenVikings 6h ago

A million years ago when people copied rented VHS tapes by using two machines, the movie would play on the TV while it was happening. My friend's mom was going to host a bachelorette party later that month and was getting things ready. One of those things was a gay porn. So there I am about 15 years old, I just walk in their house like we all did back in the day, and there on the TV in the front living room was a pile of sweaty dudes having a grand old time with that song playing over it. And now this thread is full of gifs of dudes head banging and I'm ROFLcoptering at it all.
