@1:00 Correction: The sounds of Mark Sandman's music was mainly due to his drug use.
Lovely. A very overlooked and innovative player whose lines were laden with feeling.
Fantastic and very unique band
Treat Her Right was another band he was significant in. Again, it was an uncommon sounding band!
great video!i built a two sting bass and i'll try to tune in fifth.. thanks for lots of useful informations !
I’m so curious about the make of guitar he had… a premier bass? With the curly/ scroll part on the body. I can’t find one anywhere
Thank you so much for this video. This is fascinating
I LOVE MORPHINE
Cool man thanks for the video
Bass ,genius!!!!!!!!
Amazing songwriter and creative performer, thanks for the music Mark it has enriched my life!
REST IN PEACE, MARK. Just realized he passed away 25 years ago TODAY, on July 3, 1999.
I was in that crowd at Pinkpop 1994. The band had me hooked from the first moment. When I went to Backpack in Australia a year later, a cassette with Morphine on it was one of my most played during that travel.
no one can play like him
Vapors of Morphine is still a thing.
"He (Mark Sandman) had an amazing feel and was very creative. It’s not like he was a technical wizard: he was all about emotion." by Les Claypool when asked about his favorite bass albums.
no one calls it weird. it is original. it is art. get a clue.
Most Morphine songs are tuned in fifths, (D A or G C) but a few, like "I Know You III" and "Super Sex" are tuned to octaves (A A), and "Whisper" is tuned A F.
(Also, all of the songs on the first album "Good" are played on only one string, usually tuned to A.)
I got the same scratch to my voice as Mark that you can only get by living the blues, but I just don’t have as bassy a voice.
Would tuning the mark-bass (in fifths) to A-D or EA work better for me? Or should I head the other direction ala string #6 on a bass? (C would pair with G in fifths, right?)
If I recut the nut for a bass or tenor guitar for a Nashville-style tuning and pair each D & G with a thinner octave string, would I be creating, what the hell would I call them? A half-bass? Irish-Breakfast-tuned Parlor guitar?
What would Sandman sound like playing one of those?
great video, thanks for it! Only thing, at 5:52 "No wrong no right" is actually called Thursday (from the album Cure for Pain)
Let's not forget Morphine was a gutarless band making headway in the thick of the grunge era. It takes talent to pull that off. RIP Mark. It was about to blow up when he passed.
Step 1: write lyrics like Raymond Chandler or William S Boroughs novels.
Step2: compose music that is a stripped down essence of early rock, jazz, and blues
Easy, right?
Hello Paul!! Thanks for discovering such a huge talent!!! Very interesting and inspiring story!!! One question, what about pedals, distorsions, etc… ? ????
MIL GRACIAS CRACK!
