Aside from him playing, Im so tired of the 'hype' crowd. Church is going on, and you have a whole group packed by the musicians waiting (sometimes w/camera) for something they can get the stank face to. They cant get praise or concentrate on God because they preoccupy themselves.
I respect Thad's skills, a lil busy in this clip as stated though IMO. On another note, is that a GK Fusion and cab hes playing?

Too busy... But you right he can do that cause his brother is Tye. But if you listen closely, there are a lot of [size=+1]bad notes[/size] getting thrown in there. He is moving so fast that most people can't hear it. To each his own, but I think if he through in only a couple of crazy runs and stayed pocket that would have set it off better. Many were the same runs. Not too impressed. But hey thats just mey opinion.
No doubt the kid has skills and is an excellent bass player. And yes he does some mind blowing things but I always look at the big picture! Again, maybe it's my age or I'm just from another generation that just is not a fan of this type of playing while ministering is going on! I question what kind of church allows 'shedding' during church time and fans making videos?? There's a time and place for everything. I just believe that there has to be more discipline! And I'm okay if y'all disagree!
Its actually quite different from his usual performances because he normally stays in the pocket. I can count on one hand how many times he left the pocket on the stand out DVD..... I was just gonna say... does anyone listen to "his" music...??... I believe it was the atmosphere.. thats why he was playing all over like that... but he does stay in tha pocket..
+1
It's not a fusion. It was a GK mb-500

ya'll can try to justify this clip in anyway you want but there is no way you are telling me he did this to glorify God. I mean come on this was a tye and GA setting not a thad & co. concert. he was really even paying attention to what the choir was doing but i thought i heard them singing a worship chant on repeat.
I dont care who his brother is or who any tribbett is God's reverence comes 1st.
I love thad as a bass player and a musician, loved the jae deal clip but come on this was not a joyful noise when u are seemingly overthrowing the real focus of what was happening at that moment. someone mentioned kim burrell and i love her stuff to death but that while like this clip it was really cool musically it was a total mess
sorry for the rant but if he rehearsed what was displayed then im shocked

I'm going to bust his chops on the P-Diddy comment...
i just can't agree with you on that, because you don't know what's in Thads heart, so to say that he wasn't doing anything to glorify God is kind of absurd. Unless he tells you so, there's no way for you to know or to make that kind of assumption.

"Judge not lest ye be judged." Easy to say, hard to do. When I see clips like this one, or when I attend services where the music takes on this particular flavor I think to myself, "Not my cup of worship tea."IMO its both ways.
As musicians we often influence the "Spirit" of a service by what we play or don't play--e.g., shout music, playing behind the pastor when he preaches--and congregation reaction has an effect on the musicians' playing and vice versa. I think it is a chicken-and-egg argument as to whether the Spirit influences the music or whether the music influences the Spirit.

That's what the people want.The people or the musicians? I see regular folks walk out of church when the 'shedding' starts!
Christians need entertainment too.I agree but I think it's mostly the musicians who are being entertained and my opinion is that it is self serving. I have played many gigs with younger church raised musicians and I found many (not all) of them totally undisciplined. They 'shed' ALL the time which is a no no in my book! I think secular music actually has more boundaries than church bred musicians care for. But this is a whole separate topic for which I'm full of opinions!! Even if this was NOT a church setting, is it not still ministering? If I'm standing around with a video camera waiting for that oooh ahhh moment from a really good musician, I am not being ministered to! What's the point?

Which isn't necessarily saying that conservative music isn't good, too.
But I've noticed that Pentecostals and Cogics etc, love that kinda stuff, and thats what they want.
see above. people, even non musicians love good music.
As for the last statement, I think its possible to be ministered to, and still appreciate the good music.....But everybody is different, so I'm not knocking you or your experiences.
but one thing to point out. and everyone take this to heart. we have to be mindful of what we do, because we are held accountable each time we turn someone away from God because of our own actions, and our music is no exception. i am NOT (repeat: i am NOT) saying thats what he did here but that applies to the ministering vs. shedding debate thats quietly emerging here.
thats not every church. im COGIC and i know people (even other pentecostals that are not COGIC) that'll sit u down if you go overboard and become a hindrance/distraction to whats going on.

Question, how would playing in such a manner turn someone from God?
What kind of bass does Thad play?Looks like a Fender Precision Bass Lyte..i may be wrong...
Looks like a Fender Precision Bass Lyte..i may be wrong...you are right but i think he's had alot of work done on it so it's really differnt from a regular lyte.
Also remember, Thad is actually the Music Director :). After listening to it a few more times, I have to say that except for in the last minute or so, everything does rather fit with the music though.
As I said before, my issue isnt with his playing, its with the "groupies". I think on one part cameras, video recording, and youtube have been a hinderance as well as a platform for boastfulness and pride.
Why do you have to call them groupies? ?/? :DAye, I got that from Floaded lol.
Does that make me a groupie? Does that mean that I cant praise God while the tape is rolling? Can I not Praise God and have an appreciation for the musician or the group ministering?
Aye, I got that from Floaded lol.
Actually I'm thinking the opposite. There maybe some that are actually deterred from praising God or opening up because they are scared of being put on the internet. Think its silly? Look at all the shout clips clowning on ppl. Aside from that, there are some that arent thinking about worship for trying to record the sick keyboardist or bass player, missing out on their deliverance, worship, etc. Dont get me wrong, its a balance, but also its about intention. That in turn can be a show off opportunity or distractor depending on the player.

;Dhaha that is hilarious!
;D
Aye, I got that from Floaded lol.
And is it just me, or does Thaddeus look like Diddy since he cut his dreads off?
if it wasnt thad and just some no name bass player there would be noone in here supporting this clip, lets keep it 100%
Nope, I just think its all you that feels that way.
if it wasnt thad and just some no name bass player there would be noone in here supporting this clip, lets keep it 100%
dude. i said that like 3 pages ago.
all who??? dude thad missed hits in the clip, i saw another clip where tye was messing around on the organ (same conference) that wouldve been appropriate cuz they were jamming out but if you say its ok for thad not to be sensitive that he has close 30+ musicians on stage watching him maybe just maybe he should have tried to focus their attention on God and not himself..................and before you find an excuse for that too we have seen many a clip when tye, thad and the rest of the band went in on worship and even one when he gave up his bass bcuz the move of the Spirit was so thick
M26, How can you know what he was focusing on? ?/?
Thank you, my thoughts exactly!!!!!
man looks on the outside, but God..........Yall know the rest! :D

Too bad you can't see a sarcastic statement on the screen in front of you. I have no excuse for his playing and I'm not looking for one. BTW, did That ask for 30+ musicians to be on stage and watch him? who are you or anyone else to say that he has asked for the focus to be on him? This type of thinking is what drives people away from the church. There's always "church folk" who say you can't come to church unless you dress this way, well guess what, my church we wear jeans. There's "church folk" who say whites can't congregate with blacks, guess whay, my church is a mixer of white, black and hispanic, and we'll except any other race for that matter. There's "church folk" who say you can't play this style of music, well guess what, we play whatever music we want play as long as its glorifying God. It doesn't matter if its rap, which we just had a KJ52 concert for the kids, jazz, gospel, conservative, etc. The bottom line is that God gets the glory and not "us."
So before anyone asks, or if you don't ask, I'm not COGIC, AME, Pentacostal, Catholic, etc. I'm non-denominational focusing on the will and purpose of God. "period"

Man looks on the outside, but God looks at Heart.
This does not give us the right to do as we want or not hold each other accountable
This is exactly y the church is falling apart cuz we wanna act like mess is not mess, I will concede that I think the modern church is rubbish and a lil partial to the old time that if u messed up u were still loved and held responsible.
I don't know and don't think I stated here thads focus was, but I guess in this age of popstar Hollywood gospel no one is accountable.
#1 wether thad asked for the attention or not he sure didn't try to sway them to where it belonged
#2 I don't know what church folk your talking about, maybe it's those that go to ur church who tell the youth to have sex just use a condom and if u still get pregnant get an abortion or don't worry since God loves us anyway it's cool u still get to sing ur solo or play the instruments and oh yea u might as well shack up too don't get married cuz ur young........the same church folk in ur church that tell the homosexual that we understand that u are living against the word of God but we still embrace and turn a blind eye.
Jeans, dressed up, black, white, jewelry, skirts have nothing to do with our repsonsibilities as Christians to first and foremost praise and worship God. U and ur type of church folk can do what y'all want and say but let's just look at how bad things in families and churches have gotten wit this liberated fake new age Christianity
I'm not the problem I

I live by the term, practice how you play, so whether somebody looks at me or not i cant just change my play style in the middle of a performance.

You cant go to a musician and be like "hey you go start worshiping right now." Thats a personal choice. You werent at the conference, so you dont know who had worshipped that whole night and this particular song didnt make fall on their face. All I'm saying is you were not there so you cant tell how his playing affected service that night. If you look in the background at all those hands waving in unison that tells that the majority of those people were not hindered in their worship. I dont see a problem with recording a performance, especially if you are taking it home to help your playing. If thad played like that in practice and during the performance so a bunch musicians staring at him and playing pocket. It could make the song feel empty causing other musicians to leave the pocket when thats not what they practiced. I live by the term, practice how you play, so whether somebody looks at me or not i cant just change my play style in the middle of a performance.I kinda did. On another note you gotta miss George W. Bush. Comedy gold every time he spoke. The guy was too funny.
Am I the only one who has actaully paid attention to the crowd and noticed that EVERYONE i can see in the congregation is FEELING what's going on?!?!
That solves said "issue" that has been brought up.
PLAY FOR JESUS THAD!!!!!!!!

i guess i am kinda mad on how you guys are playing Christianity so weak!
the title of this thread says the clip is insane, but i think ya'll are insane..........i think most noticed the crowd and most will note that that wasnt watching thad they were as mentioned before watching the ministry going on in the center of the stage not the far left, dont even think they cared if their was a bass at all.
thank you for highlighting a major problem with musicians, we feel aint nobody suppose to tell us anything
Church Hierarchy 101 in the morden church
#1 trustees
#2 musicians
#3 Pastor and everyone else and God sometimes "makes the top 10 if we are lucky"
wow to the comment above im shaking my head and about to turn it over to Jesus, Amen and Goodnight!
Why are we playing christianity so weak? Is it because everyone doesn't see eye to eye? Please enlighten us on how you play chrisitanity so strong.What i meant was that you cant force worship into peoples mouths like medicine. Musician or not.
i think ya'll are insane
Likewise :D
wow to the comment above im shaking my head and about to turn it over to Jesus, Amen and Goodnight!
I'm thinking that "musiqisme26" is actually "cleveakabig". ;) ;)
This is truly the funniest comment I've read in a while. I had totally forgot about this person. LOL!!!!!!!!! ROTFLSHMSH (rolling on the floor laughing so hard my stomach hurts) ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D
what exactly are you shaking your head about and taking to Jesus?!??!?!? That Thad is playing for him?
Without you being there and knowing what went on and how they got there you're sounding REALLY self righteous
"self-righteous
Adjective
thinking oneself more virtuous than others
self-righteousness n"
Were u there? I didn't see u mention that u were so the point someone being there is moot. U weren't there to say he did that in the spirit and I wasn't there so I can't say otherwise. So self righteous is anyone that doesn't jump on a bandwagon............LOL
Y'all keep watching YouTube and be blessed.....hahahaha
