Def Leppard - Rocket (Visualize Video Edit)

... It's me, or, if you will, us. My colleagues and myself. State Orchestra. Second Brahms, this is impressive. Here we are six of us. Most of the team. There are eight of us in all. Sometimes they add from the side of two more, it turns out ten. It happens twelve, this is a force, I tell you, a great power. With the twelve double bass players, if they want to - purely theoretically for now - the whole orchestra will not cope. Even just by sound. It’s too tough for them. And we can’t do without us. Ask anyone. Any musician will confirm that the orchestra will always do without a conductor, but not without double bass. For centuries, orchestras existed without a conductor. From the point of view of the history of music, the conductor is an invention of modern times. Nineteenth century.In turn, I am ready to confirm that even in the State Orchestra we sometimes play absolutely independently of the conductor. Or contrary to him. Sometimes we play against him so that he does not notice it. Let’s draw anything in the air, but we beat the beat ourselves with the foot. Not with the chief conductor, of course. But when a celebrity is conducting, as a rule. These are our secret joys. Words can not convey. But this is in parentheses.
