Pirates in Denver - big thanks to @thrillofthechaise for shooting this from the audience perspective!!! #livemusic #tour #wohz #bass #bassguitar #bassist #hanszimmer

Another backstage jam - trash percussion and vocals! @nokukhanyadlamini sang with Toto way back in 1997, so we decided to do a little tribute! #livemusic #tour #wohz #percussion #trashpercussion

Scenes from a day in Denver ahead of our show tonight. #tour #tourlife

Here’s a chunk of The Rock, live from Chicago. This tune is a wonderful blend of orchestral, synth and rock elements and it’s a great one for @elamirguitar and I to rock out on. #livemusic #wohz #tour #bass #bassguitar #bassist #hanszimmer

A BEAUTIFUL blending of African vocal and Irish whistle that happened entirely in the moment during our break. Special guest @danandflute started playing, @futurelove.s_official caught a vibe and @lucy.landymore (water cooler) @elamirguitar (bouzouki) and I (banjitar) brought it to life. Full transparency - I snuck in afterwards and added a bit of bass, just for fun. #livemusic #wohz #tour #bass #bassist #bassguitar #banjo #bouzouki #irishwhistle #irishmusic #african #africanmusic

This is one of my favourite parts of EVERY show - it’s the final 16 bars, @futurelove.s_official comes to the front of the stage and we ROCK OUT. it’s soooooo much fun. #livemusic #wohz #rocknroll #rockstar #piratesofthecaribbean

Minneapolis in pictures!!!

Another backstage jam with the choir!!! During the break at our Chicago show, we got the amazing @danandflute involved and make beautiful music together. #livemusic #tour #studio

Standing ovation for lion king. And the show wasn’t even close to being over!!!#livemusic #wohz #lionking #hanszimmer

‘How was work today honey?’ ‘Like we’re bending over backwards for these people…’ #livemusic #bassist #bass #guitar #wohz

Every so often I look up on stage and have enough presence of mind to really take in how incredible this moment in my life is. Make sure you look up sometimes too. #livemusic #performer #performance

Here’s a quick burst of Chicago! #tourlife #chicago #dayoff #goodvibes

During the break, we jumped into the green room with the choir and this glorious mix of singing and percussion erupted. Joy on the tour. #choir #african #percussion #rhythm #livemusic

Here’s a little clip from the tour - Prince of Egypt is a MASSIVE hit in the states and Canada, and it’s such a delight to hear @gbga and my brother @elamirguitar crushing it every night.

Backstage jamming with my guitar brother @elamirguitar and percussion legends @lucy.landymore and (he wandered into the jam!) @luisribeiro_percussion video by the inimitable @futurelove.s_official #jamming #livemusic #flamenco #guitar #bass #percussion

Time square with the @worldofhanszimmer crew!!!!

Happy birthday to the one and only @hanszimmer from everyone at the @worldofhanszimmer !!!

Albion Colossus tips and tricks 05: Be careful with the HYPE control. This feature is great for adding power and heft to your sound, but with too much of it, your bus compressors will start squashing the whole thing down. Be thoughtful and careful about how you use your most powerful sounds to ensure a clear, balanced and powerful OVERALL MIX. #spitfire #spitfireaudio #recording #studio #production #music #musicproducers #filmmusic #mediacomposer #composer

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 11: THE DAY I TRIED TO LIVE SOUNDGARDEN. Wow - another monstrous band. So much creativity and inventiveness - and that VOICE. They loved a good single note Sabbath-style riff, and this one is a bizarre chromatic-descending line with some pedals on the open E string in 7/4. Chew on that one time. #bass #bassguitar #recording #bassist #studio #grunge #soundgarden

As a teenager, I distinctly remember watching the Untouchables and finding certain scenes in it so deeply sad. It was this beautiful, simple melody played over slow, elegant string chords that really hit me. It’s the legendary @ennio___morricone showing the rest of us how it’s done. Often when it comes to scoring, that’s all you need. And there’s no substitute for having a REAL instrument in amongst all of the amazing digital stuff we use. For this video I used: 1. Spitfire originals Frozen Strings 2. Spitfire Abbey Road Low Percussion 3. Chieftain Low D Whistle 4. Roswell Pro Audio Delphois microphone (into a) 5. Cranbourne Audio Camden Preamp (with a touch of) 6. UADX Lexicon Reverb And a little compression and EQ. That’s it! #production #composer #composing #spitfireaudio #orchestra #filmcomposer #sounddesign #musicproducer

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 10: 5 MINUTES ALONE More Pantera. More Far Beyond Driven. When I posted I’m broken, someone requested I hit this BEAST. This section was a real test of my teenage bass technique - and I remember seeing it transcribed in a magazine and desperately trying to get it under my fingers. It’s all about staying relaxed and fluid, and keeping it tight with the guitar! It’s my @sandbergguitars 4-string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings and a HEALTHY amount of distortion from Parallax X. #Metal #bassist #pantera #studio #plectrum #pickbass #bassguitar #bass

Spitfire Albion Colossus Tips & Tricks 02: Linking faders @spitfireaudio power user move - link the faders together in Albion Colossus to add even more expressive control - you can link dynamics or expression with the size of your ensemble and the size of the space they’re playing in.

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 10: CULT OF PERSONALITY Oh my god. Living Colour. I remember this song just EXPLODED out of the radio the first time I heard it. The entire band was absolutely KILLING. I have no words. Apparently it got used in a video game, so lots of younger people know it from that. It. Fucking. Rocks. Job Done. It’s my @sandbergguitars @sandbergguitars.uk 4-string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings and a touch of drive. That’s it!. #rock #funkrock #bassist #livingcolour #studio #studio #bassguitar #bass

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 08: FREEDOM More RATM. This one dropped on an Irish TV show that featured all kinds of interesting and obscure deep cuts coming over from the US. I had the VHS standing by every week, just ready to hit record. So I’d miss the first 3/4 seconds and then strap in - it’s time for MASSIVE rock riffs. This opener is surprisingly easy to play, but sounds IMMENSE. It’s my @musicman 5-string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings clean, bright and well defined all the way, with a bit of drive on the top end and some compression on the bottom. #Metal #funkrock #rapmetal #bassist #RATM #rageagainstthemachine #studio #bassguitar #bass

More Metallica, more Black album. This riff was the start of side 2 and it was the perfect combination of speed, precision and heaviness. It was a great challenge to learn this - and just like the Soul II Soul track, it was all about consistency and groove. It’s my @sandbergguitars 5 string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings and some serious distortion from Parallax X. #Metal #bassist #metallica #studio #thrash #bass #bassguitar #plectrum #pickbass

Amazing to be out making noise with my musical brother @simonmcbrideguitar in Europe these past few weeks. I’m back home now, but looking forward to getting about again in the Summer. Watch this space for details! #guitar #bass #livemusic

Last month we took some members of @thelimitlessorchestra to Bremen with @igudesman to perform the Global Waltzing show. The @dkambremen were SUBLIME and we all had such a great time!!! #orchestra #livemusic #hanszimmer #inception

The Black Album. Wow. I know it’s much cooler to hit the deep cuts, and I started on Master of Puppets, but after the horrendous sound of And Justice for All, the Black album was unreal. The excitement around it as the singles dropped was palpable. For people without MTV, it was all about hoping that the Saturday morning Chart Show on ITV would be the Rock chart (as opposed to Indie or Dance) and when it was, you’d get to see the new Metallica video. This song was SOOOOO heavy and my teen band loved playing it when we rehearsed. It’s my @sandbergguitars 5 string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings and some serious distortion from Parallax X. #Metal #bassist #metallica #studio #thrash #bassguitar #plectrum #pickbass

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 05: I’M BROKEN I’m back with Pantera. This time, it’s a track from Far Beyond Driven. This album was so huge and heavy and aggressive sounding and it was SO much fun to play the riffs. There were two riffs in particular on this album that just CRUSHED. Can anyone guess what the other one was? It’s my @sandbergguitars 5 string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings and a HEALTHY amount of distortion from Parallax X. #Metal #bassist #pantera #studio #plectrum #pickbass #bassguitar

My new Sandberg bass just arrived. It’s beautiful, plays like a dream, and I’m looking forward to getting it out on the road in just 10 days time! Strung with @elixir_strings and rocking a Comfort Strapp.

Simon McBride Tour rehearsals 02: Show Me How to Love Here’s a quick clip of us rehearsing at Simon’s home studio - tour prep is well underway! We’re all super excited to be getting out on the road in Europe at the end of March and playing these songs live!!! Recorded on our @presonus digital mixer with @roswellproaudio mics and some @neuraldsp fx!!! #rehearsals #rock #bluesrock #deeppurple #guitar #guitarist #bass #bassist #drums #drummer

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 04: GET A LIFE I had spent so much of musical life playing rock and metal, so I wanted to branch out. I remember my older sister had Soul II Soul’s Greatest Hits (on tape) so I started digging in. The repetitive nature of the grooves and the consistency it asked for was really challenging for me - I had been all about energy, aggression and vibe, but probably not as much about precision and pocket as I should have. Cue a LOT of hip-hop, soul and pop playing. Interesting brain fact: whatever kind fo odd brain I have, I haven’t heard this song properly in about 30 years. Still remembered every word as soon as I heard it. Trying to sing complex lyrics while I hold down a groove is ALWAYS good practice. It’s my @sandbergguitars 5-string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings. #bassist #soulIIsoul #studio #pop #groove #bassguitar

Simon McBride trio rehearsals: The Stealer (part 02) - Here’s a cut of us live in the studio running through The Stealer, ahead of our tour at the end of March! It’s been a few years since we played together as a trio and it’s like we never stopped. #guitar #guitarist #deeppurple #drums #bass #rock #classicrock #studio

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 03: BADGE As a teenager, I was often hipped to great songs by the transcriptions in the Guitar World, Guitar Techniques, Bass Player and Bassist & Bass Techniques magazines. Badge showed up, so I went hunting and found it on my dad’s Cream LP. As soon as I heard it, I knew why Jack Bruce was considered a legend. Such a distinctive line, with fantastic creative playing throughout. It’s my @sireusaofficial Fretless 5-string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings. #Classicrock #bassist #cream #jackbruce #studio #bassguitar #fretless #fretlessbass #bassline #basscover

Grabbing a quick lunch before we get back to rehearsals with @igudesman!!!

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 02: 6:00 I can still remember the first time I heard Dream Theater - they previewed the album ‘Awake’ on the BBC 1 Rock Show and this was the first song they played. What an opener. It’s a riff that sits right in the middle of grooving and challenging, so it feels FUN to play. It’s my @sandbergguitars 5 string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings and a little splash of distortion from Parallax X. #Metal #bassist #dreamtheater #studio #prog

Getting set up for the @simonmcbrideguitar tour in March. It’s amazing fun to be back together again in this crazy trio. Video to follow!!

RIFFS OF MY YOUTH 01 - I was looking for something new to practice and instead I went back to my early days and dug out my favourite riffs. I could play this when I was 16 and it’s still sounding pretty respectable. It’s my @sandbergguitars 5 string through my @ebsswedenofficial rig with @elixir_strings and a HEALTHY amount of distortion. For me, PANTERA were the greatest metal rhythm section of all time. Playing their stuff is a challenge and a pleasure. #Metal #bassist #pantera #studio #plectrum #pickbass

Lovely to meet the legend that is @stevelukatherofficial backstage after the @totothemselves gig in Glasgow with my guitar brother, the amazing @simonmcbrideguitar #toto #guutar #deeppurple

On a little road trip with @simonmcbrideguitar @donnamcbrideart @lconaghan to see @totothemselves in glasgow!

We hit the studio after NAMM to do a session for @roswellproaudio - always a blast to have musicians of this calibre to play with. We decided to jam on The Red One - a wonderful song by @patmetheny - Drum sounds come courtesy of the amazing @jakobtopfloor and Charlie @ultimatestudiosinc has vibes, dog and gear to make your dreams come true. #studio #music #sessionmusician

Just arrived at @ultimatestudiosinc and the best thing about my whole day is right here!!!! #dog #studiodog

I brought the Irish weather with me! Hopefully this destroy all chance of further wildfires!!!!

Another crazy NAMM experience - we got an exclusive look at the music AI that @dreamtheaterofficial keyboardist @jcrudess is developing. Wonderful, inspiring and unsettling in its brilliance. Fun times with @justinguitar @darbytodd and @jakewillson1 #ai #music #keyboard

Well that was a thing. @bassmagazineonline Awards 2025 were insane. TOOL brought the fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Well that was mental. Last night the @bassmagazineonline awards show was FILLED with bass and friends - we got to see Tool live(!!!) @johnjpatitucci @monofartsneon and @lesclaypool - and it was great to hang with @scottsbasslessons @henriklinder @beneath_the_bassline @sheplaysbass @solobasssteve @dingwallguitars @guerillabass and @mattissonbass - all in all, an awesome night at NAMM!!!

Welcome to NAMM!!! #music #musicians

NAMM here we come!!! @darbytodd and I are listening to some @dvntownsend to get us in the mood. @british_airways - let’s go!!! See you all in Anaheim!

It’s almost here!!!! The new album from bona fide Rock legend @donaireykeys featuring @simonmcbrideguitar @jonfinnigandrums @mitchelemms and @carlsentance sounds INCREDIBLE - we recorded this before lockdown with @piersmortimer and it’ll be available at the end of March on @earmusic - really hoping we get out to play it live some time in 2025!!!

I’ll be heading to NAMM next week with @darbytodd @jakobtopfloor @jakewillson1 and @scarguitar - let me know if you’re gonna be there and let’s hang!!!

This is just about as good as it gets - if you haven’t already checked her out, so listen to / watch @alexandra.tirsu she is at the top of the top. And a wonderful human being too!

Striking a pose with @thelimitlessorchestra and @hanszimmer at @dubaiopera

Beautiful to get rocking out with these two nutters in @dubaiopera over the weekend. @hanszimmer has been a constant source of inspiration in my musical life and @igudesman is so exceptional, creative and awe-inspiring, that I always say yes. Before I know the location, the project, the fees - just YES. This time, I collaborated with Aleksey to create From Time To Time: Inception Variations - and Hans joined us to play it onstage. I learn, grow and meet so many awesome people every time we get to create together. Both of these men have enriched my life to no end. #livemusic #orchestra

My bass tone is crushing it on this gig! There’s no better feeling than arriving on a stage with an @ebsswedenofficial rig behind me. @bosse_bas you’re a legend!!! And my new @sandbergguitars.uk bass is still blowing my mind. Beautiful photography by @viktor.andriichenko.fotograf and amazing vibes with @thelimitlessorchestra and @hanszimmer #livemusic #bass #bassguitar

This week has been MENTAL. So much joy, creativity, laughter and HARD WORK with @thelimitlessorchestra and @igudesman - we’re making final touches before we connect with @hanszimmer at @dubaiopera - it’s gonna be EPIC. #live #livemusic #orchestra #hanszimmer

Straight from the airport into tech setup with @thelimitlessorchestra. Rehearsals start first thing tomorrow morning and then a week of experiments before we fly to Dubai to connect up with the one and only @hanszimmer

Time to get a fresh set of @elixir_strings on my Barnes and Mullins resonator. @the.guitaristsworld will post some clips once they’ve settled in. #resonator #resonatorguitar #guitar #guitarstrings #folk #country

Well. The @worldofhanszimmer Autumn tour is done. It is, without a doubt one of the most incredible things I have ever done in my life. As a little memory capture, what started as a backstage jam has now been turned into a little single. I recorded people in backstage rooms, hotels, onstage and in any corner where we could make it happen. A pair of Roswell mics and a lot of ingenuity got it sounding fabulous. Recording is all about capturing what’s in front of you, and having a cast of astonishing musicians on hand means there was magic at every turn. Thank you so much to everyone who gave their time, love and energy to it. Special mention for @jeroensimons013 for tech help at every show. #wohz #tour #hanszimmer #recording #acoustic #acousticguitar #bass #tourlife

The end of Inception absolutely devastated me tonight. We have one more show to play. It’s a lot of feelings. The audience shone all their phone lights for us, and one by one they went out until @berfinaksu was left playing alone. @sandra.tomek has created something truly special with this show - through the people she has entrusted with it. We get to touch something truly numinous here and through that, we get to share something transcendent with a room full of strangers. There’s nothing but love in the room. #wohz #tour #livemusic

One more show to go and the backstage fun continues. We have all xmas themed quotes as we head into the final shows!!! #wohz #tourlife #tour #grinch #christmas

We’ve just arrived in Malaga and the sun is BEAMING. Loving life as we head into the penultimate show. #wohz #tour #tourlife

@worldofhanszimmer rocking Pamplona tonight! You guys were beautiful and we loved playing for you!!!

Tonight was a real trip. I met the legendary @officialjohnmclaughlin way back in my early 20s when he was playing with The Heart of Things and tonight he came to see the @worldofhanszimmer show. He was humble, charming and had words of warm encouragement - back then and again tonight. Special thanks to @julian_v.s.touring for inviting him along. It’s always a delight and an honour to perform for a master.

So much fun playing DOBBLE on the boys bus!! #WOHZ #tourlife #dobble

Just unbelievable. The energy in the room tonight was on another level. They charged us up and we blasted it back. Words do a poor job - if you were there, you know already. @worldofhanszimmer #wohz #livemusic #tour #hanszimmer #

It’s starting to get weird in the @worldofhanszimmer boys dressing room. @encyclopia says she’s just trying to challenge me. She is succeeding. I’m not sure if I am. 1000xp for anyone who I can tell what this from. Welcome to my table read. #auditon

We’re getting philosophical in the backstage at WOHZ. Special thanks to @encyclopia for keeping the backstage intellectually challenging. This tour team is the BEST #philosophy #kant #tourlife

Every night, the magic never wears off. It never even wears thin. It’s just deep and rich and fills up your heart. I love this show, this band and this incredible team that makes it all happen. @worldofhanszimmer #wohz #livemusic #tour

Fire the bass cannon!!!!! Another incredible show with @worldofhanszimmer rocking my @sandbergguitars bass, @ebsswedenofficial amps and pedals and my @elixir_strings and it sounds glorious through my @ultimateearspro IEMs!!! #wohz #livemusic #bassist #bassistsofinstagram #hanszimmer

Well this is just incredible. @encyclopia made me a beautiful sign in the @worldofhanszimmer boys changing room. I’ll invite her to do one per gig with a different line and I’ll deliver them in Arnold style until everyone is bored. (I.e tomorrow)

PARIS - you ROCKED!!! what a blast. And we get to do it all over again tonight!!! #wohz #livemusic #hanszimmer

Another green room jam - this one showcases the incredible @futurelove.s_official with @elamirguitar bringing his very own funky flamenco style and @lucy.landymore playing found objects as amazing percussion! We did a cheeky overdub with @saulius.petreikis on bamboo flute and some harmonies from Futurelove. Voice, flute and guitar were all recorded using my @roswellproaudio mini K87s and my @sandbergguitars bass is rocking @elixir_strings through an @ebsswedenofficial microbass 3. Shout out to @encyclopia for her sterling video work!!! #wohz #livemusic #recording #tour #hanszimmer #acoustic #acousticguitar #bass #bassguitar #wonderfulworld #vocalist #flamencoguitar #percussion

Boys bus on the @worldofhanszimmer - up at 4am to see the Paul vs Tyson fight. Let’s RAWWWWK. #paulvstyson #miketyson #jakepaul
