Title correction: Having Sax on the Subway

You magnificent son of a bitch, well played! Have some gold.

Sax in the city

Small correction: 2 men having sax on the subway.

You’re assuming I didn’t already read this as “Subway Sex Battle”….which I did. I was very confused by the video.

I’m hijacking the top comment to share the full version of this battle. It’s my favorite video on the internet and it would be a shame if you didn’t know about it.

I’d blame the cameraman, but based on his eyes at 0:17, my dude was high as hell.

Also moving train... But yeah, pretty high.

heres the much longer supercut

They blow huge pipes all day, what would you think?

That's the face of a man who knows exactly what kind of legendary shit is about to go down.

John blazed

He had to go back to his seat where his sax friend left the case. Made sure no one will take the stuff

I love how the cameraman realized he can't leave their stuff alone on a public subway and went back lmao

I love how as soon as started reading this comment , he went back to his stuff

That quick moment of panic when you realized you were vulnerable and thinking afterwards of how stupid you are

He looks pretty damn high

Because he got high

This is what the internet should be.

I feel like this is what the internet used to be? At least it was mostly this, there was still the darker stuff but you had to purposely look for it.

This is what humans should be. We're capable of being pretty damn awesome when we stop being shit-bags to each other.

Any idea where i can find more videos like this?

This is the way

Let me remind you of this classic, so you realise what it was actually for.

This is what it was

This is what the world should be. Just people vibin’ together.

The only kind of war I want

The good old days, where corporations didn’t pay to have their content above independent creators and every time you refreshed Reddit, every single link was replaced with new, just as entertaining ones. God damn centralized authority.

I knew that shit was real! I heard talk of legends of the master musicians battling in public transport, but this will do..So cool to live in a city like that, thank you for sharing.

Check out too many zooz they got their start in nyc subways

It's amazing to me that someone randomly begins playing an instrument on the subway and another stranger on the subway has the same instrument, (different types) and they know the same song and perfectly harmonize with one another, unplanned and spontaneous.

There’s a long version of this that covers the full battle. YouTube it.

You can’t state there’s a full video of it and not link it

the battle in question

That was a jam not a battle

Jamattle

I just wish the second guy caught the hint. Our "protagonist" played the flourishes over the other dude's baseline, but then when he tried to return the favour, that guy just...kept playing bass haha.

I'm at my girlfriends toilet right now and don't want her to think I'm pooing at this stage in the relationship so Imma make this comment so I can watch it later with sound

Have a nice poo boo

You can always just put post on your saved feed and watch it later, that's what I do.

bro everybody poops what kinda line of thought is this

I'm glad I'm past those kinds of manners. If you gon leave me for poopin go ahead

And god looked upon this and saw that it was good.

Why do I always get the crazies on the subway but they get a sax off?

Hahaha right?!? If I saw this then I would never get off that train. All I ever got were panhandlers. Sigh.

That's like when I go to 4chan after seeing good stuff on

This is how all of us should be to another. Having sax with each other.

Stay horny.

This clip is as old as reddit

Shot on a potato

Yet I still smile every time I see this

I think it’s about 8 years

seen this a million times but will upvote every time i see it.

To anyone who's looking for original :

Here's a supercut version:

Blocked in my country bc the video is owned by some media company. Absurd.. Youtube is insane these days.

The "ohhhhh shit" kills me

I loved living in New York specifically for the random things that would happen on the subway. I once saw a homeless man in whitey tighties and a bathrobe (nothing else) since the most beautiful opera aria. Only in nyc….

What is this townie nonsense that, doubly so for new yorkers, think this shit only happens in new york. I've never understood it. This is athing in every US city.

I will always watch this and upvote it when I see it

When you're doing an impromptu jam like that, how do you decide who takes the melody line and when to hand it off?

Musicians (particularly experienced ones) can feel each other out pretty quickly... It's mostly auditory and visual cues, but I can still only describe the process "by feel".

You can use visual cues, natural pivots in the song, or slightly overpower. The goal is to compliment each other. Both these guys are skilled and can freestyle. They get it.

Anyone else reminded of Too many zooz?

Leo P has entered the battle

This is so old but it will never stop being gold.

A classic, whats the name of the song?

How you gonna say classic and not give it the respect it needs to actually know the name.

Billy Jean

Idk this one but in the full video they play Chameleon by Herbie Hancock at some point

Battle is a funny word for it. Most higher level musicians are happy to run into others. I used to play professionally and it was always a joy to run into someone who could really play. The other guy seemed like he was into it. This was really pleasant to watch.

This is it. I've proven reddit repeats itself every 6 months.

That was awesome but the camera ended too soon

We doin this one again

This made me smile ear to ear

First time I've seen 1980s Paul Simon play the Sax

Oldie but a goodie

Goldie*

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

you better lose yourself in the music, the moment

The guy in the headphones looks pretty stoned.

This is heartwarming as hell

I miss NYC. The place defined my 20s.

Where’s the one where the whole thing is pieced together with multiple vids?

Here's another version

This is everything I love about humanity.

I always love when strangers get together on a whim and do some sweet stuff like this.

Misread the title, and I was incredibly disappointed

Misread too, but then I started to question myself when I started to understand what was happening

This guy knew it was his time to shine

Battle of the saxes

This makes me want to watch more “too many zoos” videos

I totally did not read “sax”… went from confused to happy very quickly.

Lip having a go with the sax!

This is soo magical it’s like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Didn’t want it to end

All the crazy subway videos lead me to read it as "Subway Sex Battle", but happy I was wrong.

Saxy!

This is the only benefit of living in NYC. But it makes everything else worth it

Right now, I love humanity

One of my favourite video of all time

savevideo

Now they bros!

Seeing things like this make me miss riding the Subways in New York City. And half of the things that actually happened never get filmed.

All conflicts should be settled this way

Possibly one of the best human interactions to exist

Best stuff on the internet

Coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. That was dope.

This is the content they should send into space to contact other lifeforms.

This is one of the greatest moments in all of recorded human history

Perfect way to start the day

Skullgirls

Subway sex battle..

Read that as well, was confused till I re read the title.

I read the title wrong

Just read "sex battle" like, how would this work??

Everyone’s gangsta until “Bloody stream” gets played by one of em

Supercut 6 minute version of this

Best thing I've ever seen! So wholesome.

A youtube classic

I’ll never tire from seeing this

I would miss my station for this.

Legendary video

Me: cries in tuba, alone.

Was that old lady dying at the end

You killed that old lady

Are we ignoring the dead guy opposite them?

Full video as far as I’m aware

[удалено]

Praise the cameraman, he went back and saved his bro's stuff from getting stolen.

He did his best with the amount of drugs in his system lol. (Check his eyes out)

He's still in NYC or whatever. Instinct is to never leave your stuff alone like that.

I love it but in the metro/subway/tube I am always looking out for scams. I couldn’t enjoy it freely, my mind couldn’t stop thinking this is a scam to harvest everyone’s pocket.

Just be poor then they can't take shit.

The fact that isn’t called Battle of the Saxes is astounding. Like come on.

The Saxman cometh

That little booty shake 😂

I love his intro music he gave himself.

I would have yell out "Here comes a new challenger

A classic

OMG I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE

I ultimately think that's great but I know it would be my luck that would happen to me after a shit day at work and I just needed to relax and decompress on my subway ride home.

I'd enjoy it

Such a fucking classic

Damn, I read the title too fast and got disappointed.

NGL definitely thought it said "Sex Battle"

Vibe check passed

Made my day

I remember this video! Love the growing enthusiasm of the challenger as he’s prep’ing :)

savevideobot

I love music.. One of the things that bring ppl together.

That thousand yard stare as he assessed his next victim in the beginning was priceless for me. And then backed it up with some funky shit. Get it

A sax-off

I’ll be the grouch and say this would be fucking annoying. I’ll also say I’d just walk to another train. People don’t appreciate silence enough.

There is a supercut of all videos made of this somewhere on youtube

justguysbeingbros

Ah, the joy of sax!

I found this a while back and still watch the youtube video frequently for how well these gentlemen play.

That was awesome

savevideo

This is fire and gold They get down I love the part where everyone starts clapping and gets into it

name of the song

Love this video

Sax has such a soothing sound to my ears.

Sax in the City

That's awesome!!!!

When there’s a sax battle, everyone wins.

Haha awesome

Read that with an e in the middle of sax instead of an a. Prepared for a risky click, surprised by wholesome content

This is one of the first videos I ever saw on Reddit. Still gives me goosebumps.

I’d never imagined two people soloing in harmony would be so amazing.

If Leo P isn’t there, is not a real battle.

I remember this from a year or so ago, so fucking good

Need more videos of saxes on subways instead of fights

I still dont get why train based public transport doesn't officially allow such things...

Need to get Leo P in there!

Haha love the sportsmanship

I read that as Subway Sex Battle at first.

Fuckers bopping like street fighter characters. Love it!

The black delegation would like to request these 2 magnificent mfers - Samuel L. Jackson

What's the exact genre name? I can only think of Sax blue but it's not quite there yet.

savevideo

Looks like Lip at first from Shameless.

I've seen this video so many times and yet it makes me smile every time.

Is one a sousaphone?

So cool
