OMG Nick Jonas plays a mandobird!

[mandocaster]

OMG! Like, I saw the Jonas Brothers last night (my 8 year old daugher wanted to go) and Nick Jonas OMG he's so dreamy OMG OMG played an 8 string mandobird! I couldnt, like hear it, you know, but there it was! OMG BFF!

Was it inflatable?

What an example of a father's love and sacrifice.

Mitch,

That was a wonderful review of last nights show. You don't, however, have tell us your daughter dragged you there. It's okay to just be you - we're all friends here

[mandocaster]

Honestly, they gave a good show. They didn't lip sync (there were a couple of off pitch moments), and they seemed like nice kids. I would like to have heard the mandobird, though.

I'll be sure to tell my 12 year old daughter tonight...though that'll probably lead to giggling and blushing (her not me)...

I'm not a fan, but do respect that they at least play and sing...if they can survive child stardom who knows where they'll end up...

[mrmando]

Ask her to get a photo of Nick and the Mandobird if she can ... emando.com is in want of teenybopper traffic.

2 kewl. Eeeeeek!

... emando.com is in want of teenybopper traffic.

Image googling of "Nick Jonas" mandobird yields zero hits. "Nick Jonas" mandolin yields plenty of hits, but no pics of a mandobird or mandolin as far as I can tell.

My dark secret is finally out...

Martin Jonas (yes, those imposters are trading on the power of my name and good looks!)

[Scott Austin]

I'm still laughing OMG OMG

[eadg145]

What kind of pick is ol' Nick using there?

cheers,

David

[Tracy Ballinger]

First of all, there ought to be a "Don't drink and read" warning on that post! Second, if you can stand to listen to it, you can hear the mando here.

I think he's doing the "Palm Chop". He's a real innovator!

[Ted Eschliman]

My 10 year-old daughter is going to go nuts...

She did go nuts...

VERY IMPORTANT CORRECTION!
OMG! My daughter (the expert) says the picture I posted is Kevin Jonas. What an OF her old man is!
Like LOL B/F!
PANS!!

[Bob Andress]

Oh no - We can't keep our Jonas's straight! So which one plays the mandobird? Is it Nick or Kevin?
I think Nick plays it and Kevin just holds it for Nick when Nick isn't playing it. C'mon guys, I'm not gonna get to sleep with this question left open like this.........

[greg_tsam]

This thread is just so wrong. But then I watched the youtube video.. And I was sure of it.

[Bob Wiegers]

if you made it that far on the vid, notice the mando is ditched just in time to rock out. hmm...

[tango_grass]

I think I'll go hide now...

[mandocaster]

My kids informed me that it was Kevin who played the mandobird. I am so sorry. Let's see... is it Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas or Larry, Curly and Moe Jonas?

[mrmando]

Martin Jonas (yes, those imposters are trading on the power of my name and good looks!)

Or, you're the "other" Jonas brother ... the one they don't talk about!

One of my son's favorite musicians is Asheville, NC's Billy Jonas -- who is, like, an actual musician with, like, actual talent who, like, graduated from, like, Oberlin Conservatory. But when I try to tell people about him, the first question I get: "Isn't he one of the Jonas Brothers?"

[mrmando]

Ted, that photo deserves a caption contest.

"Grandmother, what big hands you have!"
"No, it just looks that way because the guitar's so small."

"Fame, fortune, and millions of screaming girls -- still, I won't be truly happy until I can get the right strings for this thing. I heard about this place called Emando.com...."

[CES]

Couldn't make it far enough in the video to actually see the Mandobird, then stabbed myself a couple times in the left eye for punishment for clicking the link...(not really, because then I couldn't see all the youtube videos of Sam Bush, Chris Thile, Bill, Dawg, etc, but the thought did cross my mind!)

[mrmando]

Um, there is no MandoBird in the video. Kevin plays a cheap F style for a bit.
