What are you listening to?

Very cool! Bass is used very much as percussion.

 

Here's some good stuff right here

 

Totally, but I finally "heard" what he was doing, very simplistic, but also makes the song.

 

In the Mood has some cool bass too.

 

I was always impressed how "simplistic" Mozart could be. A certain amount of genius in that simplicity.

 

I think it was BB King who said something to the effect, " It took me a few years to learn what to play, and a lifetime to learn what not to play." That's why he could do so much with bending just one note.

 

I've always thought David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) understood this concept. Rather than dazzle with his technical speed and blues mastery, he knows that one well placed bent note can bring the house down.

Think solo in Comfortably Numb.

 

Look at our notes that crossed in cyber space, very cool

 

Absolutely.

I am really enjoying this thread and I wish more members would jump in. Hell, it's all good so don't be bashful.

 

Interesting to see the lineup for the recordings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Principle_of_Moments. Phil Collins on drums. I can't say I've heard of Paul Martinez on bass but he does a great job.

 

Very cool.

 

Robert Plant could probably hire any bassist he wanted. Paul must be pretty well regarded.

 

From what I understand, David Gilmour was a hellava bass player too. According to Dave, Roger Waters was faking it and Dave played all the bass lines in the studio. I saw Roger live, and I'm not gonna argue with this.

 

Time to do labor for a bit...

Here's what will be on the speakers...

 

I've read that.

 

I feel this is the consummate example of down and filthy dirty rebellious "balls out" biker rock. I give you the extended outtake version of "Bitch" by The Rolling Stones. The world's most overrated bar band.

 

It may be a bit overused but I think this track would also fit the description of "consummate down and dirty balls out biker rock".

 

Absolutely! Funny how that song introduced me to the work of the author Herman Hesse.
