Topic: Why not about great bass players

CHERISH them well your RHYTHMSECTION, BASS + DRUMS follow them instead of them following you.
- JACO PASTORIUS.
- JOHN ENTWISTLE ( The WHO)
- GREG LAKE (take a pick: Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Asia = a so called super group).
- JACK BRUCE (Cream + many other bands)
- JOHN PAUL JONES Led Zeppelin

- MY GUITAR PLAYS EVERY STYLE = BLUES, ROCK, METAL, so I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY IT.

Re: Why not about great bass players

Paul McCartney in the Beatles years; just enough never too much transparent yet pertinent.
Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers; he's a monster

Doc, you're so right. Bass players are always ignored. Their importance is way under rated. I agree with all of the above though I'll have to listen to Greg Lake's work in ASIA; I remember the band but at the time I thought they were rubbish. I had no tolerance for the Super Group thing. It seemed like the fame and money more important than the music. A bunch of great individual musicians do not always make a great group. There's the whole chemistry thing to consider.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.
