You have my respect.

It's hard living with My Girl.

She says she loves me but she hurts me.

My personal Courtney Love.

It was just an intermission. It needed a break from debate.



Has the mind been changed?

No. It was a trick question.

OK. Let's break it down by genre/types.

On slide, I nominate Louisiana's own Sonny Landreth.

Slide = Derek Trucks

Yeah...Kurt should of went for Kim Shattuck or Kristen Pfaff. To late now.

Isn't that love in a nutshell?

Like the rule that every political thread devolves until something is inevitably compared to Hitler, music threads always devolve into mentioning The Beatles.

How about Getty Lee and Les Claypool on the same stage?

Claypool and Sean Lennon had a band called Delirium. Getty played with them for a short minute. In the link below they do Tomorrow Never Knows. At one point, about the 9:20 mark, Claypool is doing a solo and Getty fades into the background. Then Claypool just stops and the bass line continues in perfect synch as Getty steps into the spotlight continuing to play Claypool's solo. Cool stuff and great bass work by 2 of the best.

So, when you talk bass I think you have to put Lee and Entwistle into the conversation along with folks like Claypool (my opinion, he's the best) and Levin. But Flea? Fun, good, but not a great, imo.

And if anyone has an interest in the history of the bass instrument, check out Getty Lee's book "Big Beautiful Book of Bass".

And one more before the link:
Lets put Carol Kaye into the conversation. Known primarily for her work in The Wrecking Crew, she was the ultimate professional. You may not know who she is, but you've heard her thousands of times on hit records from the '60s & '70s. A lot of famous bass lines from those records were her invention.

It's Geddy, dammit.

 

[DaveXA]

But, but, but, you're married.

Yes, yes, yes I am.

 

[Madmarsha]

Yes, yes, yes I am.

Three times?

 

[Madmarsha]

It's Geddy, dammit.

Pwned.

 

[DaveXA]

Three times?

The hits keep on coming. I can't help it.

 

[sonicboom]

We have now hit bottom.

You may have just spoken wisdom that has never been uttered by man.

But EVH is still the G.OA.T.
