February 7, 201016 yr Author John Entwistle is one of my heroes, cause he was a showman in there early days, but he opted for better playing than throwing stuff around and being big on stage, which I admire. And as for that guy playing that YYZ line, he did really good! looks like he's playing an Ibanez SR506, and I love the SR series, so versatile and they just look sweet
February 8, 201016 yr One bass part that wets my pants every time I play it is the instrumental part in the middle of Powerslave by Iron Maiden starting at like 2:25. It's not too difficult to play, but it sounds amazing. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!

February 17, 201016 yr I like bassists that aren't all too fast and show offy, their bass lines are usually simple, yet satisfying. I.e. Jeordie White I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001.

February 22, 201016 yr Author and thats the first asian! lol just playing but seriously these are phenomenal :P
February 26, 201016 yr I think most (read: all) of you are talking about the wrong type of bass if you want to find the most epic player: . This is just a random bass-player, but he has all those others beat by a LONG mile. another random bass-player. Sorry, your rock/pop/Jazz basists hve nothing on these guys technically, musically, improvisationally or any other way. They can do practically everything on the double-bass melodically, solistically and in other genres (just add distortion)
February 27, 201016 yr Author These guys are pretty good, but I'm not sure that I would say that Entwistle has nothing on these guys. Honestly, it's a whole different instrument really, these guys would not be able to play a bass guitar the same as the people we've posted. Same as our rock/pop/jazz bassists probably wouldn't be able to play the double bass like that Rotaru guy. It's just not the same. And anyways this is a thread about Bass Guitar, not double bass haha but nice videos pretty impressive :P
February 27, 201016 yr Technical skill and musical ability alone do not make a musician. Steam | Soup | Last.fm
February 27, 201016 yr Chris Wolstenholme (Muse)Peter Hook (Joy Division, New Order)Adam Clayton (U2) Yes I know that Adam Clayton isn't really a great bassist but I love listening to his bass lines. Even though The Edge writes all the bass lines for him. :shock:
March 4, 201016 yr Author Dude Chris Wolstenholme I've noticed is crazy good!!! lol he's like a shining light for modern music :P And as for Adam...I hate U2, so very much, they're music is atrocious... Don't confuse that with me wanting to kill them I just never want to listen to 'em... Although I've never been a big fan of Bono in general
March 5, 201016 yr Dude Chris Wolstenholme I've noticed is crazy good!!! lol he's like a shining light for modern music :P And as for Adam...I hate U2, so very much, they're music is atrocious... Don't confuse that with me wanting to kill them I just never want to listen to 'em... Although I've never been a big fan of Bono in general I hate Bono because just like the Dixie Chicks, he needs to shut up and sing. I like all the other guys in U2 though. They mind their own business - and that is the music. Here's the thing with U2's music though.. There is NO ALBUM I can stand that is by U2. I love plenty of songs by them but can never listen to one album by them all the way through without cringing. I think U2 is a great song band, an even more amazing live band, but when it comes to whole studio albums, they're, as you say, atrocious in regards to just the albums as a whole being boring.
March 11, 201016 yr Author you obviously have a higher tolerance to crap than I, cause I can't even get through a minute of their songs. And I try, I really do, every time I hear a song I sit and torture myself to see if it's even a little bit good but it never fails, I end up leaving angry. Same thing with Journey, I just can not stand their singer.
March 11, 201016 yr Been listening to a lil' bit of Iron Maiden, and Steve Harris is pretty awesome. Not just because you can hear him clearly in the mix, but it just flows real well and is like a rhythm guitar without being too much like a guitar, but more than the standard bass. Someone pointed out powerslave earlier, that's a good example, as well as The Duellists from the same album. Command the Murderous Chalices! Drink ye harpooners! drink and swear, ye men that man the deathful whaleboat's bow- Death to Moby Dick!BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
March 18, 201016 yr I like bassists that aren't all too fast and show offy, their bass lines are usually simple, yet satisfying. I.e. Jeordie WhiteI agree. Some of the bass lines that Twiggy writes are very groovy. :thumbup: Blog.
