| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Pittsburgh, PA | | | good point about van halen. lots of straight rock stuff does. michael anthony was very precise and could play the same note fast as hell better than anyone. the album ou812 has some of the most boring basslines ever. poundcake on, er, their 1990 release. george thorogood (sp?) liked minimal notes (for a few minutes in "one bourbon one scotch one beer"). |

Speaking of Vandross anyone know who his bassist was?

Similar to "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" is The Undisputed Truth's "Smiling Faces Sometimes".

| | | | David, good call ESG. I have their early recordings on 99 and I forgot that Scroggins can do magic with just a note or two. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
