I thought you guys might be interested in seeing this.
I'll leave my opinion aside for now, all I'll say it's that it's quite interesting how Billy clearly has a little trouble with the pinch harmonics at the beginning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFjYjXC35VU

I had it open at the time and just left it out.

I'm sure he could pull it out with a straight Jaco tone and a copicat of the original song.
Or he could go more extreme and rock it out, with more aggressivity and flashiness and it too could be awesome.
He's just in between, so it sounds like badly done fusion or shallow rock. A missed intention IMHO. |

Listen to Billys sound. Do ya think he listened to Entwistle much?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: NJ | | | don't think billy should be playing Jaco...besides the mised harmonics he missed all the licks Jaco has in there which kinda make the song...I'm not saying billy isn;t a great player but Jaco ain't for him....far as the tribute thing naaaaaaaaaa...Neil Peart from rush did a Buddy rich tribute and he sounded like Buddy Rich!!! just my 2 cents worth |

I've seen this video before. I don't think it's a terrible performance on Billy's part (but the guy on keys has a shockingly bad tone). It doesn't seem to have that loose swinging feeling of the original. Billy is a still a monster player though, and if he wanted to do the harmonic intro like Jaco did then he could. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
