I find that here on the Talkbass forums, people are always quick to dog someone out accuse them of "selling out" or "sucking" . Who have you regularly or recently stuck up for? I have went to bat recently for :
Gene Simmons
Billy Sheehan
Kip Winger
Adam Clayton
Michael Anthony

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Mechanicsburg, PA | | | I suppose the guy I tend to "stick up for" would be Abraham Laboriel, Sr. Not because he gets any kind of bad mouthing (frankly, it's seems it would be difficult to find fault with the man or his ability) but largely because he seldom gets the recognition he deserves.

He's a tool and a sucky musician - although quite a business man if I do say so...but seriously, one day I'll beat his a$$ when he doesn't have 400lb security guards around. |

I had mad love for Dirk in the beginning, but Kenney is a better overall musician and I think he writes his lines more appropriately to suit the band. Kinda funny how his style and Incubus' newer song writing styles go hand in hand and have contributed to Incubus' ongoing success. Imagine if Dirk Lance was still playing on any of the new records...  That band would probably be toast nowadays. |

He is a great player, and very professional. |

I like them because they're cheesy and gimmicky, but I also really, really dig the songs, Peter's playing in particular. I find it to be very tastefull.

Sting- ditto, even if you think he is too much of a precious "artiste".
Um, that is with all due respect to those that don't like either of these folks...
