Please do a better job of placing your topics in the proper forum. You'll get a better response and I won't have to tidy up behind you. |

His name is Fat Mike. Yeah he's cool.
>Josh Paul & Robert Trujillo
I'd say those 2 guys are funk players. They just played in Suicidal Tendencies.
Does anyone know what they are doing now? |

I don't know about Josh Paul, but Trujillo has been pretty busy. Looks like he played with Ozzy for a while (and recorded with him too). I think his most recent band is Mass Mental.... |

Oh well, that's not going to stop people from posting. I suppose I should throw Mike Watt out since he rarely every gets mentioned this early, but my personal favorite's Paddy from Dillinger Four. |

They are all great punk bassists. They all do whats needed for the music. Do you think it would fit if a punk bassist through a busy slap line in the middle of a 3 chord song. No. All of these bassists support the guitar well, while staying tight with drummer, but stay away for chugging the root note the whole song.
I suggest you open your mind rather than assumming that all punk bassists suck.  |

In every genre of music you're going to find good talented musicians AND crappy ones. Just because you personally might not like the style of music doesn't mean everyone who plays it sucks
Personally I cannot stand listening to Country, but I've heard a few bassists that made me go "Wow!", so I don't lump them all in the "suck" catagory.... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
