Don't know much about this guy or the band but I'm defently intrested in those hiwatt heads he uses.
What recording can I listen to where his playing/sound is well featured? |

Berryman is not a flash player, in fact the entire band all work together more for the benefit of the song rather than for any kind of technical dazzle.
X&Y, their latest album is very polished, with a definite nod toward the current US market for technically clean and quantised production.

| | | | from what i've heard so far from Coldplay, he's a real solid player..just stays in the pocket and doesn't really impress but gets the job done.

And everyone's right, imo, he's a solid play-for-the-song player |

I recall his tone having a good little growl with his p-bass on that show. Sounded very natural and woody at times.
Right on for him being in the pocket w/ the band. Funny how much radio Coldplay gets for having a "boring" bassist.

| | | | The Bassists that do enough are usually the ones that do well. The Bassists that do too much are usually the ones who don't...Guy hits the nail on the head with his playing...I really love his sound as well.

i do like his tone when he's playing fingerstyle, but his picking tone just doesn't do it for me

Young people nowdays know how to use the internet to get what they want for free... and that usually doesnt add to the band's bottom line.
Look at dave mathews band, they appeal to anyone between the ages of 20-50... they own their own island now and charter people there to preform live shows... they are doing pretty well. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
