| Because he was solid as an Ox. They also called him Thunderfingers. Guess why ?

| | | | His rig is as complex as it gets. There isn't just one effect he uses. There's an elaborate system of pre-amps, crossovers, you name it. I saw this in an issue of Bass Player after he died, just reading the progression of his live rig made my brain hurt. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Woodinville, WA | | | The camera on the end of the headstock really is awesome, but weirds me out the way it looks when it's on. He IS solid as an ox. He's Thunerfingers becuase of the way he can work the strings on the bass, and I hear that he actually can't hear that well and had to have the bass amp up so loud on stage just to hear himself that it overpowered the rest of the stage. The guy was a monster and played a WARWICK by then!
This is a great video, by the way! Amazing how relaxed he looks doing all this!

True story: drummer I played with years ago was the President of the New York chapter of the John Entwistle Fan Club (not kidding). He hosted a Meet&Greet for John at the China Club in the early 1990's and said that in the course of slightly less than 3 hours John downed 43 Remy Martin's! |
09-27-2008, 09:37 PM
| | | | Cocaine killed Entwistle, and probably explains why he could drink so much. |
09-28-2008, 01:02 PM
| | | | I would kill for his Warwick. |

Saw John live twice before he died. The best ever. No argument.
