Like a few others I know, I'm a Black Crowes superfan. I can never get enough of the Crowes. I want to know what everyone else thinks of the few bassists they have had. I personally think that they are great bassists, I know the last one played with Gov't Mule on their last tour. What do you all think?

I saw Gov't Mule last April w/ both Audley Freed on Guitar and Andy Hess on Bass played part of the shows. Jason Newstead was the other guest bassist. My thoughts? Well, neither was Captain Al! But both did acceptable jobs. Neither really distinguished themselves by their playing but maybe that's understandable playing someone else's material. Jason was a much more animated player onstage so was slightly more entertaining, but my eyes were glued on Warren Haynes most of the time anyways.
I've seen Jonny Colt, he plays in Atlanta with a band called Asphalt Blaster...straight outta the Motorhead school...he is a pretty good performer. The music didn't call for anything other than supportive bass, wasnt paying a whole lot of attention.
I saw Greg Rzab w/the Mule...I think he used to play w/the Crowes...George Porter was the other guest bassist, and I was much more impressed with his groove than Greg's...Greg's sound was a little thin and he played a little on top.
