Went searching for Rocco discussion and found few Rocco specific posts. I just found this YouTube video of him with David Garibaldi and can't stop watching it! Tightest rythym section ever - and Rocco makes playing so many groovy notes look so damn effortless!

IMHO its a better listen, and is funkier than the typical slap/pop show stuff that hijacks the rhythm away from the groove of the tune. But what do I know. Love The Prestia though!

The thing that stood out the most to me was the fact that Rocco stated "it's just a slab of wood" when discussing basses, that some people just go way to far with boutique/expensive basses. How true. go rocco

Rocco is great but holy cow Dave is unbelievable. |

My profile photo was taken at a TOP show, and the two ladies in the photo with me were at the time girlfriends with a band member and one of their sound men (one of the couples has since broken-up, and the other is still together with a 2 year-old son. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
