Its there in black and white today in my local fishwrapper - the story of Phil Spector. And a few paragraphs down the story mentions the wrecking crew; Hal Blaine, Leon Russell, hell it even mentions Sono Bono.
But there is no mention of a bass player in the wrecking crew. Why am I not surprized? |

Did you just say bollock burger?
Oh, and I'm always glad that we don't get respect from a lot of people. My ego doesn't need any more inflating  . If it did, I would play guitar. Or kazoo (you'd be surprised  ).

I get much respect as a bassist, in fact most(if not) all the instrumentalists at my school look up to me. Yes my ego is huge.... | Same here.
Without the huge ego...heh. (right....) Quote: Originally posted by Sedge

I finally find a SoCal bassist my same age that has an ego as big as mine! hehe,, actually I hope I dont have much of an ego, so; you are a great bassplayer, I aspire to know 1/10 as much as you do by the end of my lifetime! I will never know true bassplaying nirvana until you have taught me the steps to true enlightenment.
On a side note,, we ought to check each others projects out eh?

MAKING PLANS FOR NIGEL!!! thats it! yeah....I used to jam on that with some friends and I would play that kazoo line | I LOVE THAT SONG!!! by XTC. on rhinoplasty they cover "scissor man" by xtc also. xtc rules! (the band, guys; the band!)

the only respect i really need is from fellow bassists. because they know what they're talking about when they say "hey, you're pretty good, man. how long ya been playin?"
just that once or twice a year's all the respect i need.

This once again comes back to the "who can slap the fastest" mentality. So now that I am experiementing with noise, I write music that people don't like... so they agree with me now on the fact that I suck.  But in my spare time, I occasionally mess around with that "good sounding" stuff.
