[CRONOS]

Has anyone talked to a Famous Bassist like Paul Grey or anyone.

 

[fenderhutz]

Who?

 

[CRONOS]

like Paul Grey from slipknot or Steve Harris from Iron Maiden any famous bass player.

 

[J. Crawford]

Of all the famous bassist, you choose Paul Grey? I can imagine the rants coming. Ive met Victor, talked to Bernie Bauer of Big Organ Trio online for monthes, and got an email back from Tom Morello (not a bassist).

Michael Anthony (Van Halen)
Billy Sheehan
Nathan East
and Frank Gambale. Not a bass player, but he was there too. It was a Yamaha special event in L.A.

It was a good day.

On other occasions, I've met:

Michael Manring
Victor Wooten
Bunny Brunel
Richard Bona
Jimmy Johnson
Kai Eckhardt
Rufus Reid
Benny Rietveld

I hung out with Dave Larue after a Dixie Dregs gig once. My drummer was friends with their drummer so I was in a good place to be that night.

P.S. That was a fun jam.

As far as bassists go, I've only met ICS Vortex (Dimmu Borgir) and Rex Brown (Pantera and Down).

 

[CRONOS]

sorry if you don't like Paul but dude you met Vortex and Rex Brown awesome those are to of my favorite.

 

[funkifiedsoul]

I drank with Jaco, a bunch of beer that is. (one year before he died)

When I was 16, I strummed Stanley's bass as he held it out to me from the stage.
Mark King once,....Michael Anthony once, but that was just because he was golfing with my cousin Jim Dunlop.

 

[Lowbrow]

Has anyone talked to a Famous Bassist like Paul Grey or anyone.

I met John Entwistle in a club in NY. Shook hands with the man... he wore lots of cologne.

 

[funkifiedsoul]

forgot...Alain Caron a few times,
Tony Levin a couple of times.
At my age names may still later occur to me

 

[funkifiedsoul]

funny.....I had heard about his being cologne heavy

 

[Spector_Ray]

I spoke at length to Billy Sheehan who came in to see us the day before a gig in San Antonio. Talk about the pucker factor going up to 10 when I found out he was in the house.

Rex Brown of Pantera/Down is a crazy mofo!

Steve Harris was a joy to talk to and I got to watch Iron Maiden play a round of soccer against their crew. It was pretty gnarly!

I met John Entwistle in a club in NY. Shook hands with the man... he wore lots of cologne.

Quite the opposite of Robert Plant!
