G&L Club Part 7

[TDR1138]

And Adam Clayton because he gets zero love from the world. U2's ambient guitar work would've been left in the dust without his basslines. U2 is the one band where the songs are recognized for their basslines, not the guitar riff! New Years Day... and 20 other hits. Not complicated, but he new what he was doing and he played that often boring stuff with impeccable timing and stamina.

I think Achtung Baby and Zooropa are two phenomenally underrated albums for their drum-and-bass hooks (not referencing the genre, just the grooves that those two instruments create). Definitely albums I can get lost in...

As an aside, do yourself a favor and go download Ignaurus by Into Another. One of my favorite albums to listen to the bass playing on.

I'm glad that you dig the rhythm section of U2 as well. I'll check out Ignaurus tonight.

This reminds me of the time I made rabbit chili for the annual work chili cook-off. Everyone loved it until the one lady asked me why there was a picture of Thumper on the list of ingredients but no meat was mentioned. The amount of dry heaving that ensued was amazing.

Thumper makes a fine meal especially with home-grown "sweet" peppers. Holy Habarnero Hell Batman.

That's a bad one. Rehearsed it the other night in my covers band and spent the whole next day with it!

I've learned nearly 80% of U2's catalog, and so far "Gloria" tends to be my favorite and the most fun. Check it out.

My Mom always said that too much plekking made you go blind.

Haha, young Bono was so goofy.

Will have to check it out on proper speakers later.

It has a few cool bass hooks in it... and yeah... Adam Clayton had not yet become artsy cool

 

[armyadarkness]

For whatever its worth, "Even Better than the Real Thing" and "Until the End of the World" off Achtung Baby are also groovy basslines
