Actually it's someone else's hair.

How do you know that? Verdine has either had a large Afro or a long perm for over forty years.

I just watched Verdine White and EWF in a live studio rehearsal of the new album, Now Then and Forever. He is playing a Nathan East signature Yamaha and his playing is rock solid.

Many of the baddest cats playing today were influenced by him.

He is/was a monster. When I first heard him back in the 70's his sense of time was unequaled. It wasn't just tight, it was like a stretched cable. It was taut. He attacked the beat. But when I go back and listen to his classic stuff now, more than his attack I am blown away by his release of a note. Staccato, legato, and every shade in between. And it really drives the band. When you listen to how long he chose to let a note ring or kill it, you realize just how good he is.

OK,I actually don't know that. You got me. I was just going with the fake bass thing and took it to the next level. Tought it was funny.You know, pretending to play bass and pretending to have super long straight hair. But really, extensions are not uncommon in the black community, right?

I guess I can take a joke, but all sorts if people get hair extensions, and long hair is common among black people too.

I'm a past middle age white guy and I would get extensions too but I don't have enough hair to extend

Man I can't believe some of the comments on this thread. Or I should say, I don't want to believe there are people so juvenile that they would so readily critique somebody's appearance, and in such a transparently bigoted way. Shameful.

Maybe its even wrong to call it juvenile behavior, since my children are more responsible and respectful than some of you folks seem to be.

 

[FilterFunk]

Let's see would I rather be Verdine White millionaire,six time Grammy Winner,producer and loved by millions? or some dude on some internet forum saying that Flea is better than I am,my teeth are too white or he's disappointed I dance too much? I'm taking option #1 the rest of you enjoy this fine discussion.

This says it all. Thank you!

Well, 99% of the audience would be more entertained by Verdine's dancing than his bass playing. His job is to entertain EW & F fans, not to please bass players.

What is this, the hangout for the Archie Bunker fan club ? Good night !

He plays like a mofo - I've always enjoyed his lines and the feel he imparts. An awful-millions lot of folks did too, given EW&F' tunes success on dancefloors.

And he can dance while he plays. And sing.

That cat Verdine he's a BAAAD mother...

they have so much fun - still do

- no sequencing back then
