[/quote] Saying you don't recognize one of the world's top bass player as a bass player is either trolling or straight up ignorance . If you can't feel Paul or recognize him as a bass player, you really should consider dropping bass and trying another instrument. Just my honest opinion. Blue Edited December 8, 2015 by blue Quote

I said I was nearer 60 than 17... so even with not enough fingers to count with you must be able to work out you'd start with 20 yrs on that figure. Quote

GarethFlatlands Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I'm of the view you might as well listen to work by someone considered as one of the greats. Even if you don't like the music, there's something you'll be able to take from it. I'll sit down and learn some of his stuff when I get some free time. Quote

And remember, the OP doesn't recognize McCartney as a bass player. Blue Quote

sunburstjazz1967 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I'll bet I have favourite players you dont like Blue, in which case would you knock bass playing on the head? Quote
colgraff Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Where do we put Les Claypool in the pantheon? Personally his music is too OTT for my liking but I acknowledge his brilliance. Quote
skankdelvar Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Sickened by the tsunami of socialist bleating which permeated the forum during 2015 I withdrew from regular comment here to devote myself to a project long in abeyance, namely my authorised biography of Sir Paul McCartney which will be be published next year under the imprint of Messrs Random House and entitled 'Mr PM: Prepare To Meet Your Macca'. My book required a series of interviews with Sir Paul, some conducted as long ago as 1967. A more recent session conducted at Sir Paul's luxurious yet unpretentious home elicited the following nugget which - though likely to be omitted from the published version - may serve to throw light upon the subject's opinion of himself while - perhaps - dousing the flames of controversy which have sprung as if bidden by an incorporeal malign agency between two members I am proud to call my friends: [i][b]Author:[/b] If I may be so bold, Sir Paul; do you recognise yourself primarily as a bass player or as a composer?[/i] [i][b]Macca:[/b] Good question, la, good question. A birra berth, laik. [/i] [i][b]Author:[/b] Charming... utterly charming.[/i] [i][b]Macca:[/b] Though, sum days, I doan rekkernise meself in the mirrer, laik.[/i] [i][b]Author:[/b] Pray elucidate.[/i] [i][b]Macca:[/b] Weerl, its the jet-black hair dye, laik. And the eye tucks and the other thing the plastic serjin did that pulls the old 'turkey neck' up and back. [/i] [i][b]Author:[/b] Intriguing.[/i] [i][b]Macca:[/b] Yer kno, I luke in the mirrer laik an' I think - who's dat lukin' back at me? Is it George, laik? Trying to get through from the other side? With a message?[/i] [i][b]Author:[/b] Indeed?[/i] [i][b]Macca:[/b] Then I rekkernise meself and - phew - it's OK again. D'yer like Tofu?[/i] [i][b]Author:[/b] You mention George...[/i] [i][b]Macca:[/b] Yeah, George was a better bass player than me. They say I'm the best bassist in the werld, laik. Y'know, I wasn't even the best bass player in the Beatles.[/i] Happy Christmas and see you all next year. [color=#ffffff].[/color] Edited December 9, 2015 by skankdelvar Quote
