No nonsense single mindedness ..... Quote
Jase Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Jeff's great...says what he thinks! I don't always agree with him, don't always agree with his playing but what a brilliant bass player! Quote

He talks like he's Paul McCartney, but outside of the fraction of a percent of people who play bass, he's a nobody. He should be bombed like his namesake. Quote

[/quote] I agree, McCartney is a stoat-faced cock of the highest order. But like it or not, he's still a pretty big deal. Unlike Jeffery Berlin who is a nobody. Quote

One is coming from one of the most successful and influential bands of all time, the other other is noodling some Jazz sh*te and wittering on about metronomes. Quote
