stingrayPete1977 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 He is a great player that we do not hear much about on this site? I wonder if the complications of the band with him coming and going (I did not realise he had left again until just now) has held him back as a known player in some ways? I nice example of his work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3Rdc7T98xM He can rock and slap and do gospel stuff, pop and funky, versatile player.

BrunoBass Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) I took my daughter to see them a few years ago and was impressed. He had a good tone live and was pretty tight. Some interesting on-stage acrobatics as I recall too 😊 https://youtu.be/5TT0YLSa9qw Edited August 6, 2016 by PaulGibsonBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Clearly an adequate player - never heard of the band or player before - but there are very many adequate players in the world. Perhaps the reason for not standing out in the crowd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Not too aware of them other than the odd song but 'Ain't it Fun' is a great track with a super cool bassline. Someone did a great cover on YouTube which is the only reason I've heard it... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dgAQZ9KZfdw Edit, no idea if that bass part was written by this guy?!

stingrayPete1977 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yes it would be, I'm surprised you've never heard of Paramore Hazbeen they've done some good songs with great basslines, she can belt a tune out too. I've never seen them live but the clips I've seen look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Their lead vocalist and front person is very good. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I suspect that because they are a very young group and this is quite an old averaged crowd. They certainly weren't taken very seriously to start as they were very much a teeny group and looked down on for that. I think they have always been good, and getting better in quite a lot of ways. Having said that, I have known about them for a long time but never knew what the bass players name was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue [/quote] Oh yes, she is in the charts as a guest vocalist for another artist at the moment I think too. She can belt it out and get the crowd going!

mike257 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The step daughters are both fans so I've seen them live a bunch of times and they've always been fantastic. Good musicianship, energetic performance and songs stacked with hooks. Don't forsee much of a future for them though. With only two full time band members left, I think it's "inevitable solo career" time for Hayley Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) I would like to see them live, she will have a good future no doubt about it, I think a hookup with Charlotte Hatherley (from Ash, plays guitar for KT Tunstall) would make a interesting collaboration.

[/quote] From what I gather, the band being treated as a Hayley Williams solo career by both herself and Label/representatives is the main reason for most of them leaving, could be wrong though of course. Still, I really like their first couple of albums, not heard much of there more recent stuff. Saw them at reading a few years back and they were okay 😬 'Fences' is a personal favourite with a really nice walking style bass line 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 There can't be many bands where the singer is signed to a different label, she was 13 or similar when she got signed wasn't she? That would have created a 'backing band' feel from the off wouldn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
