casapete Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Friend of mine sent me this - thought it was a spoof at first, but not so sure now. Anyone else seen it? Bobby Kimball, formerly of Toto. Was never a fan of the song, but this takes it to a new level! Bass player's face says it all I think.

casapete Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Apparently he sang the choruses on the original recording, with David Paich handling the verses. So you would think the choruses at least would be okay?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was preparing himself for his own, comical, Bass drivel routine at 04:20 onwards. Edited May 22, 2018 by lowdown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicbassman Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 At 1.45, bass player has to turn round and stare at the ground due to sheer embarassment. I know that feeling, experienced it myself, when you just absolutely can't believe what you're hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I didn't get that far, but having listened again.....it's still better than the vocal. I possibly overstated my enthusiasm in light of the horrendous performance from Mr Kimball, I'd like to substitute my superlative for 'fantastic', although concede he's not a great soloist compared to many. But in all seriousness, when did we start judging bassists on their ability to solo? You heard Rocco Prestia 'solo'? No-one would argue that he's not incredible Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, although I'm assuming someone called that solo, rather than Norm just choosing to rinse the ending of the song. Who know's though, if the former, you tend to do what your boss says.

That's what I thought when I first saw it TBH. My mate who sent it said there are others on YouTube nearly as bad though, so am guessing it's for real.
