scrumpymike Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 There's been lots of them out there - including some more obscure ones that wouldn't immediately spring to mind - like this one: The Faces - I'm Losin' You Any more for any more? I've got a few... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykesbass Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I know their bass player position seems to be a bit of a revolving door, but the double drummers and (here) Oteil Burbidge are fantastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I once watched Chad Smith and Glenn Hughes performing together at a Chad Smith drum clinic. They played, amongst other tracks, “Mistreated”. With Hughes’ incredible vocals, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that the rest of the instruments were missing from the song. A very powerful performance and a lesson in how the rhythm section can carry a song on its own. Afterward, I ended up invited back to the hotel where Glenn quizzed me on bass gear choices whilst Chad was very much the life of the party. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The one in this review is unsurpassed, apparently. 🙂 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed that! Great example of a bass player giving the song exactly what it needs - especially the way he picks up the brass vibe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Sly and Robbie, the rhythm twins, are the best for me 🙂 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson are the pinnacle, for me. I have a lot of time for Cliff WIlliams and Phil Rudd, too - simple, perhaps, but very effective. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the two together you get a great band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
