Kiwi Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 For any of you enjoying Lee's playalongs of Phil Collins and Genesis live, Facebook have hit him with yet another ban. You'll be aware of Lee's vitriolic hatred for Trump and who can blame him? I have lost count of how many bans he has received but this one is particularly inconvenient. Anyways his message to his followers is below. No more playalongs on FB for the time being and that's a shame. I found them fascinating. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BE3ZhJqgvcw 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cellario Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yes I’ve been following Lee’s daily videos too, and have really enjoyed them, especially his talking to camera or joke telling bits. Seems you can post ISIS beheadings but not criticise Trump. Am I right in thinking Facebook own YouTube or YouTube are owned by Facebook?

I'm not on Facebook but can people really post ISIS beheadings on Facebook? That's mental if what you've written is true. According to Wikipedia, YouTube is a subsidiary of Google and Facebook is owned by Facebook, inc. Edited April 8, 2020 by thebassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The number of racist things I’ve seen and reported on Facebook, only for them to reply that it doesn’t break their code of practice. Then he criticises Trump and gets banned, it’s stupid. He’s not alone though, I’ve seen a lot of people getting banned for similar things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yes Lee is continuing to post on Youtube now and relying on friends to post links onto his profile page. So there is a work around. Today's Easy Lover post was an interesting choon, I kept catching myself wanting to throw an extra ghost note into the riff but no, Lee plays one note and one note only. Solid as a rock. Sometimes when he reaches for those low notes he doesn't always grab the root note either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I wasn't aware of these. What a nice, down to earth guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Is it just the way it’s recorded or is he intentionally playing behind the beat? Some parts sound really out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linear Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 He has an interesting right-hand technique, only bringing his second finger into play in certain situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talks about this on his latest video, he's got one speaker and a small rig and admits it is not ideal. If he wore cans I'm sure it would be more in sync but I think he's going for the 'hunkering down homely vibe' with these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I quite often follow Lee Sklar on Facebook. He is very funny at times and his Trump rants are legendary. Always loved that tune. I think it was Nathan East on the original recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing along to an album and just listening through speakers. I'm guessing he hasn't got it turned up loud enough so he gets out of sync sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I’ve been watching Leland where he plays thru the bass lines he used on the recent Phil Collins tour But he’s put this on YouTube and he’s not pleased at being banned from Facebook Solidarity with fellow baseman Leland Edited April 10, 2020 by gareth 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I like him, he comes across as a really nice guy. I personally know people who know him in real life, and he is as he appears online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 He was doing selfies with folks at the LBGS a couple of years back, rather then just getting through them, he seemed to spend a good amount of time chatting with them too. His clinic session was lovely, an man of massive experience sharing those experiences and the stories that went with them, like a kindly grandad chatting with the kids. Top, top fella with an unsurpassed CV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I'm self banned from Facebook, never having bothered to join it in first place. Give me a week and I might work myself up enough to be not at all bothered about what I'm supposedly missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Always loved Lee Sklar. Unfortunately, the stuff he did with Phil Collins is about the bottom of the barrel of his superb career for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
