Angel Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I really like Dirty Loops, and this is a nice little number from Henrik Linder and drummer Aron Mellergard, both superb musicians. I know that bass 'showboating' is most definitely not everyone's thing, but I am a big fan of Henrik (when he is in song mode rather than mad jazz noodling!). He is actually the person that got me inspired/back into bass after years in the doldrums. Not that I can play anything like him of course! Anyway, here's the video: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with an open mind, I will listen to it tonight and let you know how I found it!

Personally I think that Henrik and Aron play really well together, great understanding. Part of the fun is the way they play off each other in my opinion, which you can see in the video.

wateroftyne Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I think I must be alone in that this (and the Stu Hamm thing) make me want to pour superglue into my ears. What a racket! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I had a listen... a lot better than I thought it would be, and made me smile a couple of times! Sounded like what Benny Hill would have made as a theme tune if he had the required bass chops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Could someone do me a favour and play this - or the Stu Hamm thing - as background music on a first date, and let me know how you get on? Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. That's a lovely offer WoT...I'm flattered, I really am. But y'know....there is a Mrs. Pook and she kinda gets jealous about that kind of thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Wouldn't buy the album but i did find it quite an amusing little Vid. Certainly made me laugh a few times as well. Obviously talented. With the way the bassist lovingly stares over at the drummer i think there's more than just bass and drums going on there. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
