acidbass Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah I love playing the bassline in I'm A Believer - it's probably my favourite song out of my band's set! Busy but melodic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah they had some great people on their records. I did have a laff recently though with the campaign to get the Monkees into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Sign here if you want to help three actors and a fairly good guitarist miming to covers to devalue the sacred portals [url="http://www.petitiononline.com/Kretch07/petition.html"]http://www.petitiononline.com/Kretch07/petition.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that Larry "the mole" Taylor from Canned Heat played on some tracks but didn`t realise he played on that many tracks. Intresting info WOT.

Kirky Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I know Larry Taylor's work with Tom Waits. Didn't realise he was with Canned Heat. Great player. Monkees had the of session guys on their records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I thought it was all Carol Kaye and Joe Osbourne. interesting stuff. What's really interesting is how much they actually did themselves, especially Peter Tork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reminder. I remember seeing him live at the time. Knew the name rang a bell. I have a Mayall track somewhere with Larry Taylor and another bass player doing a duel/duet ..

EG Rio Nice bass line. I thought Micky and Davy were good singers for the Monkees stuff but hardly Hall of Fame material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that in the early days of MTV, on a night when I was ... erm ... using the music for flight (if you get my drift) and I damned near wet myself laughing. Course, I was younger then.
