Not saying Mr Mounfield is fantastically gifted, but I have always loved hs Stone Roses sound.

witterth Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) [quote name='dumelow' post='871596' date='Jun 19 2010, 10:58 AM']first off, cant believe some idiot on the other page was bad mouthing bootsy collins as a bass player.. anyways for me (and this is citing some of the people thats influenced me right from the days of first picking up a bass) Chris Wolstenholme Flea Bootsy Collins Les Claypool John Paul Jones Juan Alderate Tim Commerford Geezer Butler Bass player for Toots & the Maytals (only just realised i dont know the guys name) I dont think theyre the greatest, just had the greatest influence on the way that I play, but when it boils down to it, i listen to far much more music than this list suggests and i believe everything influences you, even the stuff you dont like influences you[/quote] oops, sorry that "idiot" was me!! (& apologies for any offence on that booty call) Still not "avin" Mani, though, just average at best, groove hard? naa..... shorthand for shortcuts and too,too simple but its only what I reckon ( Its a small club probably,though I think I'm pointing at the elephant in the room) and if its about what we think/influence,Gary Mountfield has been an influence..... VIZ..not to be anything like him I suppose. sorry, young men ( & marvin!!! ) W Edited June 20, 2010 by witterth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE3Dsk2YGwE"]Green Day - Longview[/url] I like loads of styles and bands. But the one reason I picked up a bass was due to this guy: Mike Dirnt of Green Day. Edited June 20, 2010 by Anvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
