I think MA is told to keep it simple so Edward can be the star. I think he could surprise us all with how could he could be.

Entwistle was great, but I like John Paul Jones better. Jonesy seemed to be able to stay in the groove a lot better.

Can't forget about Jack Bruce either....

Now is bassplayer's chance to show us the brilliance he's been hiding behind. VH isn't in the studio. There's no tour. Think of it, what close to 30 years of pent up creativity waiting to ooze out and dazzle us!




NOT!




Bassplayer is the luckiest stooge out of a womb and he knows it!

Those are my idols on bass. Those are THE show stoppers. The real deals. Guys that can write music and stand on their own 2 feet. Innovators. Not open string thumpers. Those guys have forgot more on bass playing than bassplayer has ever learned in his entire LIFE!

It'll always be Entwistle for me, he played that Bass SO well, it inspired me, and now i'm a bass player and have been for four years. I love the man.

[Jack68]

Amen to that.

[tydhurst]

Maybe it's a thing that People with George Harrison as their Avatar have with John Entwistle. He's the man!

Entistle is brilliant and my favorite bass player ever. His bass run on the chorus of WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN alone should get him awards. And also, I love his songs. SUCCESS STORY, TRICK OF THE LIGHT, MY WIFE, YOU, HEAVEN AND HELL, 905...tons more.

There's a great feature on the "Kids are alright" DVD where you can isolate his Bass playing on that song and just listen to him play!

Yup! I love that disc. That Entwistle cam/bass-only mix is my favorite extra feature ever on a DVD. I love listening to him play that song!

I watched that fucking thing over and over again! The Baba O Riley bit wasn't as good because it's not that good a song, but won't get fooled again was just stunning, made me practice like fuck!
