Joseph,

Check out The Who - Who's Next DVD by Image Entertainment - Classic Albums. They isolate Entwistle's bass on a studio take of Won't Get Fooled Again - its unreal what that guy could do. Daltrey narrates over it and he's exclaiming away in cockney - great Who moment.



Bless You Moonie ......................

You are much loved by The Joey

Saint Sway Entwhistle, Bruce and Wyman are the upper echelon of rock bassists. All legends.

for rock bassists, I always prefer the really heavy tone guys. In addition to Ox and Bruce, a couple that werent mentioned in this thread that were HEAVY...
Allen Woody
Geezer Butler

Darryl - IMO a solid player, not as spontaneous or as groove-centric as Wyman, but always there when Keith or Ronnie are busy talking shit / having a fag. LOL!

jb Wyman by a long shot...The OX was great but not even close to the Wyman rhythm............Since Billleft, a huge void.....Daryl=nice guy, not a good fit for Stones..like Stella, they lost their grove..and yehm those 78-81 boots prove it..siomply fantastic...listen to SMU...Bill was unbeleivable..The Ox was great, but dead and gone.......lets no forget Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor-those 2 were there when this band ruled the world.............fuck U2 and the Ox!!!!

FPM C10 I will bet $1 in hard American currency that none of the people saying Bill is the best bassist ever are bass players or drummers themselves - the idea of it is so ridiculous. I can see him being your FAVORITE, but he was really run-of-the-mill, and only the fact that he was playing with one of the greatest drummers in the world ever lifted him above mediocrity.

Robbie Shakespeare IS the shit - a great player. Significantly, hardly ever mentioned without his drummer - bass players are nothing by themselves. I'm not a big Sinead O'Connor fan but I heard a cut from her new album, a Peter Tosh song with Sly & Robbie backing her up, and it sounded great.

Probably because she doesn't play bass.

Graham Maby is someone who does.
Very well.

As usual, I agree with my friend Jumacfly. I've played a Rick since 1975.
