He was one of those people's music you never knew you loved until it was too late.
Bass players hardly ever get attention. I was on a YouTube kick for a while watching people hear music they've never been exposed to before. They talk about the singer, guitarist and even the drummer, never the bass player. I always want to make them realize that at least 1/3 of the guitar and drums are actually the bass player, especially if there are only 3 instruments.
Someone should make bass player camo.
