Gord -B Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Scott Thunes was one of the first bass players that really got it across to me that its all right to use a pick. This was by watching him on the 'Does Humour Belong in Music?' DVD Patrick O Hearn isn't too shabby on baby snakes either. Derek Smalls: It's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water. http://www.myspace.com/gordonbache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Capasso Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 No question that the Low Downers are a big choice. I've gone out of my way at times to meet some of you (and some of you have gone out of your way to meet me). Always a warm and fine experience. dcr - my mother-in-law makes the best pesto I've ever had, so when I come, I'll bring some. Wilburn - you are a lucking man. Somebody like Wille should have smacked you for "Let It Beans". I'm just sorry I didn't think of it. What was this thread about? Oh yeah. McCartney would be first choice, but Tim Bogert, Bruce Thomas, Graham Maby, and Robert Sledge would be close runner-ups (and I'm probably missing some folks).

notneb Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Why will none of you let Lemmy into your house? My wife has played many a game of Ms.Pac-Man with the man and he is, as she puts it, the man. He may not be the greatest player, and he's certainly not the best singer, but he seems like the best party of the living. Maybe it's just because I'm a cook, but the vulgarity is mild for my world and the consumption levels are basically normal. My dinner parties are orgies of glutinous consumption, and I think Lemmie would fit right in whether I was serving foix gras and roast duckling or black pudding and sausages, sushi or pulled pork sandwiches. At the very least I know that he could be counted on to pick up the bone and chew off the meat. My appologies to the vegetarians in the bunch, I respect your decision, just don't ask me to cook for you. I don't go to a vegetarian restaurant and ask for a meat plate, don't come to mine and ask for a veg-plate. I'm sorry, I stop now, no cook now, bass player.

Steve Force Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Another Bassist I would like to meet is Graham Maby (Joe Jackson Band, Marshall Crenshaw, Joan Beaz, They Might Be Giants, others). I really like his tight, melodic, tasteful bass lines. Must be a good chap--even Scott Thunes has nice things to say about Graham!

My first choice would be more lowdowners. Maybe I'll actually make it to a college reunion in Providence and get to hang w/ tnb (and slyly make off w/ his WW ). I've shared a meal w/ Wally, Whappo, and Jeremy. I've also broken bread w/ Capasso, wraub, music-man, Mr. Phil, and getz76. I need to get my hands on some of Whappo's homemade ice cream. I think I would very much enjoy having Richard Bona over for dinner. He might be at the top of my list. Marcus Miller would be up there too, and John Paul Jones as well. So many, really.

Rik Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I just remembered that I have eaten with original Tool bassist Paul D'Amour back when we were both in high school. I didn't really know him then, though. The sharpest memory of him was when we were at a church youth group function and he was wearing shorts - and my sister said, "I wish I had legs as nice as his." And I used to have the hots for his sister... I have eaten with his parents a number of times - we still attend the same church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
