Bottomgottem Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 That's a cool video. I would have put Sting on the bass, though. My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front. If I play Tchaikovsky, I play his melodies and skip his spiritual struggle. ~Liberace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 To keep up the idea, everyone in the band should have been dead. Brian Jones on lead guitar. Berry Oakley on bass. How about a sax section with John Coltrane and Charlie Parker? Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZ Thorn Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Sheryl Crow - I've seen her play and she couldn't bass her way out of a wet paper bag. She can only play the bass like any dumbass can play the bass - slow quarter notes. Noel Gallagher on rhythm guitar? Yeesh...only in England. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny B Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hey! Don't blame England, blame Elvis - it's his band.... The bass player's job is to make the drummer sound good - Jack Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZ Thorn Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 We must never blame Elvis - our liege was a victim of cicumstances. Elvis had some awesome rhythm guitarists - I've never heard Noel play anthing half as good as the guitar on "Viva Las Vegas." Noel and Sheryl are just there for the young audience - to have somebody...not dead. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny B Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Apologies, can we blame the Colonel? If he wanted a couple more live 'uns, why not Keef and Macca then? The bass player's job is to make the drummer sound good - Jack Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred TBP Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Amazing how Sheryl changed basses in 4 seconds. Even I can't do that. Compare 0:42 with 0:47 very carefully. She does look better on bass than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I'm having a little trouble equating Sheryl with a "younger audience". My son (21) would have simply said "Cheryl who?" and my reply would have been the chick that Lance Armstrong was married to.

TimR Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 She well known over here. She had a big hit with "Every Day is a Winding road" in the late Nineties. The Demographic that Radio 2 is aiming at is 30+. They are the most listened to radio station here in the UK.

ZZ Thorn Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Cheryl's definitely younger than Moon, Elvis or the rest, excepting Gallagher. When there's hundreds of superior options to Crow and Gallagher, if you go back further in time, why else would they be there? They don't have the chops - they write some good songs (one of them does) though. She's still on Vh1 and MTV, had several hits in the past few years, so I bet more 21 year olds than not know of her. What's interesting is how few bassists there are nowadays that the average person would know. I bet most people couldn't even name 3: maybe they could name Crow (who really is known as a singer/songwriter than bassit) and two guys who are still relevant but from the '80s - Sting and Flea. We are really not popular. Or it's a dearth of talent at pop bass. Come to think of it, I can't think of many modern drummers the average person would know either. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenstrum Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Cheryl Crow on bass??? Why not Entwistle????? I agree on that butt munch from Oasis as well. He needs a punch to the taint!!!
