Trane, Bird...

I'm listening more to horn players than bassists these days...

I have a live cd with him from Munich. One of the last concerts before his death I believe. Actually my dad owns it :lol: But it'smore or less mine hahaha. Anyway, when he plays that pop song "Time after Time" by... damn slipped my mind... Anyway, I was touched to tears. Probably THE most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Now that's playing with your heart and soul.

Nobody has mentioned who patented the technique of slap? Larry Graham! I think it deserves an important place in the history of music!

You will hear slap bass on recordings made before LG was born.

scene:cartman is trying to make a fake christian rock band so they can make money.
cartman:clyde! get your bass and meet me at my house!
clyde:but i don't have a bass...
cartman:clyde...you're black...of course you have a bass!
few minutes later at cartman's house
clyde:wow, i do have a bass...
cartman:now lay down a smooth bass line...
clyde:but i don't know how to play bass...
cartman:clyde, goddamnit! you're black! of course you can play bass!
clyde: (Starts playing) ...goddamnit .......
lol yeah it is indeed a south park referance.

Don't worry, I know really who was Martin Luther King before and I even have one of his speechs where he countlessly says ''I Have a dream today...''

I find it very inspirational and I'm amazed on how good this guy was to unite all these people using peace and only his voice.

Just don't judge too fast golem :wink:

If we can assume that the SouthPark reference is universally understood without need to explain and quote the scripts, then OK, everybody realizes that you are only ridiculing racism and not promoting it.

However, here online are folks of all generations, and from worldwide locations and cultures. Perhaps I judged too fast, and perhaps you posted from too limited a perspective.

Group hug ??

There is one post up above, hugely inappropriate, that I anticipate will be deleted by the author when he grows up.

what? the reason i asked is i have to write a paper! the only reason i like the jaco paper is because i wrote a paper about him a few years ago for a middle school project...so all i would need to do is rewrite the paper so it's relevant for this paper...

Andrew, I had already posted some suggestions for you, names of bassists ... why would I bother to do so if i thought your basic request was "inapproriate" ? However, I can see where my reference to the "author" and "when he grows up" might have left you feeling I meant you. Nope.

However, about your choosing to update and recycle an old paper that you wrote a while ago: If you were intending a career in literature, that would be a bad habit. However, for a career in writing tunes, it shows a perfect grasp of how the tune writing biz really works. Rock on !!

Wait! Before we close this, I MUSt point out that it was, in fact, Token who had the bass in his basement and joined 'Faith +1', Cartman's Christian rock band.

As seems fitting, Token is the only black South Park Kid (Token Black - you dig?), Clyde is actually white.

Ridiculing racism seems about the only good thing to do with it.

NOW, group hug :D

Well, last time I checked Geddy Lee was canadian, and yeah, Lemmy is as working class brit as you can get!
 
Close enough. It's just some added French blood.

But yeah you're right about Lemmy. That's probably why he's such a legend.
