Paul McCartney is a great songwriter but his bass playing is plain and a bit old fashioned in 2012.
Mark King is one of the best bass players i have heard, his playing is amazing, he can play some great funk lines.
Seriously, though, point me to a Beatles / Wings tune that has some good bass fret frottage and I might change my mind about The Luckiest Man Alive (Tm).
Doubt it though but you never know. :-)
Well I really like the bass line in Paperback Writer.
Drums : Cozy Powell (saw him at one his last shows before his passing what a legend)
Bass: Stu Hamm
Lead Guitar 1 : Joe Satriani
Lead Guitar 2 : Dave Mustaine
Vocals : Freddie Mercury
Loved him from the moment I first heard "Everythings Ruined"...you know the bit, after the piano when the thumping bass kicks in...
Perfection.
You seeing them at this Sonisphere doo-dah?
;-)
I've loved him since I first started playing bass and thus paying attention to basslines instead of riffs - around the time Angel Dust came out. Then I discovered the Chuck Mosely stuff and my Faith No More addiction was in full swing. :)
No, I think Sonisphere has been cancelled this year. They announced a gig at Hammersmith, tickets sold out in seconds and then appeared on eBay for 3-4 times their face value. Wasn't impressed. But then Deadpan alerted me to an extra date at Brixton, and I managed to get tickets for that instead.
Deadpan, dude, I'll make one of these tickets spare if you can get down to London - you've certainly earned it! :)

Bloody good call! I'll be seeing him in July! :-)

can't settle on a serious answer so I'm going a bit leftfield here
Posh Spice - vox
Nick Drake - guitar
Lemmy - bass
John Bonham - Drums
Frank Sidebottom - keyboards/backing vox
I'd like to hear that. probably wouldn't fork out for the album though
Would definitely be an interesting team up. As for the album might be very avant garde so will be quite amusing.
2. Lead Guitar - Yngwie Malmsteen
3. Lead Bass Guitar - Geezer Butler
4. Drums - Cozy Powell
5. Keyboards/Percussion - Don Airey
Great idea!
Faith No Mash. Awesome. :smile:

couldn't find any audio of Lemmy playing bass, probably wouldn't have made a difference anyway tbh
That is pretty spectacular. Clearly would've gone on to achieve great things had they stayed together. :grin:
I might have a go at other people's suggestions if I think I can come up with sumat.. (too much time on my hands? never)
