All the Who roles were shaken up from a traditional band. With his simplistic chord patterns, Pete was more of the time-keeper. With his crazy bass runs, Entwhistle was closer to the lead guitarist. And with his wild flourishes, Keith Moon was closer to a keyboardist.

I agree. Entwistle was basically a much freer, more adventurous player. More technically, Entwistle had a lot more plucking methods at his disposal; he was also more of in innovator in terms of sound. Also he participated in the design of Rotosound strings and of most of his own basses. He was more innovative than Lee.

@eroldcroft3045 Жыл бұрын
Geddy is a composite of his favorite bassists. The ox and Chris squire. By tor and the snow dog is a direct descendent of the ox on young man blues. Geddy is way more melodic in his approach. The ox is more percussive. Chris squire was a thinking man's bassist. I adore all three. I could put as a fourth Greg lake in rock realms. You start getting into jazz, forget it. Stanley Clarke, jaco. Marcus Miller..... But the ox had his signature. He did change the way a rock bass was viewed. As killer as jack Bruce is, the ox made him look like a schoolboy.

I attended a Who concert in Detroit in 1982. I had binoculars, which I kept focused on Entwistle. His hands -- right and left -- were like this *all the time,* not just for solos. That's the thing about Entwistle *live* -- he was filling in on lead when Townshend was doing rhythm. Listen to the song "Substitute" from the Live at Leeds album. Pete's guitar riff is relatively simple, which he repeats. Everything else is Entwistle on bass. His live bass work was way more than the bass lines on the studio albums.

John Alec Entwistle (Chiswick, Londres, Inglaterra, 9 de octubre de 1944-Las Vegas, Nevada, Estados Unidos, 27 de junio de 2002) fue un músico, compositor y productor británico, más conocido por su trabajo como bajista del grupo británico de Rock The Who. Fue el único miembro del grupo en tener una formación musical formal, y su sonido característico influyó a otros bajistas de Rock. Entró en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll como miembro de The Who en 1990.

Ever notice how John holds his right hand up and over the fretboard and doesn't curl his left hand fingers very much, almost keeping them straight at times? that's because when he was young he learned to play the piano. It has been often said that he plays bass like a piano, and this li'l video spotlights that style very well.

By the way, what is this "eight and a half minute bass solo" of Geddy's you refer to? Is it on KZfaq? I've seen Rush dozens of times; he's done no such solo. He used to do a sort of solo in "Driven"; a sort of solo in "Closer to the Heart"; and then there are a few brief solos in Rush's instrumentals. None of it, though I love Geddy, is anywhere near as adventurous as JAE got.
