I know. I'm in denial. At least they went out strong.

Geddy Lee. I would have voted for Mike Watt, but I'm canadian.
Another great bassist left off the list: Rob Wright, nomeansno.

I couldn't possibly pick one that I like over any other. However, the last one they did, "The Argument" might be the closest thing to it if I was pushed to pick one. That record is just incredible and it was a strong note to quit on. Rocky, dude just get the new Evens records. I think Ian's new band is just awesome. Awesome. |

I'd have to pick In On The Killtaker as my favorite Fugazi album, though they are all great.

I think The Argument is my favorite. All of their albums are great though.
Skvor, I haven't heard a note of the Evens. Is it in a similar vein?

No, the Evens is really laid back... in fact it's boring.

I haven't heard the new one though, maybe it's better.

The new one is indeed much better than the first one, but I really liked the first one. I don't think it's boring at all really. In fact, I thought it was rather refreshing.

Point taken, Rocky. Sorry.
You did acknowledge them from the get-go.
And the 'No-one knows WTF they're talkin' 'bout' was definitely me joking, of course.
Still someone HAD to state that 'rock' can take a whole lotta forms...especially regarding individual musicians who might be in one band that places him into that style...but someone like Wooten and Pastorius simply broke that jazz label.
And yes, absolutely, Pastorius was a self-serving egomaniac, but you HAVE to give him his due as a player.
The past week I read one of my recently unearthed back-issues of Guitar World magazine from 1982, just after he'd been fired from Weather Report by Zawinul....and he was bitching and moaning like a little baby.
A veryvery STONED and zoned baby however.
...and then there's TonyLevinlevinlevinlevin.....

Pastorius will always probably be the greatest bass player, but jesus that ego is just such a turn off.

 They taught The Ramones everything they knew ! Who was the name of the bassist anyway ... ? Right fuckin' ON! The 2nd best band next to Lancelot Link's Evolution Revolution!!    (names for the Splits were Bingo, Freegle, Drooper and Snorky)and even tho' I had a dino-moment with Chris Squire, I'd have to chime in that it'd be cool for Watt to walk away with this....let alone the Minutemen days, Ball-Hog is such a varied blast to listen to....... And on the jazz notes, Mingus put a ton of his attitude into his playing at times.....love that man. |
