As a Bass player, I have been asked what style I play or my influence's. My style? Well a little of my Bass heroes. I stole a bit of each. As many musicians do. Not really stealing but emulating.
My 3 favourite Bass players that influenced me:
1. Geddy Lee
2. Geezer Butler
3. Lemmy Kilmister.
A little of each is my style of playing.
@BillyBones
One of the loudest bands for sure🤗
@BillyBones RiP Lemmy🖤🤘🖤
love all three of those as well
my #1 is steve harris...the band I played in forever, the guitarist had never listened to maiden...one day I threw on a track, and they were like "holy shit, you really do wanna be that guy"
so I was bit more in the "blatantly ripping off" camp... 😕
@opie My late drum teacher was asked by Maiden to join them before they brought in Nico, but he turned them down to stay with his friends... then died in a car crash not long after 😢 This was him
@opie
Steve Harris is right up there as a Bass God. I love Iron Maiden.
Run to the hills is a blast to play. I had to learn that song using a pick. My fingers just could not keep that beat going.
heh...same...always played with a pick, cuz my stubby lil fingers couldn't keep up
@killagator Lemmy was a Bass legend🖤🤘🖤
Have you heard of Hawkwind? He was the Bassist until he was caught with drugs crossing into Canada.
Anyway, A Space Ritual was recored with Lemmy on Bass.
@killagator recorded....jeez
@MallyDaKatt Ok, I've got to follow you for that! Lemmy's responsible for my tinnitus 🤣
