dewayne Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Curious to see how y'all rank Roger waters as a bass player. Yes I know it's guitarchat not bass guitarchat. Why name guitar after a fish?
ezbass Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Gets the job done, but more interested in singing than playing (Gilmour played lots of bass on the albums).
dewayne Posted January 28 Author Posted January 28 I was gonna ask if gilmour played bass on any songs. The waters stuff I like might actually be David then
dewayne Posted January 28 Author Posted January 28 Does anyone have a copy of pink Floyd pulse when they released it on VHS. Mine was borrowed never saw it again but the bass player was fantastic. Later got a DVD of pulse but it had a different bass player. The guy liked to stand with back of his heels together and squat up and down keeping time. It would have looked funny if his playing wasn't so mesmerizing.....and TONE. It matched that of gilmours guitar, not an easy task.
dewayne Posted January 28 Author Posted January 28 It was pink Floyd and I was focusing most of my attention on the bass player. Of course having killer songs didn't hurt
ezbass Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Guy has played bass for Floyd since ‘87, which means he’s served longer than Waters. He was/is on tour with Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets project (Floyd without Gilmour, doing Syd Barrett era material).
dewayne Posted January 29 Author Posted January 29 Love the scissor jack stance. Ticket price to see Floyd would have been comparable to Beatles tickets I imagine. I did get to see Clapton in the 90's. I think that's the only European act I believe I've seen. Nope ac/d was first.
