Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted April 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 5, 2013 Who in your most humble opinion are the most instantly recognisable guitar and bass combo, and I'm talking players here, that when playing together you just know it's them. I have a pair in mind, but I'd like to see how many other pairings we can come up with Go......! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted April 5, 2013 Members Share Posted April 5, 2013 Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee if you are talking about the overall effect of guitar and bass combined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted April 5, 2013 Members Share Posted April 5, 2013 Townshend and Entwistle, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted April 5, 2013 Members Share Posted April 5, 2013 Instantly recognizable? hmmmmmm....There are the obvious choices like Page/Jones and Townsend/Entwistle, but I'd have to say if those guys were (today) just jamming in some rehearsal room and you couldn't see them...I don't think they'd be the most recognizable.Geddy and Alex are a nice choice, but I think I can do better....Maybe Sting and Andy Summers?

Members P79Master Posted April 5, 2013 Members Share Posted April 5, 2013 +1 to Frusciante & FleaI'd also add Les Claypool & Larry LaLonde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P79Master Posted April 5, 2013 Members Share Posted April 5, 2013 The Edge & Adam Clayton also a pretty safe pick. Dave Matthews & Stefan Lessard, Tom Morello & Tim Commerford and two from the 90's era: Ben Harper & Juan Nelson and Bradley Nowell & Eric Wilson.

Members kayd_mon Posted April 5, 2013 Members Share Posted April 5, 2013 Never would have guessed that! Not to say they weren't a good combo, as everyone mentioned here is, but for recognizable playing styles? I voted Townshend and Entwistle because they both had extremely recognizable tones and styles, enough so that you probably could guess them from a blind test.

But I have to say I agree. That was the tightesd, most recognizable groove combo ever. Well done, Sean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Awe, isn't it precious how everyone in this thread is trying to sound so important and knowlegeable, keep mentioning over and over musicians, some of them relatively unknown by the masses, and keep dismissing the obvious and undisputed choices from music history, just so they might have something hip and cool to say. "Look at me! Look at me! I'm so cool, I'm so hip. I dismiss your convention and I embrace these... these (other guys) because Im so much cooler than you!" Well. All of y'all morons only sound cool to the other morons in your head. Everyone else thinks y'all is idiots.Y'all some dumb mofos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Why don't you just let people enjoy themselves in this thread, and you can go post your own thread which I'm sure will be intellectually superior in both form and content to his one. Perhaps you'll only attract those forumites who reach your very high standards, and you won't be forced to read any more ego-bolstering drivel from music fans.

Members DaveAronow Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 I am chill, mostly joking. Just busting balls. I don't say things like "yall is idiots" when I'm serious. You did see my entry of Jughead and Archie right?Still, there is always a little truth in humor.There are musicians mentioned in the thread tgat I've never even heard of before. I would expect someone so recognisable as a musician that you can tell who they are to at the very least be a household name. I guess some people are reading your question as who is the most instantly recognisable to your specific ears, whereas I would read it more as most recognisable to the masses.On a sheer volume scale, I don't really see how Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson can be beaten. So, mostly, my humor, which y'all interpreted as a rant, was mostly just an excuse for me to use the word "adorable". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
