CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted November 15, 2007 CMS Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 That sentence hurt my brain (didn't even realise we had that emoticon ) Did it hurt as much to read when grankor first wrote it? I know it hurt to write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rob Martinez Posted November 15, 2007 Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 I'm OK with the top five, but Jamerson should be higher, and for me Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick. GREAT player and inventor of the 12 string bass. I know, I know, many will disagree, but a list is just someone's opinion anyway. Jaco is a great, but I don't listen. But is a HUGE influence, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tim in WV Posted November 15, 2007 Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 Seriously - go take a listen to "I'm gonna make you love me" (Supremes) and figure out how much of a genius JJ was. the drop scale at the end of each different vocalists ( Wilson, Ross, Birdsong ) first verse IS the song. Nobody wrote that for him. He played it on the fly. the pressure cooker conditions that made him so good (20+ hour sessions at Motown over a dozen+ years) dont exist anymore. it's not likely we'll see the likes of a player like that again.
