Members Markee Posted June 10, 2005 Members Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hi everybody, I caught Kenny playing with John Eddie the other night (I highly recommend seeing them if they come your way), and was blown away by this guy I knew nothing about. Kenny has it all. Show stealing presence, chops for weeks and even sang a Johnny cash song that would make the Ole Man In Black proud. Kenny was playing an Ibanez RoadStar every which way one could imagine thru a G-K 800 and a single Hartke 4X10 aluminum coned cab and it sounded fabulous! I didn't know who he was when I walked in but I know who he is now and except for the D.B.Cooper vibe he's sporting, he's one to emulate. What a monster on Bass! Anybody got something to share about Mr. Aaronson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted June 10, 2005 Members Share Posted June 10, 2005 I saw him with H.S.A.S, (Hagar, Schon, Aaronson, Shrieve) and he rocked big time. Before that I knew that he was Billy Squire's bass player and I didn't give him too much credit. Seeing him go off with Schon, Hagar and Shrieve though completely changed my mind about him.

Members bassmaniac Posted June 10, 2005 Members Share Posted June 10, 2005 Kenny Aaronson did some great bass work for Rick Derringer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MorganBucks Posted July 7, 2005 Members Share Posted July 7, 2005 Get any of the Derringer CD"s he played on. He is one of the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nicebigstrings Posted July 7, 2005 Members Share Posted July 7, 2005 That Rick Derringer Live album (from I think 1976) is one of the hottest American rock albums from the 70s. Listened to that one big-time in highschool. In the time between Hendrix's death in '70 and Van Halen's debut in '78 this disc, along with Tommy Bolin's Private Eyes and Teaser albums, totally stand out as great American rock guitar recordings. I remember my older brother seeing Derringer open up for Aerosmith in '77. Blew them off the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members __tony__renaud Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 I've always regarded Kenny Aaronson as a fine player even before I started playing, really. He's one of those guys who simply knows how to play with style, class, and eloquence. This is rarely if ever mentioned or appreciated in this "Flea and Claypool are God" dark age we live in now. Aaronson used to be on MTV all the time back in the day. I really liked what he did with Billy Squier and I plan to revisit that stuff now. I've seen him do really great live work with Billy Idol, but I don't recall him being on any of Idol's albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
