Funny how you blow your own horn about playing for 40 years yet you don't have a single video posted of you playing even though you've been on here for ten years. Hmmm, sounds like a bunch of poppycöck to me. Oh, and another thing, if you've played Townshend's work on guitar for your "accomplished guitarists" and they thought it sounded like Clapton from his Cream days, then they really need to get their hearing checked as Clapton and Townshend's playing aren't even close to one another. No go away or I shall have to taunt you a second time-a.
Yes this is Zac- as consistent as a drum machine here. But the discription of Moon/ Entwistle is accurate. Moon is my favorite drummer- I don’t see him as sloppy- his playing was emotionally volitile, but genius. I regret to say that Entwistle ( my favorite bass and all around musician)did his best work with Moon. Here he finally has the Ox Cam, the time/ space, the spotlight we always wanted for him- but his playing misses Moons groove ( I love Zac , really do- just the chemistry) zac is the best Moon Fill replacement- but not rhythm replacement
@Joel Banning Almost no bassists on earth can play this or this style, it's truly stellar. Fingers are just tearing it up and on his right hand and left hand is so easy and technical on the fretboard, it's effortless for him.
Entwistle was the ultimate bass badass because he mastered the look of "bored disdain whilst also thinking about a grocery list and what he wants to watch on the telly later on" while simultaneously slaying it playing lead and laying down a groove
If you listen without looking at the footage, it sounds like Entwistle is slapping/popping. The sound is just that powerful, punchy, frenetic, and in-your-face. Much respect and RIP.
Seems to be a lot of guys judging this man's entire body of work based on this one solo. This isn't even close to his playing in his prime. His contemporaries consistently name him as one of, if not the best rock bass guitarists to pick up the instrument.
Well, it's not like his entire body of work isn't available to the general public to bass opinions on. Just that this particular solo is probably one of his worse. And yeah, his contemporaries would say that. That's a nice thing to say but contemporaries are simply people or things from the same time period and as one of his contemporaries, imo he definitely was not the best rock bass to pick up the instrument even in his prime.

@@eagledrawing8120 ok, but I see it as Hendrix was one of the earliest innovators of guitar and Entwistle was one of the earliest innovators of the bass.

They all got big within a few years of each other so take your pick. I love Cliff, he’s so odd, perhaps he is the Frank Zappa or something like that of bass.
I have always loved John Entwistle's bass playing and he can sing. Wrote a number of Who songs that were hits. His solo album Too Late The Hero is really good. Joe Walsh on guitar and Joe Vitale on drums?! Bad ass.
My Generation still has those swift notes in the verses and especially in the bass fills that become really inspiring to create our own basslines in a groovier fashion!!!
Man, The Ox was a soloist! I love Geddy Lee but John's my favorite because half the time, he played the melody line and Pete filled. Such a unique band from the beginning to the end. RIP John and Keith. ❤️ PS can you imagine what his fingertips looked like? 😲
Add on the fact that John was not a modern bassist, but a bassist from the 60’s, his bass playing is definitely without a doubt some of the best, most innovative. There’s a reason he ranks high on the top bassists lists consistently.
I saw him around the same time in a club called The 99 Club by SeaTac airport in Seattle. He was using the same bass amp setup that he used to play The Kingdome. I'm a bassist. When we saw the stage, we stripped the filters off some cigarettes to stuff in our ears! you could feel the sound pressure waves from his playing just beating you up! Absolutely awesome!
Hell yeah. He is one of the reasons why I got so aggressive with my finger picking. Dude attacked the shit out of those strings and in turn made me do the same. One of the best influences to have up there with Geddy Lee and Cliff Burton.

That 1 escapes me, I've heard of James Burton the early rock guitars who played/w Donald "Duck" Dunn in my fav. late 60's band that featured a keys player last name of Jones, who was an absolute 💯 genius on the classic Hammond B-3 organ, much like Jon Lord of DP fame🤔🎹🎸
@@rickybarrick8070 cliff burton was an amazing bassist. He was in metallica and unfortunately passed away after being crushed by metallicas tour bus. The bus slipped on ice causing it to flip and send cliff out the window to be crushed.

And this folks is the exact reason why that even though Entwistle played bass, he was the lead guitarist and Townshend was the rhythm guitarist.
Pete said that when John passed he had to play a load of extra notes on his guitar to fill in the blanks that the bass used to occupy.
