    I wouldn't have gotten a bass guitar if it weren't for Simon Gallup. What makes his style so special is that it's NOT complex...but it sounds perfect. His riffs are very catchy. He is extremely talented and could easily play more complex stuff if he wanted to. Instead, he chooses to play riffs that are wonderfully infectious. Hats off to Mr. Gallup. A true legend.

  • @HarryFlashmanVC

    He's a hugely underrated bassist. I'm a bass player having taken it up in my mid 40s after playing the most melodic of all instruments, the violin, for 40 years. Arthritis killed the fiddle for me so I picked up the bass. It is easy to conflate fancy finger work with excellent bass playing and all too often melodic jazz bassists are seen as the 'pinnacle'.. and yes, they are impressive. I speak from some authority here because if you want fancy fingerwork, Vivaldi wrote the book 300 years ago. No, the biggest single challenge and an extraordinarily difficult thing to do well is what classical players call the bass continuo.. the use of the bass to set the groove and stick to it with the accuracy and consistency of a metronome. This is extraordinarily difficult to do well and takes a lot of dedicated practice, as any instrumental skill does. Gallup is all the more extraordinarily because of his extremely physical playing style. I have a 1 year old cocker spaniel and if she was a bass player, she would be Simon Gallup. Last night I watched the Cure live at the Areana in Leeds. Gallup not only plays the bass off his ankles but scampers around the stage like a spaniel, interacting with the other band members, the crowd etc, a bit like Flea does. However, whilst he is doing that he is this human metronome. The Cure, like all great bands, has an incredibly tight rhythm section and Gallup is at the heart of it.

    I like how you give props to *Robert* and his style of composing songs as a reason why *Simon's* somewhat simplistic bass lines stand out so much....
    However, beyond the truthful realization that he does use a lot of pedals with his bass playing, some of his bass parts are pretty intricate, and actually drive the songs to where they may have not been without!!

    @g.sferrazza10-13 Před 11 měsíci +6

    The reason for people describing the bass as melodic is because of the heavy use of the Fender Bass VI in the band. They use the Bass VI as a lead instrument, playing what would traditionally be guitar parts, for both rhythm and lead. So you have 2 Basses in many songs. If you watch the video for Primary you realize both Robert and Simon are playing P-Basses and guitar is simply sprinkled in certain points to highlight the mid to high notes... Fast forward to Show in 1992 and you see Robert VI in hand doing both parts

    Cool video here. If there's a bass video on Simon Gallup, then another cool and *_SERIOUSLY_* overlooked bass player that deserves a video too is Steven Severin of Siouxsie & The Banshees.
    Especially since, The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees and The Glove are all sister bands. In many ways, Severin and Gallup share many similarities and in many ways, they don't.

Eppure io, che pure ho sentito poco dei Cure, lo reputo uno da cui ci sia MOLTO da imparare quanto a stile di composizione e di accompagnamento, suono e groove. Io l'ho scoperto sulla colonna sonora del film Il Corvo, la canzone è Burn: beh, c'è un riff di basso tribale, con un suono "rugginoso", che per me sono bellissimi. Ogni bassista dovrebbe studiarlo a fondo, perché è davvero bravissimo e grazie a questo ha segnato un'epoca. Uno dei miei preferiti.

      He also mentions the "simplicity" of the drum parts and how they don't use cymbals or toms, yet there are plenty of songs that have a heavy use of toms on Pornography and Disintegration, but almost of the songs covered seemed to be singles, no? And there are cymbals EVERYWHERE. Plenty of splash and crash and chinas, especailly once you get into the Andy Anderson, Boris Williams, and Jason Cooper years. Even Lol used splashes on songs, and toms on Pornography. Holy Hour was one of the rare album tracks in there. And to say they are not more melodic than Ramones songs, and then to play Lovesong as an example later is hilarious. I'd love to hear the bassline of Sinking or Screw on a Ramones song.

  • @AnnaLaug
    @AnnaLaug Před měsícem

    I really liked this video. The aeolian & using the 2nd are great info. But to say the drums are simple hasn’t listened to Kiss Me. No Toms? Or Cymbals? Yes their snare & kick game is strong but there is a lot happening. The Cure started using professional drummer’s on Head On The Door 1985. Odd time signatures, Cure Drummer’s use two hi-hats. One to pedal accents and one to play the hi-hat more traditionally. The reason this is essential is there are often so many crashes happening the pedal hi-hat keeps beat & time until it settles into the groove. And listen to Icing Sugar on Kiss Me. Not to mention all the essential samples being triggered by the drummer while they play their drum part. In fact a lot of the musicians pull double duty live in the cure. It’s a huge sound and 45 years of music. Great info provided, just no misinformation to support solid bass observations. Thanks

    Ah this is just another brilliant video. I just love this series you are doing and appreciate all the work that you put into them. Some day I hope you will cover a bassist from my hometown, Adam Clayton, that would be absolutely amazing. Thanks so much for this series 🎸

    Thank you for your videos. I would like to ask one more time to make an analysis video of Eddie Jackson from Queensryche. He is one of the best yet underrated rock bass players from my point of view.

    Awesome video! I was wondering about the delay, my ears can't pick it out when I'm listening through their album but I know he uses it, can you or someone give a good example of a song where he is using it?

    When I think about it...kinda like R.E.M....lots of arpeggios and plenty of room for the bass. Mike Mills plays some very cool, kinda simple bass lines. Great vid by the way 🙂

    Very simple he says. Yet. Names 8 techniques and unique to only the Cure and Simon Gallup and Robert Smith.

    Don`t forget, that in many cure songs two basses are used. Robert Smith often plays a bass VI.

    • @eboethrasher
      @eboethrasher Před 3 lety +1

      Yes but it is never used as a bass truly, it is used strictly as a melodic instrument, that very rarely goes lower on the neck and can be played on a guitar 98% of the time but gets the tone from being on the bass vi. I mean if we want to say Hooky is playing bass all the time, then eh. But then again, Hook tends to still play most of it on a 4 string, the 6 string Shergold only comes out for a select number of songs compared to Robert's constant use of the VI.

      @frankovielkrach Před 3 lety +1

      @@eboethrasher Yes, Telecasters can do an amazing "bass vi-like" job with a bit thicker strings, played on lower neck position, clean with the right effects and the neck pickup.

    Ottimo video, complimenti! Sugli effetti però nelle ultime uscite (intorno al 2019) i pedali sono cambiati. Da sinistra a destra: SYB5 - BF3 - DD3 - CEB3 - ODB3 - TU2

    I should add this one VIII : you have to walk or run all along the stage if you really want to sound like Simon Gallup.

    Wow how did i miss this vid for 6 whole days!?!?
    I learned to play bass circa 1996 to two bands, The Cure and Green Day. You have now covered the bassists who i got my early habits from and that i can still hear in my basslines. The Cure is my fav band of all time too. I picked up the bass because i was using my brother's guitar to play cure basslines... Also his live tone from 1989 to 1993 was killer.
    I have to say i learned late that SOME of the cool Cure basslines were written by Smith and not Galllup. For example most of the basslines on HOTD, Like Close to me, is a Smith bassline.
