He did not "play" the bass. He danced on it with his fingers and made the bass the ballroom floor. He kicked ASS!! BTW, he has the same birthday as me, but he was 19 years older.
John Entwistle is the best bass guitarist ever. there will never be another with his talent. if you think his playing is good on Baba o' Riley. listen to won't get fooled again isolated bass and you'll really be amazed.
You misunderstand me, John Entwistle was a self stated "bass guitarist", which in my interpretation means he used a lot of top end. Paul, Jack, and all those great bassists in that era were very skilled, but they were never bass guitarists. Jack, using fretless basses and almost funk lines didnt cross into a "lead" sound, Paul was the first to make bass lines that were melodic and time keeping,still a bassist, Jamerson used in depth and thumping bass lines, John had superior sound and technique.
@RedRicky590 you simply don't know what you are talking about. What do you mean, they weren't bass guitarists? James Jamerson was the model that all players followed, including John Entwistle (look up some of his interviews). Jack Bruce truly created the "lead bass" sound, and he didn't start to use the fretless until the 80's. You are just too enamored of Entwistle to recognize anyone else's contributions.
@shomanca Excuse me? I dont know what im talking about? You continually misunderstand at every turn! Now, before you call me ignorant, or a Entwistle fan boy, may i acknowledge a few things. I appreciate ALL talent, and i have scoured the works of almost every noteable bassist of the past sixty years. If you knew what YOU were talking about, you would know Entwistle copied riffs from actual guitarists, usually country riffs. Please dont patronize me for my own opinions and throw dirt.
@RedRicky590 I have understood everything that you have been saying - but it's just mostly ill-informed or irrelevant. Why would John Enteistle copy riffs from guitar players (country or otherwise) - couldn't he come up with his own?
@shomanca What? You think he popped out of his mother in Britian with a buzzard bass and a XXL Acoustic sound system stack? He had to make his first bass guitar with his own hands, and he had to learn how to play it. He learned how to play bass the way he does because he copied guitar riffs from many different poeple. I know what im talking about, your just riding your high horse just a tad bit too high. Lets just agree to disagree because im tired of replying.
@C4LXD quite normal. spend 6 hours a day with guitar in hand with nights sometimes and you'll understand. You wont even notice when you hold something in left hand like it was guitar neck
The "best" at anything (as well as "beauty") is, of course, subjective. As a bass player I've had many favorites; Bruce, Cassady, McCartney, etc. But Entwistle was always my favorite. He would often pluck with both sides of his fingers (front and back!) which, if you've ever tried it, is pretty damn tough. That's why he often sounded like he had 8 fingers on his right hand! Not saying he was the "best", just my favorite.
I think he is overprated as a bass player - just because he has a flashy style with exaggerated hand movements, everyone is wowed by him. If you actually listen to what he plays, it is not that special - running up and down the pentatonic scale. Other bass players from his period play much more interesting lines - Jack Bruce, John Wetton, John Paul Jones, just to name a few
@shomanca Did you even heard this bassline? Even the solo in the song is amazing. And how can you acually say that his solos are nothing special? If his solos are not good, then there are no good solos in music. If you don't like him, just don't click on the video. Every famous person has haters, you're one of them. So spare us of your comments, and watch your videos....
@wlattkouzd Let's start from the top. You are asserting that something entirely subjective is in fact objective and measurable. The moment that you can prove empirically that certain music and musicians are better, as opposed to simply evoking a particular reaction in particular people, is the moment you get to use phrases like "[adjective][musician] of the [arbitrary time period]".
Begin!
And PLEASE don't resort to "you're a hater so I don't have to respond". Entwistle is a master.
@Th1sWasATriumph Im form Croatia so english is not my stronger side when it comes about talknig/commenting. I know what are you talknig about, and maybe I was a bit to offensive to shomanca. But again, John was declared as the best bass guitar player of milenium. That means something. The other thing is that I respond to his comment...
@wlattkouzd Declared by who? Some music magazine, I'd imagine. I know a lot of people who would contest this. Clearly John is a great bassist. But jumping from that to "he is THE greatest"?
@Th1sWasATriumph I didn't said that he is the best, but I said he was declared as the best bass player. It's a little confusing, but that declaration means that he is one of the best, what you already told. ;)
@wlattkouzd Actually it DOESN'T mean he is one of the best. That, too, is an opinion, and one we happen to share, but it's still subjective. You called someone a hater and said that if he thinks the solos are not good, there are no good solos. All because he called JE overrated. Deal with it, not everyone loves the artists you love, and if someone tried to convince you that an artist THEY liked was great that you didn't care for, you wouldn't care. Because it's taste, not fact; subjective.
@wlattkouzd I never said that I didn't like him, I just said that I don't think he is the best like a lot of people think. I think he is a good player, just not the best. And just because he was voted "Bass Player of the Millenium" by the readers of Guitar Magazine doesn't mean he is.
@shomanca Just cut the crap shit talking about The Ox, he's a good bass player and nobody says he's better than Jones or Bruce, so cut the comparisonsn and learn more about him before you speak. Thank you. Goodbye.
@shomanca or think of it this way, THIS ONE SONG is made up about 10 notes altogether. not really that hard to play, listen to some other songs, like the real me, or eminence front, then say the same thing
@JakeBrownYT why would I be jealous? I came on here saying that he was overrated, and that other bass players might be more deserving of the accolades he receives
@shomanca even though those are great bassists you listed, The Ox, with help from other instruments, made him ready for the fast, innovative way he played the bass.
@shomanca i know, it just keeps getting harder to win this argument, i'm running out of things to say. (sorry if i posted this twice, i think something might have gone wrong)
@shomanca I believe the proper way to say that is John Entwistle is the best bass player in the music genre in Rock n Roll and in all aspects the father of modern bass guitar, these are proven facts. Bass amplification would not be as advanced today without his innovative designs such as splitting his high and low signals, and his custom made strings(Rotosound swing 66's)
@RedRicky590 he was an early innovator, but that doesn't make him the best bass player in Rock and Roll - you might want to think about Billy Sheehan instead.. As for being the father of modern bass guitar, you might want to ask Jack Bruce, Paul MbCartney, James Jamerson or Tim Bogert about that
I love how Entwistle calls it like it is, or at least how he feels about it....right after the last note he just drops his arm off the fretboard and then shakes his head, like "welp, that kind of sucked". Meaning of course the band's performance as a whole, especially considering they hadn't been playing together much at this point and Moon, God love him, was becoming a sad shadow of his former brilliant self.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ah, nice idea but I'm 97.5% sure that this is not genuine. I think that its the poster passing off his Entwhistle cover as the genuine article which it isn't, in my humble opinion.
@Nokkieification I'm 97.5% sure that you haven't seen 'The Kids are Alright' movie by the Who, particularly the version mentioned in the description box (which I'm 74'3% sure that you haven't read)
And I'm 110% sure that a person that cannot even spell ENTWISTLE is in no position to tell if he is hearing an ENTWISTLE cover or NOT.
@Nokkieification Why isn't it John playing? Where did you get your information? Your, "humble opinion", is complete crap. ANYONE can see that the fingering and the notes match. There is a very brief delay between finger movement on the video and sounds being heard, but the triplets, taps and light finger slaps are coming from John's fingers not "testaferro" or anyone else. Nice try making up an imaginary percentage and trying to claim you have credibility to disprove a videos integrity. Idiot!!
@jacobjohnford You're the idiot mate. If you had the courtesy to read the thread before your inane rant and ridiculous accusations, you will have seen that I had accepted that this does indeed appear to be the genuine article. Muppet!
@Nokkieification .....to confirm testaferro's post this is 100% genuine.It is one of the special features on "The Kids are Alright" DVD.Do a little research before slagging someone!
Wow. I've never heard his lines isolated before. Obviously he's enormously influential to anyone who plays bass, but this sheds so much light on his talent and ear for music. So much subtlety in his style that I never knew about. Yeah he rocked, but I never knew he was throwing in so much harmony and dissonance at the same time. Thanks for sharing this.
@Spymagicianzero This song IS great by any bassists standards but if you think THIS song has a great bass part you are in for a shock because he is'nt really even trying,there are songs that put this one in the maybe column in the Who's catalog of John's greatest basslines,he goes well beyond this song in terms of creative bass parts,this is a mere drop in the proverbial bucket of Entwistle bassline's.
This epitomizes how low key the bassist role really is... One of the sickest bassists ever, playing for one of the most popular rock n roll bands in history, and I never friggin knew about him until now. Maybe I'm just slow, but I'm thinkin I'm not alone here. It's just ridiculous how he can make two and three note phrases sound sooooo interesting...
I don't listen to The Doors, I don't listen to The Rolling Stones, I don't listen to Led Zeppelin (even though there is "Have A Cigar" on our setlist), and I don't listen to The Beatles. Only because I like Heavy Rock. But Fundamental You are right. \m/
@The1Kong First off "Have a Cigar"is a Pink Floyd song,not a Led Zeppelin song! and if you don't listen to any of the groups you mention I can only presume you don't listen to many others of the greats.Your Rock music knowledge has to be woefully deficient!
@lcphillips150 Listen, mate, I just made one mistake. I hope You dont make some. And, listen again, didn't happen anything in the last 30 years? Just being wrong by mixing up Led and Pink makes You sure about my knowledge? You are so smart! Don't try and judge other people without developing the last 35 years. This year I celebrate 35 years on stage as a rock musician. And be sure, I listen to all the music I like. Stay in Your corner. The oak does not care about the pig scrubbing on her bark.
@The1Kong I was a professional Sound Engineer for almost 20 yrs,,House Sound Engineer for Joan Jett,Prince,Weather Report and many others.You are a Professional Rock Musician.What club will you be p[aying at?

never did understand what all the fuss was over this guy. He's no better than some of the decently talented 13 or 14 year old kids here on youtube.

I agree.. he's good, but he's not amazing. His tone made up for what he couldn't play.

Ah, nice idea but I'm 97.5% sure that this is not genuine. I think that its the poster passing off his Entwhistle cover as the genuine article which it isn't, in my humble opinion.

@Nokkieification I'm 97.5% sure that you haven't seen 'The Kids are Alright' movie by the Who, particularly the version mentioned in the description box (which I'm 74'3% sure that you haven't read)
And I'm 110% sure that a person that cannot even spell ENTWISTLE is in no position to tell if he is hearing an ENTWISTLE cover or NOT.

@Nokkieification Why isn't it John playing? Where did you get your information? Your, "humble opinion", is complete crap. ANYONE can see that the fingering and the notes match. There is a very brief delay between finger movement on the video and sounds being heard, but the triplets, taps and light finger slaps are coming from John's fingers not "testaferro" or anyone else. Nice try making up an imaginary percentage and trying to claim you have credibility to disprove a videos integrity. Idiot!!

@jacobjohnford You're the idiot mate. If you had the courtesy to read the thread before your inane rant and ridiculous accusations, you will have seen that I had accepted that this does indeed appear to be the genuine article. Muppet!

@Nokkieification .....to confirm testaferro's post this is 100% genuine.It is one of the special features on "The Kids are Alright" DVD.Do a little research before slagging someone!

Wow. I've never heard his lines isolated before. Obviously he's enormously influential to anyone who plays bass, but this sheds so much light on his talent and ear for music. So much subtlety in his style that I never knew about. Yeah he rocked, but I never knew he was throwing in so much harmony and dissonance at the same time. Thanks for sharing this.

@Spymagicianzero This song IS great by any bassists standards but if you think THIS song has a great bass part you are in for a shock because he is'nt really even trying,there are songs that put this one in the maybe column in the Who's catalog of John's greatest basslines,he goes well beyond this song in terms of creative bass parts,this is a mere drop in the proverbial bucket of Entwistle bassline's.

How did you separated the bass sound? I have to do this in many songs to learn the bass. Can you explain to me?

sac1577 10 months ago
This epitomizes how low key the bassist role really is... One of the sickest bassists ever, playing for one of the most popular rock n roll bands in history, and I never friggin knew about him until now. Maybe I'm just slow, but I'm thinkin I'm not alone here. It's just ridiculous how he can make two and three note phrases sound sooooo interesting...

I don't listen to The Doors, I don't listen to The Rolling Stones, I don't listen to Led Zeppelin (even though there is "Have A Cigar" on our setlist), and I don't listen to The Beatles. Only because I like Heavy Rock. But Fundamental You are right. \m/

@The1Kong you do know "Have a Cigar" is by Pink Floyd, right?
Berenueve 9 months ago
@The1Kong First off "Have a Cigar"is a Pink Floyd song,not a Led Zeppelin song! and if you don't listen to any of the groups you mention I can only presume you don't listen to many others of the greats.Your Rock music knowledge has to be woefully deficient!
lcphillips150 8 months ago
@lcphillips150 Listen, mate, I just made one mistake. I hope You dont make some. And, listen again, didn't happen anything in the last 30 years? Just being wrong by mixing up Led and Pink makes You sure about my knowledge? You are so smart! Don't try and judge other people without developing the last 35 years. This year I celebrate 35 years on stage as a rock musician. And be sure, I listen to all the music I like. Stay in Your corner. The oak does not care about the pig scrubbing on her bark.
