No offense but I think Ian Curtis is on a different level from Franz...I think the closest you would Get to a modern day Ian would be Paul Banks of Interpol
@pumps8989 It's because of the sound, I think. Or a fucking fashion... haha, I don't really care. I play hte guitar but I've never played that guitars :(
I can't count the times I've said that musicians in bands look sexy, attractive, etc...but this time (seriously) I mean it. 110%. Alex Kapranos is a major turn-on.
Is that a new bass player (other than the original)? He's not playing with a lot of composure. He's out of tune, he's missing notes and rushing the tempo at times.
@traviscky2012 Sounds like the bassist made a slight mistake and took a moment to correct himself. Nothing too major, I didn't actually notice until you pointed it out! :)
That is the worst bassplayer in a popular band i've ever heard...sorry...I really like the song and the band...but I can play cleaner after 3 bottles of vine...Some have luck, some not
personally I think the bass line shouldn't be over complex unless it's a bass solo tbh It can make a song sound jumbled and too heavy. Sometimes simple can be best. btw I'm not implying that the bass isn't important or anything lol :-)
What a bad cover... guitars are out of tune, they sing really bad... but wait... are they the real band ? And yes, Bob is an amazing bass player... just listen after the bridge at 2:30 wow
I couldn't believe it when I read that Robert Hardy had learned how to play bass just less than a year before their debut album had started recording. WTH that's amazing! If He can do it, so can I. I'm getting back into bass guitar. Played it for 2 months back in 08. I think I can still do the same scales heh. This band is crazy good. They're one of my faves. This is probably my favorite song from them so far too. It's so unique in its sound.
I love that fat fender bassman type tone..so raw and nasty on rhythm..yet i just know it would have sounded even more awesome in person,,rather than going through a million solid state devices that is your pc.
You obviously haven't heard any real bass players such as Jaco Pastorius, Billy Sheehan or Pino Palladino. Sure, he's a great bass player and totaly fits the band but he is far, so far away from beeing the best bass player in the galaxy.
Lets clear something up. This is a 'jam' band, they're just up there jamming, people are gonna f- it up sometimes...it's not meant to be played to orchestra perfection and THANK GOD it isn't because the soul goes out the window at that point.
