Free Ride (bass, jazz, albums, beatles, Nirvana)

I thought this might be fun.

There are some bands where, talented or not, everyones putting for an equal amount of effort. And then sometimes its a one man show with an entourage that just happens to get a pay check.

Discuss the band members out there who claim to fame is being in a band with someone who has actual talent.

Heres two for the Bass portion:

Micheal Anthony: Anyone who plays in a stadium should play a few more notes than those that show up in "Running with the Devil" (van halen)

Kris Noveselik (sp?): I'm sure you're fine man, but the other two own your face. (nirvana)

Add Ringo Starr! I thought Charlie Watts drumming was held in high regard in jazz circles? I know his style for the Stones is flat, but I heard that he could really kick ass when he let go?

Yeah he has toured with a few jazz musicians & has released a few albums with his own jazz band , i've never heard any of them though.

At least with Ringo they let him write & sing occasionally , I don't think Watts has ever contributed to songwriting in the 40+ years he's been in the band.

Which is a bit of a shame if he really is that highly thought of.

Octopuses Garden is better than anything Paul McCartney did post-beatles.

That fucking song makes me see red and want to cut Ringo to ribbons with a broken beer bottle, however I'm not sure I can argue with you

A thread I created got posted in beyond the day it was created. Sin away friends, hell froze over.

I'm thinking the guys other than Brad Noell in sublime? I mean nevermind talent, that band quit forever ago and they still make insane amounts of money off whatever that band can put their name on. Best retirement plan going.

Bez with the Happy Mondays. If ever there was a band jibber...he's it.
