The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.

I read and write classical piano and percussion, also guitar.

I do think fame can distort reality. I've always felt that.

I've always maintained that you can be sexy with your clothes on. Sexier maybe.

A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.

Shame on those artists who aren't proud of their achievements.

I've always done a bass and drum solo that lasts about 10 minutes. The main thing is to use it only when you need to.
