Fishbone's "Bonin' in the Boneyard" on bass - LRRG video free download
I originally did not want to do this tune...too hard. However, my wife requested this tune a few times, and naturally (because I am a properly domesticated male), I obliged her.
This tune is insane...that is all I have to say. What I play is simply an approximation because there is an impossible array interesting stuff going on in the tune that I do not even want to touch.
The solo in the middle is improvised, obviously. I'm sure some REAL rock god will come along and play it how it is written, but for now, enjoy my suffering.
(yes, I know its slightly out of frame, but I didn't want to have to do this twice.)

Very nice! That's one of the baddest bass lines ever, and I've heard a lot of them. I would be willing to bet even Norwood was impressed with what he did on this, and I also bet that even he has a hard time pulling this off live. Like you, he probably plays an approximation of the really difficult parts. The fact that it still sounds great is way more important than it being perfect. In fact, the best musicians can make it sound different with every run through, yet still get the point across and drop jaws when necessary. I believe you've accomplished that here!10 years ago

I often come back here to see how great a Ricky can really sound in the hands of a master. That bit at 4:15 still sends shivers .. You're sadly missed Rob11 years ago
