@larsman controversial no doubt

Family man came first and showed the way. Robbie Shakespeare  and Flabba Holt took it onto the next level.

Robbie Shakespeare has more snap to his basslines, Flabba more groove.

Robbie walks, Flabba rolls.

I admire and respect Robbie Shakespeare. But i love Flabba Holt

Robbie's tight and rhythmic style matches and underpins the 80's classic

Private lives by Grace Jones

 

And keeps it tight in roots style. But always driving forward

 

 

But Flabba lets it all hang out

 

 

 

Nikki Monninger of Silversun Pickups can absolutely run/play circles around Micheal Anthony. Geddy Lee of course plus John Paul Jones, both were also keyboardists coincidentally, and Cliff Burton who was absolutely a stellar bassist before his tragic death.

 

@gavman + 1  One of the most amazing shows I ever saw was Sly & Robbie and their dub/roots band play a set over 3 hours long here in San Francisco about 10 years or so ago. Reggae is great, yeah??!!
