It would be very nice if you made a video about Jean-Jacques Burnel ("The Stranglers"). I think he's one of the best bass players of British '77 punk and new wave.
Learning how to play bass from listening to reggae, as Simonon did, is _never_ a bad thing. I wish more bands today listened to reggae and drew from it.
Very Underated Paul he said in an interview that he messed up alot when playing live but he just enjoyed playing can we have Klaus Fluoride The Dead Kennedys Next Please 👌👍✌️
This is by far the best analysis of Simonon's bass playing. You have to be a good musician to be able to analyze other people's music in such thorough manner. Thanks!
respectful of Simonons contribution despite his limited abilities on the instrument - An example of mixing musicians with non musicians and making it work - my experience of this on a mundane level is that 9 out of 10 cases this is not a strategy that usually bares fruit, but in the case of Clash, Sex Pistols and surprisingly Souisiox and the Banshees (most of which were non musicians at the start) It obviously did
The mastermind behind the riff that appears in every American movie when the setting is in London Edit: Geez this is just a joke about the stereotype attributed to London calling. Like don’t start a war over it
What? I’ve watched a lot of movies, lots of them set in London and I don’t recall ever hearing London Calling in any of them. Or the Clash period for that matter. They’re more known for Rock The Casbah and Should I Stay Or Should I Go in the US
Simonon and Duff McKagen are why I switched to bass decades ago. When I was first learning to play I spent hours with London’s Calling and Appetite for Destruction learning every song on both LPs. Awesome video as always

Congratulations on getting to play Paul Simonon's bass line on the Spotify series. I didn't even realize they had an audio documentary about the Clash. I'm going to give it a listen.
Live for sure as it is quite difficult, particularly for an intermediate player such as Paul, to do under pressure but why wouldn't he have done it in the studio?
@@andressepulveda9709 I love Paul, but there's no chance in hell that he wrote the bass for Lost in the Supermarket (if you listen to the isolated track, this should be pretty obvious). There's no other musician credited, so it's a reasonable assumption to consider it was Mick.
Dude thank you so much I’ve been requesting this for awhile. I have to say you are one of the coolest dudes on the web. You always answer any questions I’ve posted and take the time to thank people for compliments.
I AM A BRAZILIAN BOY BEING 17 YEARS OLD . I AM ALSO A BASSIST PAUL HAVE INFLUENCED ME A LOT HIS BASS LINES ARE GREAT -TRIADS -TETRADS - 5TH I SM SO PROUD TO SAY : PAUL IS AN ONE INFLUENCE O'MINE😄😁🎸👍🏻
He said his style came from LACK of technique…he was drafted in the band for his good looks & artistic talent rather than his chops Paul said that he got into reggae as he could hear the bass on his records unlike the busier style of the likes of John Entwistle of The Who
Paul is a great player & yes it's him on the majority of the record's but he didn't write all of the bass lines & he didn't play all the bass lines on the record's. Just saying.
I'd definitely like to see some hardcore punk band bassists two that comes to mind is chuck ducouski of black flag and klaus flooride of dead Kennedys that would make me day thanks man you rock
He has just released a new album, a collaboration in a band called Galen and Paul. What I've heard is sublime. I'd recommend Room at the Top for starters.
Nice! He also used a Epiphone Rivoli Bass on a lot of Londoncalling (check out the isolated bass stuff) and a Wal bass on Give em enough rope. A lot of Sandinista was Norman Watt Roy on Bass, at least 5 tracks.
Hey Paul, great channel, just subscribed :) What about iconic bass player of The Stranglers, Jean-Jacques Brunel? And then, whenever you have time, Mike Karn of Japan?
@@realsinisterminister I just find it amazing how there isn't a single thing on the internet that says he never played on the full album. It's almost like it because Paul did play bass on it
I love your videos! I dont even play bass but I learn so much! Can you do Peter Steele from Type O Negative? He has a really interesting and unique bass sound especially on World Coming Down the album
GREAT VIDEO I LIKE A LOT PAUL SIMONON HIS BASS LINES TAUGHT ME A LOT GREAT VIDEO BY A GRET BASSIST ALSO ABOUT ANOTHER GREAT BASSIST FOR WHOM WHO IS A GREAT BASS PLAYER ALSO THAT IS ME THAT IS WRITTING IT RIGHT NOW YES A CLUB OF GREAT BASSISTS THANKS A LOT PAUL DE BELLO GOD BLESS YOU
Nickel roundwounds for universal use. Steels for speed metal. But if you think these guys took any notice of their strings, you miss the quintessence of Punk.
i'd like to see a video on Algy Ward, specifically his work in The Saints and The Damned admittedly that's only about 3 albums worth...... but it's so good

I'd like to see Andy Rourke of The Smiths, underrated bass player.
I second this!
Yes!
I third!!
Criminally underrated! My personal top 3: 1. Paul McCartney 2.Andy Rourke 3. Paul Simonon
Yep, huge part of their sound.
It would be very nice if you made a video about Jean-Jacques Burnel ("The Stranglers"). I think he's one of the best bass players of British '77 punk and new wave.
I'll 33rd that suggestion!
Paul already has!
@@petermanley7525 Yes, I saw it

Very Underated Paul he said in an interview that he messed up alot when playing live but he just enjoyed playing can we have Klaus Fluoride The Dead Kennedys Next Please 👌👍✌️
o yeah Klaus
Yasss Klaus Flouride please!

How about Bruce Foxton of the Jam the Paul McCartney of punk or Glen Matlock of The Sex Pistols the Ronnie Lane of punk.
Choice.
Glen matlock the real Bassist of sex pistols
Yes Bruce Foxton
I'm sure Paul had no theory behind him, but his playing was tight, interesting, and legendary.

Can you make a video about Flea please?
I was lucky to meet all the members of the clash in Nottingham , I’m 63 now and still play the clash every day.
Wasn’t expecting to learn so much from this but some great details that will get me approaching the bass slightly differently.
Paul grooves like a punk rock reggae outlaw.
I love the triplet swing and swagger on London Calling.
Graham Maby next please.
TWO PAULS THAT I LIKE
PAUL SIMONON AND PAUL DE BELLO CONGRATULATIONS PAUL BY THE VIDEO THANK YOU
YOU HELP ME A LOT AT BASS
Congratulations on getting to play Paul Simonon's bass line on the Spotify series. I didn't even realize they had an audio documentary about the Clash. I'm going to give it a listen.
Besides not playing the bass on The Magnificent 7 he also did not play the bass on The Guns of Brixton that was Joe Strummer.
Live yes, but studio, don't think so..
He didn’t play rock the casbah either. That was topper
@@troublebrewing2121 that's a good question I am going to have to look into that.
Norman Watt-Roy played "seven".
Live for sure as it is quite difficult, particularly for an intermediate player such as Paul, to do under pressure but why wouldn't he have done it in the studio?
You forgot about the fact that most parts were actually dubbed by mick Jones. That’s why it has a “chorus” when you listen to the parts in isolation.
You mean mick jones wrote most of Paul’s bass lines on a lot of their material?
Mick say he never play the bass for the clash in a interview
@@andressepulveda9709 I love Paul, but there's no chance in hell that he wrote the bass for Lost in the Supermarket (if you listen to the isolated track, this should be pretty obvious). There's no other musician credited, so it's a reasonable assumption to consider it was Mick.
I love to play the bass lines of this amazing band. Damn Good
So happy to see people talk about him. Maybe it’s been a while but I think the musicians individually are so underrated.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! SIMONON IS MY FAVORITE BASSIST EVER!!!
paul raven or youth of killing joke were great bassist. new wave style, punk, pop, noisy stuff-they did it all.
Man,the bass line of "Turns to red"!!!
Absolute genius, now if you could just do J.J from the Stranglers please ....
hey !!! now you mentioned him you have to do norman watt roy bass!!!!
Paul, you should do a video on Mike Mills from R.E.M. !
It's not Simonon who play the magnificent 7 bass lines !😂
Correct. It’s Norman Watt-Roy of Ian Dury and the Blockheads.
Fantastic! A bass legend from a legendary band. Goes to show you being a musician is more than just technical proficiency. I am loving this series.
Paul I really enjoy these Bass Habits videos, keep 'em coming!
i was hoping you would do one on paul simonon!! great video love those bass habits
Dude thank you so much I’ve been requesting this for awhile. I have to say you are one of the coolest dudes on the web. You always answer any questions I’ve posted and take the time to thank people for compliments.
We need The Clash now more than ever. But they can never return. Have you ever done an episode on Pete Farndon?
Second time of requesting either Al Cisneros of Sleep or Billy Gould of Faith No More, please.
do sid vicious:D
Hahahahah good one
Yeah that would have to be interesting. So many rumors to weed through...
the secret to sound like sid vicious: switch off the bass and just pretend hahahah
could you make a video of Carlos D from Interpol, please?
You got your wish!
I AM A BRAZILIAN BOY BEING 17 YEARS OLD . I AM ALSO A BASSIST PAUL HAVE INFLUENCED ME A LOT HIS BASS LINES ARE GREAT
-TRIADS
-TETRADS
- 5TH
I SM SO PROUD TO SAY :
PAUL IS AN ONE INFLUENCE O'MINE😄😁🎸👍🏻
Muito loko

Norman is more than just a session player. Blockheads are awesome. Do Norman!
First
I'd definitely like to see some hardcore punk band bassists two that comes to mind is chuck ducouski of black flag and klaus flooride of dead Kennedys that would make me day thanks man you rock
You should also check Simonon's post Clash band Havana 3am. There are some cool basslines there.
He has just released a new album, a collaboration in a band called Galen and Paul. What I've heard is sublime.
I'd recommend Room at the Top for starters.
Very interesting, thoroughly enjoyed these insights
Gran Dupla: Strummer-Simonon ✅
Joe era muy considerado con sus fans (siempre los atendía) 🤚
The Clash: históricos 💥
One
Norman Watt Roy of the Blockheads
Paul was just a natural. Amazing bass player.
The only band that mattered. Still.
The Sex Pistols did not agree with the clash…
Nice! He also used a Epiphone Rivoli Bass on a lot of Londoncalling (check out the isolated bass stuff) and a Wal bass on Give em enough rope. A lot of Sandinista was Norman Watt Roy on Bass, at least 5 tracks.
Norman deserves his own video.
As the bassist in Ian Dury and the Blockheads he was incredibly influential.
It was Mick who always told him what notes to play
Buen video pelucón lml
the podcast seems to be taken down. that sucks
the spotify podcast is gone!
Do JJ Burnel next.
Paul Grey is better
Elevator going up!
How to sound like Paul Simonon with a jazz bass lol
Wire the 2 pickups in series :)
Please do twiggy Ramirez
I was always shocked that you haven’t done one on Rodger waters from pink floyd
The trick for that one is to be David Gilmour and then take credit afterwards.
Pink Floyd is my favourite band and Roger my favourite member but I dont think he was distinctive enough to be in this type of videos
Thank you very much for Your How to sound like... videos!!! Great!!!
Hey Paul, great channel, just subscribed :) What about iconic bass player of The Stranglers, Jean-Jacques Brunel? And then, whenever you have time, Mike Karn of Japan?
I'd be very surprised to find that Paul played on Lost in the Supermarket.
He didn't play on the 1st album at all and didn't come up with the bass lines....but was cool as fuck
He did play on the first album
@@RYx222 No....he didnt Mick did all the guitars on that
@@realsinisterminister No he didn't Google it
@@RYx222 I think the members themselves who have plainly stated that he never will be sufficient
@@realsinisterminister I just find it amazing how there isn't a single thing on the internet that says he never played on the full album. It's almost like it because Paul did play bass on it
Thanks for this! What is the name of the mentioned BBC podcast, please? Congrats!
Galen and Paul have just brought out an album, and what I've heard is sublime.
thank you mr pauldelbello for make "how to sound like Paul Simonon of the clash"🙏🙏🙏
Perfectly summarized. Thank you!
I love your videos! I dont even play bass but I learn so much! Can you do Peter Steele from Type O Negative? He has a really interesting and unique bass sound especially on World Coming Down the album
Hey Paul!
Maybe a video about Mel Schacher from Grand Funk?
Hi Paul ! I can't play at all, but I like your channel very much :)
A lot of the bass lines were never played by Paul.
Mick Jones wrote, fully played or dubbed additional parts on a whole lot of that Clash bass.
He say thats not true (in a interview)
@@andressepulveda9709 what interview is it?
These videos are highly educational!!would you do a video on flea from the red hot chili peppers?
GREAT VIDEO I LIKE A LOT PAUL SIMONON HIS BASS LINES TAUGHT ME A LOT GREAT VIDEO BY A GRET BASSIST ALSO ABOUT ANOTHER GREAT BASSIST FOR WHOM WHO IS A GREAT BASS PLAYER ALSO THAT IS ME THAT IS WRITTING IT RIGHT NOW
YES A CLUB OF GREAT BASSISTS THANKS A LOT PAUL DE BELLO GOD BLESS YOU
Nice
Ciao, ragazzo. Tu parla l'italiano?
Love your channel, keep doing the great job!
Wonderful video. Would love to see Leon Wilkeson, Rex Rocker, or Mike Inez soon
Spell the triads? Why use the verb "spell"?
Thanks!
Thank you so much !
Can you so clay gober of polyphia
Hey! You did my request.
Very underrated bassist
James Jameson bass habits!!
can you do flea next?
WHAT'S IN THE NAME
Geddy Lee of Rush
rotosound flats or rotosound round?
round, the swing 66s i think
Nickel roundwounds for universal use. Steels for speed metal.
But if you think these guys took any notice of their strings, you miss the quintessence of Punk.
i'd like to see a video on Algy Ward, specifically his work in The Saints and The Damned
admittedly that's only about 3 albums worth...... but it's so good
I would like to see a video about Paul McCartney, Jack Bruce or John Entwistle.
Brian Marshall from Creed/Alter Bridge please
These videos are great. I've been inspired to start playing bass again having not picked mine up in years.
Would you ever do a video on Phil Lesh?
0:52 what kind of bass is that
