As a bass player I find Tinas' playing very unique because there are no extra unnecessary notes. She gets the perfect bass line for the song and it becomes stuck in your head. The epitome of less is more.
This. No distractions: I'm writing the song too - when I need to, I will.
Very well said. She's a brilliant bass player.
@@sockington1 Well for mediocre she has done extremely well keeping it solid and exactly what is needed. Perhaps you might learn something from that. McCartney was similar for the Beatles.
@@sockington1 I rather like Tina and I often enjoy her bass lines, but to be frank she has neither tone nor dynamism. To compare her to Paul McCartney, who has both is funny!
You’re kind of making a virtue of necessity aren’t you? The fact is that she wasn’t such a great bass player, just so-so, and that’s probably all she could manage. Which is also why they had to have an additional bass player on Some of their concert tours because she just wasn’t capable of some of the more virtuosic funk grooves for example That they needed during those concerts.Everybody makes such a big deal of the fact that she “learned to be the Play the bass right before she joined the band”which is a half truth that she has been all too happy to perpetuate over the years, because the fact is that she started playing the guitar when she was 14 (But she never mentions that) and the 4 lowest strings of the guitar are the same notes as the four strings of the bass. EADG. Just an octave lower on the bass. Not like she had to learn how to play the sitar in 2 months or something. LOL. Any competent guitarist can figure out a baseline by taking the route note and fifth note of The chords the rest of the band is playing and throwing some passing notes in between. It’s not exactly rocket science. Paul McCartney sometimes had to play some of the guitar parts that George Harrison couldn’t muster in their studio recordings. Like a riff from “paperback writer” if I recall correctly that George was Having too much trouble with.So there’s overlap between the two instruments.Even when I wasn’t as good on the guitar as I am now I was able to pick up a bass years ago and I didn’t sound that bad on it.
I love how Chris comes across as her biggest fan in this.
That is very nice
"Twice in a lifetime" -- love!
i think he just actually is her biggest fan :) it's so cute. i'm so glad they've stayed together, and i'm not at all surprised that they did either
Matt McNeil He and Tina started Dating in 1975. They got married in 1978. Had a Daughter in 1979 and a Son in 1985. They’ve been together that long.
atombrain She was hired as the Bassist because she was his Girlfriend and was so Tomboyish.
I like how her husband, Chris credits her 🤗. That kind of love and support must've helped her over the years
Thats why he's a cyber porn freak always posting photos of women
Not Tina
They both owe it all to David. They should be grateful.
@@lamontcranston3177 Wow, you seem to post a lot of comments about her, just saying.
You’re in a band and you have this other life at home. On stage in the middle of a song and you start thinking of your wife and your home , you get distracted , even lonely sometimes. But here is Chris and he looks over and sees his lovely wife Tina rocking it up with him. What a joy that must have been for all those years. God bless them both.
Well, for Chris and Tina, it was right. But that's definitely not a life for a guy (or gal) who treasures his or her space. As much as you love, adore and treasure your woman, being together *constantly* day in and day out can take its toll. I know of couples whose marriages were strained to one degree or another by them living *and* working together. Fleetwood Mac is one example of this. By the time of the "Rumours" album, the two couples were ready to strangle each other. The odd man out being Mick Fleetwood. The opposite happened to him. He was home so seldom from being out on the road with the band, his wife left and took their daughter(s).
@@ApartmentKing66 it's the PEOPLE. I dont know if I casn think of any statement more deceiving/deceitful than "familiarity breeds contempt"
Good point
I just finished Chris Frantz's book "Remain in Love" about his relationship with Tina, Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club. Chris is still very evidently totally enamored with Tina. The way he speaks about her throughout the book is with utmost respect and admiration. It's inspiring. Tina also had to deal with a lot of sexist garbage throughout her career, including from David Byrne. The grace with fortitude with which she put up with that stuff is similarly remarkable. Tina was also the "adult" in the band, she was the first road manager the band had, she kept everyone focused and on schedule, she pushed them forward. She's a remarkable person.
You should have bought the deluxe extra tall pedestal. Isn't she worth the few extra bucks?
Smart, successful, creative people. The world needs more like that.
Tina is a true princess and a talent without compare. She is simply a legend
Heart and soul...
You got the “princess” part right. LOL
Why? Where do you get this?
It's a true shame that Tina's bass riffs aren't more appreciated by the snobs. A good bass player carries the bottom & helps establish the beat. Bass players shouldn't mimic the lead guitar & those types of flourishes aren't required in most songs. A good solid beat & adding the right amount of creative or basic fill is all that most songs need.
She is one of a kind. Definitely helped put women on the map as leaders of an avant-garde band/soul pop group 🤘
I couldn't agree more. Weymouth inspired me to play bass and I mimiced her pared back style quite a lot. The snobs don't credit her because she
did not fit the cliché rock musician. A lack of a penis is usually made up for in women by being overtly "rock chick" and that was not ever Weymouth's
style. Love the story of how she'd been paying off a Fender and she walks into Chris and David's session with it after months of being haranged
by Chris to join the band. She'd obviously planned too for quite a while.
Tina's bass playing has always been amazing.
23 squidoo 😁
You left a mark on me Tina with your untradional way of playing and the up front sound with the bass as well of the rest of with the funky/ strange/ unusual/ pioneer music, so thanks a million and much more to you and all of your bandmates!
Tina and Chris have a great positive energy vibe!
Tina doesn’t get the recognition she deserves. Definitely one of the best bass players out there ✌️
DEBBIE HARRY AND TINA WEYMOUTH TWO OF THE COOLEST ROCKBIRDS ON EARTH!
Most definitely! Adding to the list of greats... Chrissie Hynde and the Wilson sisters. : )
Suzi Quattro!!!!!!!,
I'll drop another, Kathi McDonald! amazing voice.
Patti "punk poet laureate," Smith
@@celticspike7 Don't forget Patty
When I was 12, My dad was stationed in Iceland in the Navy. His boss was Admiral Weymouth. I googled Admiral Weymouth in early January 2020 just for kicks and to my surprise, he is still alive (102) and he is a war hero, and his daughter, who was 16 then is Tina Weymouth! We met her and her other siblings back then, but I was so surprised and impressed that she went on to be in the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club. Awesome! Mind Blown!
I later learned that Admiral Weymouth died just a few days after I googled him. RIP!
@@air419 It's not your fault! Stop blaming yourself for his passing, go easy on yourself.
Great to see Tina and Chris talk about their role in the Talking Heads, so often the band is portrayed as David Byrne's baby. Tina and Chris were the greatest rhythm section of the punk/post-punk era, incredibly tasteful musicians who understood their art and drew on influences outside of punk. Thanks for uploading this film.
Followed the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club from the beginning. Love you Tina!!
Great and well-deserved tribute! In Bruce Thomas' second book, he mentions being asked by Tina what he thought of her band; "kind of arty." And how he regrets not telling her he loved Talking Heads and thought she was a really good bass player! I'm glad he put that part in the book, for history's sake.
Love Chris and Tina. Great to see these young pics!
Very cool, memorable bass lines. I didn't realise she was learning on the job with Talking Heads. That's impressive!
Tina and Chris are so down to Earth.....No Wonder they STILL love one another! The history that they share musically AND as a couple is A Book right there! Hope they have a joint Memoir somewhere in the future! I remember seeing Talking Heads at the beginning of those MTV Days and TINA stood out like no other female Band Member to me anyway! Cheers From Ohio
She got me early too, when I heard "Take Me To The River". I was told it was a girl by my older brother and was immediately in love, then I saw her and , CRUSH time! lol
I got my first exposure to the Talking Heads at New Mexico State University in September of 1979 and remembered that Tina Weymouth looked kind of nervous as she rocked backwards and forwards while playing her bass. They sounded fantastic and I've been hooked ever since.
that's a really special film, glad I saw you live Tina and Chris.
Amazing creative minds. I was a depressed kid growing up. Their music changed my life for the so much better. I had a major 80s nerd boy crush on Tina. Thank you for so much great music.
I know talking heads from 1977, and i learn today Tina and Chris were married!!! (i'm french, sorry!! lol!) What a beautyfull story anyway....God bless them!
Thanks for this.
Tina has always been a stand out, in the world of Rock n' Roll.
Totally enjoyed her music throughout the 70s and 80s.
This vid ties it all together in a neat package.
Wonderful couple with an abunDANCE of talent and rhythm.
Lol abunDANCE
Like it. Lol
LOVE!
Big fan here, of Tina's and Chris's. Great with Talking Heads and on their own as well.
She’d be the coolest grandma ever
Tina is an absolute class act, one of the greatest ever female rock artists. She ranks alongside Grace Slick and Annie Lennox IMHO.
You forgot Chrissie Hynde, Dude
I love her when she sings. Hmm, no, maybe I love more when she plays bass. Wait a minute: I love her even more when she sings, plays bass and dances.
❤️ Tina is gorgeous and awesome
She really could play that bass. Her bass parts really contributed to the songs. Saw them live Halloween night in 1977 in a college gym. Had never really heard them, but they put on a helluva good show and everybody came away impressed.
She is AWESOME!!!!! Psycho Killer's bass riff is unreal. I Love it.
Talking Heads, The Tom Tom Club, were kick ass bands.
I totally admire this rockin' bass player! She's always been the real deal!
Saw you in new zealand at the sweetwaters festival in early 80s ... WOW ..... ive been to hundreds of concerts but Talking Heads is one that i wish could see again .... thanx for the music ... it ROCKS .....👣👣👅👍🙆😎👣👣
What lovely people! Great music too! No pretentiousness whatsoever!
When Tina gets her rhythm section cooking, it's real magic. 💕
I don't know why RUclips suggested this to me. I wasn't on a bass kick or anything. But Tina is amazing and underrated and wrote some of the best basslines in rock and deserves so much more recognition so I had to click and have to slightly boost its algorithmic success further. Technically, maybe not a virtuoso, but definitely a creative genius, and that's *far* more important.
Tina, you are awesome! Love your work and vocals with the T-Heads but especially with the T-T-Club!
fabulous, thank-you for posting!
first time i saw the talking heads, i thought wow that woman can rock. always loved her bass playing. never got into the tom tom club, but now i'm gonna download an album.
She looks great, and was an amazing bass player, I'm sorry I missed Tom Tom Club but they're on my radar now!
A beautiful person.
I'm a bass player since 84.....I grew up right in the middle of thier fame....
Favorite Heads album More songs about Buildings and food, the bass is just incredible on every track x
My favorite all time rhythm section. Weymouth and Frantz.
A wonderful woman in every sense ❤️
This is absolutely fantastic!
As a native Rhode Islander much love to Tina.
Tina, with all due respect, I love you
I love Tina Weymouth, she's awesome!
Incredibly attractive and charming individuals
Aw, that’s a treat, seeing Tina play.
Great bass player, love her style .
This was wonderful!!! LOVE her!!!!
Tina is a fabulous bass player. Its innovators that are memorable to what they contribute to an overall emotional musical feeling . Technical ablity has its place ,but its way to overplayed (intended) these days. Thanks for your music Tina .
Well, her basslines are simple but efficient. It's the art.
well, she played stuff that Stanley Clarke & Jaco Pastorius couldn't play, if that's what you mean..
Brilliant :) Thanks.
I was a lucky because I had friends who had been listening to Talking Heads back in the late 70s. This was quality music to enjoy because most Punk I thought,9,9m9m
What a beautiful intelligent woman!
A natural. God bless.
Awwww...wonderful. Thank you Tina & Chris.
Great to see love survive so long!
Tina, I bought that album back in the 70's with the song Cross Eyed and Painless. It was the bass that sold me! Or sold it! 😊
She's a genious...!
So much love ♥️ for Tina and the Heads... hold on 🤔 that sounds a bit blue.. Tina and the Talking Heads.
As I so do love the way they love one anotha.. God has blessed you Tina so filled with fun natural Funnn.
In the early 1980s, I was in love with Tina. I never told my girlfriend. But somehow, she knew.
Yeah, that was me too.
Wait, who was in the "she knew"? Tina, or your girlfriend? Do tell.
Brilliant bass player 🙌🙌🙌🙌☝️☝️
Fabulous bass player. Great story.
I love the fact that I have 9 Talking Heads albums and 2 Tom Tom Club albums and still didn't know that Tina is married to Chris!
Why do you love that?
@@Mark-bw1wx I'm British. It's a sort of ironical way of expressing, "How on Earth did this fact pass me by for all this time when I'm a huge fan?" 😉
@@SC-jh9qp Oh, I see. Cheers.
My Favorite Bassist love you Tina ❤️
SO IN LOVE WITH HER!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR MUSICAL LOVE!!!! YOU CHANGED MY MUSICAL LIFE!!!!
Cool. Very cool. Glad I found this.
Tina rocks!
Tina Weymouth was not a "co-founder" of Talking Heads. She didn't even want to be in the band, her husband Chris had to compel her. She didn't know how to play the bass when she joined! The band was the idea of Chris who approached David Byrne, and they co-founded Talking Heads. That having been said, Tina was, no doubt, a huge contribution to their success.
Fair enough.
That was awesome.
An example of a great human being !
November 22, 2019 - Happy Birthday to Tina Weymouth!

That was great!
Still totally in love with her. If that thing with Chris doesn't pan out, give me a call!
Great Bass Player !
Exception of a Great and Unique Bass Player ¡😎¡
She's incredible!
Good group. Saw them in concert once. I got it.
The bass line of Psycho Killer is one that I catch myself humming. A lot. I know, I'm weird.
From the title I thought she had died!
trevor morton Me too...
she only LOOKS dead
The industry is done with her ... she was a bass player she played instruments can't have that with in these walls
trevor morton Me too!
@@ferrers88 Get a life JERK OFF

What a beautiful couple : )
Oh my God! Sing it Tina
I love Tina.
una bassista che è entrata nella storia mondiale del pop...
Imagine having awesome parents like Chris and Tina.
Simply put....an icon.
Tina is awesome. And very cute too.
Tina Weymouth. Beautiful.
Their track on american psycho was the best track in that movie.
I'm a minute in and I've been told that Tina and Tom Tom Club were instrumental in creating hip-hop. Excuse me? Hip-hop created Tom Tom Club, not the other way around, and the band knew that perfectly well. Also I've been told she's a co-founder of Talking Heads. Nope. Byrne and Frantz were and Frantz was just a drummer. Tina is indeed a pioneering bass player in rock history, but this is other stuff is malarkey. Should I watch the rest?
Very underrated bass player, for sure.
7:36 I like how he put the corus into his sentence.lmao
