For all the dummies making stupid comments about Verdine, he is NOT a soloist. Verdine White is one the best Bass players on recorded hits. He lays down a groove like no other.
realityme bullshit...just do your research. You wanna believe he’s a legend and funky, but he’s faking it. Watch for yourself. Its hard to believe, but if you do research, you’ll see What I mean.
I'm as big an EWF fan as there is, I have all their recordings, I have loved them since the beginning. The thing I always noticed about Verdine is that he is having so much fun playing his bass, his smile was always huge.
Verdine plays for the song, as he should. Marcus plays as the draw and star people come to see. Two way different perspectives and each doing exactly what they should. Thanks for posting!
Fact is Marcus, is a master musician..I know him,he is world-class period..Very very few bass players or musicians can match Marcus on a music level.,he is the real deal. Herbie Hancock needed Marcus schooling on piano voicings, that speaks volumes...But Verdine has way more hits, yes more than a top session Bassplayer
I do feel that Verdine is great in his own right!~but as far as a off the cuff. .improvising player he's not! and that's not a problem. try playing some of his bass lines on any of the EWF RECORDS....also check out EWF live ,the GRATITUDE ALBUM. WILL BLOW YOU MIND~~
While soloing may not be one of Verdine White's main things, he is BY FAR, THE GREATEST bass showman on Earth and has laid down more bass groove hits than any other bassist ever, with the exception of maybe James Jamerson. But there never has been, nor ever will be any bass player who can dance and drop the funk on the bass simultaneously. PERIOD.
Verdine White is a legend, an in the pocket bassist, the consummate showman and excellent player. .While, Marcus Miller is considered to be the ThumbSlinger, but also a great showman, has great timing and impeccable musicianship playing with just about everyone...So there's a lil difference except their net worth...
well ...aside from his legend skills on the bass Marcus is a very accomplished composer and producer for nearly 40 years ... Luther Vandross, David sanborn Miles Davis and many more so im sure he's doing pretty well
White & Miller have two different styles that complement each other. White has that old school Motown bass sound and type of play, while Miller has a more new school slap and pop. Either was you can hear the bass.
Two totally different types of players, both deserving of their place in stardom. Verdine's style is a high-energy style of finger picking, whereas, Marcus Miller's style is a thumb, slap and pop style of funk. I love 'em both, but if I had to say who won this competition, it would be Marcus Miller.
Wow! A lot comments on here questioning Verdine's playing? If that wasn't him on the albums who was it then? Names & proof? Let's say for the sake of argument he didn't play on the albums. He had to EXECUTE the lines live didn't he? They weren't pre-recording shows in the 70s. He's a band guy. Always has been. So he's going to sound uncomfortable playing against a more well rounded person like Marcus. Just like it's solo cats that struggle playing in band settings. Or EWF tunes. Until valid concrete proof is provided that Verdine didn't play on those records or live....he has earned his accolades.
It’s total nonsense why people think Verdine didn’t play on the albums.I saw him in action,front and center during the 75,and the Spirit tour.Not to mention other concerts,.during the classic 9 original band.It’s insulting to me,.and millions of fans.This man played on all of the EWF albums.Except for “Touch The World”album.And that was Nathan East.Verdine is a legend,nuff said.
Louis Satterfield is the guy playing bass on all those songs! Over the years Verdine has gotten better but far from the groove player people believe. And if you notice he does very remedial licks. I’ve been playing for 40 years and I 100% am not good at soloing however I’ve been playing long enough that when put in the situation I have enough chops just from playing so long that I can bust out a couple scales in the key we’re in and throw in a couple triplets and get by. Now that goes for anyone that has been playing for years! And your right Verdine is not a soloist because he’s really not a bassist! Proof ok look up Louis Satterfield .
@@steviedebarge77 cmon man,well if Satterfield played on all the EWF songs.I guess Verdine took Satt with him during studio session work.Verdine did a lot of session work.He played on Harvey Mason’s earlier albums,Ramsey Lewis just to name a few.And I don’t think Maurice would allow false liner notes.And Louis Satterfield wasn’t with them during the WB years.Their first 2 albums,it’s all Verdine bro!
@@steviedebarge77 that’s a flat out lie satterfield did not play bass on not one ewf album it’s amazing how far people will go to manufacture lies satt played bass at times during live shows when verdeen was performing an act satt also played drums during live shows occasionally for maurice so I guess he’s the real drummer on the albums to stop the buffoonery
Verdine is the real deal,he has played on all of the albums.Except “Touch the World”Nathan East did the bass work on it.This hate and fake news about Verdine not playing on their iconic albums,need to stop.And plus I saw him in concert back during the classic 9 days.For some of you uneducated so called EWF FANS.That group was Verdine,Al,Johnny,Fred,Ralph,Philip,Maurice,Larry and Andrew🙏🏽
Behind The Funk. Curious to know just how many Verdine White haters, read classical charts. FYI, Verdine classically trained at Chicago's School of Conservatory. Any takers?
Marcus was around 14 when he met Veridne..he worships Verdine. so it's clear verdine was a big influence on him. their is a great youtube, with Marcus interviewing Verdine. check it out.
This is Obviously a taped dueling bass battle that Marcus agreed to.Listen closely and look at their hands.My God, some of the notes are coming out with No hands on the fret board.Look again, and listen.Verdeen Obviously thinks it would be more effective to use a taped bass solo, than to play live, and possibly blow it.Big bands started doing that shit in the early 80s including the Jacksons.No different than Mariah Carrie or Milli Vanilli.Its called bass synching.
NO WAY MARK BOND! stop drinking vomit, and snacking on kitty litter Jamerson is in a class ALL by his self! He also was the first bass player, first bass player EVER to be inducted into the music HOF! Jamerson pumped out SOOOOOO many hits, and that's why Motown was hitsville Maybe verdine & Marcus will get there, but jamerson's already there how's. 4 words I say to you, LAY OFF DA WEED!
It was NOT Marcus VS Verdine. I love the way Verdine White plays bass! However, Marcus Miller is an entirely different type and level jazz/fusion bass player. This is Marcus Miller! That is why Verdine brought him up on stage!
Very misleading title, because a bass solo battle against Marcus is like boxing a young Mile Tyson with you having one arm tied. Verdine is a master studio and live bassist. He holds the Grove and fills like no other, but respectfully, he can't solo his way out of paper bag. Nevertheless, he's hands-down one of the greatest bass players of all time. Much love and respect to both him and King Marcus. Great video.
This generation doesn't even play anything. We had 5 great bassist in my neighborhood. One went to Burkley because I introduced him to fusion at 14. He already liked Willie Weeks and Rocco. My brother who play in bands from age 14. Two brothers The Shinns. One left music and went to GM. I had a ear and mind. Wanted to work in a factory and build a studio. North East Ohio. We had Howard Hewitt, the Ingram brothers, Dazz, Lots more Disco and white greed killed the funk.
Ok EWF were an exceptional group. I never really played attention to Verdine's playing. But from what I've heard in this video. I think he's ok. But I like Larry Graham, Marcus Miller, Louis Johnson and Prince guitar skills much better. But EWF were a badass group.
No way u last in the business and cant play wow ill accept that when your video comes out challenging him live so we and the rest of the music community can hear you. And go out and by your music
No winner here..Marcus is my Dog,..But I saw Victor Wooten, make him and Stanley look like beginners, yes it can be done ...Victor Wooten Tzar of Bass.. Verdine stood up and was counted..Marcus Miller Greatest (sound wise )bass player...His sound is KING even Godlike..But Wooten can take him and all the rest to school bass .wise...
Average Kynt If you are a bass player. A REAL bass player. You will know what I’m talking about. Bass players know how to groove and can make their own grooves. Put a guitar player on bass and he can do some of the same shyt Victor is doing. I’ve never heard Victors groove like Marcus can. And I saw all 3 of them. No slight on Victor. It just is what it is.
@Average Kynt Read my entire post. Especially the part about "everyday playing". If you are hired for a gig, are you going to play like Jaco or Victor?
EWF have sold over 90 million units of music world wide and performed worldwide to sell out crowds. You don't do that with a fake bass player or fake musicians. No two Bass Players are just alike. They are like food. Do you prefer meat and potatoes, cake and ice cream, fish and slaw, doughnuts and milk, etc. Much respect to Verdine and EWF, When 2020 arrives, they will have blessed us with great music and live performances for 50 years. Amazing! Wealth and Happiness to you...
You Really don't know what your talking about verdall white can not really play the bass its home vid with him n his n niece m dude still couldn't play its blot him on the tracks
@@joef7520 I respect your opinion. You're smart. Were my comments false? Have you seen them live in concert? Do you realize he's approaching 70?

Verdine is a lame bass player!! I'm not seeing the level of talent that I hear on the EWF records, I'm not sure he really played on the records. Oh, by the way, I've seen him in concert about 10 times and my opinion is the same, his legend is bigger than his talent!
Verdine is not a soloist, he just does the bass player job: to maintain the band with groove and great non-busy lines, why always bassplayers need all those slap/tapping acrobatics?? Marcus is a great bassist but they have different techniques because one is a band member and other is a soloist, so chill and enjoy music, is not a competition.

Absolutely!
How Ignorant , Verdine White faking it? LOL.
He is the Jameison, of my generation..
Two Legends I love'd it...God bless them both...
Just think of the happiness and goodwill that Verdine has brought around the country, the world. Everything about him....he just brings it.
I'm as big an EWF fan as there is, I have all their recordings, I have loved them since the beginning. The thing I always noticed about Verdine is that he is having so much fun playing his bass, his smile was always huge.
Verdine White and Marcus Miller are both exceptional bassist! I like both players equally!!
Mr v. White is a very happy man who has talent and is PAID 😅
Two great Bass Players ever!
Verdine clean and polished. Marcus smooth and funky. Verdine pure showman. Marcus laid back humble studio guy.
Very well said! Both are very good bassist and they both had a different style of playing when it came to this part of the performance or in general!
Two extraordinary talents with different styles, Why is it always a competition?
Because it's what people do and it's stupid.
