    This doesn't get said enough but Eric Avery is one of the greatest and most underrated bass players ever. Especially on Ritual. That album changed my life and to this day I find it hard to find people that share that passion.
    I learned how to play bass with your albums. Mad respect.
    Thanks for teaching people how to be creative, melodic and articulate, but simple and direct at the same time.
    Shout out to Eric.
    If you're reading this: you rule man. Your solo stuff also is the shit and remains some of my favorite music ever.
    Highly recomended.

    Awesome, my favorite bass player, along with Stuart Zender (another underrated one by the way)
    Besides Jane’s, Eric also did the brilliant Deconstruction and Polar Bear albums. He is not only a great bassist, but great songwriter as well.

    • @Drjackdempsey9644

      I don’t think Zender is underrated. He is widely known in the Bass world as one of the best Jamiroquai just never took off in the US as much as they did in Europe and the UK.

    Eric was the back bone and musical driving force in Janes Addiction. Imo they haven't released any nearly as good after he left the band. And if you check out their setlist from over the years it's still filled with the songs built around his bass lines. Very little is played off of the records he's not on.

    0:23 Perry Farrell wanted Bill Laswell to produce "Nothing's Shocking", based on some of Laswell's world music production that Perry loved. Laswell turned them down without hearing them, based on this photo, lol. Lucky for them, Dave Jerden was the right guy for them.

    Avery's contribution to JA is immense, and genuinely under-rated. You nailed the role he played, and why it worked so well within that original line-up! Another great video on Janes here:

    I wonder how many people love Avery's iconic basslines and somehow confused bass with guitar and attributed everything to Navarro.

  • @Microtonal_Cats
    @Microtonal_Cats Год назад +1

    Eric didn't use much / any effects but he always used a rack mount compressor. I don't know the brand. But that's part of why he had such a punchy, even sound. You know the joke?: "What's the difference between a good bass player and a great bass player?" A: a compressor and 5 IQ points.
