How to play bass on stage
« on: September 05, 2011, 04:42:33 PM »
Steve Vai posted this on his facebook page with the comment "Hey, Steve here. I found this clip of insightful words of wisdom for performing live. This guy is now one of my heroes. It's like he knows my stage secrets."

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

You know what's weird about that video? It seems like it's supposed to be a parody or a joke, but...those actually seem like good tips. :lol

From the Phil Lynott school.  "Why do you hold your bass so high up?"  "Eh, so the girls can see me bollocks."



I'm betting Phil would have kicked his ass over the Pabst Blue Ribbon, though.

In looking for it, I did find an excellent video of Sebastian Bach on stage with Vai and his band plus Akira Takasaki, doing Yankee Rose on the MOR Cruise.  Bitchin'!
