White Man In Hammermith Palais is a great line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouMa Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) I think it was joe strummer who played the bass for guns of brixton and and any of the funky stuff magnif 7/rock the casbah was watt-roy out the block heads,i was very dissapointed when i heard this as paul siminon did look the part.

YouMa Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 He didnt in the studio,im pretty sure it was watt-roy and siminon would play the guitar part of guns of brixton live while strummer played the bass part.As for magnificent 7 i dont reckon he could have nailed it live,ill download the bootleg now though as this has always been an argument i have wanted to defeat since i thought simmo looked so cool.

I swear I've seen him do magnificent 7 live...nut maybe not.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cytania Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) Guns Of Brixton bassline is based in yer basic reggae. Throughout the song it goes. ------------------- -------444-------- -2---5------5-222- ------------------- Occasionally the groove emphasis on 5th fret G for the raised vocal bits. If it were a classic 70s Top Ranking type reggae it would have a second part like this. ------------------- -------222-------- X2 -0---3------3-000- ------------------- I suspect that's what's used in 'Invasion Of The Estate Agents' and 'Dub Be Good To Me'. Unless anyone knows better... Edited December 6, 2008 by cytania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
