Kept Late After Class Again

[toobfreak]

As a growing boy, I was always kept after school for extra training by Miss Padderwhack,
usually at least twice a week, but I never understood what it was I had done so wrong.

We never really covered very much new material, but I got good grades, so I learned not to complain too much.

I've never felt that Michael Anthony got the credit he deserved as a bass player.

Sure, but I meant by the fans and media. When thinking of bassists, people might think of Chris Squire, Stanley Clarke, Miroslav Vitous, or John Paul Jones, but I never hear anyone mention poor Michael.

Not funny.

admittedly Anthony was shorted Toob.....such is the fate of many bassists being in the back of the band , not out front....

rhythm section was always something heard, not seen.......

buthcha know what? watch when folks dance, they move to the rhythm , not what's going on out front......

Well, VH was best known for its 5 minute FM and MTV hit tunes, not for long instrumentals, drum solos or breakout bass rifts. Had they been more unstructured and individualistic, Anthony would have garnered a lot more interest.

and i'd have to agree Toob, especially being the whole MTV was a canned sales pitch from day one........but all these bassists moved on, as well as Anthony (he shined in Chickefoot!) .....and some even pooned themselves.....aka Stu Hamm's (Satrinai's bassist) 'no radio album'........~S~
