Bass-less rock

[Brian Cady <brianinatlanta2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gina Vivinetto in the St. Petersburg Times writes on
the new rock bands that don't have or want a bass
player. Here's a paragraph from the article. I'll
leave it to you to note the irony:

"Musically, the sound leaves a bit to be desired. You
can simulate a bass, which is what the White Stripes
do. But sonically, it's just not the same. You're
missing that heavy bottom," he says. "And, secondly,
visually it leaves out an element onstage. Can you
imagine seeing the Rolling Stones without Bill Wyman
standing there, expressionless? Or seeing the Who
without John Entwistle?"
