"Well, your friend would have Bell's Palsy, which is a facial paralysis, not "Balls Pelsy" like we're joking about here." Toejam's attempt at sensitivity.
Phil Lynott was proof you could groove balls on bass with a pick!
Alot of players think otherwise. I can hang with anyone on bass with my fingers or a pick. Sometimes I prefer a pick depending on the music, tone/vibe I'm going for.

I agree with you Bill, there are some songs our band wrote that we all felt the bass player needed to use a pick on. It gives the bass line a more percussive agressive feel. Being a 3 piece we have to use whatever we can to maintain the entegrity and emotion of the piece.
I like stuff from all decades. 80's cuz I was a teen and thats what I was into, 70's cuz it had Zep and Sabbath, 90's cuz it had the underground scene, 2000's cuz theres lots of good metal everywhere. Lucky me. I get more out of it all than people who like that bit or this bit. I don't need to pine for the good ol' days, as they are still going on for me.
So I'll agree with all who are saying AC/DC and Skynyrd and Zeppelin rocked and so on. Whole hearted agreement. They rocked all right.
Want more good music?? Get the new Blood Red Throne CD -> Come Death. It kicks ass.
4 chords?
How about "Immigrant Song" or "Wanton Song" by Zep with ONE chord verses?
...the defense rests, your honor............
Listening to an FM radio "History of Rock" program on Zep right now.
Interviews, and songs...it's amazing how many chops were borrowed
from them, the first true heavy metal band.
Edit: They still sound like sh*t, live, like they were fried when they they performed.
Like many here I seen many bands starting in late 78 to present. The ones that stick out has a SHOW. Judas Priest Screming for Vengeance, Ozzy Dairy of a Mad Man ( with Randy), Triump Thunder Seven, Tesla Bust a Nut, Tesla the first reunion tour, Don't Flame me Kid Rock every time I've seen him he puts on a SHOW. Iron Madien Number of the Beast thats some that stick out right now in my head.
