Tony Franklin • Power Of Simplicity • 1990 Jam

In this short jam from 1990 with Carmine Appice, I demonstrate the power of a simple bass pattern (though I add a couple of embellishments!). Can you guess which tune it is? There's a clue right at the end.

[@RC32Smiths01]

There's so much that can be done with simplistic compositions. Fun and accessible, while still being groovy as ever.

[@FretlessMonster]

Absolutely

[@Al_Mac125]

Tina Weymouth, a expert in simple hook basslines, Pshyco Killer, Burning Down the House etc etc. Great band too .

[@FretlessMonster]

For sure!!

@@FretlessMonster It’s a lyric of the song, Tony! When do we get a chance to see you playing in The Netherlands?

[@paulwatanabe3339]

Not too much is important and be simple (same as our life) On Firm concert in London , we can see Mr Tony plays synth. It looks like our Japan's 2nd proud Roland Jupiter8. Is it correct ?

[@FretlessMonster]

Yes indeed. Love the Jupiter 8.

[@JohnAdams-we9gs]

Good stuff! Do you and Carmine ever get to jam anymore?

[@FretlessMonster]

Yes. We jammed at Rock Camp recently.

Right. More or less 🤩👍🏻

[Someone send this to Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx so they too may learn how to groove.]

[@ivanalf7299]

Ha-ha-ha. In the nineties I was a child of ten and played an imagination guitar only. When some played the real guitar %)

[@FretlessMonster]

It was fun I’m sure.

[@massapower]

That's what DRUMS are supposed to sound like.😁👍🏻👍🏻
Can't stand this over processed productions today where the kick drums sound like cardboard boxes 🙄😶

[@FretlessMonster]

I have to agree
