John Entwistle RIP

He'll be missed. I bought his first solo effort album some time ago. All that's in storage but I look forward to sitting down with a glass of single malt and spinning it end to end. He helped move bass playing into a more creative, melodic element and was one of the greats.

I'll miss the unique texture that his bass playing provided.
George Harrison, John Entwistle this is becoming quite a year of loss.

Not to mention that half of The Ramones are dead now. R.I.P. Dee Dee.

Wow. A day's gone by and there are only a handful of posts regarding JE. That's as sad as his passing.

John was quiet and unassuming as a member of The Who, as he let his bass do his talking for him. He took the bass guitar to a whole other level in rock music. Johns bass lines were both complex and rhythmic. John was truly the Eric Clapton of the bass. The next time we hear a clap of thunder it may just be John cranking up the bass one more time with George, Jimi, Stevie Ray, Janis, Keith and all the other greats who have past on to that Great Gig in the Sky. Let's all raise a glass to John Entwhistle. Rock on John, Rock on!
