John Entwistle, the man was a pure genius of the bass guitar, he brought a unique style to the bass in the same way of what Hendrix did for the electric guitar. I know there are players out there that use the technical aspect of his playing in order to achieve the level that he was at ,but what I try to bring to my interpretation is by channeling the energy that consumed his playing. One can watch videos and copy the records note for note and that's fine, however, I believe that in order to properly serve justice to the music of the WHO, you have to have to capture that same feeling of emotion and raw energy as the real deal. There can only be one WHO. We're just paying homage to sight, sound, and spirit." LONG LIVE ROCK!
