Such bassplaying we'll never see again.
Then again, Deaky certainly had his own style to contribute, but nowhere close to John E.
Somewhere in Heaven, Freddie is forming a supergroup with Jimi Hendrix (guitar), John Entwhistle (bass), John Paul Jones (drums), Janis Joplin (vocals w/Freddie) and John Lennon (piano, vocals, songwriting, backwards messages). And it will be sensational.[/QUOTE]
Somebody had better tell John Paul Jones that:-
A: He plays drums.
B: He's dead !
The shock could kill him (again, apparently)
Unless, Suigi, you meant to say John Bonham !

No, I think you'd definately have the Entwistle / Moon rythm combination up there, with Janis Joplin joining Freddie on vocals with Hendrix on guitar.

Indeed. At least John makes some moves during shows. The famous gay run, the hip hops, spinning on one foot, bass-throwing etc. :-P
That makes Entwistle quite boring... [/QUOTE]

John Entwistle was one of the LEAST boring people I have ever met. Rather than talk about himself and The Who, he was always willing to be drawn on his love of fishing, his interest in millitaria and also anything that you could possibly collect from toy cars to records. He had an amazing interest in the local music scene in and around the Cotswolds and would happily walk up to a young pub band and ask them if he could play with them on a couple of numbers.
He was a great guy, a great bassist and an even better friend; I miss him.

I think I have read somewhere before that John Entwistle was mistaken for John Deacon before (probably because of the shared first name) - John E is about 20 pounds heavier, and about a foot taller, and played a heavier bass, so when the confused person said to John D "I think you're a great bass player", John E is jokingly meaning that the person must have actually meant that HE was the great bass player - hope this makes sense?!?!
