After you're done with this video, Can you do a video on bass habits of Francis Buchholz of Scorpions?

[@Unonomouse]

Hey man I really enjoy watching this series. Could you do a video covering either Mike Starr or Mike Inez from Alice in Chains? Thanks

[@nikolaiplotnikov7243]

@@Unonomouse Sure.

[@zubrycky]

Finally! Dennis is one of the most underrated bass players of all time.

[@andreasdeutinger7319]

he was great. really good basslines. the backbone of the alice cooper band.

[@galaxyseven]

Yeah, really talented, and also a very nice guy in person.

[@matthewk2261]

Yes. Tremendously underrated and underdiscussed. Great smart creative bassist.

[@Pellefication]

Thanks for bringing Dennis Dunaway to our attention. I have loved the 'Alice Cooper Band' for 50 (!?) years now. Since I was 10 years old in 1972. Then we knew it was a band....not a solo artist. I really like the 'Pritties for you' and 'Easy Action' albums too. 1969 and 1970 respectively. Dennis Dunaway was an innovative bassist who is often forgotten.

[@davejohnson5600]

The creativity and variety of the original A.C. band was exceptional. The songs were great. The sounds, the originality, the combination of old and new styles, the wild lyrical themes, all enthralled me as a kid. The band had some weaknesses, but those records are fascinating and, . . . so well done. It's a shame they could not have made a few more together! Neal Smith turned me from listener, to drummer. I jammed with Dennis all the time in my parent's house. Those bass parts were so musical and so catchy. Thanks to the original band for endless hours of joy, and to my Mom for letting me shake the house!

[@kimholland9316]

My favourite bass player

[@markm1784]

Buxton inspired me to take up the guitar back in the 70s. Several decades later, I got a bass just to see what it was like and Dunaway's technique was amazing. The countermelodies and tone were spot-on. Even live you could get what he was doing, so many bassists have a mushy tone.

[@1965JB]

I learned so much about bass, and music theory in particular, from trying to learn Dennis Dunaway’s bass parts. Those 4 albums with that band are just a great collection, practically a dictionary of great bass lines.

[@mikeskoog6689]

Plus the guy had stage presence and appeal!!!

[@mickcrocodiledundee6353]

Fantastic video Paul, awesome breakdown of Dennis' style. The original Alice Cooper band was one hell of a force of nature.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Awesome, Dennis was a great bassist and definitely an underrated player

[@jeffwise8194]

Growing up and listening to the original band while they made those early albums is a fond memory. Dennis never used his pinky for fretting and still doesn't to this very day. He was always all over that fret board.

[@NIGHTFRIGHT2011]

Great to see one of my all time favourite bassists getting some long overdue recognition. He and Neal Smith combined to produce many highlights on the original Cooper band albums, and for my money, Alice has never found a rhythm section to match them, particularly in his live shows. One notable exception, drummer wise, is the incredible Glen Sobel who currently occupies the stool behind the kit, but no bass players spring to mind.

[@kevinmcc3147]

My preference always been thr original Alice cooper band more so than solo thanks again for the video

[@masbucket3083]

I love Alice cooper there bass lines are so cool!

[@philipholmes5884]

This is an awesome video...i am a guitar player...so i never got into what the bass player was playing...but always knew Dennis played some cool bass lines...I was devastated when the original Alice Cooper group broke up... not even interested in any solo Alice...i bought "Welcome to my nightmare" and pretended it was the original guys playing on it ...i turned into a little psycho for awhile... But i never bought anything from Alice again... got "Lace and whiskey" for a Christmas present and got rid of it... I remember my mom singing to "You and me'' in the kitchen once...i was horrified...

[@mateoito8266]

Generation landslide also has some groovy bass parts

[@MrLive2win]

Remember the album Easy Action- Mr. Dunaway's playing is outstanding on that album too- Like Return Of The Spiders and Lay down and die Goodbye.

[@GuyXVIII]

OMG the "Elected" riff blew my ass into space! Running only thirds, that is insane! And seriously, if any of you don't know the band Alice Cooper, go check em up. Love It To Death is a good point to start.

[@philipholmes5884]

Elected has some awesome bass lines ! "Gutter cat/Luney tune & Dead babies" too !

[@trance9158]

Love Dunaway...second favorite bassist behind Bob Daisley! Great video!!

[@MikeGiallo]

there is alice cooper, and there is the alice cooper band, its a shame that one of the best bands of the early 70s ( and one of the most influential ) is obscure by the 80s alice cooper success and the horror gimmick.

[@MariSundell]

Love this comment. I was just explaining to a friend the other day about the Alice Cooper band and it's original members versus the later Alice Cooper. Such a major difference. And as my friend is a bass player I thought it pertinent to introduce him to Jeff Dunaway's magnificence.

[@joaocarlos2352]

FINALLY. ATÉ QUE ENFIM, alguém com inteligência musical para falar de Dennis Dunaway, um dos 10 melhores baixista da história do rock.

[@meniscus70]

Glad to see him finally getting some recognition!

[@binomesprite7829]

Great video. Love the original Alice Cooper band. Love it to Death is a great album, my favorite by a long way.

[@jasondoe2596]

Good stuff... as always :)

[@josephalvaro5244]

DD was one of my heroes growing up as a budding musician.

[@NoHealerJustPain]

Another one bass monster player with a pick, to scare funky fingers boys ;)

[@kevinmcc3147]

Thanks for doing Dennis dunaway one of my all time favorite bass players

[@Pogokoala]

WOW the fact that I met him and Alice's daughter for that concert Super Beasto, Bro I didn't know he was old Dennis was around for awhile! I met him as well and hang out with them. The guy is very RIP af for his age.

[@evanhimel7313]

I think you’re referring to Chuck Garric, the singer for Beasto Blanco and Alice’s touring band bassist. Solid player as well and nice guy. He gives mad respect to Dennis always

[@dw8840]

No mention of Dennis's bass in the wah wah pedal on "Unfinished Sweet"?

[@robertwatson5104]

My fave bass player

[@Jake24378]

Great video! I enjoy his style of bass.

[@timkis64]

i discovered the early ACB albums in the early 80s.great stuff.sick, but great.these songs you just played played reactivated my fond memories of love it to death,killer & billion dollar babies.fantastic albums.

[@danscalone8110]

Another great and informative video. I like the historical spin you put into each video, to Thanks, Brother

[@johndrx165]

Big fan of his stuff in those AC albums.

[@foamrob6577]

Soooooo under appreciated as a bass player AND song writer

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

He could kick very high

[@ACG7001]

Finally, also always wanted a guide to sounding like Glen Buxton and Michael Bruce, really cool guitar tones

[@ΚωσταςΣουγλερης]

Can you please make a video about the bassist of zz top i thing its a great idea

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

Right on...Right on... Dusty's bass tone is killer...

[@MarceloSilva-bs7nu]

How to sound like Francis Bucholz ex-former bass of Scorpions tell the basslines of Crazy World him uses Baritone tunning.

[@yourtulpa]

Paul, this is so cool. I really like the way you break down musical habits of all these great players we know and love! Would be mind blowing to see vids on Andy Fraser and Tim Bogert one day!

[@mmeshutoz]

Интересно! Спасибо!!!

[@villelevaniemi2490]

Great video, thank you!

[@davidmcc6666]

And let's not forget the great Chuck Garric. Thank you.

[@degeest5571]

One of my early influences

[@CuzzinVinny100]

Great series! How about how to sound like Graham Maby (of the Joe Jackson band).

[@josephalvaro5244]

Yes yes,Graham Maby.Absolutely killer player.Him and DD were 2 of my favorites in rock as a young bassist.

[@bassonthemark8191]

I still think we need Derek Smalls featured.

[@esposoman]

What about an episode about Noel Redding?

[@brennerwomack6616]

nikolai fraiture of the strokes would be dope for one of these and much appreciated

I m pretty sure Paul can adress bass player outside of the rock scene. Take a chance on verdine White?

Earth wind and fire right? He's up there with bootsy

@@mikefloyd3152 hopefully he is not dead....yet!

[@brennanwashington5917]

You should do Fat Mike from NOFX

[@MichaelDBauer]

I very quickly lost interest once Alice went solo. It was the collaboration of the original band that gave them their genre.

[@professorfelipe8718]

8 Strings in LoveBites? DiamondsRust bass line?

[@waynegram8907]

The DOORS bass lines you should look into because they hired a real bass player and Ray M would write the bass lines. People are Stranger album, Soft Parade album, Waiting for the Sun, etc Often the Bass riff is a Groove rhythm that is completely different than the guitar part and keyboard parts rhythm the bass is a groove rhythm looping

[@nupe736]

do markus grosskopf from heloween

[@user-lg1oo6ev7k]

Alice Cooper

[@alainbrasseur7083]
