Tina Weymouth Tribute Film

[@hunterIII-vr4nq]

Personally speaking, as part of Tom Tom Club/ Talking Heads "Speaking in Tongues" Tour Crew, Tina and Chris are some of the nicest people I have ever met! Certainly, it was the greatest music experience of my life.The groove that Tina and Chris hold down is monsta slick. Love (and miss) yawl!

[@gregoryvanderpas4176]

Cool comment. This was a great video showing musicians following the passion of music and having success in not just one band but two, then after having kids and not one mention of the dark years of drugs you hear with some many rock stars. Thanks for the great music.

Tina is just mind blowing to me. I practiced drums for my entire youth and started playing gigs in 11th grade. It was all about chops, technique, and playing other peoples music exactly the same as the records (or cassettes when they appeared). Along comes a rookie bass player and she puts all that training to shame with an artful and unique feel. Really an amazing person.

[@mlesure5192]

Still my favorite bassist after all these years. Thank you for the music

[@Happyharold666]

i was playing bass in one of my first bands. Hadnt a clue what i was doing but there i was in CB's on stage , when Tina walked passed me heading towards the toilets and gave me a 'thumbs up' and a smile. a righteous broad 💜

@@Mark-bw1wx oh thats disappointing. I had no idea that things had taken a dive in the relationship. I also had no idea that David suffered Autism. To be honest I always thought he was much like myself, not all that socially confident or prefering to stay out of the limelight? Either way without getting into the personal stuff between the three of them I'm glad that we can see and hear stories of what occured and understand them better. I've watched many tv interviews of David recently. Its changed my perspective of him. He's a very humorous, creative and interesting person. And I've learned more about the meaning behind the Big Suit! 😉

When Stop Making Sense hit the theaters in 1984 our gang raced to the first midnight showing. It was an event. I'm 63. Last night my wife and I streamed the movie and rode that time machine back to our much younger college years. It was a moving experience. One thing I was truly knocked out by was Tina's bass playing. Just nailed down the groove. I was reminded just how much her playing brought the Talking Heads music to life.

Tina's an Awesome Bass Player, Her Syncopated Bass Lines Drove All Her Songs. Love Her Style. Thanks for Tribute.

[@thomasharper2830]

I'm pleased to have found this video, which is a fine tribute to a remarkable performer. One of the best gigs I ever saw in over 45 years of gig-going was the Talking Heads & Tom Tom Club double-header at London's Wembley Arena in July 1982. I and three friends drove 120 miles on spec and managed to get seats high at the side overlooking the stage. Simply fantastic. This is saying something because my main interest was - and still is - progressive rock, but I just cannot argue with music and performance of this quality whatever the genre.

[@Joetime90]

I'm a big prog rock lover and play bass, but I always enjoy that simple stuff now and then. That, and I'm not that skilled to play Rush and Yes with the precision I want 😂 But being simple on bass is sometimes all you need. Sting and Tina and some others prove that point.

[@dasbof]

There is music between the notes. Her bass lines are so good in that they give the other instruments a place to shine and in all becomes one big perfect sound. That is rare to have.

I was a freshman at RISD in 1980. Imagine the 'frisson' back then for a band that was formed and played right there for the very first time. We were lucky kids, for the music from the period was so amazing. When we think of Joy Division, all the "new wave" that came after, reggae, ska, motown, and people like Laurie Anderson, Prince, Grace Jones, Eno, Bowie, we were so very, very lucky.

How could you NOT notice Tina in Talking Heads. She was adorable back then, and she was no slouch for a beginner bass player. She could groove with the best players of the time. Talking Heads were such a huge band back in the day, and not one person in that band just filled a spot. Tina deserves every bit of recognition!

[@jolla9963]

I was at that first show at CBGB in June 1975, with the Ramones (also my first time at CBGB, but far from last). My memory of Tina was the way she was staring at Byrne during the songs, nearly unblinking,, to keep up with his quirky playing.

During a break I noticed a striking blond woman checking out my bass which has leather wallet style carving on the front. She even told me her name was Tina but I didn't make the connection. I have the dubious claim to fame of asking Tina Weymouth if she was a bass player.

Me too. I was at a party - Silicon Valley - 1984. My boss wanted me to hear the first track of an LP, a ditty called Psycho Killer. Mind you, we had undoubtedly partaken of one or more kinds of music-appreciation enhancers. We listened to the tune many times.

I think this is what it looks like when you are just a regular person who loves music. She is not only a good bass player but seems to be an even better human and to me that matters more than the musical ability.

[@TheJonathanNewton]

What strikes me is how much of her playing is about the notes she *doesn’t* play, as well as the ones she does. It’s the same with her sound; it doesn’t take up a lot of space on the frequency spectrum, but does a tremendous amount in the space it occupies. It’s all part of the minimalistic roots of the band so evident on the first two albums. And it’s a totally unique approach to bass playing that really makes her stand out. She simply does the opposite of what most bass players do.
