What bands do you think are excellent except for one particular member. For example: I would like Phish a lot more if they had a different Bass player, I am not a Phan of Mike Gordon's bass playing. On a similar note the Edge annoys the hell out of me in U2. I still enjoy both bands but i would enjoy them much more with those guys replaced.

Clarence Clemons. E Street Band
I love saxophone, but there's a certain style that some rock bands use that is just corny and cheesy. Its like this hyped-up 1950's "good - timey" style that sounds like it's a parody of 1950s rock and roll. It sounds like it belongs on a Fats Domino record. It sounds fine on oldies records, but it sounds awful in a modern day rock band. I just can't stomach it.

Sorry, but before I answer this question, can you explain the problem with Mike Gordon's bass playing? I'm just curious.

really fucked up. Clarence Clemons is the one who elevates E Street Band from being another snoozer dad rock band to an exciting if somewhat guilty pleasure band. absolutely adore him and his "cheesy" saxophone.

Agree and disagree. Agree that he is fantastic but disagree that hey would be just another dad rock band without him.

Shame. Listen to the solo below (you should really listen to the entire track...but for now, just the solo). Corny? Cheesy? "Good-timey"? A "parody"?

Jesus.

Listen. And open your mind a little.

Mike Gordon always sounds like he's playing the same basic thing it goes squish squish squisha squisha I can't get technical sorry i can only describe what i hear. i have seen them many times since 1992 so i do like the band his playing though annoys me sometimes. His antics don't help me like him but his playing really just aggravates me.

Huh, he uses the flanger (and whatever other effects) on some songs, I assume you're talking about Down with Disease in particular? I've only seen them live once I can't remember if he's heavy on that effect live.

One of my favorite cuts by them with his bass being front and center;

As to your question, I actually really don't know, no one really bothers me ๐Ÿ˜„
