Victor Wooten, on bass.

Wooten has as much soul as a slice of wonder bread. He's all flash, but not
very musical.

Ron Carter, on the other hand, is a god.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZDUE...utube.com/watc...

Wooten needs to grow up.

Well, I thought it was cool, but then I am easily amused

And as to cool, remember what the great David Lee Roth said. "It's not
weather you win or lose that counts, it's how cool you looked while
you played the game." - Hide quoted text -

Oh, I think his vids are cool too, and I'm glad you posted them.

Wooten had a deffinate following. I've seen him play with Bella Fleck
and the Flecktones a couple times. The guy is great. Probbly one of
the greatest Upright bassists of the last century, Ray Brown did a
stage trio with Edgar Meyer and Vic who was then just barely 19.
Later, in an interview, Ray said that Vic was one of the most
"dedicated players that will make a name for himself on the electric
bass", or something like that.

I have it on a VCR tape of the Lonsome Pine Special program I racked
off PBS several years ago.

Somebody shaved off a clip from it and posted it. Here he is doing a
duet with Edgar Meyer. This IS cool.
