Thunderfingers

It didn’t matter how much chaos there was on stage,
How loud Roger screamed or how much Pete danced,
It didn’t matter how fast and hard the Loon would play,
The Ox was always calm and cool in his stance.

John was so good he made it look effortless and easy,
All the basslines had a groove that I still can’t believe,
It was like he tapped into another part of the universe,
When his fingers galloped on the strings with a mighty heave.

John’s playing almost seems as otherworldly,
His musical range was magnificent and ample,
He and the Loon played with this maximum power,
Just listen to the Real Me as one small example.

John “The Ox” Entwistle was perfect for The Who,
He never danced on stage but he moved your soul,
Thunderfingers was just plain fucking cool!
He is the best bass guitar player in all of rock ‘n roll.
