    He's absolutely my favorite! I love him - he's really entertaining to watch... Especially when he plays that big bass guitar. (the floor one...) :D

    does anyone know why jeff uses that rug during concerts?

    I really don't know why but I had thought the same thing when my son and I were at the Newark show. My son is 14, used to play cello and now plays bass and he thought the rug was so the upright wouldn't slide on the floor.

    pretty logical guess.
    i originally thought that it was for his back, but jeff jumps around just as much as ed on stage, so i doubt that's what it's for

    Bass players never get the props they're due (John Entwistle). I've always loved Jeff's cool demeanor while he jams. Plus, after all these years he's still easy on the eyes (and I'm 41!).

    Jeff is still appreciated i think, in Buffalo he was doing his classic amp jump for at least a few songs. And he and stone were into it together as usual

    Jeff is a badass.

    Love Eddie's quote from the Gorge 2005: "Jeff skateboarded here from Montana." (That was the Gorge show, right?)

    My 7 year old wants a bass guitar for his birthday.
    I asked him why?

    love it!

    2 reasons I picked up a bass guitar in the early 90's

    Jeff Ament
    Tim Commerford

    they are the 2 reasons I still play bass - Jeff rocks.
    keep turning crank!

    Word.
    I think we could all agree
    it's time to bring back the hat.
    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.

    Amen to that. When I think of Jeff I think of Jeff in the hat. And in shorts.
    I heart Jeff.

    I think he is getting really handsome, especially without the pumpkin on his head. Like hello there.

    Such a fantastic bass player! He absolutely kills it when they cover "The Real Me". Entwistle would be proud
