    Love Jeff. I think he trys to keep a low profile and he's very good at it.

    I met him once after a Three Fish show way back in the day and he asked me to hold his Martin acoustic while he took a picture with some other fans. Dude is the coolest!

    Yeah, please post. Any chance there's a guy holding his guitar in the background? :P

    Cuz bass players are the ones you're supposed to 'secretly' love...he's amazing, put out his own album ala Trent Reznor-playing all the instruments himself AND singing.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Jeff Rocks always has always will. I do agree that he should have a killer bass solo on a song. Well, we did get one on "Save you"though.

    They should slow the song down (half-time style) during the bass part and Jeff should do an extended solo, then speed it back up again and go into the end of the song. That might dominate.
    Good evening...

    Ha ha I love that from Touring band 2000. :D He has a smile on his face like a kid on Christmas morning as Ed points to him.

    On a side note, somone mentioned Tone. Jeff's solo album was really cool I thought. I enjoyed it.

    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

    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?
