Another funny thing about those basslines.
It’s kind of funny and also a bit sad that when it comes to songs like Billy Jean, Devil went down to Georgia or Ted Nugent stuff, the bassist is almost uncredited. Like who the hell played bass for Michael Jackson anyway? I’d bet it was a different person on each record, if not multiple different people on each record.
Charlie Daniels and Ted Nugent named their bands after themselves, so their players get little recognition. I do think Nugent played bass on some of his songs on the albums though.
But the irony with Ted Nugent is that he wasn’t even the lead singer of his own band for most of its tenure.
Which makes me wonder how he got his band mates go along with naming the band after him, that he wasn’t even the frontman for. I have no knowledge of how he started his band, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s just a massive egomaniac. The guy is a complete toxic waste dump of a human.
