John Alec Entwistle est un bassiste de rock anglais né le 9 octobre 1944 à Chiswick, dans la banlieue de Londres et mort le 27 juin 2002 à Las Vegas. Connu principalement, pour avoir été le bassiste du groupe mythique The Who, il fait partie de ces musiciens de légende dont la virtuosité et la créativité ont énormément apporté au monde de la basse. Cours de basse⎥Blog BassistePro.com – Cours de basse⎥apprendre la guitare basse avec un Pro⎥ ——->>>>>>> Partagez cet article sur les réseaux sociaux afin qu’il puisse aider d’autres bassistes motivés à progresser ! John Entwistle, sa carrière Enfant unique d’un père trompettiste et d’une mère pianiste, John a surtout été élevé par sa mère, à South Acton, suite à la séparation de ses parents. Dans les années 40, le divorce était une chose assez rare et cela a certainement contribué à façonner la personnalité introvertie et stoïque d’Entwistle. Il commence à prendre des cours de piano à l’âge de 7 ans, mais cette expérience ne s’avère pas très concluante. Il n’apprécie pas tellement cet instrument, et lui préfère la trompette. À l’âge de 11 ans, il intègre la Acton County Grammar School et se lance dans l’apprentissage du cor d'harmonie. Il joue alors dans l’orchestre symphonique de l’école, le Middlesex Youth Orchestra. C’est dans cette école, en deuxième année, qu’il rencontre Pete Townshend, avec lequel il va sceller une grande amitié. Les deux compères vont former un groupe de jazz, appelé The Confederates, mais après seulement un concert, ils vont décider de se tourner définitivement vers le rock. À ce moment-là, Entwistle a du mal à s’entendre sur scène avec sa trompette. Après avoir brièvement essayé la guitare, il est rapidement attiré par le son grave et puissant de la basse. Au début des années 60, John Entwistle est remarqué par Roger Daltrey, qui était aussi à la Acton County, une année au-dessus de lui, et qui avait depuis quitté l’école pour travailler dans la tôle. Ce dernier l’invite à faire partie de son groupe, The Detours, et Entwistle en profite pour convaincre Daltrey d'embaucher Pete Townshend. ——->>>>>>> Êtes-vous un fan de John Entwistle ? Dites-le moi dans les commentaire. Naissance de The Who En 1963, Roger Daltrey abandonne le poste de guitariste pour le confier à Pete Townshend et se consacrer pleinement au rôle de leader et de chanteur. C’est au cours de cette année qu’ils décident ensemble de rebaptiser leur formation The Who. Avec l’arrivée du batteur Keith Moon, en 1964, le groupe adopte alors sa forme définitive. En 1965, The Who sort un single, My Generation, qui va les faire connaître, ainsi que leur premier album du même nom. Ce morceau contient l’un des premiers solos de basse de l’histoire, dans lequel on peut y entendre toute la virtuosité et la créativité d’Entwistle. Il utilise une technique de son invention dite de typewriter (machine à écrire), qui lui permet de jouer des notes de façon percutante et très rapide. D’ailleurs, l’un des deux surnoms dont a été gratifié Entwistle au cours de sa carrière était « Thunderfingers », à cause de la rapidité de mouvement de ses doigts. Son deuxième surnom, « The Ox » (le bœuf), était dû à sa carrure, et sa tendance à boire et manger toujours plus que ses acolytes. Sa conduite sur scène en est aussi sûrement pour quelque chose. En effet, il jouait souvent de façon quasiment immobile, créant un contraste original avec la vélocité de ses doigts et le chaos provoqué par les autres membres du groupe. À ce titre, Bill Wyman, bassiste des Rolling Stones, le décrit comme « l’homme le plus silencieux en privé, mais l’homme le plus bruyant sur scène ». Entwistle est aussi l’un des premiers à utiliser des stack d’amplis Marshall afin de s’entendre par-dessus le tapage du groupe. En perpétuelle surenchère de volume sonore avec Pete Townshend et Keith Moon (qui a même utilisé des explosifs sur son kit batterie à l’occasion d’un show télévisé), The Who gagne rapidement sa réputation de « groupe le plus bruyant de la planète ». Il figure même dans le livre Guinness des Records pour avoir atteint 126 décibels lors d’un concert à Londres en 1976. Entre 1965 et 1982, The Who va sortir une dizaine d’albums qui vont connaître le succès. De Tommy (1969), à Quadrophenia (1973), en passant par Who’s Next (1971), ou The Who Sell Out (1967), tous leurs albums vont finir disques d’or ou de platine en Angleterre et aux États-Unis. Carrière solo En 1971, John Entwistle sort son premier album solo : Smash Your Head Against the Wall. En effet, en plus d’être un bassiste de génie et un multi-instrumentiste, Entwistle était aussi chanteur et auteur-compositeur. Il est ainsi à l’origine de nombreux passages chantés dans certaines chansons de The Who, notamment les parties de chant guttural que l’on peut entendre dans Boris the Spider par exemple. En 1990, John Entwistle part en tournée avec The Best, un super-groupe composé de Joe Walsh, Keith Emerson, Jeff Baxter et Simon Phillips. Vers la fin de sa carrière, il forme le John Entwistle Project, avec le batteur Steve Luongo et le guitariste Mark Hitt, qui deviendra plus tard The John Enwistle Band. Ils sont rejoints par Godfrey Townsend (qui remplace Mark Hitt à la guitare) et Gordon Cotton aux claviers. Le 27 juin 2002, un jour avant la première représentation de la tournée de The Who, John Entwistle est retrouvé mort dans sa chambre du Hard Rock Hotel & Casino à Las Vegas. D’après le médecin légiste, le décès est dû à une crise cardiaque suite à l’absorption de cocaïne. C’est le bassiste Pino Palladino qui le remplacera sur scène. ——->>>>>>> Partagez cet article sur les réseaux sociaux afin qu’il puisse aider d’autres bassistes motivés à progresser ! Influences de John Entwistle L’un des musiciens qui a le plus influencé Enwistle a été Duane Eddy. C’est en effet en écoutant les riffs que le guitariste jouait sur les cordes graves de sa guitare que John eut envie de jouer de la basse. Il s’inspira aussi d’autre guitariste de rock and roll comme Gene Vincent ou encore du bassiste de R&B James Jamerson. Instruments John Entwistle fabriqua sa première basse en 1960, inspirée d’une Fender precision. C’est à partir de ce même modèle de Fender et de l’alliage de quatre autres basses qu’il en fabriquera une autre en 1967, baptisé « Frankenstein ». Il utilisera ainsi au cours de sa carrière de très nombreux modèles de basses telles que la Danelectro Longhorn (que l’on peut entendre dans le morceau phare My Generation), des Gibson Thunderbird ou encore des basses Alembic. Mais c’est avec la marque Warwick qu’il va créer un modèle « signature » d’exception : la Status Buzzard Bass. Véritable collectionneur compulsif et concepteur d’instruments, John Entwistle possédait à sa mort plus de 200 basses et guitares. ——->>>>>>> Quelle est votre ligne de basse préféré de John ?

‘Ghostwatch', a Halloween drama in the style of a documentary, reached 11 million viewers on its first and only UK broadcast on BBC 1, on 31st October, 1992. It starred Sarah Greene, Craig Charles, Mike Smith, and - in a stroke of genius - trusted veteran broadcaster Michael Parkinson, who became possessed by the voice of ‘Pipes' as the programme reached its terrifying climax.  The show caused outrage for its disturbing content and the way it blurred the line between fact and fiction. Most of the 30,000 complainants didn't believe the events portrayed were real; they were simply distressed that the BBC would make a horror drama that borrowed the visual language of current affairs television. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the entire cast and crew were holed up in a Chiswick sailing club during the transmission; consider how the show's pioneering style influenced the likes of Derek Acorah and ‘Most Haunted'; and document the astonishing effect the show allegedly had on young viewers…  Further Reading: • ‘Ghostwatch is 30: "It got a reputation as something subversive"' (Radio Times, 2022): https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/ghostwatch-oral-history-rt-rewind/ • ‘30 years on, Ghostwatch is still as haunting as ever' (Little White Lies, 2022): https://lwlies.com/articles/30-years-on-ghostwatch-is-still-a-haunting-watch/ • ‘Ghostwatch' (BBC, 1992): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JkEbGMEXVs This show first aired in 2023 Love the show?

Audio Fiction Trailers: A Cambridge Geek Podcast

”Pizzey - The Revolution” is a drama about the founding of the world's first refuge for women. The play is set in Chiswick, West London in the 1970s: Erin Pizzey is an average housewife, looking ofter small children: she has the idea of opening a drop-in centre where other young mothers can get together for a chat and a coffee - but she little knew what a can of worms she was opening! Soon, women who were victims of domestic violence began to come in looking for a safe refuge, and Erin would never turn them away, so as a result she was continually battling with the authorities because of the incredible overcrowding of the refuge. She had well over 100 women staying there, with their children, in a house certified for a maximum of 35. Attacked from all sides, Erin battled on until finally the Greater London Council agreed to establish refuges throughout London. The play is poignant, at times funny, but always engaging as one woman's battle against the odds to do what is right.

It's TIIIIIMEEEEE for Everything Is Content - Happy Friday EIC heads, we did it, another week bites the dust.As HUGE Motherland fans, we were eagerly anticipating the new BBC spin off Amandaland. The sitcom, produced by another love of our life, Sharon Horgan, follows Amanda (the leader of the alpha-mum's from the original show, with her perfectly blow-dried blonde hair, insufferable lack of self-awareness and yet somehow endearing charm) who is now divorced and has re-located from Chiswick to South Harlesden with her teenagers. She deals with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco-anxiety, as well as establishing herself as an interiors influencer with her new business ‘sensuous'. Joanna Lumley, who plays Felicity, Amanda's mother, is her best self as an ab-fab-esque ex model. The show has ginormous boots to fill, so we ask, has it lived up to the hype?Next up - this year's Grammys... Two people who apparently did not stay long enough to enjoy themselves were Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and his wife Bianca Censori, who showed up, stood for photos and then were apparently- if rumours are to be believed- asked to leave the ceremony following Bianca's outfit reveal. We discuss our reaction to her fit - or lack there of - and ask whether this is a sign of something horrible and sinister happening in front of our eyes, or if it's just a display from two people who are equally invested in giving us all a good show.Lastly, one of the more gorgeous moments from the Grammy's, was Tampa rapper Doechii getting her well-deserved flowers, winning best rap album and in the process becoming one of three women to win the award. We discuss her beautiful speech, her sensational lyricism, and why we are so pleased to have her in our ears.Aaaand, if you're happy to have us in your ears... a 5* review wherever you listen would mean the world, Thank you so much in advance

“It's sort of the same thing that happened with electric cars. Early on, the electric cars were seen as slower and less sophisticated. And now, the most beautiful Porsches, BMWs, Audis and Teslas, they're all electric. And so we're trying to do something similar for hotels to show that  you can offer hospitality for the planet and actually offer better comfort and experience for your guests.” We're in great company with Bruce Becker, the Owner, Architect and Developer of Hotel Marcel, a Brutalist-style architectural landmark reimagined for the eco-obsessed modern traveler, conceived as a dramatic gateway to New Haven with its Bauhaus-inspired design, artfully detailed interiors, and climate-first credo.  Today, Hotel Marcel is making history as the country's first 100% electric hotel operating free of fossil fuels - a true model for sustainability within the hospitality industry, deserving of its numerous awards, accolades and admirers.  In this episode, Bruce shares how his humble approach, having never opened a hotel before, started with first principles and resulted in a beautiful beacon for other hotels to emulate, attracting sustainably-minded and artistically-driven guests to visit.  Top Takeaways [1:45] “I always felt that architects' best work is often their own house or their mother's house.” says Bruce as he shares his story that led him to go beyond his architect and developer titles.  [4:50] The story of Hotel Marcel begins in 1968 as a symbol of progress and hope for the city of New Haven and ends as a symbol of decline and abandonment…that is until Bruce discovered he could purchase it in 2019. [10:00] There's more than meets the eye when it comes to the design and details of the hotel and Bruce gives us both a history and sustainability lesson as to why.  [16:45] There are 2 principles when it comes to Hotel Marcel today - The Brutalist architecture and Bauhaus design of ‘less is more' and the commitment to being free of fossil fuels and instead all-electric.  [25:35] Dine in good company at BLDG, where Chef Megan is “blending architecture, cuisine, and cocktails together in perfect balance,” and seek art in good company with Bruce's wife, artist Kraemer Sims Becker responsible for the creation and curation of the collections seen throughout.        [33:30] When you come to New Haven, Connecticut there are three things you are bound to see - pizza, art and architecture.  [38:40] Do you have a tendency of sleeping through your alarm?

This episode was recorded on January 4th, 2024. Erin Pizzey, born in China with her twin sister Kate, settled in England after a childhood of frequent moves due to her diplomat father. In 1971, she opened the world's first women's refuge in Chiswick, London, and later established numerous shelters during the 1970s and 1980s. Erin became well-known for her court battles over overcrowded refuges and her appearances on top chat shows, earning a reputation as a crusader for the destitute. Her advocacy extended to squatting in properties to provide shelter. Erin brought domestic violence to public attention, compelling authorities to address the issue. She moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the 1980s after receiving death threats for highlighting female-perpetrated abuse, as detailed in her book "Prone to Violence." She returned to London in 1997 and advocated for male abuse victims, becoming a patron of ManKind Initiative and Families Need Fathers. In 2013, Erin joined the advisory board of A Voice for Men and appeared in the 2016 documentary "The Red Pill." In 2023, she was featured in "Erin: Beyond the Bruises." Erin authored several cult classics, including "Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear" and "This Way to the Revolution: A Memoir." She believes domestic abuse is generational and not gender-specific, advocating for multi-generational therapy to break the cycle of violence.   Find more from Erin: Erin in Cassie Jaye's landmark documentary The Red Pill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irVB8b0zhQI Why I loathe feminism by Erin Pizzey: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1215464/Why-I-loathe-feminism---believe-ultimately-destroy-family.html Erin Pizzey documentary: http://film-directory.britishcouncil.org/erin-beyond-the-bruises Erin on family dynamics / the breakdown of the family: https://youtu.be/53Gmx_wfft8 Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7F4GFHI2oY   Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tammy.m.peterson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TammyPetersonPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tammypetersonpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tammy1Peterson Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TammyPetersonPodcast

‘Ghostwatch', a Halloween drama in the style of a documentary, reached 11 million viewers on its first and only UK broadcast on BBC 1, on 31st October, 1992. It starred Sarah Greene, Craig Charles, Mike Smith, and - in a stroke of genius - trusted veteran broadcaster Michael Parkinson, who became possessed by the voice of ‘Pipes' as the programme reached its terrifying climax.  The show caused outrage for its disturbing content and the way it blurred the line between fact and fiction. Most of the 30,000 complainants didn't believe the events portrayed were real; they were simply distressed that the BBC would make a horror drama that borrowed the visual language of current affairs television. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the entire cast and crew were holed up in a Chiswick sailing club during the transmission; consider how the show's pioneering style influenced the likes of Derek Acorah and ‘Most Haunted'; and document the astonishing effect the show allegedly had on young viewers…  Further Reading: • ‘Ghostwatch is 30: "It got a reputation as something subversive"' (Radio Times, 2022): https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/ghostwatch-oral-history-rt-rewind/ • ‘30 years on, Ghostwatch is still as haunting as ever' (Little White Lies, 2022): https://lwlies.com/articles/30-years-on-ghostwatch-is-still-a-haunting-watch/ • ‘Ghostwatch' (BBC, 1992): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JkEbGMEXVs Love the show?

How many times have you looked at a couple and labelled them ‘goals'? Couple goals is a phrase Tom and Giovanna Fletcher are keen to steer clear of, because they acknowledge all relationships go through their highs and lows, and that's ok. In this chat with Fearne, live from the Happy Place Festival in Chiswick, Tom and Gi explain how they manage family time alongside thriving creative careers, as well as why it's so important to be aware of your own difficult behaviours in a relationship. Plus Fearne reveals how Tom played a big part in helping her speak about her own mental health. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

More exercise, more therapy, and less alcohol: these are some of the things artist Tom Grennan knows he needs in order to stay mentally well.

They also share how anxiety manifests for each of them – from crying to trouble sleeping. Plus, how has Tom's mum affected the way he interacts with crowds at his gigs?
