Nunca nadie se acuerda del bajista | Javier Ramírez Cha! | TEDxIbero


yes
what a pleasure to meet you is a pleasure to be
here and I want to tell you that when
I was younger with my friends
we always have this fascination for the
rock and everything that had to do with
rock and roll biographies all the
trivia imaginable good done is something
that is still happening me still up to the
date I love all that kind of data
seemingly useless
I love we shared this guy a lot
of information of who had produced
who had made the cover because
the sargent pepper’s portal was so
complicated who were all the
characters that were there because of
suddenly having made a cover like that
it was nothing more viruses crossing the street
what message were they giving us in the
back was dead Paul was still
live et cetera etcetera like things that
we were fascinated
and to date but good one of the
games that we loved to play was that
we had to see who knew more
alignments of complete bands so
for example to see give me the alignment
complete queens runs time to very
easy
freddie mercury singer brian may
guitarist the drummer was in the
tourist was the drummer roger taylor and
the bass player
he recorded was and in that someone arrives
acidic and the bassist that neither the bass player nor
you hear it’s bigger, it’s the bass and
I do not have life like they are the bass
with
that’s the bass and daddy that’s the bass and
it is played by John Deacon and he composed the song
He too
and then yes the truth is that the bassists
because we figured much in the world
the music unless it’s gene
simmons of kiss or unless it’s
motorhead lemmy or that is quintile of
the breeders or tina weymouth of the
talking heads or sir paul mccartney the
true the bass player because he’s always like
there is not there the bassist especially if
we go in this as
that will be like this model like this
scheme that drew bands like led
zeppelin or as it gives June where we have
as four very clear personalities
there is the singer there is no
curiously in this the two were blond
both shirtless or the shirt open
until the third button trousers a
very tight, they were like
brothers of thor did not look like
led singers zeppelin or bass
then there is the mysterious guitarist not
the guitarist who has all the
concept the guitarist who makes the
songs the guitarist who has like
the production that is like the one that is
behind all this and that says let’s
get us to a castle to record but
We are going to take some cows because
cows are at the same time good
lucky but they are good for sound
Anything were were 70 was
another era is the drummer no that is
this guy that we do not know if he already came like this
factory or because of both drums
opus and who knows what happened
surely in all these stories that
there is that televisions are thrown
from the hotel rooms is the
drummer
and next to the drummer who is always
as the bass player
if we continue a bit talking about rajoy and
if we continue a little talking about led
zeppelin to rayon bass player between soul
he just says born to him in juan
the quiet and john paul jones there is a
very good anecdote that when he entered
the led zeppelin to the hall of fame of
rock and roll as he
he liked how good it is that
the press wants us because the led
zeppelin was a group that really
press did not want much but what more
like he gave was that his fellow
group will remember him and that still
they had their phone to invite him to the
led induction ceremony
zeppelin to the hall of fame those are
the bassists and somehow the
instrument and reflects our
personality as a musician you have a
very intimate relationship very intense with your
instrument to the degree that it becomes
a part of you only part of your
body becomes a part of your
temporary awareness if any part of
your spatial awareness is an object that
will somehow channel your
feelings your emotions in the case of
bassists costing us jobs
express them, it’s something incredible,
and well I do not think there are many people
in this world that when I was a child
when they asked him hey what are you going
do you say great I already know bassist
not if you imagine that you’re going to be in a
rock band and you imagine singing
stadiums and you imagine yourself throwing yourself a single
before thousands of people but not only
under when there is sun or below is when
people go out to have some chelas not
so then well in my case
example I came to the instrument of a
accidentally I came from a
family of dentists all wanted that
I was a dentist, my mom, my dad, my
uncles my aunts everybody was a dentist
I was surrounded by dentists
once my best friend just walked
a band when we were in high school
it was a progressive rock band that
called heavy plastic
and in heavy plastic there were three guitars
acoustic there were four drum flutes and
the group leader that we said the
potatoes played the organ and played the
low with my feet then my friend
he said is not that my friend yesterday so much
amazing name they will not see what voice
has and suddenly I came to cilic habana
there is a search with so much music what
worse than they have heard in their life the
truth there I realized that mine is not
It was the sung but they seem likeable
then like this guy the potatoes
I played the organ
and played the bass with the 10,500 because
you do not buy a bass not for me
I can concentrate more on playing the
organ and also played a melodic in
a very strange group outside right now
it would be good
but good at the end of the day
playing bass my dad told me my mom
he told me is because I wanted a
my dad’s battery told me
as a battery to start what
scandal in the house I do not have to check
the bacteria if you want there is the
acoustic guitar of your uncle Miguel
It’s also convenient for you to go to the
meetings and big to all your
friends and all your friends and grandmothers
so obvious you take
I did not like the guitar but that’s when
they lent me a bass and I started playing
with my friends from javi plastic me
loved the instrument I really liked
I felt like a connection
I do not know could not say as with another
person is persistent a very connection
special and especially of being touching
with the drummer that connection that
between bassist and between
drummer is something very special of
suddenly begins to touch they start to
know begins to tie the thing and
are you doing as an incredible base
so that all the other members of the
group the singer and guitarist can
do what they want so they can
develop your maximum potential as
musicians
and I think this is kind of like
microcosm what is happening there the
bassist is like there with the drummer
can alone so they can
develop they know that they are supported by
the other side the bassist has the best
seat of the house is next to
drummer is watching you all
is not with the need of I have to
be rediscovering everywhere
I have to be dreaming all the time
quiet watching everything from afar
what is happening
and good also one of the parties
sad to be bearish is that
we are playing with your friend the
drummer creating amazing you them
wide movement is very good at
drummer but there are many places
where the bass
it does not sound, it does not distinguish, you do not know
nothing of what you are touching then
Well, it does not matter if the bassists
they do not turn around to see us at concerts
if you do not understand what we are touching
they do not even know what we call ourselves
but I think if there is a very
important of all this whistling the
low maybe you do not hear it but if
you feel it, I think that’s one thing
very important in life to be able to leave you
feelings to people is why you
they will remember how they exist
feel then the next time you see
a good bassist that someone tells them
hi how are you doing what you do that is
bassist aires- bass player what’s your name already
many learn the name of the bassist not
be bad wave please and well that
listen feel and transmit that group
of that little bass player that all
we are inside thank you very much
