He is Neo, John Wick, Ted Logan, John Constantine or, in the gaming world, Johnny Silverhand. But is Keanu Reeves also a good bass player?
He noticeably enjoys playing in a band. More precisely in his band, Dogstar, founded in 1991, dissolved in 2002, active again since 2022.
Dogstar are a classic alternative rock band.
The good with him, a video for Fender (not for me) has shown this once again, is how much fun he has playing bass, how much he loves to have the Precision in his hand and to play a song, to write songs, to be in a band.
The most important thing about his playing is: It serves the song. Solid and impeccable. He doesn't indulge in a solo spot, populist stunts or experiments. He is a bass player in a classic alternative rock band and he does this thing well. A lousy rhythm section means a lousy band. It doesn't matter if he's Neo, Wick, Ted or Johnny Silverhand.
