He ranks up there with John Paul Jones, Cliff Burton, Flea, Jack Bruce and Lemmy.<\/p>\n<p>Born in England in 1980, Gary has been a PDX resident since 2006 and an active member of the rock\/punk music scene recording with a wide variety of bands like Green Day, Guided by Voices and Franz Ferdinand while recording and touring with his band, The Cribs.<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">About The Cribs<\/span><\/h1>\n<blockquote><p>The band consists of his twin brother\u00a0<a title=\"Ryan Jarman\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ryan_Jarman\">Ryan<\/a>\u00a0and his younger brother\u00a0<a title=\"Ross Jarman\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ross_Jarman\">Ross<\/a>. Gary is the most political member of The Cribs, and can regularly be heard in interviews criticizing inequality and\u00a0<a title=\"Misogyny\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Misogyny\">misogyny<\/a>\u00a0in the music industry. This could be attributed to the fact that he spent a few years prior to the band&#8217;s success participating as part of the committee that put on the UK&#8217;s first &#8220;<a title=\"Ladyfest\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ladyfest\">Ladyfest<\/a>&#8221; in London,\u00a0and also numerous fundraisers <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gary_Jarman\">around this time.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QcQPTt84h4w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Twin Brothers\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What makes Gary Jarman unique among the wide variety of bass players in rock history is that his twin brother Ryan also plays with him in the same band.<\/p>\n<p>Sure there have been other famous brother duos in bands (Oasis) but the Jarman brothers are an example of what&#8217;s possible when brothers create music together that&#8217;s not fueled by drugs and\u00a0alcohol.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>People think of brothers in bands as a volatile and unsustainable combination, but working together has made us really close. We were insular growing up \u2013 there weren\u2019t many kids in Wakefield into punk rock. When we started the band we were gang-like in our mentality. Ryan is stubborn and very motivated. If we\u2019d both had my personality, we\u2019d have achieved a lot less, but with his, we would have burned bright and short. Both of us can be very up and down, but his arc is slightly wider than mine.<\/p>\n<p>At the\u00a0<em>NME<\/em>\u00a0awards\u00a0<a class=\"u-underline\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/the-cribs\/22323\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">[in 2006, when Ryan threw himself on to the Kaiser Chiefs\u2019 table<\/a>], we were all feeling quite fried after a long and turbulent campaign. Awards ceremonies are naturally quite weird: there\u2019s a lot of industry and congratulatory stuff, so it was a bit of a powder keg. I was terrified and took Ryan to hospital. The doctors were alarmed but he was really flippant about it. I know how Ryan responds to any situation and have a different connection with him from anyone else in the world \u2013 even our brother Ross, who is also in the band, or my wife.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan can be tardy. For some people on the road, it\u2019s an irritant, but to me it doesn\u2019t matter. He doesn\u2019t worry about details; his mind\u2019s always on something more important. He\u2019s the sort of person who will make his own mistakes and learn from them rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2015\/may\/24\/cribs-twins-gary-and-ryan-jarman-special-relationship-for-all-my-sisters\">listen to others.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>What Are The Songs That Changed His Life?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sure he&#8217;s a musical genius and one of the best bass players of all time but what are the songs that have changed Gary Jarman&#8217;s life?<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with NME Magazine Gary dug deep into his past to talk about the songs that changed his life.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The song that made him want to make music<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018(Everything I Do) I Do It For You\u2019 \u2013 Bryan Adams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want the true answer or the cool answer? The real answer was probably that Bryan Adams song. When it came out I was really into it and that Christmas, I believe it was 1991, I got my first bass. I actually built synthetic guitars out of cardboard. The first time I ever made a fake guitar and mimed along in the mirror was to Queen and \u2018Killer Queen\u2019, but the first time I got a real guitar was because of \u2018(Everything I Do) I Do For You\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The song that makes him want to dance<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Girlfriend\u2019 \u2013 The Modern Lovers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo song really makes me want to dance. I danced at my wedding because I had to do it and that was to \u2018Girlfriend\u2019 by The Modern Lovers. That\u2019s the last time I remember dancing and it was under duress! If something comes on I really like, I\u2019d rather just listen to it and rewind it a million times. I danced at my wedding because there was literally no way out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first album he ever bought\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Beneath The Remains\u2019 \u2013 Sepultura<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not exactly indicative of where my head was at the time, but a junkie kid was selling CDs and that was the first CD album that I bought. Prior to that I actually bought \u2018Size Isn\u2019t Everything\u2019 by The Bee Gees on cassette. That was the first time I ever used my own money to buy an album. That\u2019s a great record, a forgotten record by The Bee Gees. If you were to play that record now I could sing line for line easily.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nme.com\/blogs\/festivals-blog\/the-cribs-gary-jarman-on-the-songs-that-changed-his-life-from-hole-to-queen-765389\"> It\u2019s so great.\u201d<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What&#8217;s Your Favorite Cribs Song?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Got a favorite Cribs song?
