Happy Birthday Juan Alderete 🔥
(September 5, 1963)

Juan Alderete, the highly respected American bassist known for his work with Racer X, The Mars Volta, The Scream and numerous progressive, experimental and alternative projects...🎸🔥

In 1985, while studying at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, Alderete met guitarist Paul Gilbert and co-founded Racer X alongside Scott Travis and Jeff Martin. Their debut, “Street Lethal,” arrived in 1986, launching a career that would combine technical musicianship with hard rock intensity...⚡🤘

Alderete later joined The Scream with Scott Travis, releasing “Let It Scream” in 1991. He also became involved with Big Sir and a wide range of experimental projects before joining The Mars Volta in 2003. During his decade with the band, he played on landmark albums including “Frances the Mute,” “Amputechture,” “The Bedlam in Goliath,” “Octahedron” and “Noctourniquet.” 🔥

His extensive career also includes collaborations with Omar Rodríguez-López, Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine, B’z, Stevie Salas and many other artists. In 2017, he was announced as the bassist for Marilyn Manson.

Happy Birthday Juan Alderete 🎸
(September 5, 1963)

Juan Alderete, the highly respected American bassist known for his work with Racer X, The Mars Volta, The Scream and numerous progressive, experimental and alternative projects...🎸🔥

Born in Los Angeles, Alderete grew up surrounded by music. His father introduced him to jazz, while his brother exposed him to progressive rock through bands such as King Crimson, Yes and Rush. Those influences would eventually become part of his remarkably versatile playing style.

In 1985, while studying at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, Alderete met guitarist Paul Gilbert and co-founded Racer X alongside Scott Travis and Jeff Martin. Their debut, “Street Lethal,” arrived in 1986, launching a career that would combine technical musicianship with hard rock intensity...⚡🤘

Alderete later joined The Scream with Scott Travis, releasing “Let It Scream” in 1991. He also became involved with Big Sir and a wide range of experimental projects before joining The Mars Volta in 2003. During his decade with the band, he played on landmark albums including “Frances the Mute,” “Amputechture,” “The Bedlam in Goliath,” “Octahedron” and “Noctourniquet.” 🔥

His extensive career also includes collaborations with Omar Rodríguez-López, Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine, B’z, Stevie Salas and many other artists. In 2017, he was announced as the bassist for Marilyn Manson.

Alderete’s adventurous approach to the bass has made him much more than a traditional rock bassist—he is a musician constantly pushing boundaries...🎸⚡
