Annoying Twit Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Some forums give people different textual ratings depending on how many posts they have made. On The Hollies forum, the ratings from the largest number of postings to the least are: Lead Guitar Rhythm Guitar Acoustic Guitar Bass Guitar The cheeky b'stards!

Hobbayne Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I know one of them was in Crosby Stills and Nash. Thats all my Hollies knowledge. Oh, And they were named after a 50's bloke who played a Fender Strat and wore glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) They criticise Nash for not giving The Hollies the respect that they deserve. Given their cheekiness concerning bass, I feel they don't have a leg to stand on. Edited July 30, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Damn good bass player, Eric Haydock. I Can't Let Go has to be one of the greatest basslines of the era - Fender Bass VI I believe (that's not him in the video). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN8KraEvsnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Saw them at Chelmsford about 12 years ago (ish) Had Carl Wayne on vox and Mike D'abo on keyboards. Absolutely brilliant. Tony Hicks still looked about 25 (the bugger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
