[quote name='lowdown' post='368342' date='Jan 2 2009, 12:55 PM']Let us all know when you do your next live TV..
Backing turns, with one 3 hour rehearsal the same afternoon.
Sight reading and busking other peoples arrangements you aint played before.
Not wanting to f**k up with bum notes or clams on live TV., and get the job done.
We might take you serious.
I have been friends with Dave for over 20 odd years..
And i can tell you he has plenty of charisma, and is a very sharp guy.

Ok you have shot me down in flames, i'm not disputing he's an excellant player and a hard working guy, i have seen him do a live show and he was the same. along with Pino. John Entwistle and John Deacon who are legends. their playing aside they where all pretty static people. a guy in work came up to me one day and said, your in a band are'nt you, what do you play. Bass. ah right thats easy is'nt it you just stand there and play four strings. thats right i said. i could have been there all day talking to him about bass playing but it would'nt have made a bit of difference, if he goes to watch a band the last person he looks at his the bass player. me, i try to move a round as much as i can and may hit the odd bum note here and there but thats my style. i confess to having a few drinks when i OP'd. so i might have gone a little over the top.
