You are of course entitled to your opinion, and your feelings are valid. For me, I don't really believe Elton John thinks it's alright to fight on a Saturday night, or that The Proclaimers really would walk 1,000 miles, or that Sting really thought every little thing she did was magic. I think it's possible for a lyricist/author/screenwriter to write a story about characters, without necessarily sharing the opinions of those characters. I don't think it's necessary to agree with the sentiment of a song to perform it. Musical theatre is on my side here π

My old metal band from a few years ago with a song wot I wrote. During the studio sesh, I foolishly left the bass solo until last meaning my fingers were shot, so it's not exactly how I played it live. I never had a problem getting 'attack' being a finger player. Basses, always one of my Shukers. Live, depended on the gig, but usually a tuner > distortion > BDI21 > PA.

Is British rock and metal now a cottage industry?

First post of this thread: Flea commented on how all the big rock bands such as RHCP, Metallica, Foo Fighters, U2 are still going and are the only bands that can fill big arenas. As if a wall was erected in the late 90βs and no one can get over it. -

According to the Beeb, Delta variant cases have risen by 75% and the Welsh First Minister reckons they're at the start of a third wave. What this actually means in real figures I don't know. -
Share Pederson - Vixen - could slap, pop, and tap with the best of them. I had a recording of Vixen supporting The Scorpions at Hammy O in '89 and she does an awesome bass solo. Can't think of another bassist in a mainstream band who was doing that kind of thing at the time apart from Billy Sheehan? The clip below is a bit later.

Depends what is meant by 'influential'. Sid Vicious probably inspired a lot of people to play bass.
