Multichannel mixes only appearing in overpriced box sets has been a constant gripe. Unfortunately, its a relatively small customer base so the record companies seem to be aiming for low volume high pricing rather than trying to encourage more buyers into that market.

There are just too many classic, hooky driving lines to choose from. Today Im going to go for the 2 note line that kicks in at around 4:20 on Heaven & Hell - simple and perfect

Therapy? in Dublin Olympia on Halloween. Outstanding energy from both them and the support band, Enola Gay. Good sized venue (1600) for some jumpy up and down rock so I jumped up and down a lot - intense enough atmosphere for me to foolheartedly venture into the moshpit for a while. Evidently a bad idea because lots of my 52 year old carcass hurts now. My kids loved it though Bass player was solid and affable. Would recommend

Ive got a 7.1.2 system and it sounds really good on that. Detroit Rock City is the showpiece and it sounds as good as you'd hope it would. I reckon its the best Ive ever heard the album sound. Wilson has a golden eared reputation over on the quadraphonicquad.com forum. All of the multichannel remixes of his Ive heard have beeen outstanding, particularly his work with king crimson's back catalogue

Does this count as 1992? The awesome bassline is actually sampled from a 1977 track, Bamba In Dub by The Revolutionaries

Still one of my favourite basslines. He was excellent at glastonbury that year too

My daughter was a big fan a couple of years ago - always seemed somewhat manufactured teenage angsty outrage to me but she convinced me to watch his glastonbury set - hell of a performer. Was impressive and he seemed much more sincere (if rather gushing) live

Hopefully he's jamming with JB somewhere.

Rammstein in Dublin There was a bass player there somewhere but for some reason he wasnt the focus of my attention

I took the kids to see Orchestra Baobab at the Bray jazz festival a few weeks ago. Great vibe and got a primarily grey haired audience up and dancing. The bass was never flashy and just grooved solidly but the rhythm guitarist was an absolute beast - just relantless Not my vid but from a gig a week later

Its a shame you already have a bass player, sounds like great fun. Drop me a line when you have a gig and I'll take a trip in from the culchielands

I remember seeing them at the naval club in tonypandy - 1988 at a guess. Rocky ran down the tables, knocking loads of people's drinks over in the process. He was taught some manners come load out time apparently. They also didnt have enough material to fill their slot and were ordered back on stage, where they played an awful 12 bar for about 10 mins. It was, oddly, a really fun gig

now, some three plus decades from my teens, almost all of the bassists posted have been influences on my playing however, someones mention of sisters of mercy reminded me: Patricia Morrison had a huge influence on me in my late teens, admittedly not in terms of bass playing though edit: possibly in terms of right hand technique.........

whoops, missed one
