[quote name='EssentialTension' post='900780' date='Jul 21 2010, 10:27 AM']So, on the Youtube clip, is John Scott the bassist or one of the guitarists or none of those? And does Martin Hannett feature at all in the clip?[/quote] Johns playing bass. Martin changed a LOT towards the end, but I'm pretty sure here not on the clip shown.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='900765' date='Jul 21 2010, 09:57 AM']Fair enough. I'd thought it might be Hannett because I believed he was the producer.[/quote] Think youre right there

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='900439' date='Jul 20 2010, 08:16 PM']And I think the bassist was [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Hannett"]Martin Hannett[/url].[/quote] Nah its a guy called John Scott, who played guitar and bass on the record. I worked with him for a while, good musician ( and an Albert Lee fan) I'll ask him about that bass next time I see him, though knowing him, it will most likley be a borrowed one.

LOVIN' your playing Mike,(obviously) but Faaaaaakkk me, that drummer!! he's a bit handy inhe? W

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='893969' date='Jul 13 2010, 05:37 PM']I got sacked from a band who were very interested in the "pulling power of being in a band" thing (I wasn't) Second gig, after mucho practice, I was quite comfortable with the material, cranked the Trace, and went at it. By all accounts, I played out of my shoes. Lots of people said "Where'd you get him from?" Then I got the boot!(and promptly joined a much better band!) I think I inadvertently bruised a few insecure egos that night. Which is odd, because normally everyone ignores me![/quote] I like that one! such justice,yet in some way, injustice.....still you got in a better band ,so result EH?

[quote name='OldGit' post='891083' date='Jul 10 2010, 09:31 AM']Goodness, Lighten up. We've covered this subject a number of times, It's not at all childish as "getting women" is often cited as one reason for playing in a band. Indeed for playing any instrument. Sure it's usually lead singers who get the attention but that's the point of the thread.[/quote] Goodness, I'm as lightend as could be! OG BTW you'll know who Chick Murray is surely?

[quote name='teen t-shirt' post='890893' date='Jul 9 2010, 10:38 PM']... any attention from the ladies?? just curious because my girlfriend always says she loves me playing and thinks i look really good when i play and its one of the first things she liked/noticed/got hit over the head with like a primal cave man/fell in love with about me... just curious as to wether your plank spanking antics have ever gotten you any attention from the females of our species... and for the ladies amongst us the same question... but obviously unless you drink out of that tap has it ever gotten you some male attention... (why you would want it i dont know but hey what ever floats your boat) Comments and stories please... [/quote] Oh Good Christ.....has it really come to this? As that great Edinburgh comedian Chick Murray, said ,during his Headmaster portyral during "Gregorys Girl" 1981 (?) ......while playing the Piano....& interuped....by two pupils with a message for him.... "Go Away, small boys" Oh please, lets not indulge this type of nonsense, unless its renamed "kids say the funniest things" or ends up moved to some thing like... spottykid.com Yes, Im being patronising.....but I MEAN it....( thinks again,eerrr .....no, no err no I MEAN it) ah well enjoy children......
