iconic Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Doin' the decorating means I'm listerning to the radio all day and sending myself txts when I hear a good tune....and this one sure passed me by back in the 80's, good fun to play. I think this guy is called Gary Tibbs, lovely old nice old Fender P, full set of pup covers 'n, well he's a bit scary too I getting worried I'm starting to like Old Fender's...didn't see that coming! Didn't he play for Mr Adam Ant? ...and then if my eyes don't deceive me the pup covers are off! Same Old Scene Chords Intro: D#m B D#m B D#m B G#m C# D#m B Nothings last forever D#m B Of that I'm sure D#m B Now you've made an offer G#m C# I'll take some more A#m B Young loving may be A#m B Oh so mean A#m B Will I still survive G#m C# The same old scene? In our lighter moments Precious few It's all that heavy weather We're going through When I turn the corner I can't believe It's still the same old movie That's haunting me Young loving may be Oh so mean Trying to revive The same old scene Solo: C# C# as version Young loving may be So extreme Maybe we should try The same old scene Solo: C# D#m G#m F# C# as version Nothings last forever | Of that I'm sure | Now you've made an offer |x3 version to fade I'll take some more | ...Fools Gold next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 He was prior to all that a Vibrator! Replaced Pat Collier, who produced my first band (and others). Ah, the memories...and yes the track's not bad either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Gary Tibbs left Roxy Music to join Adam & The Ants.

cetera Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Ah yes... Gary Tibbs, saw him with Adam & The Ants back in 1981 at the Dominion Theatre on the Prince Charming tour... Oops! Have I dated myself there...?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I love the Roxy stuff up to their break in '75, not so keen on the 3 later records...but there were some good tracks - like SOS. Just don't get me started on Ferry and that son of his....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I used to deliver his papers when he was with the Vibrators and I was about 13. No one round my way could believe it when he popped up with Roxy Music. Like so many players in punk bands at the time, he pretended to be crap but was actually pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Spenner, wonderful player. Used to see him play with Kokomo. Played a Wal then. Tibbs.....pretty boy....brought in for the videos...got the Ants gig as he wasn't taller than Mr Ant.

Marky L Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) He knocked out some great stuff with The Vibrators on their second album, V2. He had a great sound and you can tell he knows where he's going on the fretboard! Some great basslines going on there.
