RichF Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 richer than us all put together and multiplied by 1000. Shagged more hot women than any of us thought existed. Fellow bass player. Comes across as a decent guy. All the rest is petty jealousy. (No big U2 fan BTW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Plays for the song. Leaves space. Lays it down. When the time is right less is more. In U2 that is what works. Stellar gratuitous technique or a musician working in a band context? I know which one I prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if he doesn't play like Victor (or whoever) does what he plays work for the song? Yes. Are U2 successful and popular? Yes. Sounds like he's doing a decent job to me.

He just gets on with it, clearly doesn't take himself too seriously, and is living the dream. Fair play to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is there so much anti-Clayton stuff around here?? I don't get it, he does his job, very, very well, whilst looking pretty damn cool at the same time.

merello Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 When I was younger, I envied his burds! Now I'm older, I envy his basses! What does that say about both of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
