Hearts Alive isn't a bad way for it it end either!

Frank Blank Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I'm listening to this in order to learn it, suffice to say I'm a bout two bars in. I thought buying a Rob Allen would mean I was able to play it straight away..! 🤣 Edited July 10, 2018 by Frank Blank Club Tropicana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda OK up to the solo (for a value of OK), but my harmonic knowledge isn't up to improving over it authentically. Fun to do though, a genuine solo piece. Good luck.

I give them more plays than any other funk band in my CD collection. Big Tony has about the heaviest and dirtiest sound in bassdom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Paul Gray's playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pst62 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yep, big influence on me when I started playing. (Still is!) He lives in your neck of the woods these days. He's on their latest album, Evil Spirits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yeah, I saw them on the last tour in Cardiff. Stood right in front of Paul, so I could hear the bass from his rig. Glorious!! I got chance to talk to him and Bryn a couple of years ago when they were part of a Q&A session with the documentary. Two, properly, nice guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Blank Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) All this talk of The Damned reminds me of my favourite track, Love Song. I saw The Damned a lot back in the day but never got into them heavily, I was always going to gigs simply to get some dBs down me lug 'oles. I love the first side (showing my age there) of Machine Gun Etiquette but essentially I'm not particularly familiar with anything else. I think the first five tracks from this album might be (imho of course) the finest first side of rock music ever (apart from the production) it's an absolutely thrilling set of songs.

Totally Agree Frank! But for me, this is a great album all the way through, sadly though, as you mention the production let's it down especially on the Bass side of things, Algy Ward is playing some great stuff down in that muddle of a mix.

I met them after the Mayfair and Dingwalls gigs in Newcastle in 82 & 83 respectfully. They were all down to earth apart from Scabies, who was up his own derrière on both occasions.

That's just my teenage boredom threshold, I haven't attempted to listen to that album in it's entirety since 1979, must give it a go now, I've only got those first five songs on my iPod, shocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been working my way through the back catalogue, I have only got as far back as Colors (which is immense). Surprised to notice its a covers album - can't imagine what a Motley Crue song would sound like in their hands! ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
