David Lee Roth eat your heart out. He did! Actually used a small trampoline during his set, whilst playing guitar too. Think it was a bit of a gimmick TBH, bit of theatrics etc. He partly blames this and doing flips as well for recently having both hips replaced!

'The sun hasn't set on this boy yet' and especially 'Goin back' are wonderful. Yeah, he’s great... Here’s the interview I half remembered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to have seen his medical claim form! A mate of mine was a big fan - he told me about the trampoline thing after seeing him at Brum Odeon in the 70s. Did he do Cry Tough on the OGWT, or am I imagining things in my old(er) age? think I need to have a listen to some of his stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved fist album and pinched some droney bass chords off them in my playing. I used to knock about with the live drummer when we were teens. Both in different bands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothingman Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) This week I am fully immersed in Band Of Horses. Easily in my top 5 bands* of all time. Loved Bill Reynolds on bass and now Matt Gentling (former Archers of Loaf) is a a solid dude. So I decided to go on one of my 'journeys' and decided to try and learn as much of their bass lines as possible. Not that easy with my lack of talent and inability to hear bass via digital. but hey, they seem pretty straight forward. Got through about 17 songs in 3.5 hours last night, wasn't a complete disaster. Do it up, ya'll! *not just animal based band names.

Graham Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral I've never really listened to NIN beyond a few of their more obvious tracks, but this is very good and if I'd heard it at the right age (probably around 21), I'd have probably got really into them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaartian Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 More mellowness. This is Juan Areco. I had the distinct pleasure of getting to listen to him dozens of times while he was playing at the Biltmore in Coral Gables in 1997, and i was there 2 weeks/month for a year on a consulting gig. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
