Paul S Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I really like a lot of their stuff. The bass is always doing something interesting and usually with a really creamy tone. I think this is my absolute favourite, the bass line kind of pulsates along. http://youtu.be/ZKfd3gsPJ9c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Stu Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 First heard them on a 70s compilation. Their version of Gimme Shelter leaves the Stones version in it's wake (IMHO). Fantastic bass, vocals and brilliant false finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I love this band!! First song I ever heard was 'Nothing Is The Same' and it was by sheer luck - I grabbed a set of headphones on a listening post in Tower Records in Glasgow about 15 years ago and it was the first track on a compilation CD. I was hooked instantly. I immediately ordered the GFR album the track was from so I could hear it, and more of their music. The bass riff on 'Aimless Lady' is a corker. Hugely underrated band IMO. Homer Simpson knows his stuff :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizontalste Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Inside Looking Out has the most amazing OD/Fuzz tone I've ever heard. Did it with my old band but could never get the tone bang on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
