While making some time on Youtueb, just saw some classic Natas footage.

At 15.30 that song made me want to play bass!

Mike Watt on the bass!

The Chili Peppers dedicated their 1991 album to him!

A real hero of mine...what a player. An inspirational work ethic and a monster Bassist. Legend. Always great to hear some fIREHOSE.

Classic band. Pre-internet, skate video soundtracks were a great source of musical inspiration, the tapes you got with Thrasher too.

Talking of Skate vids, Sorry to hijack the OP's thread. i was a skater in the mid 90's, Public Domain was a classic, with Ray Barbie, Eric Sanderson, Chet Thomas. McRad was the band. love the record.

Chuck Treece! Possibly the only person to play with both Billy Joel and Bad Brains. Streets of Fire had a great soundtrack too. One of my favs along with Public Domain and Animal Chin.

To me , it was "What so strange about me" -

To this day this intro/song brings me back good memories!

I had the SMA Natas board with the panther on it, I was obsessed with both the song and the video when I was around 14. Wish I still had that board, I broke it in half and never found another I liked quite as much. So much good music from late 80s / early 90s alternative culture both here and the USA.

The funny thing is that I rode BMX/freestyle, but was tottally addicted to these Santa Cruz videos and their soundtrack!
