MoonBassAlpha Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just listened to a track I'd never heard before (Pud Wud) and suddenly found tears streaming down my face. Sometimes, music acts on very deep emotions in the ol' brainium. Came as quite a surprise to me, and even more so to my wife sitting next to me.

leftybassman392 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 RIP. A sad loss to the guitar world. My favourite Holdsworth track: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7R_x8ihC80"][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7R_x8ihC80[/media][/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 One of my favourite guitarists. I hoped to see him play again. Alas.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Woodcock Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 My favourite guitarist and a true pioneer of the instrument. Very, very sad that he is no longer with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 [quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1492382620' post='3279856'] Thanks for the recommends, I'll give him a listen tomorrow. As an aside, I wonder if he ever met my dad. He calls our cat the Gatox, a mix of gato (Spanish for cat) and gateaux. [/quote] It's from an old joke - a man in a restaurant asks if he can have Gattox for dessert. When the waiter tells him they don't have any the man says "Oh Bollo". I didn't say it was a GOOD old joke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyR Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 [quote name='visog' timestamp='1492416305' post='3279967'] Judge him by the company he kept basswise - I've got: Alphonso Johnson Paul Carmichael John Wetton Jack Bruce Ernest Tibbs Gary Willis Jeff Berlin Jimmy Johnson Skuli Sverrison Anthony Crawford Jimmy Haslip Evan Marien [/quote] Add Stanley Clarke to that illustrious list with an appearance and fab solo on "if this bass could only talk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way AH comes in at the start is hilarious. It's like he's butchering a cat. Stanley, Stuart Copeland and AH almost formed a band 'Electric Rush Hour' but I don't think AH would commit and it morphed into 'Animal Logic' with Deborah Holland.

It's a shame the project with Holdsworth never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've got both Animal Logic records, I got them when I was about 17-18 and listened to them loads as I was mad about Stanley Clarke. Both records have some great songs, and 'there's a spy' is an absolute favourite of mine. The first record is the stronger of the two but really, both records could be condensed into one, retaining the bangers and dropping the dross. I agree about some of Holland's lyrics, they really are dire in places. Overall, I liked the style of the band for the most part. Stanley and Stewart cut some great tracks. If only they had got Joni Mitchell onboard, imagine that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with Stewart & Stanleys contributions to the album. Yeah, joni would have made it a very interesting project indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI5QCem2fx4 Francis Dunnery paid tribute on his radio show - always thought there was a massive influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
