OldGit Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Was that Pino miming along with Dollar on "Mirror mirror" on tonight's TOTP2? The guy was 7 feet tall, 2 inches wide and playing a natural stingray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 This one? I'm not so sure Pino is THAT tall but why take my word for it, he's on this clip: I can't tell to be honest. Dollar could be major short arses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was a synth but I liked the dynamics on the rekkerd ..

Delberthot Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 One of if not the most impressive things I have ever heard is that after the Ox bought the farm whilst out his tits on drugs, Pino played with the Who in Las Vegas 4 days later. Assuming that there was chaos for at least a day after this, he had maybe 2 or 3 days at the most to learn the Who's set. Now that's talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilb Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Its not Pino, hes not doing that perpetual "chicken at feeding time" thing he does whilst playing. Also, I cant see Pino clapping along when theres no bass. David Van Day - had and still has the kind of face you just want to smack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee650 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) I had the Fortune of playing for bucks fizz while david van day was with them, we played a few of dollars hits and didnt realise it may have been pino on those tracks, some lovely lines that i had to sight read needless to say i sh*t myself but it was fine and bobby and david were pleased, but yes David van day is the most irritating peson ive ever met and has a face you want to smack. The moral of this story Pino is the man and made everything he played on sound great ( not sure if it was actually pino on the dollar records though , id never heard of them before i playedthem). All the best - lee ps im pretty sure thats NOT!!! pino in that video Edited December 24, 2008 by lee650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Too much hair for Pino in the Dollar vid... wise man watch clip with sound turned off! <edit> I take that back Just watched the PY clip (sound up) I didn't realise that Pino ever had that much 'big hair' I thought he tended to keep it close cropped.

Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The early Dollar songs were only hits because Trevor Horn weaved hs magic on them. I always assumed that being a bass player, Trevor Horn had played on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
