Len_derby Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Martin Turner of Wishbone Ash. As a teenager I loved the Argus album. A lovely bass tone and great note choices. Nearly 50 years later and I still haven’t owned a Thunderbird! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 A pretty pathetic image really but as a 15 year old seeing it for the first time and with all the narrative that came with the band at the time, this was coolness personified! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Not so much a still image, more seeing this lot repeatedly at the Apollo in Manchester...

el borracho Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It was these two for me - John McCoy & Gerry McAvoy - I aspired to a white/tort Precision & they both played them. At the time I wouldn't have believed I would never get to own one - a white one anyway 😀 Still it's never too late... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Way for me too - late 70’s/early 80’s UFO were at the Apollo in Manchester every 6 months or so it seemed. I used money earned from doing my paper round to buy tickets. Happy times!

dudewheresmybass Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) As a teenager that was into the no particular kind of music except the classical I was being taught, images like this blew my mind. I regularly watched live after death, wearing more than one vhs copy out as well as the cassette, and poring over the booklet inside the vinyl. This guy, along with Gene and Cliff. When I finally met him a few years back, I physically shook for days and I almost cried, and was a complete fanboy 😳. at the time, and still now, he holds almost a mythic status- playing wise- in my eyes. Im fortunate enough to be playing, writing and recording with one of his ex drummists, so I do have a little more insight into his business dealings, but I will always hold him in high regard musically, and be grateful for this picture’s impact on a spotty teenager 😉🤘 Edited April 8, 2020 by dudewheresmybass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
