It’s great, but does contain one of the maddest tracks ever recorded in Infinity (unfortunately there isn’t an infinity sign on my keyboard). That's one description of it 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we saw her live she and the "other bass player" in the band swapped between bass and guitar all evening. No one's mentioned Canoe Reeves but I guess that's well known. Less well known is maybe Ryan Gosling... Geeky actor Michael Cera... And didn't film critic Mark Kermode play bass for Danny Baker's short lived late night chat show? Mark Kermode was in a skifflish band playing upright bass a long time ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise that! However (and I'm not a massive fan of Stone Roses - they are OK) Ian Brown did turn out to be a good frontman and Mani a great bass player, so the shift around worked well for them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Roses live 'back in the day' and it was Mani that mainly caught my eye. He was actually the one that inspired me to buy my first bass and give it a go.
