Beer of the Bass Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 3 hours ago, Mykesbass said: Highly unlikely. Hey Joe was written late 50s, very probably in Scotland. Joe Osborne started out professionally in 61 with Ricky Nelson. Can't see how he could have been the guilty party! True, there's a distinct lack of murders and fleeing to Mexico in Osborn's biographies, which makes me think it may not have been him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 23 hours ago, Nail Soup said: I can't imagine "You're so vain" being about a bass player. Tenuous link time. The famous badabump, badabump, badabump bass intro was in fact played by Klaus Voormann who also played bass on 'How Do You Sleep' in the OP. He also designed the cover of the Beatles Album 'Revolver' a few years earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably on the strength of that Höfner commissioned him to paint the artwork for a few limited edition violin basses. Nice, but very, very expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexel Matador Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 This one's about Lemmy and includes the line "he's playing bass and melting your face" And this one's about Fat Mike, as far as I can tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
