Bobthedog Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Of those still alive: Alex James - bass Myles Heskit (Wolfmother) and Jim Brown (UB40) - drumists Bjork / Carly Ray Jepsen / Steven Curtis Chapman(no idea who he is) / Lorna Luft - singists Gary Pihl (Boston / Sammy Hagar band) - guitarist John "Rabbit" Bundrick (the Who and sessions with others including Eric Burdon, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Roger Waters) - keys. Looks like I could form a band, although may not get past Alex in the audition. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Way back in the height of my fandom with The Stranglers, my brother told me that I shared my birthday with JJ Burnel. He was lying, but we didn't have Google then 😕. Edited June 18, 2021 by Nail Soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meterman Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Josh Klinghoffer might be the closest to a bassist on my birthday. Well, he’s played bass, not sure if that counts? Otherwise, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lindsey Buckingham, Eddie Cochran, Chubby Checker, Steve Reich and Gwen Stefani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
