Why are there so many Jam tributes?? Nice, getting strong Motown vibes. Sounds somehow familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a Four Tops album on a reel-to-reel, which was a tape you could record over. So when I was learning guitar, I actually taped myself playing over Walk Away Renee. Derek was really annoyed! But all this goes in, subconsciously, and I rediscovered it through Paul. The Malice bassline is very similar to You Can't Hurry Love by the Supremes, but it worked. When we hit that groove, you couldn't stop your foot tapping." https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/nov/12/how-we-made-town-malice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Sandy Anderson's Bass line on this 1982 Odyssey track has always intrigued me. He seems to use a lot of variation while keeping the general vibe going. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 Ok, the album got released in October 81, but hey, that's almost 82 and it is my thread, so I can do whatever I want anyway, right 😁 Always loved this bassline. We gonna party till the dawn comes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the founding member is still alive. More stat busyness... The composer (Jesse Rae) of the track 'Inside Out', was Scottish and moved to the States in the mid 70's. He released his own version at some point. Anyway, do carry on. Edited September 29 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to say something about the picture, but then I googled the guy and found out that he is still alive and living in Scotland. So, don't want him to visit me here in Leics, esp. not in his fav outfit 😉 https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2016/06/jesse-rae-interview 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 "Rio" is a great bass line - great fun to play; I'm just going to pop into the next room and run through it. "Running In The Family" is another - I can't play that slap. "Come Back And Stay" brought Pino Palladino into the limelight. "When The Going Gets Tough" (aka. "go and get stuffed") is another. "Two Tribes" is a just great one by Trevor Horn, helped along by the American Football craze. But "Moving Pictures" was released in '81 and it's a whole album of great bass playing (and the rest!).

Eldon Tyrell Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 3 hours ago, Hellzero said: 198 ... 1. According to Wiki, it was written in 81 but released in 82: "Should I Stay or Should I Go" is a song by the English punk rock band the Clash from their fifth studio album Combat Rock, written in 1981 and featuring Mick Jones on lead vocals. It was released in 1982 as a double A-sided single alongside "Straight to Hell", performing modestly on global music charts. In the United States, "Should I Stay or Should I Go" charted on the Billboard Hot 100 without reaching the top 40. The song received greater attention nearly a decade later as the result of an early-1990s Levi's jeans commercial, leading to the song's 1991 re-release, which topped the UK Singles Chart and reached the top 10 in New Zealand and many European charts. The song was listed in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Should_I_Stay_or_Should_I_Go 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
