Your BASS or Guitar player Influences

[TrevorR]

Influenced how I play:

Herbie Flowers (esp War of the Worlds)

Kelly Groucutt (ELO)

Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy)

John Whetton (but ASIA-era not any of his other bands)

Neil Murray (Whitesnake)

Tiran Porter (The Doobie Brothers)

Alan Gorrie (AWB)

Roger Glover (Deep Purple)

Randy Hope Taylor (Incognito: much later - late 90s - when started getting into acid jazz and similar)

Inspired but not in a way that changes my playing:

Chris Squire

Geddy Lee

Abraham  Laboriel

John G Perry

I like Camel too. But I just think Sinclair was at his peak with the Hatfields. And having interviewed him for a sleeve note it’s fascinating he felt inferior to the other three musicians.  Evidence that it’s always good to be in a band where everyone is supposedly better than you!

i'll have a listen on youtube now as i'm not too sure i've listened to them. Thanks for the heads up on it tho Mickey. You have a wonderful Christmas and a busy 2025.
