bumnote Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Heres a picture of him playing a precision when playing with quatermass in the 70s They were a great group Quote
thebeat Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Still finding it difficult to believe that the talent that wrote and sang such gems as Do the Strand has now been reduced to stirring his sons porage. Oh well. Quote
KevB Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Check out his playing on the Ian Gillan Band albums 'Clear Air Turbulence' and 'Scarabus', slightly jazz influenced and some great bass lines from Gus. Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) I'm probably going to piss everyone off here but I hate that song - mainly for the crap lyrics and the bassline. I think it just doesn't fit well with the drums or the song. Just my opinion. Edited August 3, 2009 by WHUFC BASS Quote

WHUFC BASS Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Just thought of a good tribute band name for him... "The Bryan Ferry Disaster" Quote

"The Bryan Ferry Disaster"[/quote] though after pulling his sons 26 year old ex, i would be more inclined to call it the: 'Lucky, Durty, Old Bastard Band'.....not quite as catchy or clever as your suggestion admittedly.

Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Roxy were a fantastic band. My favourite was 'Same Old Scene' played by Gary Tibbs of Adam & The Ants fame Quote
