E sharp Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 [quote name='jezzaboy' post='914158' date='Aug 3 2010, 07:02 PM']E Sharp. Have you had an eye test recently? That aint Mr Pratt, that`s the guy who plays bass with Robbie Williams. I would reconise that black P bass anywhere. If it`s Guy, he wearing a fat suit!! I got his name, it`s Jerry Meehan. Jez Cleuso[/quote] I said "I might be proved wrong" , and it appears I have been . It just looked like him , albeit a tad more hefty . What with the P bass (thought it was one of his Nash's) , the Ashdown head and 8x10 (which I know he uses) , and the Avalon DI on top of the amp (I know he has / had , an Avalon 737SP mic pre) . Yeah , and my eyes , at 41 , are not what they were . I look in the mirror , and still think I look rather snazzy, though the wife soon tells me (that's her job) . Also I can't compete with the crawling being dished out , but if you're reading this Guy , I bought your book , thought it was great , and not leant it to anybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Well I bought a coupla tickets. For a fiver they're cheap at the price. Although I'm sure he must have run out of amusing drunk and debauched bass guitar related anecdotes by now.............surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggie Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi all, me again.. Sad that I have time to read it all really.. To answer.. That Roxy interview was done in 2007, and I did point out that it would be very foolish to take out a mortgage based on being Roxy's bass player! Well spotted on the Nash, although my black one is a Jazz...The Avalon belongs to Mr Gilmour.. And yes I do have a whole load more drunk/debauched tour stories... Cheers!

Gust0o Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I definitely think being a musician is the career for drunken debauchery. Getting pissed at an investment conference lacks that essential rock and role, no matter how much booze you soak into your pinstripes. Besides, who would read about it? As I was telling my mate, a BP engineer, it's no use having fun if you've just ruined the world; I'm not saying he personally did, he's just convenient to blame. And from Leicester. Possibly why neither of us will write books. I did come away from the whole thing wishing Rob Palmer had locked me in his house. I'd still f***ing be there.

jezzaboy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Well Guy, thanks for clearing up the "I am not in Roxy anymore debate" but how do you feel about a Guy clone being your replacement? You do realise that by "coming out of the closet" to use a expression, that when you do the Edinburgh gig, you are going to be mobbed by all the guys on this site who attend the gig demanding autographs, photo`s, bass guitars etc....

Hutton Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I really can't crawl as I got the book out the library. It was a great read. Nostalgia points 10/10. Fantastic to have Guy on the forum.

I met Rafa Benitez in rather pissed form and ended up putting him in a headlock (it was my stag do - we thought he was a waiter); thus I feel the next famous person I meet should have a bit more dignity. /Crawl.[/quote] pity you didnt do us all a favour and punched him in the nose lol.......

douggie Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thank you Endorka and any others who've bought tix for Edinburgh. Feel free to come and say hello after if so inclined. Alright, any questions then? I'm going to New Zealand tomorrow so might be a few days before I'm back on. Anyone takes the piss though and I'll come down on 'em like a ton of bricks. Capiche?

paul h Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I can't think of anything to say. Have fun in NZ Guy. Does Craig Martini still post here?
