It's simple, just learn to play like this

It's great - Probably the last decent album they did, for my ears anyway.

I'd say "for bass playing in general", but anyway. This is funny. Bonus points: he can also shove the mic out of his face using his nose. I have actually seen this happen.

I once went through Rush live albums to work out where Geddy's voice went from being ok to starting to show signs of wobbling. I can't remember what the answer was now, but it sounds like as good as an excuse as any to listen to those live albums again.

ok, but maybe therein lie the answers you seek (takes off 6th form Ayn Rand lyricist cape)

Oh I get it you work for SBL and you're trying to drive up views of their most recent mailout video

Oh I quite like them. But then again there are quite a few bands I don't like as well.

I noticed Saw X is out soon

Exhibit A m'lud. the thrilling Cinema Show instrumental (Phil, Mike, Tone at their best, then joined by Bill Bruford) with pointless b&w movies pasted over the top.

I could watch this all day for the strong trouser statements alone. Shame they've cut it with the vintage movie footage (see also late 70s Genesis live footage)

Lets Go Crazy from the 3rdEyeBlind tour (which I was lucky enough to see at the Roundhouse). Features Ida Neilsen bass solo!

The entire album is a masterpiece, but this is stand out for me, as is U Got The Look, Hot Thing, The Cross, the title track, and probably a load more

And this from Peter Gabriel

Sad and shocking news. What a delightful and unique voice. Always loved this haunting tune from Jah Wobble.

I think the massive elephant in the room with this video is the big zit on Jerry's forehead. Really distracting. Bit of witch hazel on there and it'll pop out in no time mate. btw Scott Devine and the gang did a video on the "hidden" (not really) riff from the video intro recently: https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2023/07/09/scott-devine-breaking-down-jaco-pastoriuss-modern-electric-bass-opening-bass-riff/

Still got my original VHS somewhere and the accompanying book. Gimme a gig!

What an amazing voice. A sterling innings at 96 years young. Here is he from Glastonbury 1998, a ray of sunshine in an otherwise rain-sodden year, immaculately turned out and in fine fine voice (and a blatant repost from the recent Glastonbury '23 thread). I'm going to try to squeeze Old Devil Moon into my next jam night.

That sounds like an awesome opportunity, and also I really like the sound of your line-up and modus operandi. Just tell them to get their big boy/girl pants on and carpe the living diem out of the situation. If it goes well then you were right all along and you can bask in the glory. If it doesn't then it's improv and you can pretend it did.

Effects pedals. Sort out a convention for placement of input, output, expression and power sockets

I'm curious as to which ABC album is better than Lexicon. (and "The Best Of" doesn't count) I think Simple Minds at least get a bye on account of currently touring most of the material shown in the Sky program. ABC have probably long been "Martin and session players".

Anyway now I've had chance to think and to answer my own question, here's my series two line-up Peter Gabriel - Us The Mars Volta - Amputecture (assuming Juan Alderete is back in action) Tool - Lateralus (Holy Gift running order, Forty Six & 2 encore) Magma - Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré (sing along everyone!) Opeth - Heritage or Pale Communion Phish - A Picture of Nectar or Billy Breathes obviously most of those would struggle to fit into the 60-minute format, but I'm sure they'll work it out
