    Like many on here it seems, I met Colin Via SE bass bash, a lovely chap, who always had a good word for everything, so sad to hear of his passing, he will be remembered.

    Congrats Col, helluva slot to fill, good on ya!

    Being an impressionable teenager reading shedloads of Sci Fi and listening to Yes, I always apportioned their lyrics to sc fi/fantasy themes (the albums covers helped ofc!)..Nowadays it seems even Jon Anderson didn't know what his lyrics were about!! He just liked the way they sounded together 😎

    SO many great Bowie basslines to play.... Moonage, Panic In Detroit, Ziggy, China Girl, Heroes, the list is endless.....maybe I should be in a Bowie Tribute band lol!

    Sept 2003 at the Pitz In Milton Keynes, I'd been playing Bass for about 5 months at this point so only knew about half the set, the lead singer played the other half instead of his 12 string acoustic. I just cowered next to my amp for the whole gig looking terrified lol!

    LMAO!!! Its also a great excuse to get loud and trebly! á la Entwhistle's tone, something I don't often do

    Used to do Pinball Wizard too, until the guitarist complained it hurt his fingers and sulked until we dropped it...*sigh*

    Used to do Substitute with old band, a real lead part right there, trying to persuade current band to do it..seeing as I've learnt it! Also mini bass solo in there too...and I hate soloing!!

    A nice pearlescent champagne colour for mine!
  17. Oopsdabassist
    Definitely this!

    Its a fair point I suppose, but they way the lyrics are shoehorned in are exactly what I like about Prog style music, nothing is ever simple! 👍for Turn The Page though. Hold Your Fire was one of the few 80/90's albums I actually liked.

    My faves would be Pretty much anything off Clockwork Angels, that album really was a return to the 70's Rush that I love! I grew up with the pomp of 2112 and Hemispheres. I also loved the clever lyrics of 'Trees,' although as a Brit I winced a bit too!

    My apologies, I mis-understood your post

    Kinda glad I rarely get above playing in pubs...Can't be @rsed with all that stress shiite

    Oh yes, he had/has a large selection of double necks to choose from!
  23. Oopsdabassist
    Agreed! I've always found Genesis bass lines confusing though, probably cos I can never be quite sure if they are bass guitar, bass pedals or Tony Bank's left hand!
  24. Oopsdabassist
    Wel Jel bro!....that looks awesome, and I have no doubt it sounds the same1
  25. Oopsdabassist
    ooh tell us more, I love this nitty gritty stuff!!
