Listening to Jah Wobble with PiL or Steve Harris with Iron Maiden. Two very different approaches, they both sounded like the most important and interesting sonic situations going on in their bands.
And, obviously, Lemmy.
Thanks, y'all. My (joint) win is dedicated to 'The Groaners', Newton Road Junior School's very own anti-choir. SEE, TEACHER? MY VOICE DONE GOOD! IN YOUR FACE, MRS BULL!
Ahem. 39 years gone. How carthartic. Picture to Skol303 follows shortly.
Dedicated to 'The Groaners', those gravelly-voiced outcasts from Newton Road Junior School Choir, circa 1980.
Violin bass, electric saz, Hydrogen drums and, for a change, some words. I won't call them vocals. And nor should you.
I have taken a bass with me on a canal holiday as had to practice new tunes for a gig immediately on our return. I think the slower pace of life on a narrowboat suits just sitting there idling the afternoon away with a tune and a beer. And my wife is pretty laid back so that helps.
