    I'm sure Jack Bruce gave as good as he got dealing with his d1ck of a drummer when the latter was drunk or hungover (ie most of the time)

    ...After he got the long scale thumb. 

     

    During the short scale era, he got his ass kicked and called Jack 'The Spruce' on account of all the spring cleaning he did - It's in his autobiography.

  2. Did anyone manage to get an encore out of British Lion? I would have loved for him to play the ides of March or something from UFO.

     

    Didn't hang around afterwards, but certainly would have done to get a photo with him.

  3. Got to see my original inspiration Friday night...

    ...And he threw his wristband to my dad and I, which was a wonderful moment.

    When I was a kid, I had the 'Piece of Mind' album and Thin Lizzy's 'Black Rose' cassette tapes, which made me want to play bass.

    WASP's 'Crimson Idol' and Big Country's 'The Buffalo Skinners' made me pick up the guitar too.

    I don't listen to Steve (or Phil) much any more, because Jack Bruce and Chris Squire just took it that little bit further, but it was incredible and exhausting to watch him in action.

    British Lion as a band are incredibly polished live, but the dynamics came through in a way that the albums just can't capture (modern technology). I'd thoroughly recommend the gig if you get the chance to see them.

     

    So who made you pick up the bass?

  4. I love that pickup configuration - Does everything that a modern bass can't and packs more wallop than a P or J. Should feature on more basses.
