Cyclops - Marilyn Manson

That must have been incredible!

I saw one of those fly when I was a kid. I'm still astounded at how something so vast was able to fly so gracefully.

Empty Glass is a fantastic album, although I actually prefer the earlier Who version - well, Pete's demo with Moon and Entwistle overdubs.

Those Dean basses are a reprehensible cash-in. John never played them. Apart from the vague Alembic shape, there's nothing about them that resembles anything he ever used.

Don't worry, your distortion will remove any undesirable niceties 🤣

I reckon a bass of this calibre deserves far better than Rotosounds 🤣

Reading this makes me happy.

Congratulations! I've been after one of these for years but on the rare occasions they do pop up I don't have the money. I have played the magnificent Buzzard belonging to our very own @Wolverinebass and it is an astonishing instrument - despite the demented appearance it is a completely logical and comfortable bass to play. And, just like John's, the action is so low the strings are on the other side of the fretboard 😆

... specifically, THIS clip. Aged 6 or 7, this was the point I knew I was a bass player. Daltrey was yet to find himself but crikey, that rhythm section...

This clip - and some others of the same era - are the reason I'm on here now.

Utterly glorious. The final section is just ferocious. Puts the limp studio version to shame.

My Own Worst Enemy - Lit

I Am I - Queensryche

Shazam - Shadows

That G string looks like it's had enough.

I'd rather listen to Sapko over Berthoud any day!

Down The Dustpipe - Quo

I like Counterparts. It's a bit eccentric. Although Animate is one of my least favourite Rush songs 😄 I find Vapor Trails a bit of a dense mess - even remixed - but S&A was a real return to form, and what else is there to say about Clockwork Angels? A magnificent farewell.

On Parole - Motorhead

A New Level - Pantera

Too much!

Cans And Miss Brahms - Yes

Blowin' Free - Wishbone Ash

I know that now. The 13-year-old me was a lot more naive 😄
