Binky and bunny Mckenzie, brother duo musicians any news of their existence dead or alive ? from what I can find great bassist but got put in jail for murder , any body know more back ground ?

Yes another great player , saw him showing his groove on tv program rock school ( remember that ) back in the day RIp Mr Shakespeare.

Great bass playing, a one example to set a playing standards Graham maby lots of skill playing notes pulling down the fore finger , and dampen open notes with thumb over the top , Just pure skill and pleasure , … I am giving up !

When I say sting is a genius, maybe I should have put the word modern in front. judging by people’s reactions, modern day genius being a more apt calling , but bearing in mind of stings longevity being band or solo works if you take a look at the number of songs produced over the last three /four decades I don’t see another artist musician coming even close to his success , please don’t put u2 / or cold play as a comparison , (no discredit to them ) but with one quoted song (just one ) every breath you take, being the most played song 🎵 the 21 century alone without counting countless other songs that have been either number 1 s or massive charting memorable hits ,so for the life of me can’t think of many or any up and coming bands dead or alive quite measure up the his ability-or quality output of sting , so yes a modern day genius at the very least and counting , and most of all a home breed talent from uk should be celebrated , but hey it’s only an opinion. But a valid point one .

Yes I think stu was a bit of a thug in those days and sting definitely from his looks at times took a beating , but stu eased up when he realises actually he’s pretty good , better not cut off my nose here ! but all in jest I think it’s clear that individually all members of the police had something of a great talent to bring to the table in their own special ways .

Ha ha glad we got past the money thing , yes would agree he has a tendency to be a bit of knob head, well on more the a few occasions , and now here lives but a 1000 yards away from me in Battersea, I should remind him of this should I ever bump into him , only after I’ve shook his hand and hand a quick chat about Roxanne 😂

Thx rich for putting this up 👍

Well all I am saying or trying to get across is he’s a talent and is to be celebrated and not to be judged solely by his wealth , as often it’s the primary point to any discussion about sting after all my point is aimed to recognise his bass playing ability and not that he’s got 106 bank accounts ,or sliced bread .

Well love him or hate him sting with his side kick dom Miller discuss there latest venture on YouTube talking to Rick Beato : some people often disregard sting as a pompous git , but he really is a modern day genius , his ability to write a 3 minute pop tune is amazing , but even he has come to the conclusion that music has hit the wall , but with his ever evolving talent and his quest to push himself to the next level and constant changing of the guard he has tried to make himself relevant . So for that alone I wish people would give him a break and stop starting sentences multimillionaire sting with personal fortune £300 million ! Yes he’s rich beyond comprehension and why not he’s works hard , yes that’s right hard. so base his success on his ability to do something not just well but to an amazing standard , check out his dedication to evolve to find the next big thing , Rick and dom have witnessed something quite special and I agree with them , sting is a modern day genius .

Nice clip Jj and boys 👍

Welcome mark from fellow Rick player

Different girls ending bass part , and i am the man are great bench marks to master your bass skills and a perfect display of Graham’s skills and how bass is the the most important drive within the band ,and an important part of bass is recognising these great snippets for showing what standards are required to be a player .

Yep great great bassist he’s the man !

With all the world losing it’s head and music being a place for comfort, I though it would be a good subject to look back at some bassists for playing inspiration that might inspire a younger generation to pick up and start playing , the bassist I would like to big up is Graham’s maby a truly gifted bassist , check him out , any more suggestions for players that could put a new spin different approaches to playing rgds pj

Nice like the green 👍well done
