daz Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I have been staying at my brothers house this week, and digging out all his old records from the 70s/ 80s Many sounds i havent heard for a long time, for sure. But Im ashamed to say that I had forgot how much [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Stammers"]Stan Stammers [/url]was a formative influence on my love of bass. His playing with Theatre of Hate was always a pleasure to watch, and of course to hear. I saw the band many times the short time they were going before they morphed in to Spear of Destiny. Stan was pretty much an anchor both musically and sartorially. his own look never changing in all the years that i went to see them (If it aint broke, etc) Lately Stan has been touring again with Kirk Brandon, with Theatre of Hate getting an ocassional get together. so far only in London i belive though There must be others on this forum, old farts like me, who used to dance and leap around to Theatre of Hate ?

Paulgm1 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I can remember seeing Spear of Destiny live in about 85. Memory a bit hazy but I just remember it as a fabulous, powerful gig and i got my shirt torn off in the mosh at the front. Great stuff.

Lozz196 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Can`t remember the name of the song, as was never really into TOH, but it had an awesome bass-line. Used to cover it at rehearsals, but never played it live. Agree, Stan had some great ideas from I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
