kingofthestuntmen Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 A lot of activity on Twitter suggesting Randy Coven has passed away... A bassist that I was aware of for a long time, but the Ark albums really made me sit up and listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Noooooo! He was pure '80s. Got the hot licks video, where he was really spaced out. Also the first two albums. This is so sad. Totally underrated imho. Shame ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Clayton Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Very sad. I loved his first two solo albums when I was a teenager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulhauser Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 His playing on Ark's Burn the sun is great, he and John Macaluso were a k..kass rhythmsection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Shame... don't want to speak ill but was never much of fan of his metally big-hair stuff - that said, his playing with Yngwie must have been a note-fest to behold. Not sure his case for a bass wang was proven either... Anywho, he was obviously a talented guy - here he is in a more textural Warwick mode: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilsKlbAjhEw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=ilsKlbAjhEw[/url] Edited May 23, 2014 by visog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Don't ever recall hearing his playing but I defo remember the name from Seymour Duncan (amp/cab) adverts of the 80's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tappel Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) [font=Arial][size=3]I knew Randy, not well, but I did know him. It’s a great loss for the bass world. He was a sensational player. This video is from a clinic he gave in Taiwan in 2002.[/size][/font] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yHQUys_hZk [font=Arial][size=3]Tom[/size][/font] Edited May 25, 2014 by tappel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
