I think Mick Karn played on the 'Dance' album (which he than proceded to slag off in a magazine interview afterwards) and Pino played on the album afterwards...err 'I Assassin' i think. Mick Karn's playing was much better IMHO. If you like 'Music For Chameleons' it's worth checking out Japan's stuff and Dali's Car.

cheddatom Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Interesting. I just downlaoded a Gary Newman & Tubeway Army Greatest Hits! I haven't really heard any Gary Newman before, but I love "Music for Chameleons" the song. I know it from the Alan Partridge DVD menu. I may investigate your suggestions further, seeing as I don't listen to enough music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that's the wrong way round as he's better known as a bass player than actor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ronnie Wood. Apparently he influenced Stanley Clarke from what he did with the Jeff Beck Group. Back when Bill Wyman quit The Stones there was a rumour that Ronnie was going to switch to bass and that Mick Taylor would return to the band. Sounds potty now but I remember that being the talk of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
