A little joke from probably my favourite bassist! Nice irony as Mark King started off as drummer
I'm going to have to remove you from my ignore list for that.
What was I thinking
Richard Quentin Laird (5 February 1941 – 4 July 2021)
Hadn't realised he'd passed

Saw these in Vancouver. Apologies for the post splattering, but, what the ****. They had two brothers playing bass.

Saw them in 81 (Jenkinsons) and in Sheffield (again with big Kev) in the noughties
I'll stop now. Great thread.

Brummie wallies that jumped on the New Wave/synth scene …. very, very late. A singer with serious sinus issues.
Back in the day only liked by teenage girls who fancied JT or Rhodes, if any blokes liked them, they kept it quiet.
40 years on, revered by a few middle aged football supporters. What’s changed? Can SLB actually sing now?
Simply the passage of time.
I loved them. I like a bit of pop. One of the many bands that dragged me out of my snobby music purist silo, that began to melt in the late 70s when I bought The Average White Band's second album.

You omitted to mention ".... and the kind of face you just want to punch"
His "sinus issues" to which you refer were particularly evident during their Live Aid performance... at 2.55 in the video clip below...

As someone commented on YouTube, "This bass line could be in the Hall of Fame by itself". The great Bernard Edwards, bass player and co founder of Chic with Nile Rogers.
And then Royal Blood came along with Mike Kerr wringing sounds out of his bass guitar I just didn't think were possible! (song begins at 1.56)

Wow, what a soulful contrast to your hardcore German/former Soviet Bloc techno 200bpm.
A man of many tastes.
And what about a slice of this?
Saw them at the Dome. Twice!

I know a big fan.
Being a dance/rhythm fanboy, I love the up tempo Maneater.

That bum note was partly due to a lack of preparation. Band was barely talking to each other at that stage, let alone rehearsing.
Fair to say that Le Bon sings some songs (View To A Kill; WIld Boys) at the very edge of his range though....

One the subject of bass, I'm not the world's biggest fan of Sting but this recent interview - very much about musicianship, not celebrity/fluff - is ace.

YouTuber and musician/producer RickBeato really knows his stuff. Is always worth watching.
