Sometimes less is more. Paul Bushnell supplies the sole accompaniment on

- Mary Coughlan


Glenn Cornick covers Bach, from the album Stand Up

叠辞耻谤茅别 - Jethro Tull ~

:o)

the epitome of cool ... Mr Phil Lynott

not content with having that extraordinary voice he just had to be a mighty fine bass exponent also ... tough break

'The Rocker' please ... for happy memories, still vivid ...

It's a small world.

Martin Quittendon is one of the great enigmas of rock music. He used to play in a band called Steamhammer and although he came from a folkie background, played in the blues based Staemhammer as guitarist - it is therfore unlikely he played mandolin on Mandolin Wind - and after writing a few more numbers with Rod, he simply disappeared - which is pity because Rod's writing was never as good therefafter. So it's much more likely that it was Ray Jackson from Lindisfarne, who is a Mandolin player.

Interestingly, one of Martin Quittendon 's colleagues in Steamhammer was Garth Watt- Roy, elder bother of Norman Watt- Roy whom Julie will be nominating.

I shall, of course, be nominating Jack Bruce but having watched Norman Watt Roy playing with Wilko Johnston last year it's a bloody close run thing.

What we have to get right here is the balance of the band.

So far we've got a Scottish rock guitatist with a unique method of emulating the sounds of traditional Scottish folk and roots music though a cultivated electronic sound - similar (but different) to what Martyn Bennett would drift towards much later and in a different style.Adamson doesn't get as much credit or street cred for this, interestingly both died young - must be the snobbery of 'academic/cultured' against 'populist/'uncultured'.

So our Bassist has to fit in with the drift of the band........a rock guitarist with an emulation of traditional music in an electronic platform and a folkie mandolin player....

.....Jaco Pastoriuous, obviously?

regardez youse

henri

well...obviously...

Norman Watt-Roy of the Blockheads

His most famous and probably finest bassline gets played often on GIO so, instead you could play something else featuring him e.g....

'The Magnificent Seven' - The Clash
'The Passing Show' - Ian Dury and The Blockheads (really a good track)

also...

Whoever played bass on 'Cool Jerk' by The Capitols was pretty good

The Jam - Pretty Green, Bruce Foxton at his best and a great opening to the Sound Affects album

Jaco Pastorious - Come On Over, Sam & Dave on vocals, David Sanborn on the sax, Herbie Hancock on keyboards....how can you go wrong? (he is fantastic on Ian Hunter's All American Alien Boy as well, also featuring fantastix sax by David Sanborn)

Paul McCartney - Take It Away

Paul Simon - You can Call Me Al (Bakithi Kumalo)

Talking Heads - I Zimbra or Once In A Lifetime, I Zimbra is less often heard and was one of the standout tracks on David Byrnes last tour. (Tina Weymouth)

Rush - Limelight (Geddy Lee)

Having sailed around the Bass Rock on many, many occasions, I am an expert on this topic. The gannets in that area are renowned for their guano. Indeed, The Bass Turds are famous the world over

WINGS (Paul MacCartney] 'Old Siam Sir'

WEDNESDAY



Your Mamma Won't Like Me -


A wee wummin wi' a Bass guitar. Oh, the memories...

Henri, I like your thinking and I eat my words!

gets my vote - he was great at the John Mayall concert (and he's got a lovely smile!) Stuck for a song to suggest though - he's played with Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, the Black Crowes, etc etc, but it would take more time than I have to find out which recorded tracks. He did a solo on Time to Move, which there are many clips of, but they don't do justice to how good it was live.

Bela Fleck & the Flecktones play many different genres so maybe he could fit in the GIO band

- Bela Fleck & the Flecktones - the Sinister Minister

and there's always

The Low Anthem - To Ohio - Jeff Prystowsky on double bass

Aye, lets keep plugging-away for a play of this superb Low Anthem track Gaie.

Bootsy Collins - 'Stretchin' Out' or (as a bass thumpasaurian) on 'One nation under a groove' by Funkadelic.

Reggae Bass...

Third World (Ritchie Daley) - 'Now that we've found love'

Aston (Family Man) Barrett...
'Coming In From The Cold' from 'Uprising by Bob Marley and The Wailers

or
'Babylon must fall' by Barbara Paige

Liquid Liquid 鈥� Cavern
OR
Grandmaster and Melle Mel鈥檚 鈥淲hite Lines (Don鈥檛 Do It)鈥�? One of the most famous bass lines ever to scar vinyl.
Black Flag - Six Pack, Chuck听Dukowski.
Tom Tom Club 鈥� Genius of Love Tina Weymouth.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away, Flea fidgety energetic!
The Damned 鈥� Neat Neat Neat,听Captain Sensible.

Peter Hook:

Joy Division - Transmission

New Order - Ceremony

听
I can't remember what requests made the playlist, (not mine or Senga's), but if embdy is struggling for ideas check this oot!


;o)

听
Still no inspiration? Try this!


;o)

听
Well, if they played it just once I wouldn't have to keep asking for it!?!


>8-D

who is the bass guitarist on 'That girl could sing' by Jackson BROWNE? (album: HOLD OUT)
Is it Bob GLAUB or Doug HAYWOOD? Anyway track N掳 3 is truly good indeed!

Good shout Christophe, Bob Glaub according the liner notes of my copy? Though the writing is quite wee and I cannot find any of the three pairs of reading spectacles.....

Seeing as GIO always ignore JJ's solo work...

Sorry JFE, I'd go with Bob Marley & the Wailers - Small Axe & said听Aston 鈥淔amily Man鈥� Barrett

T. Rolling Stones - It鈥檚 All Over Now,听Bill Wyman

Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman, Joseph "Lucky" Scott

#19 Hello Norrie.
where ? where? Methinks I need reading spectacles too. I have scrolled back three or four times...
Cannot see any other post mentioning Bob GLAUB ...
Anyway, you know what they say: 'great minds think alike' ha ha ha ha ha.

oft requested..

Cause We've Ended as Lovers - Jeff Beck with Tal Wilkenfeld on bass -

who's been recently writing songs with Jackson Browne

Steal My Kisses - Ben Harper - Juan Nelson on bass

(one of) my bands of the moment

- Holding on to Black Metal - Tom Blankenship 鈥� bass

Well I think there are several bassists who fit the bill here but I'll start with my old hero:

Cream - Badge not one of Jack's songs but his bass playing really is the star of the show, combining easily with George Harrison's middle eight and Clapton's screaming lead guitar work towards the end.

I've given up on getting Jack's solo work played on GIO but if you havea change of heart:

Progress beautiful, Jack and a piano.
Make Love radio friendly
Post War Chris Spedding's crashing guitar makes this a joy
Tickets To Waterfalls the world in two and a hlaf minutes - love it.
Send For Me how effortlessly Jack moves between Jazz and Blues.
Waiting For a Word - Jack, Maggie Reilly and Eric on great form

I think Jack would be a great addition to this band because he is multi genre, multi instrumental, writes music (a bit like McCartney) and is Scottish so understands where Adamson is coming from, musically...... and

one of the fifty reasons to love Paul Mccartney:

Monkberry Moon Delight - Paul McCartney... if we get Macca in the band, we've sold out stadia immediately.This is mental, great fun...

regardez youse

henri

Oh and a big 2nd for|Norrie's Macca track, Take It Away

There are another three McCartney tracks I'd put up for this:

Stranglehold - Paul McCarney (with Eric Stewart,from Press To Play)

The Mess - Paul McCartney & Wings from Red Rose Speedway(bonus track)

Spirits of Ancient Egypt - Wings... and Medicine Jar from Venus & Mars...
regardez youse

henri

Rick Grech:

With the folkie Lindisfarne mandolin, and Staurt's piercing roots guitar we're heading down a road that's musically quite close to one of the GIO team's favourite bands - Family.

Give thsi a whirl and you'll understand where I'm coming from:

The Weaver's Answer - Family

regardez youse

henri

PiL - Public Image, Jah Wobble
M/A/R/R/S 鈥� Pump Up the Volume
Donna Summer - I Feel Love

BTW Chic - Good Times, Bernard Edwards gave 鈥淕ood Times鈥� a walking bassline that launched a thousand others鈥攐r at least Queen鈥檚 鈥淎nother One Bites the Dust鈥� (funkier than any quartet of Brits has any right to be, thanks to John Deacon鈥檚 wholesale theft) >8-)

Augustus Pablo 鈥� Frozen Dub
T. Clash - The Guns of Brixton, Paul Simonon












& oh yes of course... JJ Burnel's Freddie Laker (Concorde & Eurobus)

#28

Massive 2nd for Donna Summer; Donna Summer was my Mother.

Not sure how Georgio's electronic wizzardry will fit with Ray's mandolin, mind.

the rasping bass presence that still is Jean Jaques Burnel

'Nice 'n Sleazy' please ...

#32 Too late.. did you know I've been outed? ;-)

Leland SKLAR bassist for Warren ZEVON (among other musicians and singers)
my favourite is 'Jungle work' on the 'Bad luck streaks in dancing school' album
