Interested if anyone knows the current doings of any of these bands/bassists (apologies that I don't know all of their names):
Stryper (Tim Gaines) - I saw Stryper several times and remember being amazed how skinny he was and how long his fingers were. Played Arias as I recall. I thought he was a pretty good player that never got enough love in the mix.
Bloodgood (forgot first name, his last name was Bloodgood) - the only bassist I ever saw play a Kubikci bass live. Their singer was really good too - good voice and amazing stage presence.
Barren Cross (name unknown) - These guys were ringers for Iron Maiden and their singer nailed that sound and their bassist had great tone a la Steve Harris. I think he played G&Ls but I'm not sure.
Trytan (name unknown) - They sounded a lot like Rush and were a trio, too, IIRC.
Saint (name unknown) - Sounded a lot like Judas Priest and their bass player had great tone.
Daryl Mansfield Band (name unknown) - Their bassist was left-handed and it was the first time I had ever seen a right handed bass played lefty a la Jimmy Haslip with the lowest string on the bottom. I remember wondering how in the heck anyone could ever play a bass that way.
All of these bands go way way back but I would be interested to know if any of their bassists are still playing out. Thanks in advance. |
