I was on the phone with Verizon today. When they put me on hold I heard this wonderful song on hold with an absolutely work of art bassline!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne1lkEEmRCI
While on hold, I ran to my computer and searched the song title. WOW!!! That is bass Heaven to me  |

Whenever I'm on hold with Verizon, it's always massively garbled classical music. Not that I have a problem with classical (I rather enjoy it from time to time) but not when it's garbled beyond all recognition. |

The poor representative was trying to help me out and all I wanted her to do was put me back on hold!!! LOL |

Yeah, nice P Bass tone and Robert Palmer doesn't mind him playing above the 5th fret either. IMO, that bass line makes the song.

Very solid and tasty playing though my favorite parts of the song are the keyboard doing steel drums and then later doing a trumpet solo. Only in the 80's. |

Yeah, nice P Bass tone and Robert Plant doesn't mind him playing above the 5th fret either. IMO, that bass line makes the song. | New? I joined AT LEAST 4-5 days ago. I'm a salty veteran |

I'd steer clear if you're married because G.A.S. can be a home wrecker, and you WILL have a case of G.A.S. if you hang around these boards. Plus, you get to hear little gems like the one posted in the OP. Welcome aboard.

The Palmer clip was probably from some Euro program ("Top Pop?" Never heard of it.) "American Bandstand" was always lip-synched.
A few days back, someone posted a clip of the Raspberries performing(?) the great "Go All the Way" on the Mike Douglas Show. Eric Carmen's lead vox was live, the rest taped. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
