This is of course lip synching to the recorded track, which I'm betting was not sung and played at the same time.

John | Here's one, although the bass is a bit low in the mix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feBlS...eature=related

| | | | I loved Spacehog. Their "Hogyssey" CD was wonderful. Cynical pop songs that you can sing along to. I caught a few appearances they did on various TV shows, and he definitely can play and "sing" (not everyone's cup of tea, I'll admit) at the same time. Groovy stuff. |

Spacehog was great, and a great sound. Just like many bands from across the pond, it's too bad they didn't fare better here. But I understand they were still touring as of late. |

Same with Sting and even McCartney- the bass tends to be solid but more mechanical than live and flowing while they're singing.
Here's the boss of singing and playing at the same time. I think he's got two different brains- one controls the playing and the other controls the singing. Constantly reinventing and improvising the bass line while singing with the same sense of abandon and freedom.
