I know it's unfair but I have heard opinions voiced before that he is unworthy of that Rickenbacker....  |

Anyone who put in the time in a relationship with Wendy O. deserves whatever bass they want for doing time.

The correct answer is "whatever the $^*&^" he wants.

-ryan- | I'm not dissing Lemmy or Motorhead. I dig 'em lots. In fact, I've seen them several times and have a big love for both No Sleep till Hammersmith and No Sleep at All...

In the liner notes to "Everything Louder Than Everyone Else". I don't have it handy to give an exact quote, but he actually uses almost the same words: "I don't really play bass, I play crude guitar parts on a bass". (paraphrased)
...While looking for that pic of him holding the bass, I ran across an interview in which he said he doesn't write songs with minor chords (much) "because you can't play minors on a bass". !!!
P.S. I totally dig Motorhead, but that doesn't exempt them from a good poking-at. |
