I’m looking forward to this! I’m sure I must be wrong so correct me if I am. But Paul has not done an album with other musicians since Wings? He has a great band now. Always wanted to see him take them in to the studio and record something! But the albums he’s put out since Wings have been him...

I saw a link to a YouTube video and it looked like they were gonna be unfair to the guys. So I clicked on the video fully expecting to put a comment in their defending them and ended up laughing my arse off. It’s very well done lol. Thought you folks would enjoy it to!

Claus Voorman did the cover how cool. I didn’t know this thanks for the link @G-Dog . “Voormann, who'd moved to London, worked for three weeks in his tiny attic apartment. He used pen and black ink to create four large line drawings of the Beatles. He then combined the drawings with a collage...

Rumor is that a “Rubber Soul” remix is next!

Lol of course I did not mean me personally. I’m surprised that was your takeaway. I guess my writing wasn’t clear. But Revolver 22’ is the most recent remix and George’s work is more clear and prominent in that mix. So if I’m thinking of George, IE his birthday, I’m thinking of this remix in...

@G-Dog not sure if you posted that particular album cover for a reason but I have been updating all my Beatles playlist at Apple Music this week and replaced all my revolver songs with the Revolver 22’ mix. To my ears it’s superior to the other mix. Had headphones on last night and the...

Great post. Thanks. As far as biggest event of the “60s” I would only add the assassinations of the Kennedys. Heres a cool list.. The Sixties . Timeline . Text Version | PBS

Between 1962-1970 they wrote recorded and released 188 original songs. That’s mind boggling! Especially considering most of them were great songs! And their were also untold numbers of songs they wrote that were never released or recorded for an album. List of songs recorded by the Beatles -...

Hey everyone. Let me ask you a question. The setup. I was born in 1961. My mom was the 2nd oldest of 14 kids. I had aunts and uncles that were not much older than me and only 3 to 10 years older. I was ALWAYS in love with music. From my earliest memories. It was an escape from the mayhem around...

Since this thread seems to be speaking about watts and loudness I can add this take. I got a new amp for Christmas. It’s the new Boss Katana bass 60. It is amazing. Louder than my Rumble 500. Sounds better. More versatile. Yes. Louder than my Rumble 500. Not sure how that’s possible but that’s...

True. They are instantly recognizable. Perhaps worldwide? Maybe some of the most famous people ever? @13bass shared this pic on January 6th here (thank you) and I had never seen it or didn’t remember seeing it and it took me a minute to sort them out. Paul was the easiest for me…

I never thought of John and Paul as singers. I think of them as brilliant artist and songwriters. Creative geniuses. Sure I’m not singing “Oh Darling” and “Don’t Let Me Down” anytime soon lol so they could sing. Great singers even. But #12? Even at #26 too high. Too many great singers out there...

Drives me nuts seeing guitars laying around on the floor and leaning against amps ready to tumble to the ground. In the 70s we always leaned the guitars with the fretboard facing the surface if it was leaning on anything. Usually it was in a really cheap flimsy guitar stand or placed in an open...

The black nylon tape wounds. Cool. I always thought he started using them during the Let It Be sessions. But even earlier. Cool. I have them on my short scale now.

Never really liked any of the movies. They just seemed like marketing tools to me. Goofy. Pointless. Just marketing. So I never gave them serious thought. Paul said the “Magical Mystery Tour” album was not meant to be an album and they hated that “album.” Apparently it was only meant to be an...

lol never saw this. Love this. I wanna get a framed copy of this and hang it in my studio lol. Thanks @G-Dog !

I think Penny Lane fits great between with a little help and Lucy. And Strawberry Fields works starting side two and goes in to Within You perfectly. Same kind of vibe the end of Strawberry in to the intro of Within You. And @Rumble Thunder if fits perfectly with your feeling that John and Paul...

Now this is fun! Ok I have “Penny Lane” on side one right after “With a Little Help” and just before “Lucy in the Sky”. I have “Strawberry Fields” opening up side two segueing in to “Within You Without You”. I think it is important to remember how we used to (some still do) listen to music...

I think people assume the Boys couldn’t play it live when I think they could have. They could have hired orchestras and toured with Billy Preston on keys and hired a horn section. Or they could have played the songs more raw and straight forward. We have to keep in mind what touring with a rock...

I think this is pretty cool. https://youtube.com/shorts/-3yMYfMCes4?feature=share

You said your a guitarist. So I am assuming you have a guitar amp and other gear. Perhaps a 6 string guitar or two? Every time I am buying new gear I am looking at what I can live without. And I trade that in. As always if you trade for another piece of gear you get more value than if your...

Well. Andy. Knows. His. S… Lol

EBS MicroBass 3 2-channel Preamp Pedal One box. mute switch. Pre and post. Your choice. Maybe this?

Primus is definitely not my cup of tea but that guy can play. There’s no doubt about that…

He does live in North “America” right? Lol

I too like and respect all those guys you mention here. And I know this thread is a tribute to English bassist. But you did ask are there any good American bassist (even if your tongue was planted firmly in check) So just to add to the conversation (hopefully) consider these American bassist...

Did anyone mention 45 rpm (Or 33 rpm) btw is if your that age you know that reference…

Donald Fagens The Nightfly - 1982 Perfection…

I thought Little Feats come back album after Lowell George passed was great. Little Feat- Let It Roll (1988) For sure check it out…

Just read an interview with Liberty DeVitto (ex drummer of Billy Joel) he was Joel’s drummer for 30 years. 1976-2006. Then one day without notice or discussion Liberty found out he was no longer the drummer. He was pissed. Billy was pissed. Both were too stubborn to call each other and discuss...

Hey no offense to the recent posts here but this thread has been dead for almost a week now. There’s been a total of 8 post since last Wednesday. Shouldn’t there be a moderator to close this down? Again. No offense to the people posting here. But I think this thread is done.

This: Led Zeppelin. Stairway. Kennedy Center Honors… Every damm time. Weird. I must be getting old (61)

Yep. Did Al Gore invent the internet? Former Vice President Al Gore is frequently quoted as claiming credit for the invention of the internet, but what he actually said in a 1999 CNN interview was “I took the initiative in creating the internet.” Gore was widely mocked for this statement. But...

Your right about instruments being just as unaffordable then as they are now. But concerts? I had a different experience. Concerts were cheap. I was piss poor a lot and still went to see a lot of concerts. Concerts were like 5 bucks. There were some shows I saw by gathering and returning enough...

By “Crusty and salty” do you mean old? Because the guy who posted the question here is young. Probably born in the last 30 years because he states he wishes he was born then. The older people here think he’s wrong. So there’s that…

Why did you choose the years 1977 to 1991? Just curious. For me the 80s sucked. ALL of the 70s were good. Too young to know about the 60s band scene. (But I was immersed in the great music on the radio and from my aunts and uncles and older brothers records) The 90s were ok. But why 77’-91’...

He mentioned there were two bassist that responded. I was just watching a video earlier today for some reason on YouTube not sure why I clicked but it was from 2005 and it was Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire. (Maybe that’s why big fans of both) and Chicago opened with a song and everyone in...
