Well of course they would, where do you think the term "walking bass line" came from? I thought everybody knew that.
He then left the band to join the Bee-Geesus. Most people do not know, but Jesus is the lead signer of the Bee-Gees!
When recording, if you use the 'Fade Out' switch at the end of a take, your gear, studio and song will disappear into oblivion never to be seen or heard from again.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon were less fortunate. I took them eight days that week.
Script and lyrics of the Rock Opera Tommy are the work of extraterrestrials. They were found in Area 51...

Γ = G
Δ = D

Ζ = Z

I always thought it was because they use smashing plates instead of crash cymbals.
That certainly contributes to the weird sound.
By the way, crash cymbals were derived from bronze Roman shields.
