I think that my definition of cool is very different from some of yours....

I can't seem to find a good picture of him, but Dougie from Travis is the dude. He doesn't need tights, or big hair, shiny cothes, tats or studs or a bare chest to look cool. Despite a massive nose, he manages to pull of the vintage/modern/euro look with great style, He plays a rack of great looking vintage fenders, and has the moves to groove on stage. Even though he is the bassist, he has the women's attention whenever he wants it.

I finally got a chance to see them live last year, and I was like that cat is what a rock and roll bass player should be.

This isn't about the music, but I must mention his less is more playing style lives in the pocket and never fails....

I totally agree with you!

Travis played last weekend here in southamerica with starsailor and the killers and Dougie really really REALLY has got to be the coolest looking guy I've ever seen on a stage...

I mean it was like...his hips were all over the place dude...talk about elvis...
