Always loved that.
And another [MENTION=21158]Weststander[/MENTION]. The InnPlace

One of my brothers, same age as you, spent those years at Papillon, The Inn Place, Basement etc.
I was an envious early teen, stuck at fkn home.
Some neat bass playing on this.
Edit: just had a wander down the death metal and related path. Some of the lyrics are...ludicrously offensive. Minds of fifteen year olds who haven't been out much

Impressive as Mike Kerr of Royal Blood is (and he is impressive), especially in his use of all the effects under the sun, you still have to respect the master.

,,,,,,,........and this guy was doing stuff like this 50 years ago (back in those happy innocent days when all you had (if you could afford it) was a Danelectro bass and a decent amp!)

Absolutely loved the AWB.
Saw them four times and never a bad concert ( the one at the dome supported by Inner Circle was genius)
Lot of music snobbery going one this thread. I saw Duran Duran three times and loved every concert. Energy created and great fun concerts. So what if a load of young girls liked them….the early Beatles shows were full of screaming young girls.
First time I have heard Rio broken down by bass and that is genius. I remember seeing an interview with Black Sabbath and Tommi saying how Geezer Butler was originally a rhythm guitarist, but Tommi insisting that they only needed one guitarist, so he took up bass and ended up playing the bass like a lead guitarist. Again if you look at some of the YouTube videos and listen to Sabbath albums, he is not the regular type of bass player.
Chic / sister Sledge/ sugar hill gang etc bass player, Bernard Edwards is my all time favourite bass player.

Journey to Addis and The story has been Told are in my top 5 reggae albums.
One of the best live bands I ever saw.

Good call . Nothing too elaborate but perfect for the song. As aside Tina Weymouth did a brilliant documentary recently on Sky Arts all about the development of bass guitar over the years.

FWLIW JT is a good bass player. But Duran Duran are a girls band ;-)

Which is also how Lemmy ended up with Hawkwind, as good as a reason to plonk this on the thread...

Lovely.
I have taken a modest interest in Sabbath for51 years. But who is this Tommi of whom you speak?

Love this little video showing Metallica's bass players over the years playing the nice little intro to 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'. Really Showtime's the different styles.
