Randy Rhodes. Died far too young.


Was classically trained, which you could hear in his solos.


Had apparently (according to Ozzy) already told Ozzy that he'd leave the band after the next album / tour to go and get his music degree.


We'll never know where he'd have gone from there, but whether or not you like Ozzy Osbourne's music, you shouldn't let that colour your opinion of Randy's playing, he was amazing.





With regards usual suspects, I'm a Slash man. Just for pure attitude in his style.

Verlaine would ususally be up there for me, though his solo stuff was .... ermmm....

Jansch is wonderful. I'd love to say Roy Harper but that's a dubious option until the courts have decided.


Bob'll hate me for mentioning jazz, but Marc Ribot is pretty wonderful without being noodly.


And obviously Andr?s Segovia is the greatest of all time, sin duda.

I'm sure you're spot on. I've never really listened to them that closely, as I just can't get on with Morrisy's voice (personality another story). Like a few of their tracks, but couldn't sit and listen to the inner workings of the bass lines.


Whereas I'm not a huge Stevie Wonder fan, but I can happily listen to his records just for James Jamerson / Nathan Watt's bass lines.

Still the cans on. Whip out Hatful of Hollow - and just listen to the bass on, say, This Night.. or Still Ill. It's so good, great melodic lines in there, doesn't put a food wrong.


Personally I think HOH ought to be compulsory listening for anyone wanting to play in a band. Totally ON IT.

okey dokey.

Have just been through my entire ipod in search of someone who made a difference rather than was justreally good.


Aside from my own obsessions (that'd be robin guthrie and kevin shields) I'd have to go with Lindsey Buckingham.

I mean...the man has a girls' name for goodness sake!!!


and as usual if we're going bassists, there is only one Kim Deal!!!

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
