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!!!

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
