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!!!

    • Highly recommend new local business Bird & Co. Anthony and Elise are very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, helpful and great to work with. They're very responsive (which is so important when you're trying to put on an event) and they quickly sorted the catering that we needed (middle eastern canapes and wraps). It was absolutely delicious and they thought of everything to create an awesome atmosphere. Everyone was raving about them afterwards, you can't get much better than that! @Anthony Birdinio and @Elise Barnes big big thank you to you both and the team!   https://www.birdandcoevents.co.uk/ Number: 07713 665891 Email: [email protected]
    • Bird & Co are amazing! Will leave a proper review on the recommendations section, but they're a great team, care about food, and know how to put on events.
    • This is very sad news. We absolutely love this place. The food and the atmosphere is amazing.    @Maria - is there anything we can do to support you and your case? Would it be worth members of the forum writing to the local councillor to ask them to look into the situation?   Best of luck and we hope to see you open again soon. 
    • Highly recommend Everton (Smart Choice Driving -  https://maps.app.goo.gl/6JGZeFF9LjoczC3Y6?g_st=ipc ). Incredibly patient, caring and competent.
