Very cool. Shows hoe precise you could play with a pick..I like that attack.

But while that was new at the time. I was diggin' on the rythm section Jim Ayoub(drums) and Paul Hardwood(bass) of Frank Marino and Mahogony Rush. I was full on Frank Marino right before the first VH record..shit back in late '77 / early '78. I was just strating High School.

Guys have you've heard (Carcass-Arch Enemy) Mike Amott's other band Spiritual Beggars. He's been doing it since '95 or so. Total GFR, 70's worship. Very amazing really!!!

Oh, and fellow Ex-Carcass Bill Spears' Firebird.

They should all quit and reform Carcass.

That is all.

Mahogonay Rush Fukin Rules! Damn Bill you must be as old as me! Lol And I agree about a pick. I started with a pick (in the thrash 90's), switch to finger playing and now I use both! I love the attack of a pick but love the freedom with my fingers1

[peabuddy]

Btw, I never heard Carcase but I will look 'em up! lol

[peabuddy]

Bill what do you think about Mars Cowling? another awesome player from those days!

[amimbari]

whew, at least I'm not a forgotten bass player...a constantly harassed one, but not forgotten yet.

[peabuddy]

OUCH!!!! lol

[amimbari]

actually I think bassplayers in general unless your the leader, singer, wrote every song or doing something weird or pornographic is always lost in the mix.
