What are you listening to?

I see your early MTV classic, and raise you one vice cop:

 

Isn't it strange how princesses and kings
In clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules

Each must make his life as flowing in
Tumbling block on a stepping stone
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules

Look when the rain has fallen from the sky
You know the sun will be only with us for a while
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules

--adapted from poem, "The Book of Rules", RL Sharpe

 

Wyman is the bomb! Even Keith admits:


Isolated bass shows a master, love the flatwound string tone!

 

Can't get much more 80's than this:

 

Really?

 

This bass and guitar riff sums up the 80s for me

 

Attack of the 80s....

 

Nick Beggs is a MONSTER bass player, has a "hired gun" career now.

 

@AGHisBBS

 

Session player?

 

No attack of the 80's would be complete without:

 

Yep.

 

And this. Great band, truth be told.

 

Tim Commerford, technically a 90's guy, a great player, always with great tone.

 

This wasn't 80s, just something I've been messing with. It's not too fast or difficult, but sounds neat.

 

If you're goin' there, I'm goin here:

 

Lord bless us all

 

RATM is fun to play!
