@AGHisBBS - what's your thoughts on Andy Rourke? Worth emulating at all? I like his bass lines, as he's always right underneath Johnny Marr's strum pattern, perfectly. He and Marr have good chemistry, Examples:
And if you get Lords of Acid....you probably know about this! Worth a watch in 2017, it's literally a time capsule of a great party era.
A client of mine just bought me tickets to see the almighty Uli Jon Roth next year is Asbury Park New Jersey. Not only did he get tickets to the show, he also got the Metamorphosis VIP package which means I will see Uli play Vivaldi's Four Seasons in it's entirety. I really am lucky to have such an awesome job and have made some of my best friends being a trainer !!!
Andy Rourke is an awesome bass player! Definitely falls into the unsung hero category. Definitely worth a strong listen. Somehow I always group him in with Peter Hook, though the style is different.
