mjmooney Posted December 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2020 I like country, but that falls well on the wrong side of acceptable for me (although I'd still rather listen to that ahead of any rap/hip hop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Leslie West, good rock guitarist with 'Mountain' died aged 75. Mississippi Queen - great rock number IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Queen - great rock number IMO. Sad, but not surprising. Obese, diabetic (had a leg amputated in 2011), usual rockstar history of drug abuse. Heartattack waiting to happen. Saw him play with Jack Bruce in 1973, really good guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds University - West, Bruce and Laing. A set drawn from their own album plus loads of Mountain and Cream numbers. By some distance the loudest bass I've ever heard.

veloman Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Interesting. One could start a whole new thread on loudest bass ! Never thought Bruce was that loud with either Graham Bond or Cream so my vote would go to either Lemmy or Bootsy Collins ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought Bruce was that loud with either Graham Bond or Cream so my vote would go to either Lemmy or Bootsy Collins ! I think there were a lot of variables contributing to loudness, especially in those days - the acoustics of the room, particularly. The Who always had a reputation for being loud, but I saw them four times (including very close up), and they wouldn't get in my top ten loudest gigs. Loudest band (slightly surprisingly) were Cheap Trick, closely followed by a lower-league punk band called Bethnal. But the Jack Bruce bass thing was one of those that travelled through the floor and vibrated your skeleton. Almost disturbing.
