[kj] (OT) Bass cadets

[Darren A. Peace]

The bassist on "Learning To Crawl" was primarily Malcolm Foster, although
Big Country's Tony Butler played on "Back On The Chain Gang" and "My City
Was Gone", and The Rumours' Andrew Bodnar played on "Thin Line Between Love
& Hate".  Pete Farndon, the Pretenders' original bassist, had just been
booted out prior to taing a heroin overdose and drowning in the bath.

 

What with Honeyman-Scott, there was a period in the eighties when being a
member of the Pretenders was a high-insurance position.

 

I like the Pretenders.  Good, no-nonsense rock & roll band.

Pete Buck (I am only speaking of early REM, like "Chronic Town", "Murmur"
and "Reckoning") had such a distinctive style of guitar playing.  Actually
inspired me in so many ways.  They were so great in their early years.
Isn't Mike Mills the name of the bassist?  Just listening to "Wolves, Lower"
and am astounded by his playing.  
Who was the bassist on "Learning to Crawl"?  That had some tight bass lines,
for sure.

  I was also going to say John Paul Jones, Youth, and 'that guy from
Siouxsie & and Bs.' 

I'd just add Lee Dorman of Iron Butterfly, Geddy Lee (of Rush) of course,
and the entire Reggae movement in general.
