The Last Bass Outpost

In some cases, I had heard of the bands, but just hadn't heard any of their music.  In other cases, I had heard their music.

In reading through the comments, it seems to me quite a few people missed the point.  This is a list of bands that might have been popular in the UK, but not the U.S.  Some people commenting seemed offended some of their favorite bands weren't on the list.  This is not a popularity list.  It's a list of bands from the UK relatively unknown in America.  Also, it doesn't mean all Americans haven't heard of these bands.  In my case, for example, I had heard a lot of music by Stereophonics, but just thought it was way too pop and not rock enough at all.  Some of those other bands might be more to my liking if I listen enough to some of their music.  Kasabian would be prime example.  I've heard a lot about them, but wouldn't be able to name even one song by them.  In general, I'm not too familiar with this time period in music, whether American, British or something else.  But I'm always interested in something new if I can just find it.  Just because a band wasn't popular in America isn't a determining factor to me.  I'm interested in what I think myself.

I think Rick Beato has the best review.  However, he says he is glad the song was released and I'm not so sure.  I think the other two of those last songs were better.  Also, I think AI may have changed John Lennon's voice to sound a little like Paul McCartney's.  I was watching a video of someone who said he had experimented once with AI on a song.  It changed one voice on the song to sound more like what it considered the dominant voice. In this case, Paul's voice would have been considered the dominant voice, in spite of the fact that this was John's song. 

This just happened to be almost a random song which ended up as the Beatles' last song.  I don't think it should be considered an official swan song.  There were others that might have been better, IMO.  I just got a FedEx delivery of Philip Norman's book "George Harrison:  The Reluctant Beatle."  Personally, I'm more interested in this book than the Beatles final song.  It's supposed to be pretty good, although I have a feeling it's unnecessarily harsh.  I'll know soon.

This video is several months old.  Also, the guy who did it said his account has been suspended.  But I found some of his examples here interesting.  These are just examples of CDs which have sold for high prices on EBAY.  It doesn't necessarily mean that's what they're really worth in real life.  That Aerosmith CD is similar or just like one I got for a friend several years ago who is a big fan.  I told her it was going to turn out to be pretty valuable.  But she either didn't care or just didn't believe me.  She said she mostly cared about streaming and CDs were becoming obsolete.  Yikes, I wish I had kept that Aerosmith CD for myself, though. Still, I've got many CDs and will continue buying them.

I don't know the source.  But I've run across some comments supposedly made by Dave Mustaine in which he said playing bass was easy.  That it was only one step above a kazoo.  The context was his observations after watching a Mike Huckabee video.  Maybe someone can verify the source.  I haven't been able to. 

Update:

I found it.
