The Last Bass Outpost

I know, sigh. You don't like to recognize what you eat.

Herr Weller with an unorthodox right hand style on a 4003/4001 ...



And his acolyte with a 4005 that actually belonged/belongs to Paul Weller and was loaned to Noel for the recording of the fourth Oasis album ("Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants ...") when the band were temporarily without a bassist, with Noel rising to the occasion with typical Mancunian swagger: "Well, it's only a friggin' bass, how hard can it be?!":


Actually, his bass riff in the verses is a nice one, a little on the psychedelic side.

Always love this show! I'll have to revisit it! I'll give the theme a listen when I get a chance.

Hey, we Yanks have both gourmet dishes: burgers AND cheeseburgers!

I've eaten it in Chile in a Peruvian restaurant. It doesn't look much different on a plate to rabbit or hare served complete




which I like as well. It actually tastes like it too. Long before guinea pigs became pets they were livestock in South America (where they initially come from), a peasant dish.

I'd eat one of those in a heartbeat, it looks tasty. Anyone who has ever kept a guinea pig as a pet should know that they make much more sense fried on a plate. A very rudimentary rodent with - unlike, say, a pet rat - low entertainment value.

When did you Yanks become so squeamish  , I've eaten pig's and goat's head often [not really unusual back in the 60s and 70s with German butchers, we basically had "headmeat" ('Wellfleisch')



every Monday when our butcher had freshly slaughtered, those cheeks tasted yummy] - likewise we often had oxtail soup.



To this day, I order my fish in one piece "together with the head" all the time (so does my son) and have enjoyed fruit bat (tastes game-y) in the Seychelles as well as insects and snake in Zaire. Not finding a place where you could get opossum stew when my son and I did a road trip in the Southern US was a real let-down, people thought we were joking.

What we eat and don't eat, find appetizing or not, is all wholly culturally acquired. I generally do as the Romans.

I was never away, just gone!

You and Keith form a Rush-subforum then! 

I remember very well how shaken and full of woe Dave was during Keith's meter-confused Rush years. Stuff like that worries you as a parent.

Welcome back Uwe. What took you so long?

No matter how hard Rob, the a-romantic resident John Waite fan, feigns disinterest, the two (Alison + John) are an item and a happy couple!

Always liked Alvin's fluid playing. There was a time when he was likely a bit overrated as a guitarist followed by the rest of his career where he was underrated. He had a real rock'n'rill and blues groove.

Meanwhile, back in the 70s in Deutschland ...

With Jürgen Rosenthal, the original busy drummer who would join Eloy (after having to leave the Scorpions due to being drafted into the army) ...



A couple of years later with Belgian import Rudy Lenners ...
