Re: Music videos that feature Gibson EB-2 and Epi Rivoli basses...

Did anybody ever wear his guitar higher than Gerry Marsden?

[Alanko]

Billy Sheehan keeps his bass straps fairly short, which I think makes him look a little dorky. There was some post-rock band whose guitarists had stupidly short straps, but I forget their name.


Epi EB-2 D? Or a copy? Fairly shite band either way.

Looks more like an Epiphone Rivoli reissue to me but I could be wrong.   I headed your warning and watched the video with the volume off

Is that an EB-2 or a Rivoli, hard to catch it and the upper and lower horn look kind of weird? Soundwise, it could be, with the baritone switch activated.



See, Jake, sometimes I even post punk!

I had forgotten about Simonon  using one in that vid - he never had one in any other vid or show where pictoral evidence remains.

FYI, such a great performer and player despite rather humble/naive beginnings.  He was the star on the stage when I saw The Good the Bad and the Queen (Albarn was lackluster and Tong litterally stoodmotionless in a dark rear corner of the stage looking down the whole time).

He was certainly the best-looking kid in The Clash - chiseled features.

I never realized until now that he is an impressionist. With his agit-punk background I was either expecting harsh realism or something abstract ..., how bourgeois!





All revolution is essentially middle class.

The paintings are pretty impressive

[uwe]

l'm not the world's greatest Impressionism fan, but they're well-done. Of course, as impressionist painters go, poor Paul runs a serious risk of either going mad/cutting off his ear



or going colo(u)r-blind/losing his fine sight (that's a late stage Monet, not a Van Gogh):



Let's just hope he doesn't.

[Dave W]

Mighty nice paintings.

[uwe]

Dave is being ironic ..., the "mighty" gives it away ... 

[nofi]

its not impressionism until you can't recognize the subject matter.
