Steve "Bomber" Harris please log in to view this image Founding member of Iron Maiden and a true rock god. At a time when most other rock and metal bass players were just standing at the back thumping out in straight four time Harris elevated the genre with his speedy fingers and intricate patterns. From the Ruskin Arms pub to the biggest stadiums (stadia?) in the world flying about in Iron Maiden's own jumbo jet Ed Force One. Probably more people follow West Ham around the world due to Harris rather than actually supporting the team, he throws out his Irons wristbands at the end of the gigs and has his own custom made Hammers bass.
Oh, I do believe you’re onto something sir. J.J Burnell would like a.... oh , wait, I could be ruining this thread, get it going by Jove !
Mister Donald "Duck" Dunn please log in to view this image Starting his career playing bass as a session musician for the Stax studio, Duck Dunn went on to be part of Booker T and the M.G.s (did you know M.G. stood for Memphis Group? Well you do now) as well as being part of the rhythm section in The Blues Brother's Band. His signature pipe always on the go, Dunn was responsible for laying down the groove on some of the most famous recordings of the 1960s.
Mr Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister please log in to view this image In a varied career from being a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, through his infamous stint in Hawkwind to forming Motorhead Lemmy stood out and in an age where Legend is bandied about far too freely he truly became a Rock God. Usually seen attacking his signature Rickenbacker bass Lemmy approached playing his instrument as a glorified rhythm guitar, combining chords and solos to produce his trademark thundering sound. Check out his autobiography White Line Fever for his take on life and music, simply put he did not give a f.uck about anything other than playing music, snorting copious amounts of speed and drinking Jack Daniel's in quantities that mere mortals can hardly comprehend.
Well, that’s not very grown up or responsible in my opinion. He was also fairly rubbish at card games by all accounts.
Maybe that was how he lost his finger. She said her name was Mingeater and he just thought it was exotic, turns out she had vagina dentata and nipped his pinky off during foreplay.
