Re: The Duran Duran Thread
John Taylor is also the best bassist in rock. Fight me.
I know you all hate it, but Save a Prayer is one of my favorite songs.

I LOVE Save a Prayer and yes - JT is a GREAT bass player. The band really suffered when he left - thankfully he came back!!

Re: The Duran Duran Thread
I've actually never thought much about Gene's bass playing skill - good or bad - I think because he (and KISS) are so much about hype that the music takes second stage.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Aug 2018, 3:19pmThunder being a euphemism for genital lesions.WestwayKid wrote: ↑15 Aug 2018, 3:11pmYeah, but Gene is the GOD OF THUNDER!!!!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Aug 2018, 12:17pmGene Simmons finished several places ahead of Wobble.
