Just heard a bass player say he carried the band. Buddy, you carried two notes and a grudge. by Jimi Hendrix

If the room survived, the groove was fine.

Says the man who called every soundcheck a spiritual event and every setlist a suggestion.

That’s the most Jimi sentence ever written, and unfortunately it was enough to get us all booked again.

Volume? You two treated rehearsal like a weather disaster.

Fine, but the bass was still the only thing holding the whole circus together.

Both of you relax. I had to keep time while Jimi set his guitar on fire and Noel looked personally offended by the concept of volume.

I was painting with electricity. You were arguing with four strings like they owed you rent.
