    He is 22 now and is the union rep for 500 people just did an EBA and the company wants him to
    Pull out of the union rep and go into management, very highly regarded and laid back kid.
    Never met anyone who doesn't love him the minute they meet him.. Got all the talent and people skills in the family
    He sounds like a real Bontempelli.

        Sad thing is he has absolutely no interest in sport whatsoever and neither has my daughter, but if you ask them they are bulldog supporters.

            For me John Entwistle of The Who would have to be right up there. Crazy good. The Who Live at Leeds would be one of my all time favourite albums and the bass lines on Young Man Blues and My Generation in particuliar are phenominal.

                Great suit. Not many people could get away with wearing a suit like that. Luckily Pete isn't like other people.
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    If you want a bass player who arguably influenced an entire genre, look no further than Bernard Edwards from Chic. His bass line from 'Good Times' was sampled a few months later by Sugar Hill Gang for their iconic song 'Rapper's Delight' (which was the first hip hop song to ever chart in the US top 40), and has since been sampled dozens of times (most recently by Daft Punk). It also heavily influenced John Deacon from Queen when he wrote 'Another One Bites the Dust'. Fantastic song and a killer bass line:

                    Agreed. They had a wicked drummer too in Tony Thompson.

                    As far as bass players go Duran Duran had a good one in John Taylor (who actually formed the Power Station in 85 with Tony Thompson from Chic). John was very under-rated and his bass line in the song Rio was an inspired groove for 1982 (I think).
                    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
