Yeah same here...Geezer is a big influence on me too. He pretty much invented heavy metal bass playing and he was a great player to boot.

that is cool...I wonder what it sounds like. I never heard one of those old style six string basses before.

yeah I definitley agree with Kevin...Suffolk girl is totaly awesome and is my fave. Runnin' was also quite kick butt.

harry you rock!!! every song I've ever heard you play is awesome, keep it up!

I hate to ask this question cause I know it's been asked a million times before but I couldn't find the answer by using the search function...how do I resize a pic so I can upload it to the forum? I just got a camera and I want to post some pics of the Union Jack in action.

I know I could just ...

genesis in the seventies = awesome!
genesis in the eighties and beyond = not so much

I'm not what you would call a genesis fan...I've only ever heard the stuff they play on the radio from the Phil Collins genesis. The Peter Gabriel stuff is awesome from what I've seen on this show...I'll have to ...
