For the brave only! The Shee Gees!

Post by johnashfield »

So... last fall some buddies of mine asked me to play bass in the Shee Gees... (the previous spring we performed as shELO) It was a blast and totally goofy, some of the songs show that we only rehearsed 3 times... but musical disasters can be fun sometimes! Or at least funny!

In any event, I think my 4001c64s sounds pretty cool... and what about that great yellow dress?

;-)

John, John, John!

You guys must have ate the red acid, BRILLIANT!!!!

Yellow is your color. I thought you struck an amazing resemblance to McCartney, Heather that is.

Loved the part where prior to the start of "Message", you guys are working out the chords and arrangement. That is my signature move.

Bass sounded great! I enjoyed the trip down disco lane. Well done!
I'm just happy to be here.

When Morpheus asked you to choose the blue or red pill, which did you take?

Great sound on the Rick for sure! Image

I never did like the Bee Gees.

Thanks for the comments everyone! It was fun! In a month we are playing as either the Sun Queens, or the Polythene Pams and playing "Abbey Road" from start to finish which should be some sort of glorious disaster!

So perhaps I should post some links to the shELO tunes as well...

John, how drunk did you guys.. uh, I mean, GREAT FUN!! Looks like everyone had quite the time. Nice tone on that bass too - I had to get headphones as the speakers on my notebook are horendous. You look great as a blonde, btw.

Still having nightmares about the lead singer's outfit on your left?! :D
