I saw a vdo clip of rancid playing a few years ago. I thought the outstanding difference between them and other punk bands was the bass work. It was a real joy to hear a punk band with anyone at all in it actually able to play music!!

I love the Living End's version of the Prisoner Theme (On the Inside).

Mind you, I also play and love Anthrax's version of Pipeline, so my tastes aren't anything to write home about - LOL.

Just realised I should post some of this guy, as a more recent inspiration; not just in terms of playing, but he seems to be an absolutely amazing person as well.

(and Zakk, I promise I will get that stuff to you - I've just been spending all my mental energy in organising exams - sorry dude, but they finish next week, so it won't be long

Well the last I posted was Jason Becker - here's a slightly more recent photo (though not that recent - must be early 90s); he's much worse now, and has been since 1997 (stable since then) - I just can't find any pictures

Many/most of those recently posted by others I have no idea about, so I'm no use to you

(and I presume you could identify the ones I posted initially)

ok, found more recent ones, now that the photo section on his own website loaded for me; starting with a link to this: http://64.162.150.71/JBGruesomeTruth.htm

More here

I just feel so sad every time I see the state he's in now, but so inspired whenever I read anything he's written about how he copes. He's an amazing guy.
