It's All About That Bass. // Birthdays for Manic Street Preachers and Neil Young // Thoughts on Iron Maiden Senjustsu // Everything Bass with Leon Bateman

1 Listener
In which our heroes talk s*** about basslines, bassists and all things bass. It's all about that bass bass bass! This week Rob is joined by bass player extraordinaire, Leon Bateman.
Leon has been on the show a few times now and will hopefully become a semi-regular guest host as we move forward. We note a few anniversaries including 50 years of Neil Youngs Harvest, and a 30th birthday for the Manic Street Preachers debut record, Generation Terrorists. After getting Leons thoughts on the most recent release from his favourite band, Iron Maiden, we have a chat about Justin Hawkins (from The Darkness) new Youtube channel and some of Leons favourite records that weren't written by Steve Harris and co. This takes us down a path that leads to the bottom of the scale. Bass.
Leon has played bass since he was 14, and we touch on some of the telling offs we got as he tried to practice while his Dad was in bed after a night shift. Since then he's played in a few bands, most notably with Rob on drums in a small room at the back of the youth centre to audiences of zero. He has moved on to play with more talented but less fun musicians and to notably bigger audiences.
Finally he presents a bass centric playlist for us listen to containing such artists as Billy Ocean, Space Hog, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and, of course, Mr Stevie Wonder.
Oh, Rob also manages to coax the bass line to Salt 'n' Peppa's "Push it" out of his battered old guitar. Stick around to the end for that treat!!
