I was listening to some Japan last night, such a cool, classy band. What struck me was how sophisticated & so out there was the bass playing of Mick Karn. Truly inspirational. Anybody else like his style of playing?
Not enough positive words can express how much I rate & Love this bass player. Quite remarkable! I was lucky enough to see him play live, once with Japan & twice solo. Genius!! Very, very much missed!!!!
At least Mick was able to live to a reasonable age (54), Cliff was taken from this planet way too soon at 24. I'm not a Metallica fan but Cliff's bass playing is awesome! Of the 2 players Mick does it for me & I find myself playing Japan songs every now & again & always think of Mick.
