Billy Bad Breaks Bass Breakdown

[@dougsmith7083]

The first three bass players in the Damned were best (sensible) even better BEST (Algy) and, then SILLY UNREAL GODHEAD BEST (Paul Gray) as a bassist myself, players like Paul are the reason I play and, an inspiration to be better

[@gordonthomson5599]

Excellent

[@brucewilsonmusic]

One of the greatest days of my life. Bought the Friday 13th ep at Ripping Records. Went home played it to death. Got geared up and went down to the Friday 13th gig. All in sunny Edinburgh. Even managed to get a bootleg of the gig later. Love your Basslines and all the music you did with the Damned. Thank You.

[@goulder72]

It is an absolute joy to have Paul back and see him play

[@Eklektik40]

The first song you wrote?! One of my favorite!! Because of the bass lines... like The Black Album, which is a masterpiece. So complete, ecclectic, with a lot of imagination and craftsmanship. Still listening to it from start to beginning. Every fakkin' song is great on that album!!!

[@wheezvonklaw284]

One of the best bass driven pop blasts ever!

[@lilystretz385]

Friggin tastyyyy So thankful that you made this Paul! You are such an inspiration to me and the way I play bass ! Forever shredder 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@ericfenez4094]

une ligne de basse signée Mister P GRAY!!!!! je la connais par coeur depuis la sortie du fantastique Friday the13th .....thanx a lot .

[@iainweir]

The Noisybird on fire like Southend Pier periodically is too!

[@DottedOut]

What a treat! Thanks for doing these videos, you are a class act mister!

[@davidtrupp9289]

All his videos make me realize just how MONUMENTAL THE DAMNED were. Right with he Stranglers as the most under appreciated pop bands

Excuse me friend..... 'just how MONUMENTAL THE DAMNED 'are'. Heard their newest album? What d'ya reckon?

[@misslibs100]

Jeesus cripes that was incredible

[@mrstrawberrypig]

Super duper. Pg. Fav tune with the best bassist ever next to lemmy. Joy. Yeahhhhhh

[@mkiswatoo]

I've always preferred the instrumental version of this song because of this incredible bassline

[@Kelly14UK]

Damned But Not Forgotten. That and Strawberries were a good double package.

[@beefheart1410]

Great looking guitar. The scale length looks massive.

[@LittleMissIssues]

OH man!!! I LOVE the bassline AND the bass AND the guy playing it!!! Xoxo YOU ROCK PAUL GRAY!! Xo xo

[@headsmasherfuzz]

helluvh bass, awesome. timeless.

[@MrStrummer1977]

A master class Paul.

[@benhansom]

Thanks so much for these videos Paul, they're absolutely fantastic. Many hours were spent by teenage me cooped up in my bedroom, playing along to these records over and over again trying to work out the basslines - it used to drive my mum mad! Glad to finally see I got at least some of it right :) All the best

[@reptilesRnice]

Good lord this is inspiring stuff! I've only recently started learning guitar but now want to jump ship over to bass! Love your work!

[@andythompson554]

This is the nuts Paul! Wicked bass line! Only just come across this on You Tube! You still playing with a band?

[@milosit]

Masterful!

[@tretto5967]

How do you do this it’s amazing 👍

[@NeilTaylor1]

Wonderful stuff. Great riff and a lovely song.

[@CENTAURAUTOPSY]

killer jam!

[@missytreats]

I’ve always wanted to be able to play this song.

[@rjart4]

FABULOUS!!

[@MrRandsauce]

To me, this is as good as seeing The Damned live.

[@sdd78]

Awesome. The most tuneful bass player ever. Everybody in the group has to up there game when he's playing

[@richardschneeberger7162]

Thanks Paul - I always loved this Damned tune - somewhere there is an instrumental version I heard once - maybe just minus Dave's vocals?

[@qdaveq6597]

This video has just been described as "Joyous" by Martin Popoff on Sea Of Tranquility. He's right.

[@undine6406]

Awesomely awesome, Thanks Paul :)

[@russell90ful]

Hi I'm not sure if you are still responding hopefully you do I have sent two questions and another one which is have you done any videos of songs from the first two albums if not hope you will thanks for the other videos all the bass mate take care

[@RodrigoAlves-bc8qq]

Martin Popoff brought me here.

[@candydormizzi2500]

A legend at work !

[@neilbillybob3065]

I had the ep of this single yrs ago incl Disco Man & Billy Bad Breaks .. the bass was what made this track. Paul your a great player did you play on the original ep. ?

[@OriginsReborn]

Definitely Cool!! Even gazes out window at 1:26 :)

[@twistedspanner]

I love that little fill in that appears on many Damned songs. E:-g Smash it up Part 1 etc.

[@MrFolloni]

Incredible

[@reverandblackstoneandthera7053]

Check out the punky rnb sounds of Charlie Croker and the Providers on you tube, tracks like cab driver, bubble car, the croker, can't get enough , second best and others are red hot n rockin, they supported you in Chester 1996 when you playing with the Hot Rods

[@russell90ful]

are you playing through that practice amp by the rickenbacker and if so what is it

[@macthedrummer1]

BRILLIANT

[@billymillar6726]

Well coo.l it should Have been on the A side or was it ? Discoman ?

[@五党大衆]

かっこいいリードベース

[@garywhitehead4160]

That’s another bass line to get my teeth into... cheers

[@Kelly14UK]

Plus Friday 13th and Damned But Not Forgotten are the best record sleeves

[@FromaTwistedMind]

Fucking EXCELLENT post, BEST bassline EVER IMHO. What? The pick ups and knobs on ya Thunderbird, what model/year is it? Never seen one like that ever. Cheers. Oh! Should be a Paul Gray Signature model!?

[@64DirtBlocks]

Is there any way i could find the tabliture for this song, i cant find the bassline anywhere online.

[@1982Grrr]

This is so fucking cool
