paulgraybass - The Beginning Of The End

[@hackermike31]

Back when I was young Eddie and the Hot Rods "life on the line" album was and is still great,this song on L.S.D. was amazing,so fast and in your face,and Paul became part of my favorite band UFO what a great player this man is......

[@KevinWilliams-hm9ct]

One of the greatest songs ever.

[@mrmastersa]

Just the best bass man you want in a band... not only my view but my brothers also... and he sang this song

[@damneddracrose4763]

PG = Legend ! I was over the moon when you rejoined the Damned ! Love your work with Professor and the Mad Man looking forward to the new album, you and Rat are one of the greatest rhythm sections of all time !

[@jamesmatthews4435]

Love it. Remember seeing you guys playing this on the whistle test when I was about 14 and going to school the next day raving about the band. Pure rock and roll spirit . And you have had a fantastic career since too. Total respect mate.

[@paulmichaelides7565]

Great bass player.My favourite Eddie and the hot rods song.They should have had a lot more recognition.

[@Donald.Raindrops]

I second that TOTALLY!

[@stephennowak2884]

Pure Gold, one of the best videos on KZbin. Awesome song, beautiful bass and played like a master. Thanks for posting, so inspirational for a beginner bass player like myself.

[@earthcrew9008]

You looked like you really enjoyed playing that one again Paul, thanks for sharing!!

[@ivarunhjem8391]

Perhaps the greatest rock'n'roll bass player ever. And The Hot Rods the best rock'n'roll band of the late seventies.

[@jamesdodger5588]

Classic, Eddie & The Hot Rods were classic and all the better for your brilliant bass work.

[@jacko850]

been playing for over 30 years and every time i listen to you it shows me how much i should learn more you sir are a legend

[@kevanglc]

One of my favourites tunes of all time! Great playing! I love the catchy riffs! RIP Barry

[@97henrik041]

Marvellous stuff! You can almost smell the diesel coming off this relentless, driving bass. Magnificent, Paul, thank you!

[@mikedeveer1047]

Mannnn those Rics are beasts And ofcourse this bloke GO PAUL GOOOOOO 💗

[@karl_3885]

holy hell. thanks for doing this for us, Paul. be sure, it's really really appreciated.

[@chrisgladstone4270]

One of my favourite tunes of all time. Captures the essence and spirit of what rock n roll is all about in my book, especially the whistle Test performance! Kudos to you Paul for doing this , thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it .

[@punkrocksal]

Thank you Paul :-) I can 'see' you all on stage now performing this, you not being able to keep still :-) Barrie's wonderful expressions. Great tune.

[@eddiemichaels6285]

That's the best song in Rock And Roll, particularly the live version. This comes from someone who's heard it all.

[@simplesecretof]

Agreed, the OGWT live performance is sublime..... pure energy. The middle eight is one of the finest in music. Namaste🙏🏻🕉🙏🏻

[@andyhinds542]

I just love that Rickenbacker!!! What a tone!!!

[@marcoftheshaw]

Brill...This is the track i used years ago to figure my way round a bass Thanks Paul...Brought back a few memories...of sore fingers and Growling at my Bass.. Nice one Thanks!!! Keep Well Mr G

[@hankmorgan3501]

Bloody glorious.

[@Adreamofhoney]

That’s superb!!! Amazingly good song. One of my favs of your bass parts along with Life on the Line. Thanks for sharing!

[@NickHarman]

Lovely, 40 or so years after seeing you lot at the Greyhound Croydon I'm trying to learn bass. I try and do your bass line to 'do anything' and it's bloody hard but Ive loved it since that first time I heard it.

[@chrisst8922]

Paul's 1979 4002 in midnight blue. You can see him using it on the OGWT clip.

[@ShaneWhaley]

Absolute legend, love your videos Paul. Diolch from Vermont!

[@QBtracksandstuff]

Awesome playing and sound Paul. Love that Ricky sound.

[@COL321]

Lovely to watch that, thank you. All the band you've been in were lucky to have you on board.

[@dougoc]

LOVE this!

[@edgryff]

That sir is some damn fine basswork. And the Rick is sweet !

[@DerekLyons]

I love this track from LIFE ON THE LINE ! Brilliant Paul!

[@adriangosbell7736]

thanks for posting, always enjoy your stuff on here.

[@thelightweights3774]

Thanks PG#1. We think PG#2 would love this!

[@candydormizzi2500]

Legend !

[@rogerbranton1752]

Nice one Paul! Some might argue that there's more usable basses but nothing is more fun to play than a 4001!

[@frankbiondo2476]

PG, killer tone on a killer track! Nice job. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!

[@dougsmith7083]

I can only imagine how fucking amazing it was for you lads when you listened to this on playback in the control room after you recorded this...that very 1st time...a phenomenal effort...face melting really. And, the LIVE version from Feb 1978 OGWT might even be better than the insane studio version...WHOAH

[@dougsmith7083]

[@line-sig-linjaaho]

Sounds soooo cool! What a feel and groove!

[@neilbillybob3065]

[@katjabrod9780]

Awesome!

[@deanfeldman2505]

Fun stuff!

[@tankthelord1178]

Nice one PG.

[@rickrocks97]

Thanks Again Paul, entertaining and educational

[@CMZIEBARTH]

Putting in a request for Seagulls.

[@MaxRadin]

My favorite Hot Rods tune - great tone!

[@sensibollox]

What on earth inspired you as a.teenager to play such a great bass part rather than just root notes? At that time I'd never heard lemmy or Burnel etc, bass was in the background.

[@paulgraybass]

those great early 70's players like Roger Glover, Geezer Butler, Entwthistle and Felix Pappalardi ventured up the dusty end a fair bit...

[@FromaTwistedMind]

@@paulgraybass for me.... in these 2 comments, yours & Grahams ALL the best bass players that matter got a mention .... Paul Gray, JJ Burnel, Lemmy, John Entwhistle & Roger Glover. All childhood inspirations for me to play bass btw. I don't think there are any other great bass players are there? 😉 😜

[@dodibenabba1378]

@@FromaTwistedMind Jaco Pastorius

[@FromaTwistedMind]

@@dodibenabba1378 Never heard of him. Never heard of him when l was 12 - 15 years old either. Hence why he's not listed as AN INFLUENCE upon me. Thank you. Have a nice day. 😊

[@suck1879]

COOL！！！！！！！！

[@hadrosaurus]

love this channel... would love to be able to see you on instagram too

[@beefheart1410]

Is that not the same Rickenbacker that was used on the Whistle Test on 28/02/1978? Just wondering as P.G states this bass is a 1979 and it looks very much like the Whistle Test bass to my eye!

[@aciemiller3443]

Fuckin' ace dude!

[@jalmarirantala6059]

Like youngsters say: OMG😃👍. Is it time for me to give up playing all together...

[@DaikyojuGappa]

really? i found this the most inspiring shit in the world!
