New Model Army / Re: My Lyrics To The "Caslen" Instrumental

Does anyone else remember this one  :D

I do.  That point where I was somewhat trying to keep the peace.  I think that was before I was getting those vile PM's from him?  Maybe not. Dunno, it was a decade ago.  God knows, things got subsequently nasty.  Spacewind somehow managed to get permanently banned... twice!   ;D

Looking back I can't believe we were all indulging him at his worst moments.  But you know what?  I'd quite welcome the fella back.  Maybe, in the years since, he might admit to being a great big troll.  Or possibly start insulting us again.  Who knows?  Could be fun either way.   ;)

New Model Army / Re: Favourite NMA song for JS lyrics ?

Really enjoyed this topic/thread. Just read through it again. Back in the day and all that,,

I'm also often reading old threads.  Great times... yes, even reading from those posts from 'a certain someone'...  ;D

I did notice how I got some responses in that thread I made about the possibility of an NMA book from some old faces... perhaps if we start a few more of these things we might get some more life back around these parts?   ???

Up the Beach - Jane's Addiction. An unusual piece, still a favourite after many a year

I also love the haunting "Summertime rolls", "Ocean size" and all the tracks from this excellent album. But my favourite JA songs are the incredible, wonderful "Then she did" and "Three days". Also "I would for you" on the first/live album. Dave Navarro is great in this band and the rythm section from Stephan Perkins and Eric Avery is too often underrated.

Rainy Night, you know who. It's a bit of an unsung treasure.

yes very haunting song if you're talking about "Rainy night 65", i especially love the last instrumental part of the song when the music seems to "float", it's incredible...if i remember well Michael Dean chose this track for the "Anthology" cd compilation.

If you're talking about this "Rainy night", it's also a great song from a late, great artist!:

Back n the new Florence And The Machine album... it's really rather good.

Ten years later...i agree! I only recently found this band but I am now captivated by Florence's voice and lyricism...I love the title track of this album "How big how blue how beautiful".

Florence"s concert in Hérouville St Clair/Caen (where NMA played in the cool little venue le Big Band Café at least 5 times) in 2015, for the release of the album:

New Model Army / Re: Best bass,drums and guitar parts in NMA's discography?
« Last post by Guillaume on August 26, 2025, 10:02:37 PM »
I've added "vocals" to the thread! If there are any singers among you, what are your favorite Justin singing moments on the 15 NMA albums (and his two solo albums)?


Oh and not forgetting the legend that is Lemmy and his phenomenal driving bass!... unbelievably his bass setting was full treble..full middle and the bass off (on zero!)..his Rickenbacker played at such a crushingly loud volume it that it distorted to F**k!

His bass sound was special! I love the powerful intro to "Ace of Spades" for example.


anyhow all 4 of NMA's bassists are in my top 20 greatest bassists in history:
My top 5 are:
1 Stuart Morrow
2 JJ Burnell
3 Bruce Foxton
4 Geddy lee
5 Paul McCartney

I like JJ Burnel, and I think Stuart Morrow likes him a lot too!

As for bassists, I'd mention well-known figures like Phil Lynott, Stanley Clarke, Steve Harris, and Robert Trujillo (mainly for his playing on Infectious Grooves and Suicidal Tendencies, because I have trouble hearing his bass in Metallica!), and then I'd add two bassists who are perhaps a little less well-known but who are worth listening to: Eric Avery of Jane's Addiction (the famous song "Three Days," for example) and Graham Bailey of the fabulous band The Sound (listen for Bailey's playing: "Longest Days," "Total Recall," "Sense of Purpose," "A New Way of Life," "We Could Go Far," etc.).

"Longest days": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsH8rzUne_A&list=RDlsH8rzUne_A&start_radio=1&ab_channel=ABorlandFan

"Three days": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QimlMkyR4fI&list=RDQimlMkyR4fI&start_radio=1&ab_channel=Jane%27sAddiction-Topic

"Could this be heaven" (i don't remember the name of Original Mirror's bass player, but i really like his/her bass line on this song):

Everything Else / Re: Non NMA gigs you just got home from or are going to

There was a 'jazz and blues' festival in that little town where I live these days (of which only about 30% of bands fitted that category but whatever) and it was one of the best nights out I've had this year.  Various acts playing all over the place and all free entry. Punk rockers Vomit (formed in 1977 and local boys) playing a tiny sweaty and packed social club and what a good band they were too, then some lovely girl doing her own acoustic stuff at a local pub, must look up her name, and then the Town Hall hosting a band called Skatrain, basically a 7-piece cover band playing stuff from that fantastic era to an absolutely packed crowd, everyone from kids to old fellas dancing like nutters to those great tunes.

(then off to Wetherspoons until 1AM...  ;D )

Just goes to show you don't have to go to see some big name act and pay big money to have a brilliant night out... if you love live music and are open minded about what you want to see you can find talented acts anywhere.  It's certainly made me more open to catching unknown acts in my local region that aren't charging much.  You never know what you might find!   :)
