Nelson.......... =(

[Stoney]

I'd like to pass on my sincere wishes for a bright future to Nelson in whatever he does next....... I'm sure he has his reasons........ I'll miss him on the right of the stage as I watch whoever is to step in....... Great bloke, awesome player, of every thing he seemed to pick up.......
I'm sure everyone else feels the same, he's been there a bloody long time, doing a bloody good job of 4 string wrangling........

^^ all of that. 


All the very best to him!

Thanks for the music, Nelson. Good luck with Surfquake.

[Jibberish]

Thanks for all the great times Nelson, I wish you all the best for whatever comes next. Something new to fall in love with, hopefully

Good luck Nel and thanks. See you on another beach somewhere soon.

Cheers

Yeah, echo all of that. A real shame - but thanks for the last 22 years and all the very best for the future....

Cheers Nelson, you were the first member of NMA I plucked up the courage to talk to (way back at Reading in 91) and I'm pleased to say you've always had time for us fans. Thanks for all the great gigs over the years and good luck with your future endeavours, you will be missed.

Much as I've always loved the music and Justin's lyrics, what first got me hooked to NMA was the bass, and having discovered them and become a fan just after he had joined, to me Nelson was THE bass player, and the band has always been about him as much as it was about Justin... thanks for the last 20+ years Nelson, you will be missed. Good luck for the future and good luck to NMA finding a suitable replacement, it won't be easy

What a shame, but best wishes for the future in whatever you do and thanks for the past 22 years - it's been brilliant, you will be missed and a hard act to follow for whomever steps into the bass playing role.

Perhaps it's the old headbanger in me, but is it strange that I immediately imagined Jason Newsted in the band?

Nelson, you are second to none as a musician, a performer, a human being, and a friend.  It has been a distinct honour to know you, and I hope to run into you again down the road, even though with you no longer in NMA, it will be quite a bit more difficult.

Thank you for your music, and your contribution to the human race as a whole.  All the very best to you brother.

Holy Bat Boogers!!!

Boy, we were just talking a few nights ago about what an incredible bass player Nelson is.
That he has a melodic approach that is always appropriate for the song.

I discovered NMA when I was learning to play bass.
Wore out my cassettes of LOHC and TAC, listening to those bass lines.
So, now I don't play, but my ears have been trained.

Nelson, the very, very best of luck to you and so sorry that we missed you when you played Albuquerque last.

{We could not make the show because there were fireworks near our house that freaked out our dog, and
no dog sitter would help us, so we stayed with the pup, fearing for her health if we left her.

She said thanks for understanding, by the way :>}

Peace and blessings,
Adelheid

I guess someone i.e me needs to ask is this with immediate effect? or are there still plans to be  playing the  summer gigs ?

just wondering

I can't really add anything to what's already been said.. All the best for the future Nelson!
