i remember buying a copy of NME and melody maker when it was announced that Nelson was to be the new bassist for NMA... was that really 22 years ago... thanks for the chats weve had over the last few years and i wish you all the best. there is a very serious and large pair of boots to be filled here.

Everyone has said it better than I ever could, but THANK YOU NELSON for all those gigs and albums, that tremendous bass playing (oh aye, geetar & drums too) and may good things follow you and yours in all the future holds. Good Luck Sir

Just adding my melancholy voice to all of the others. For over 20 years, New Model Army has been my favorite and you were always THE bass player of the band for me too. Take care Nelson - you will be missed wholeheartedly. Good luck in your adventures

v sad news indeed  :(, but perhaps it also heralds the return of stuart morrow or moose?

Nah, it'll be Andrew Eldritch again. :)

Sorry to see you go Nelson, from another one who only discovered the band after you joined, making you and JS the only constant presences on my NMA journey.

music being all about change and moving forward,this is welcome news...if someone even THINKS seriously about moving on from a line-up after this long,it's time to go...nice one Nelson.

Could this herald the return of the mighty Trip & Stumble? (Nelson's BEST band,IMHO ;)

It's all been said but none the less, thanks for countless hours of absolute joy Nels.
It's been a pleasure to have met you on some of those grueling N American tours and I wish you all the best for the future.
Respect mate.

Like many of the other Yanks on this thread, the Impurity tour in North America was my first time seeing the band live and Nelson was holding down the right side of the stage (from the fan's view) with Ed. I have pix from a gig at the late but only modestly-lamented Limelight in NYC I'll have to dig up, scan, and post some time.

Your bass line on "Island" is one of many favorite NMA moments. You were always pleasant to this random stranger coming over to say hi, before or after gigs, when you were far from home.

Best wishes, good luck, and +1 to the person on this thread who said we'll see you at the 35th!

I wanna say a big thank you to Nelson. I just think he quit at his top being tremendous on TIAGD among other things. I had a vague  feeling he was looking in another direction, or to quote Justin 'one part left behind, one part already gone'. I think he is ready for doing what he gotta do so I wish him all the best with it!!

Kinda late to the party here, but when it comes to Nelson's impact on this great band

You have a mirror,
You have a shadow,
And your bass lines will leave an echo .

Good luck, and thanks for some truly special music  :)
