Ok I don't want a bs argument , but how can anyone be above Justin
...
plus your band has 3 bass players (would make for a interesting sound).
.
.
No argument, but what attracted me to NMA back in the beginning was the bass. An instrumentalist in a band can be the focal point. Example: One could say Morrissey is the face and voice of The Smiths, but what is the first attraction to The Smiths? Johnny Marr's guitar. Same with New Model Army. Sure Justin is the frontman, the voice, the songwriter...but it is the bass on those first records that made many pay attention to that band.



As for a band having three bass players? Heck, Ned's Atomic Dustbin weren't a bad band and they had two bass players. Maybe they would have been better with three.

Actually they still are a good band and still have 2 bass players :)
Is is a crime to believe in something different?

I meant what I said at the time that I said it

I thought the late great Roger Moore was Caines best mate. ? Which leads me to the film Bullseye from 1990. Have you seen it ? A film that truly earns the term "so bad its good". Clearly just three film friends - Michael Winner, Caine and Moore making a film for the fun of it.

Terence Stamp and Michael Caine were best mates in the 60's and then fell out over sleeping arrangements after moving to a new flat, apparently.  According to MC's first autobiography, 'What's It All About', which is far better than his second, 'The Elephant To Hollywood'.

As far as 'Bullseye' goes... yes I saw it on VHS when it first came out and I've been trying to suppress the memory ever since.  I've seen many Michael Winner films and, the original Death Wish aside, the man couldn't direct a steady stream of piss, much less a film.   :)
