I have got an anthology album out. The American version has got the same mixes but the European version, I remixed them in the studio and added a couple of things that I have always wanted to add.
I set myself up to be a bass guitarist and bass players get a lot more work than people like me.
So by the time I taught myself the bass guitar at the age of 14, my hands were already pretty nimble.
We were gradually playing larger venues and in the early days PA systems were kind of non-existent. So to play loud, we had to use louder equipment. The PA systems back then didn't mic the instruments - only the vocals.
I don't mind doing the Who tours when they come along but I want to get out there and play.
I supply the music for Vampires, which is a new series that's coming out.
With bass, especially bottom end, the vibration has to happen on stage otherwise the feel is wrong. This is why you can't scale the equipment down too far.
