David Thewlis channelling Mick Jones from The Clash into V.M Varga!

It don't mean a thang w/o that twang…
Dwight Yoakam without Pete Anderson on guitar is like cornflakes without the milk.

Hooked on Bass
Josh Modell overlooked the basic common thread between JD & NO: The Bass (a.k.a: THAT SOUND). Both bands frame the songs on "bass lines" all played above the 12th fret. Peter Hook is the man.

Simple Minds influence heard throughout Tom Delonge's Angels & Airwaves. Brings guitar delay back front and center (and I was beginning to think it was a lost artform).
