As a bassist I think John is a great rocker, it's not techique so much as attitude and don't be fooled by his or others perception of his playing. He has an individual touch and empathy that can't be beat and Glenn is great too of course - I don't know any one who can play sultans like John.

Now that I totally agree with.... I love Glenn Worf on bass but for some reason he sometimes adds too many notes on his bass playing on Sultans!!!!

John Illsley's Playing is legendary on SOS!

Hi,
although this thread is about his bass playing, i think it is not off-topic to tell that Guy reports on his twitter about John Illsley

Do you know if the performance from John, Greg, Mark and Guy is on that video?

Would love to see that video, John Guy and Mark again on the same stage.

I hope there will be a big party for Mark his 60's birthday.

dusty was just kidding.
there is no such video, or at least not in paul hanlons hands, john sure has one, it is called privacy.
