now, as i mentioned in the topic for the brussels 11th may concert, ben was playing bass guitar during i was wrong and neverland, i was wondering if he did the same during others concerts of the tour? i was too far away from the stage on the brussels 22nd april concert to see, but it didn't sound like it, me thinks...

damn, posted in the wrong section... is there an admin in the house?

yep

ben has taken over adam's bass duties for romeo down, neverland and i was wrong (i think thats all of them?)

didn't even realize that adam also played bass? never noticed a bass guitar on stage before... since when is that?

afaik, always for "romeo down", and since 2003 (or was it 2005?) when they introduced neverland and some of the other slower ones...

Adam with Bass...

I noticed in Leeds that Chris played bass on a couple too. Dominion for one, I can't remember the other. Maybe Never Land?

Chris ?! It's supposed to be Ben AFAIK, and he plays bass on Romeo down, Never land, I was wrong... but certainly not Dominion. Or did I miss something ?
As for Chris, he does play acoustic guitar on some tracks, including Slept.

I'm sure I saw Chris playing bass at one point.

Back me up someone?

Here's what I saw in Paris.

Of course I don't know about the UK dates.

Yes, Ben played bass on a couple, but so did Chris.

Maybe they're just about to hire a full time bass player.

3/5/06 - A Day from Heaven, Ben : Bass : Never Land (more than a fragment) IIRC



I was very, very drunk and hanging on to Zuma for dear life

I like the idea too, but I am not paying the salaries.

I also would have suggested James, but apparently he gets plastered during Never Land, which may be an inconvenience.

can be true, but not in DOMINION!!

Ben plays bass during romeo down,neverland and I wasd wrong

I would welcome a bass player. Someone new and fresh. With a lot of stageprescence. Someone who could move around a bit more than Von, ben and chris do.

Umm..Rofo.. They DO jump around a lot. Remember, this is not a boygroup with emphasis on coreographies and collecting teenie underwear*, this is a hard rocking REAL band. When they are on stage, they have to look after their instruments, every now and then. (A quote from the Sissie`s homepage comes to my mind: "If you want to see juggling, go and watch clowns")
Their expressive and impressing lightshow is quite a lot for watching, I think.
In my oppinion Ben and Chris do a great job. needless to mention Andrew, who has allways done. If not, we wouldn`t be around here, would we?

*the status of non-teenie underwear collections is beyond my knowledge

Edited for typo correction

I do think that ben, chris and von do a excellent job on stage. But the three of them, mostly von ofcourse, are sometimes tied to singing. I just ment that it would be nice to see a fourth person having his way up there and I'm personally not that very fond of the synth-bass (or whatever it is called). And yes, they are a real band in my opinion too. Nothing fake about them, all rock 'n roll!!!!!!!
