Özet

Guy Pratt came of age just as bass playing became sexy. Having dallied with punk legend Sylvain Sylvain, Pratt suddenly found himself on Top of the Pops and supporting David Bowie with smooth Australian outfit Icehouse. He became bass player to the stars, crawling from studio to bar and hotel to stadium Portakabin with the likes of Pink Floyd, Robert Palmer, Womack &Womack and Bryan Ferry. Guy has recorded with everyone from Madonna and Michael Jackson to McFly. He was in The Smiths for a week, and has travelled through customs in a wheelchair after a flight with Jimmy Page. Following the success of his live show at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival and the subsequent sell out tour of Australia, Guy Pratt’s narrates his bestselling book, My Bass and Other Animals, a witty, revealing but heartfelt memoir of life at the pointy end of the music business. When not playing with David Gilmour or Bryan Ferry, he continues to take the show around the world.

“Bass players are ten a penny but a good wit is hard to find, so we hired him” (David Gilmour)
“Hilarious… Much recommended” ( The Word)

Brilliant narration by the author. Interesting stories and a brilliant David Coverdale impersonation. His Jimmy Page wasn’t too shabby either. Didn’t want it to end. Always a good sign.

Fantastic

Even though I'm familiar and a fan of several bands and artists Guy Pratt has worked with, I'd never heard of him (bass players don't seem to be very memorable). His journey through the music industry as a touring artist and session musician is fascinating though, and a nice alternative view compared to the usual autobiographies of lead singers or megastars.

His story is well written, funny, and very engagingly read by himself.

A rip roaring full energy romp through the life of one of the worlds most prolific and respected bassists. Well written, well read and quite the most entertaining 7 hours I've spent in a long time. The perfect blend of irreverent recollection and blindingly accurate observations. With so much drink and drugs involved, it's amazing Guy remembers any of it, but the stories are full bodied and for anyone interested in music who lived through the 80s and 90s, this is a must! Heff.
