"...THAT THUNDEROUS BASS SOUND WAS NEVER BETTERED."
NOTE: If you look closely, the shades of purple are different in each shot, meaning I didn't know which one to post, nor which one I liked best, so here's both.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on vocalist Dave Vanian and late, great bassist Algy Ward (1959-2023) of "Machine Gun Ettiquette" (1979) era DAMNED, on tour promoting their then newly-released studio album.
"...the guy was simply immense as a player and a personality. In THE DAMNED terms, "Machine Gun Etiquette" is his legacy… that thunderous bass sound was never bettered. RIP." ♠♠♠
-- CAPTAIN SENSIBLE on hearing of his former band mate's passing, May 18, 2023
In memoriam, the mighty Algy Ward, another legend lost.
