zig n zag...my heroes! mark king..wot a legend!! takes me right back! excellent!

jaydee it was his voice that attracted me to the band to begin with .. long before i knew about his bass playing etc ... I ve always loved that voice :) !!

MK is a naturally talented person, and also unique in his approach and thought to music. With the love of performing that he has, it would be a very hard thing for him to call it a day. One point of fact though is that every interview I've seen or heard about him, it's always to do with his amazing bass playing, however no one ever comments on his singing ability. Mark has a very good voice indeed, plus to play like he does and sing too, now that's talent!

He's the one and only that's for sure!

This is funny no matter how many times I watch it. "Can't you afford a lighting rig?" lol Brilliant!

I didnt know he chewed gum at the same time until i saw him in concert live .. that was in '87 when they toured North America ... i couldnt believe it lol .. 20 years ago and i still remember that detail .. funny what stick with you ... and hell yeah who needs anything else with all that talent .. but what an entertainer he is lol!!!

Yes Mark is a great guy.

That rocked. Mark King is awesome!

i forgot how funny zig and zag could be. hey that was a cool program looking back, i miss it!

Fantastic memories,I saw Zig and Zag this year in a rare TV appearance,they havn't changed a bit more 👍

OMG! Ain't seen these since i was a KID! :)

3 legends and Chris Evans.

"greatest bass players in the history of the universe"....even puppets will agree!!

blimmin hilarious that zig and zag, wished they were still on the tele!!

wow thats great to know he has someone like that encouraging him ... i m glad he had that :) .

This still makes me chuckle!

@martinholde ;well he was a drummer of some note ,who I believe played with ,'Reflex",on a song called 'The politic's of dancing'.

yep i know i ve seen it before .. its funny lol !!!Plenty more fish in the sea indeed hehehe !!!

Legend....

Look at emblem on headpiece...ALMEBIC!!

That is definitely a Alembic Series 2 Medium Scale [32"] Coco bolo top and back Bass. Made for Mark by Alembic. AS davewentelteef stated;he has played several other exotic ,boutique basses as well. He currently uses the MK Model Status basses. I do prefer the Alembic tone to the Status,with Mark and also the late John Entwhisle.

Hi is really a STAR!!!

Yep MK has a good voice indeed. Chews gum while he sings and plays the bass at warp speed all at the same time. Who needs a Lighting Rig when you can do all that?

MK always had loads of energy ... i wish i could bottle it !!!

@dunetune42 Look at the logo on the headstock ,it says it all.........

@martinholde : well aware started @ 14 and still have to practice especially on my BT custom6

Yes he's amazing. But considering he's around the 50 mark now, so has been playing continuously for almost 30 years, I guess that's why he's so good. Glad you like the vid anyway.

well its a childrens show okay keep that in mind right?

Never grasped what diffrence it makes when he started playing, or anyone else for that matter. If a person started at 50 and became great at something that's all that matters.

yes that is an alembic lol!!

This is all what's wrong with music today...Lookit this! Back then, musicians in the charts had skill and talent. Whereas then, kids would turn this on and be inspired to be good on an instrument nowerdays they are plagued into believing you have to be ultra thin and use a vocoder to cover up your lack of skill......What you thought I was gonna mention bass guitar? Well...only time you see them in the charts now is in Pro Tools. :-P Ah...bring back talented music!

Well it's not a childrens show and personally I would have set fire to them.

What are you on about???

Poor Mark having to deal with that shit in the morning,as if Chris Evans wasn't bad enough he had the insanely irritating and pointless Zig and Zag to put up with
