Best bass player since john entwhistle

Since seeing Paul live last week. I’m completely obsessed with his bass playing!!

Looks like the road crew at 3 in the morning 😂😂😂

Paul your bass sound on the album Life On the Line which I first heard around 1978 is the reason I started playing bass and still am 40 + years later That Rickenbacker sound can't be beat

This song made my first year of secondary school bearable!. Thank you Paul. ✌🏻❤️🇬🇧

Paul Grey is a great bass player and deserves more recognition.

Nice to have a bass class from a true original 😊

Another PG clip, another five minutes of bass player's heaven, thanks a lot and stay safe everyone

I've been loving these Paul Gray segments. These are by far the best bass fills and I'm stealing them as far as my bass playing skills will allow ;)

One of my most favourite songs ever. Steve Lillywhite produced amazing stuff btw. Loved what he did on the 1st Psychedelic Furs album. I have a Southend gig on my channel of the Damned, playing 'Do anything you wanna do', with Brian at the end of the gig. 👍

One of the most beautiful songs ever written and thankfully I saw Barrie Masters with Eddie & The Hot Rods at Butlins a few years ago doing this song. I must admit I had a tear in my eye listening to and watching them do this song. There's very few songs that can better this... RIP Barrie

The Damned sound better with Paul Grey back on bass! 💜👍🏻

Please please can you get MR V to just pop on and say hello just so we know hes still alive and rockin . If every1 asks he might just rise from the dead and say boo...🤪👍

Brilliant! PG's one of my favourite bass players ever.

Love this song, reminds me of my best mate, who sadly took his own life, we had a ball in London in the late 70s, still love this choon, always have it blaring out of my car as well as my beloved Damned!!

I love the way Paul plays !

What a nice bass... I wish I’d kept mine from back in the ‘70s.

Nice one Paul, very fond memories of this one.

Nice one PG - I was that snotty nosed kid outside of Eldon Sq, Newcastle you gave your Flashman badge to on the Strawberries tour. I remember buying this also on Island Records if I remember rightly - brilliant. Thx for sharing.

Absolutely tremendous bass lines

I love the rods, funny i play alot of fifths as well, guess we both just have good taste. Great to learn from you Paul

From Ned in Spain, Paul I'm a drummer and I wish you were my bass player or I was your drummer or at least I could see you do this every goddamned day !!!! Always love your playing with Eddie or the Damned or all by yourself. Wow

I so appreciate you Paul, 🖤 love the stories, the music breakdown and getting the chance to watch you play.

Classic!

Great song!

Awesome Bass player

You'd have thought with Jimmy Page being a big Damned fan would have been able to overturn the Crowley curse on your then, ex-band.

Thanks Paul !!!!!

The guvnor! Cheers Paul!

I remember hearing this on Radio 1in the late 70's. Thought it was brilliant then and it still holds up!

Fantastic Paul. Thank you for sharing.

Luv your style Bruv.

Such a great bass line, haave loved this since it first came out. Paul, you rock mate!

And in next week’s show, Dave Vanian will recount tales of his days on the road with the Phantom Chords!

As much as I’d like to hear Dave talk pipes and tobacco..... maybe the Damned can explain some of this influence Crowley seems to have on so much of today’s culture. Thanks Dudes. Thanks PG.

Classy stuff. I dig the ride up into the higher register.

Thanks Paul as a guitar player I actually listen to your bass in this .it makes the song.so glad back with the dammed again.i m usually stage right under capt with mate s.next time will be stage right watching you n groove n on your bass line s Thanks again Paul

Great Paul, always loved Ricky bass.

The Wingmen did a brilliant version on their recent tour

Magic

Great stuff Paul, still sounds as good today as it did back in the day

ace of bass ,Paul the man on the bass ,all the bass mate take care .

So _that's_ what you were playing! I've only been waiting forty-odd years to find out. Superb bassline.

Hiya Paul! How about showing us the bassline to "Billy Bad Breaks"? I heard it yesterday and for the first time I focused on the bass playing and was blown away! Greetings from Southern California.

I'm sure Simon Gallup's been influenced by this - probably many times but there's a particular recentish Cure song I can't quite pinpoint.

Lovely!

Yeah! First saw your Performance at Disco in 77 as a 13 years old Kid. Next monday i buyed the 7" and later the phantastic album . Is this smasher in the DAMNED setlist now ? Hopefully greetings from Germany 🎸🎸🥁🔨🐀🎙♠️😜👻

Ends a bit prematurely (accidentally?). Any chance of the full video being put up?

My 2nd favorite bass player - and he would be a quick number one if it wasn’t for the Ox -

🎸🤘

Who needs jaco pastourus when you have paul grey ace bass

fantastic - next one turn the bass up over the rest pls Paul

I saw Eddie and Hotrods in 77 or 78 can’t remember but Squeeze and Radio Stars were supporting them I remember Paul was playing two Ricky basses the one he’s playing here and a blue one and he got a bit pissed off when he leapt in the air came down and pulled the jack out of the socket anyway he threw it on the floor and then it went out of tune so it got thrown again anyway good gig though .

This would be so much better if I could hear what Paul is saying the sound isn't great ( for me) , I agree it's great to have Paul back in The Damned, and Do Anything You Wanna Do is my favourite song of all time! it came out when I was 11, and I walked round with 'RODS' written on my knuckles in biro! dx

lush!

One of 1977s greatest songs.

Love it))))))

Any chance of selling the Walsall poster Paul being it's from my home town

Thanks for the upload. One small suggestion -- don't put music behind the videos. It makes it difficult to hear what's being said.

I wish I spoke British. I bet the story he told was great. Great bass work, but Paul is no orator.
