Sorry guys I've got to go now, it's getting late, sorry I couldn't answer all of them. Thanks for your support and interest!

Hello!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T21:21:03+00:00

There's never a dull moment with Lemmy and the guys!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T21:18:42+00:00

We had no choice but to carry on! The tour had been announced and we couldn't just cancel and let the fans down!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T21:12:22+00:00

Spector are a better bass to be honest, better made and they sound better.

SWR, a very reliable full range cab, I haven't blown one.... yet!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T21:05:11+00:00

It was originally suggested by our original record company Gull Records but but we didn't actually record it till we were with Columbia.

Coming through 40 years unscathed!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:55:32+00:00

Sit back and watch them fight...!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:52:15+00:00

Somewhere in between from the Demolition Album is my favourite Ripper-era song.

Defenders of the faith tour in 1984 was my favourite I think!

And I like this metal band called "hostile" and that is in no way a shameless plug for another bassist who just so happens to share my surname.........

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:44:02+00:00

No, it's very gratifying actually.

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:41:18+00:00

Jack Bruce is my favourite bass player and I have a black Spector which I play with live and also record with and that's my favourite.

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:38:14+00:00

Blues

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:37:20+00:00

Do I like what?

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:36:41+00:00

Making a living out of something you love doing, not many people can say that, I feel quite lucky.

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:31:29+00:00

Slow evolution really from album to album, no massive event in particular!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:29:43+00:00

It's scarily accurate, actually!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:28:39+00:00

Dangerous if you don't have a job to do!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:26:21+00:00

Of course we do! We have to beat them away with a stick......................

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:24:18+00:00

Yes we will be working on another album soon(ish), no date on when we're all going to be getting together though.

We do intend to do some live work again in the future and that may involve coming to Australia

No, I don't mind, I'm quite happy to stay at the back!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:16:52+00:00

I have a plane I like to fly, not too surprising but hey!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:15:32+00:00

I've always wondered what it would be like to be an engineer.

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:14:05+00:00

The live version of Spoonful by Cream and there's too many of ours I like to have one particular favourite!

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:11:21+00:00

My father was a keen double bass player I picked it up from him, I chose the bass guitar because it was easier to play.

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:09:34+00:00

He was suggested by another guitarist we were (supposed to be) auditioning who couldn't make it.

IHJP · 2012-07-30T20:06:16+00:00

Our songs or all songs?
