Gord's bass player has long been a pet peeve of mine. Rick Haynes is a competent bass player, but I believe he pales in comparison to other bassists that have been employed. John Stockfish absolutely caught my attention with his lines. Tom Szcesniak (sp) on "Endless Wire" is another.

I would have to respectfully disagree with you Mike. I have been enjoying Rick Haynes bass playing at Gord's shows for a long time. I think he is one of the very best bass players in all of POP music music. Gord is blessed to have him. - I think back to some of those great live bass lines over the years like on "Ode to Big Blue", "In my fashion" and "the wreck". Extremely musical and creative lines. Rick is a lights out great bass player!
