    I first saw Charles at an event in New Hampshire, USA about 12 years ago called Bass Solo Fun. It was a competition for bass players of all types of music to compose a solo and perform it. Charles had his LeFay bass with the leavers and he just blew everyone away, and today he still blows everyone away. Masterful as usual, Charles!

    about a year and a half ago i got to meet Sean Yseult and play bass alongside her at a School Of Rock workshop. she told us a couple life stories before we played a couple White Zombie songs and some songs that influenced her and her style. she signed the headstock of the bass i played with her. a damn cool experience.

      i just watched that and i didnt see her stare at him at all.. Im assuming its the same one,, was it during "More human than human"? I will say looking at how little room they had to move around its kind of amazing they didnt collide at some point, especially since Rob prob couldnt see shit through his hair/dreads and sunglasses...
      The only time i saw that he was that close to her and wildly dancing to do what you said was the very beginning,,,
      NOTE: Im not disputing you, im just not sure if im seeing the same video or not or i missed it somehow because of the video quality i watched...

    Nobody talking about how nice and clean the playing is? Lots of fancy piccolo tapping with oodles of distortion around. Not saying it’s some near impossible level feat per se, but it is very very nice.
    Makes me wonder how several instruments played together would sound. It could be a really cool collab. Combine bass solo with low end bass support and piccolo treble.
