Apesar de ser um vídeo do baterista Gavin Harrison, o Laurence Cottle é que toca o baixo. Vale a pena:

Laurence Cottle é um ótimo baixista.

Vale lembrar aqui o envolvimento dele com o Black Sabbath. Embora ele nunca tenha tocado ao vivo com a banda, ele foi o baixista que gravou todos os baixos do excelente disco "Headless Cross".

Aqui está o clipe oficial da faixa título deste disco (E, sim, Laurence Cottle aparece neste vídeo)



A impressão deixada por ele no Tony Iommi foi tão boa que quando o guitarrista lançou seu primeiro disco solo (Entitulado "Iommi") em 2000, Laurence Cottle foi o baixista que apareceu junto com Bill Ward e Ozzy Osbourne na faixa "Who's Fooling Who".



Além dessa faixa, Laurence Cottle também gravou, neste disco, as músicas "Goodbye Lament" (Com Dave Grohl), "Time is Mine" (Com Phil Anselmo), "Patterns" (Com Serj Tankian), "Flame On" (Com Ian Astbury) e
"Just Say No to Love" (Com Peter Steele).

Muito bom bom ver um post sobre este grande baixista. Sou fanzaço!
