Edit: I just wonder on which songs from SYW John Pierce played bass (his name's in the credits)... Can someone please help me? So I can hear the difference between a legend and a session player

He's my favourite male component of FM: funny, self-ironic, silent, amazing as a bass player, and he can also cook, what else can a girl ask?
 Happy Birthday Mr. McVie! Hope to hear some of your music soon. Romy

Yaye!!
 I loved some of his comments in the DR doc, such as his telling Mick he should be in the Senate.  And, he was so cool to do the Q&A here on the Ledge.

Dear John - Happy Birthday - your basslines alone have been the deciding factor in me liking many a song. Without them, innumerable songs would not have been nearly as cool as they turned out to be. Including, of course, most of the big hits.
Oh, and thanks for the remind, trackie, me mum's b'day is the next day.

Okay, but just for starters - can anyone in their right mind really imagine Rhiannon being as cool as it is without that kick ass bassline? And that's just one example. I could probably think of a bunch more. I didn't like RTTG until I heard that kick ass bass.
And It's totally instrumental in SOTM. Totally! The list goes on and on. The biggest one, honestly, is GYOW. That **** would not be half the song it is without the drumandbass awesomeness. And even such "throwaway" songs as IDWTK - and Dreams, too! For Reals, this guy is THE MAN. I'm just saying. Jay McVie is the one who made bunches of our faves kick ass.   So lets not just pay lip service - I say - this is a man who made the songs what they are as much as the writers or vocalists or producers. I think part of FM's standout is "whatever" it is that the bassline contributes. Sesly. With a less accomplished bass player, this band would have been so much more mediocre. And I really believe that with all my brain. I thank god every song for John, and I wish he was on Stevie's solo records, I think he is that important.JMO.  *yes, I've been outed as a bass geek* I actually love him.
