Man, Andy is really ripping that bass.
Forget a Smiths reunion, howabout Freak Party?

Andy's bass is spectacular on this. It really sounds like he's slapping and popping, which I didn't know he ever did.. did he ever play without a pick in the Smiths?
Lest we forget, Andy also contributed great bass parts to some of the early solo songs also (e.g., "Interesting Drug," "Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference," "November Spawned a Monster," "He Knows I'd Love To See Him").
That fretless bass on 'He Knows I'd Love To See Him' *is* amazing - but from what I've read elsewhere apparently it's played by an uncreditaed session musician called
Danny Thompson - not Andy Rourke.
