You are going back with those two bands... Anvil and Motorhead! I think the first time I heard that style of playing with double bass was Motorhead... Blew my mind and the rest is pretty much history!
Got a tip for us?

Should rockers who can’t sing anymore still be touring?

Had to give this thread a >BUMP!<
Although not really a "rock" band since Kath died, I've loved Chicago since Gradeschool and they just released Chicago XXXVIII, above! Albums in seven decades! I'm pretty sure the Stones have been around longer; they have two original members left and Chicago has three (they were a larger band of course).
Bobby Lamm sings lead on a couple of the songs, and sounds great. James Pankow uncorks a very tasty trombone solo on one track (unlike his live performances), and those sparkling horn charts are still there. Chicago's sound has never really followed trends, they sound like.... Chicago; hearing new material from this band, at this late date, just makes me happy.
The other cool thing about Chicago is, you can still see them live, and afford it; they tend to play state fairs and other smaller venues, and not arenas with $5,000 seats like Bruce Ticketmasteen. And both Bobby and Lee Loughnane (trumpet) sound fantastic on vox, even into their 70's.
