With this one small adjustment it makes playing "Billy" so much easier!

Beautiful but short video, awe the sweet smile, thank you❤

[macleod]

One of, if not the coolest bass line ever.

[scottwhite]

Can never get enough of your Bass playing.. Thx Tony.. 🤘🏻😎✌️..

Never enough of Billy groove.
Some jazzmen friends of mine were totally surprised when i made them listen Blue Murder and loved that groove from the start.
You can't never say enough of Billy when you're a musician because you could go on and on with for hours and make it anything you want.
And all comes from that amazing bass line from Tony.

Oh nice. Short and sweet and entertaining and fretless. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful sound and true playing, and a special style above all...greetings from Serbia.

[vitalygolub]

I still cannot get over the fact that it's a fretless and everything is still in perfect tune, amazing man!

[garystone]

Covering this song in a band...this really helps! Thanks Tony!

[johnnyutah]

Like the color of the bass and the tone 🎉

[cooperminicar]

Greatest bass player of all time in my humble opinion

[tedsidloski]

As I mentioned on another platform, this is so inspiring to a new bass player. The fretless looks too intimidating to me as a new player. You make it look so easy!

Tony Franklin благодарю за отличное исполнение. бодрое и душевное.

[refbassist]

Tony, great channel. If you don't mind me saying - please put out a solo album.
Bill Laswell has like 163 or 164 solo albums? Thanks again Tony.

To me fretless sounds great with rock and roll. Just makes it sound heavier. 🔥

[M.H.I.A.F.T.]

I adore the first Blue Murder album so much, classic and catchy hard rock with some seriously innovative bass playing. Having said that, the lyrics to the song 'Sex Ch1ld' have never sat well with me. Hopefully Mr Sykes meant it to be tongue in cheek!

[AlexFromTheDistance]

BM although great band, was more like a prog hard rock band, lacking solid hits.
