	Alan's bass, from the one gig I've seen of theirs, is really a 
lot more than half of Gunslinger. The guitarist and drummer are there 
and balance him out some of the way, but they're neither of them really 
strong enough performers to sneak back the focus. Whereas Mikkey Dee is, 
as Lemmy has told us all by now surely, "the best drummer in the 
world"... Yours,
