In Memoriam: Jimmy Bain

Well, this year has continued on as the memorials continue now with the passing of bass legend Jimmy Bain. This was the man who kept the low end booming in Rainbow, the classic early Dio albums (later returning) and recently in Last in Line reuniting that classic early Dio lineup. The man was a hell of a player who kept it rocking while Ronnie sung about monsters, dragons, fantasy and whatever else he felt like. Another classic Hard Rock/Metal bassist is gone. He could keep it together with the band or steal the show with his playing at any moment on any song. Some bass players don't get the recondition that they deserve because they are not as flashy as other members of the band but, that's the best way to know that you are doing your job right; someone else can have the spot light while they rock on. So, R.I.P. man, keep the low end rocking.
