Albert Castiglia - [The Day The Old Man Died.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a50mydzcz8w) Matt Shuler (sp) on bass carries this one. And Albert, as always, is amazing. ---

> [@JKellyMap](#): > > Sounds a lot kike Billy Squier’s [Everyobody Wants You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU7vXN-2j3A) – a terrific riff, too. Slight hijack here…am I the only one that when I hear the beginning of this song, the first note of the riff sounds like it’s on the first beat (ONE-AND-TWO…THREE-AND-FOUR…) , instead where it really is, on the upbeat (AND-ONE-AND…AND-THREE-AND…), until the drums kick in??? ---

I’ve posted this before, but the bass intro and riff from the Faces [Three Button Hand-Me-Down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlFuXwAGURw) might be my favourite ever. ---

Oh, hell yes! I fucking LOVE that song and Ronnie Lane’s bass work. It has the same chorus as the Motown hit Some Kind of Wonderful, but frankly I prefer this song. Probably my fave Faces song. ---
