    Default Another BASS player passes

    The Passing of Phil Kennemore - Y&T/Meniketti Forums
    www.meniketti.com

    Phil Kennemore, the BASS player for a California band called Y&T passed away this morning losing his battle with lung cancer.

    Y&T was the very first concert I ever saw as a young man. A friend of mine dragged me to go see them, he wanted to go and did not have car. I became hooked on them and remember when during a song called "Lipstick and Leather" he did a bass solo and I thought "wow that was awesome and I wanted to play that". I purchased my first BASS shortly after that show. I had a chance to meet him and told him that story....he was not impressed, but I am sure that is how a lot of rock stars are..

    Thanks, Ditto, for the reminder that we never know how we may be impacting the lives of people we may not even know in a way that could change lives - for better or worse. We regret the passing of noteworthy musicians, but are grateful for their inspiration.

    Sad news indeed. Y&T was on the bill of the first concert I ever went to as well. RIP brother.

    When you hear thunder in the sky, think of a bassman who's crossed over...

    Default Y&T

    Y&T just announced the NEW bass player to replace Phil.

    He is Brad Lang and a local Sacramento guy. He has stepped in and is kicking the groooove.
