Is this true? Has anyone heard? I don't believe he's actually recorded with them up to this point.

[greedrex]

i think this was confirmed somewhere not too long ago.

[greedrex]

no
this is not Mark Ibold it's Fonz!

[mil_pl]

he's is a guest in one track.

[max]

but is he still gonna play live with them?
frankly i don't see the point but whatever.

[mil_pl]

why not?
he played at the end of last year's tour with them, and kim can't hold her bass in every songs.

[max]

well, not to sound disrespectful, but she played the whole DAYDREAM NATION album in front of my very eyes, couple of meters away. Chicago 2007. The Gibson thunderbird bass. Heavy as hell, ripping thru riffs. She held it perfectly, and that was a long fucking gig man.

I think they'd do better without a 5th member at this point. live especially.

He is playing bass on the new album. In the last few shows of 2008, she began wearing a glove, which I imagine was to help her with her tendinitis. At my Daydream gig (NY), she put down the thunderbird before Eliminator Jr, probably because it was getting to be a burden, so I'm guessing Mark is a big help to her.

but at the shows with ibold and her playing at same time, it was toooo much bass. nothing ruins sound like too much fucking bass.

[blunderbuss]

I get the impression that they (esp. SS) absolutely love having Mark Ibold around, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him keeping on touring with them.

Nothing ruins sounds as a bad PA/acoustic in a venue.
I don't think they have a bad sound man e heh he.
When I saw them with mark on stage the sound was great and they had lots of fun.
Max, I see what you mean, but playing a few "special" gigs isn't as consuming as a full tour.
I'd be glad to hear Kim is feeling well enough to pull off a full tour with no need for a "backup" (I hope this won't be misinterpreted) but I think having Mark on stage is just plain good for everyone. He is happy, they're happy to play with him, IF Kim has some probelms he can help.
It's a win-win situation imo.
Aaaah, I remember there were people complaining even about Jimbo playin' live with them....
BLASPHEMY!!!

[mil_pl]

jim was the shit.

[uhler]

i think they laid down some tracks of him playing slap bass with his big fucking cock.

possibily could help, but the studded glove is a signature look in the Rodarte collection she has been wearing lately

 

i wish Mark would have been involved more witht new record, mostly cause i love it when Kim plays guitar, she brings an excellent dimension as the 3rd guitarist like on songs such as New Hampshire for example

I really wish they'd add Mark as a fifth member. It'd be cool to have Kim playing guitar and Mark playing bass. I love the albums where Kim was playing guitar more. ATL ruled for example. He should have played on the entire album.
