Just saw Eric Avery live

#1 Post by parklife03 » Wed Dec 14, 2016 12:31 am

I just saw Garbage with Eric on bass, here in Argentina.
Wow. I can't say anything else.
It was the greatest bass-sounding show I have been on MANY years.
He deserves a lot more of recognition in Garbage. At least he was really up in the mix :rockon:

That's cool. I wasn't sure if Eric was still playing with/for them, so I didn't get tickets for their show in Santiago. Good to know he's still enjoying that gig.

I follow him on Instagram and he posts various 'round the world' shots...obviously when he's on tour with Garbage.

I'm still kicking myself for not seeing him/them when they visited Seattle a few months ago. I'm not a huge Garbage fan, but I know enough of their songs that I would have enjoyed it--especially to see Eric on stage. At the time, I don't think I could find evidence that he was touring with them.

I saw Garbage open for Jane's in San Diego; it was a 91X festival. Eric stayed in the shadows the entire show, occasionally lurching over to Butch to lock in. I really enjoyed the show. I know only a few songs but Shirley is a world class front woman, and I really enjoyed the alternating lead guitars. Very solid band with Vig being the weakest link.

You're still on time for the last show there!

Years ago the first time he was with them, i went, just to see eric play. My ex-wife was a garbage fan anyway. Shirley is indeed a riveting front woman. Eric wasn't terribly animated. But he sounded great and was very high in the mix.
