Erm.... sorry Gibo, but the first guy interpreted it right. I was sure
that the Roots bass player was originally a white guy, but the guy at the
Festival was black. This made me think "maybe the bassist split, just like
Malik." I'm fairly sure that at some stage the Roots had a white bassist.
I'm fairly sure that he was in a picture with them in Vibe magazine. All
the band were leaning against this wall and there was a small article
promoting the band and info about "Do You Want More??!!!??", their
so-called "debut" album. He may even be lurking about in either the
"Distortion" or "Proceed" clips.
