Talk:C'el Revuelta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
C'el was not part of the Black Flag reunion in 2003. There was no bassist at those shows. Instead, the band had to play in sync with a recording of the bass lines as played by Greg Ginn himself.
But there ARE reports of C'el playing the reunions! The recorded bass lines (Poindexter Stewart / Dale Nixon) were used on certain songs, apparently the MY WAR set. You can find those reports in the reviews at this link.

I also take issue in the main article with C'els rep of not playing bass good. He RIPS! I saw him with Black Flag in'86, and was shocked to read that critique myself in PLANET JOE. If you ever get a chance to see any of that live '86 video that Ginn won't allow to be seen (try to track down "In My Head", edited as a video single), C'el is clearly all over that bass, playing with his left hand inverted over the neck Rudy Sarzo style.
