Top 10 Reasons I Heart Chris Wolstenholme
10. Shane.
There's nothing like being a sweet, handsome, fantastic bassist with a sweet, handsome, fantastic bass tech.
9. Party tricks.
Including, but not limited to the "Inhaler doubles as a Bottle Opener Trick," and all drunken antics at the Brit Awards.
8. Nervous, but amused, laughter.
Exhibited best in "You're Watching Rock TV" and anytime Kim opens her mouth.
7. Beer.
And what an integral part it is in his life. Bottles, cans, red plastic cups... it's always entertaining during set changeover boredom.
6. The "spooked horse" face.
Falling into this category is the "this platform is really high" face and the "what do I do when girls in the front row yell at me very loudly?" face.
5. Being so huge he looks like he's going bust out of his clothes Incredible Hulk style...
Holding a kabob and sitting down on a tiny chair at this moment really adds to the magic.
4. The look of utter and complete empathy when Kim told him about the car accident.
I have my suspicions ("What kind of car was it?") that he was was more concerned about the vehicle than us, but seeing his face look like his dog died was priceless.
Note: This look was not captured on film. I was very tempted, but I held back.
3. The "body roll" during the end of Stockholm Syndrome.
The only thing that erases the pain of that song & the end of a show...
2a. Wardrobe choices.
...like stripey jumpers, collared shirts with the cuffs cut off, the amazing leather jacket, Adidas zipups with gold chains, poorly fitting trousers, poorly fitting everything...
2b. ...which leads to the Wolstie tummy, the barely concealed Jew fro, and last but not least- the badonkadonk.
1. "...You watch this space...And be my slave to the grave..."
