Mick Karn was one of the best bass players to have ever existed and that is a fact that you can't argue with. I hope Mick Karn got what he wanted out of life and much more, unfourtanetly it ended far too soon but he left behind some real music for future generations to listen to and be amazed. You may not think his music will carry on through the generations but I will be sure to pass it on to my kids if I ever have any. I'm 18 so it just proves that lesser known artists can still be loved again
I saw this great bass player playing with Japan at the Hammersmith Odeon. He tripped over the stage cables doing a shuffled Japanese walk on stage and laughed. A prodigy for all fretless great bass players. Bill Nelson rated him and that is all I have to say. RIP Mick.

Oh I'm in shock..I've only just found out..I'm so sad to hear this news...Mick ,May God watch over you..there will never be another bass player as good or as individual as you!..I'll miss you
you will never be forgotten mick you are the best bass player,i grief you mick i saw japan in 1986 at newcastle city hall. with rhuchi sacamoto as a guest wow some gig with sandi and the sunset as support..i will never forget theat night...
This is unfair! So young and so badly! You have changed my way of looking at the electric bass and approach to music. Good musicians, around, there are many, brilliant and visionary as you think you can count on the fingers of one hand. Thanks for all the music and all the emotions you gave us. There are no words strong enough to express my gratitude and my sorrow at the same time. A big hug to his family. Your music will remain forever. Antonello Catta
Just to get noticed as a bassplayer is difficult - to have the impact that he had proves how unique his talent was. The 80's produced such stars as this - I mourn the passing of the 80's and Mick - you were an inspiration!!
PURE GENIUSxx

I suspect he played the bass that way because nobody ever told him he couldn't.

A true bass legend. His work with Japan and Gary Numan was truly exceptional. He won't be forgotten.
