Rick Anderson, the co-founding bassist of ‘The Tubes’ who played with the band for a half-century into this year, has died. He was 75
who played with the band for a half-century into this year including on “She’s a Beauty,” “Talk to Ya Later” and “White Punks on Dope,”, has died. He was 75.
The band said in a statement that Anderson died December 15 but did not give a cause or other details. “We lost our brother on 12/16/22,” the Tubes wrote on social media . “Rick brought a steady and kind presence to the band for 50 years. His love came through his bass. RIP.”Anderson played on all of the band’s albums from its 1975 debut to 1996 and continued to tour with them until 2022.
Formed in 1972 in San Francisco, the band was known for its wild, theatrical live shows, which in its early days included props and elaborate stage sets and choreography by futuredirector Kenny Ortega. Their lavish and sometimes lascivious early shows are legendary. Fronted by singer Fee Waybill, the Tubes opened for Led Zeppelin in the Bay Area in 1973 and was signed to Jerry Moss and Herb Albert’s A&M Records the next year. Its 1975 debut album includes the FM hit “White Punks on Dope” — which hit the Top 30 in the UK — along with fan favorites “What Do You Want from Life?” and “Mondo Bondage.” It peaked at No. 113 on the Billboard 200.
Anderson and the Tubes released two more studio albums and a double live LP recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and continued to tour nearly nonstop before recording their 1979 LPa concept album about the influence of television. It became group’s biggest U.S. album to date, and the single “Prime Time” hit the UK Top 40.
