About this song: Big Time
Big Time is a song by Peter Gabriel from his 1986 album So. It was his second top-ten single along with Sledgehammer on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 8. The Police drummer Stewart Copeland played the drums on the track. The song’s bass guitar part is unique in that backing bassist Tony Levin and then-backing drummer Jerry Marotta teamed up for the main bassline. Using one of Levin’s fretless basses, Levin handled the fingerings while Marotta hit his drumsticks on the strings, which is why the bass part sounds percussive. Read more on Last.fm.
