    John Matthew McCoy (born c. 1950, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England), is an English bass guitarist, who is best known for his work with Ian Gillan and Mammoth as well as numerous other bands and sessions since the late 1960s. He currently plays in British rock trio Guy McCoy Tormé with former Gillan/Ozzy guitarist Bernie Tormé and Bruce Dickinson/Sack Trick drummer Robin Guy. He is also an accomplished guitar, drum, trumpet, cello, and double bass player. Nearly as well known as his music is his appearance: he is always pictured wearing sunglasses, with the striking contrast of bald head and robust chin beard. Along with guitarist Vic Elmes and ZZebra colleague Liam Genockey on drums, McCoy can also be heard playing in the intro and end titles theme of the 1970s cult TV series Space: 1999.

    Early career

    In the 1960s, when he was 13, whilst still at school, McCoy began playing as lead guitarist with a working beat group, The Drovers. In 1966 he responded to an advertisement in the Yorkshire Post newspaper for a guitarist to join a band called Mamas Little Children who were about to begin touring Germany. McCoy went to audition only to find they had just given someone else the position, but still needed a bass player. He auditioned on a spare bass that was there and was given the job. In 1968 he was forced to resign from the band because he was working illegally under age. On his return to Britain he went to London where he found work as a session musician with former Drifters member Clyde McPhatter touring the UK.

    Famous quotes by John McCoy:

    "Each application is a heartbreaker. They do the best they can with the amount of money they have to disperse."
    "[ohn McCoy is running from his childhood dreams. Running hard.] I would have dreams of me getting zero yards the night before the game, so when I would get the ball it was, 'That's not going to happen today,' ... So I ran as hard as I could, and I still do."
    "Honestly, I don't pay attention to all of that stuff. Ricky and I talk about it all the time - we're complements. I don't feel under-appreciated by my team, and that's my family, they appreciate the job I do. They believe in me and I believe in them."
    "I was somewhat surprised by some of the things that I was doing on the field last year, ... I would be turning a corner and was like, 'Wow, I made that play, all right. I can do these things, I can have longer runs and I'm doing it on the big stage now.'"
    "I classify my style as 'By any means necessary,'"
    "It’s another adventure, ... We’re excited to get it rolling. As you know from last year, we’re real confident on the road."
    "The databases can't find it, so to goes back to Forest Drive. I have no idea how to change the databases."
    "Strong revenue generation and disciplined expense management were the highlights of the second quarter, while credit quality remained stable."
    "We are clearly disappointed in this earnings estimate revision."
    "We believe this is a short-term problem, a problem that can be fixed,"
