"I was always the sexy bass player in the background while Robin stood centre. Barry and I played it up a bit, gave 'em a bit of thigh"

In this quote, Maurice Gibb is reflecting on his function as the bass gamer in the band, while his sibling Robin took spotlight. He acknowledges that he was often seen as the "sexy" one, however it was Robin who was the main focus of attention. Maurice and his sibling Barry would sometimes play up their sexual magnetism, displaying their legs to the audience. This could be seen as a lively and flirtatious method to engage with the audience and include some excitement to their performances. Regardless of not being in the spotlight, Maurice and Barry still discovered ways to make their existence understood and contribute to the total energy of the band.
