What's a "Moral Compass Cricket Thingy"?

[Moonface]

I know of Sting and Lemmy from the four you listed yet I didn't know either are bass players. I knew Sting played a guitar at least (just didn't really know what) and Lemmy only ever comes to mind as a singer for me and if he was holding a guitar I'd probably just assume he was playing regular guitar like say, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. As for keyboard players, I wonder if Simon Cowell has contributed to them being overlooked by a lot of people on top of the reasons you already listed because of how he always acts like a keyboard is the worst thing on the planet every time someone brings one onto the stage for any of the X Got Talent shows. I know that his constant bashing of the thing made me start to think keyboards were actually shite instruments and that a proper pianist would play an actual piano back in the day when I thought he knew whatever he was talking about just because of who he is.

I had this question come to mind the other day but I've been too unwell to have the energy to ask it until now, and hopefully I can describe what I'm asking here well. So in music, there's like certain moments in songs where a particular effect gets done like most or all of the instruments stopping while the vocals continue and then the instruments all come back in, or another effect that I think is just called a drop (probably common in electronica style music?), and other such things like those where they're not a thing that can probably get grouped under a singular term, but they create like a highlight of something I guess or feel like an energy shift of sorts like a start/stop/start type feeling? If I've managed to get across what I'm talking about in any decent way, my question is what is your favourite type of thing that is like that in music?
