This used to be mine - Shergold 4/8-string (both fretted). Eventually PX'd at Wunjo's for something much more useable. The Shergold sat in Wunjo's window for about a week then set off on a new adventure.

This version of Stop Making Sense has all you need.

Jake from Wickham Audio did a great setup on my JMJ Mustang. He was based in Wunjo, but has his own place here: https://www.wickhamaudio.co.uk/

I'm basing my guess on how amateur it looks and the mailto popup with a gmail address when you click though. But then again it's on his facebook page as well. Meanwhile I tend to have the Carol Kaye video with him running through the back of my mind first when anyone mentions him

I think it might be a scam http://genesimmonsabbeyroadstudios.com/

I'd be totally up for a rocket science sub-forum.

Yepp, they're great. I was at both shows - only caught half of Brass Against the first night thanks to the daft ticketing and security setup

Take care to not honk too hard

Saw the above three Police-related posts and first thought was "oh god which one's died"

Amen, same here this morning. Farewell to another unique and groundbreaking voice.

Either way decide on the band name before doing anything else - including acquiring bandmates.

When in a tribute band I was asked to sign some merch from the actual band. I asked who he wanted me to sign as, me or the band member (whom I look nothing like) He said "oh you of course" So now there's a copy of a mid-70s Genesis album out there somewhere with my name scrawled over it. And the names of the others in that tribute band. Odd?

Here's the full Malcolm Gerrie/Talks Music interview

He did the theme to The Tube as well!

Another unique voice gone. What a body of music to leave behind. Saw him a few times over the years - first was at the Royal Festival Hall in 2002, at various points he was joined by John McLaughlin and Terry Bozzio, then the White Stripes came out for the Yardbirds mini-set. Later Paul Rodgers did Going Down. What a gig. We were sitting the row behind a rowdy group of Vic Reeves, John Sessions, Damon Hill. Leaving the venue at the end, we clocked we were the row in front of Jimmy Page and Harvey Goldsmith.

My favourite moment: late in the day, presenter David Hepworth was desperately attempting to fill time while simultaneously address rumours that a reformed Beatles would appear at Wembley with Julian Lennon filling in for John. On the sofa are Tracey Ullman and Big Country frontman Stuart Adamson (RIP). Paraphrasing from memory: Heps: we're hearing rumours that a reformed Beatles might appear with Julian Lennon. Now we can't substantiate nor refute these rumours, we simply don't know. BUT if and I must emphasise if this was to happen, and it'd be monumental if it did - if a reformed Beatles were to appear this evening, what, Stuart Adamson, what do YOU think they'll play? *perfectly timed pause* Stu: *deadpan* Instruments. (T. Ullman falls off sofa in mirth)

Seems the appropriate place to mention - years ago I saw something on telly, possibly the artsy show on BBC2 which probably became Jools' Later at some point - anyway, imagine a dozen or so bass players in a crescent up against a white background all playing the main riff from Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" at a progressively slower and slower tempo. Anyone else remember this or any idea what it might have been?

I was quite keen on Tits Of Death back in the mid/late '00s. I'll be surprised if this post doesn't get auto-corrected, but here's a link to photos from one of their 12 Bar Club shows https://nicolai.click/tits-of-death-12-bar Ah, yes - also they had two bass players, which was the point I had almost completely forgotten. Sadly none of the photos shows both in the same shot, but anyway.

King Crimson's 'double trio' line-up in the 90s - Tony Levin and Trey Gunn

Totally up to you of course but I'm in for a central block A2 ticket and just about ok to pay that price given new music and it probably won't happen again. Likewise/on the other hand a similar price for Genesis (who are equally as significant an influence on me) doing a trudge through the greatest hits package? I drew the line there. I'm also considering the overseas version and putting a holiday around it (Mrs Knob yet to be consulted btw) for the Berlin gig, here - which looks like GA in all areas. (Not sure if that means GA sitting or standing though)

Looking forward to the show - he's hitting the road with some singer next year. And I hope I'm looking and sounding this good when I'm 76! (had to break several piggy banks for the ticket though)

And another of all the stuff.

Hang on no one mentioned photos. Here's me in action at a French trib festival omg was it really 15 years ago.

We did a once-a-month gig at a local pub, we were pretty niche anyway and getting another couple of bands to appear on the same night soon became troublesome - even with backline and soundman supplied. The contentious part was charging on the door - I saw people turn up for a pint, see they had to pay a few quid to get in, then turn around and head elsewhere. My feeling was that it should be free to get in - punters turning up with the added bonus of free bands playing would have been brought in more beer money than was lost to those turning away.
