  1. I've just realised I've got the same strap (white on black instead of black on white though)
  2. [quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1389177322' post='2330832'] I'm watching this in the office with the sound on mute and in no way do I feel I am missing out [/quote] Can you guess what they're playing?

  4. Learn a few danceable grooves with your drummer that you can slip into while the two front boys sort themselves out. Make them tight and make sure the two of you can cue an ending with a milliseconds notice.
  5. A couple of Del Forbes nuggets of joy... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX0eJkGmYUw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX0eJkGmYUw[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZs_l9hF8IY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZs_l9hF8IY[/url]
  6. You could still "hear" yourself by the well-established "chin amp" technique though.
  7. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1387732125' post='2314988'] This re mastered thing may also be enjoyed [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FBcz3tBH74"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FBcz3tBH74[/url] [/quote] What's Phil got in his mouth about 16m40s, at the end of Moonlit Knight?
  8. [quote name='Leen2112' timestamp='1387542694' post='2313122'] It's a hidden gem this is! Apparently he only left Genesis due to stage fright!! [/quote] And a serious attack of bronchial pneumonia that knocked him out for a while. Ant's a lovely chap. I live not far from him and see him around occasionally, and once got a phone call from him - in the pub, while myself and the singer were interviewing a keyboard player about joining our Genesis tribute band. "we don't always get phone calls from Genesis ex-members when talking to new bandmates" we had to admit. Anyway, he was calling to arrange collection of a 12-string guitar he was kindly donating as a charity auction item for a Genesis convention we were playing at. So I went to collect it, and we had a nice chat about the early days, and he asked if any of his era songs were in our set. He was quite chuffed to hear that The Knife, White Mountain, The Musical Box and Fountain of Salmacis were included. (The latter despite being on Nursery Cryme from after he left, featured compositional input from Ant).

  10. [quote name='five-string.co.uk' timestamp='1387210977' post='2309415'] 5 down is incorrect [/quote] Depends how you spell it

  12. Stratus is in our current setlist... as is Red Baron. I'm hoping to get this in there one day [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-b_h8i9eWU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-b_h8i9eWU[/url]
  13. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1386587889' post='2301718'] And John is a top bloke as well. I was due for an audition with them 3 years ago on a Sunday night. Set off, got stuck for two hours on a closed M6 didn't make it. He was really sympathetic when I rang and explained, despite studio etc being booked and paid for. Didn't get the gig . Gutted in many ways at the time, but having seen them and the bass pedals that are used I would be knackered just by the Riverdancing. Go see em if you like early (proper) Genesis [/quote] Having being the Rutherford in a few other Genesis tribs, I can vouch for (a) the Riverdancing aspect - although there's only one point in the repertoire where I recall having to use both feet and both hands at the same time; and (2) John is indeed a top bloke, having crossed paths with him several times on the circuit with his previous tribute Face Value. So - go see Mama if you get the chance.
  14. I was at the O2 on saturday for Simple Minds/Ultravox. The play-in music for SM was "Obscured By Clouds"... what a tune. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIBFNdRa_Ls"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIBFNdRa_Ls[/url]
  15. I once got tenosynivitis when I upped my practice level and took on some new streches and techniques. (See [url="http://www.patient.co.uk/health/tendonitis-and-tenosynovitis"]http://www.patient.c...d-tenosynovitis[/url]). It's an inflammation of the tunnel that the tendon moves in, causing the tendon to travel less freely than in otherwise would do. Rest and anti-inflammatories sorted it out, and it's not been a problem since. Of course you might have a gangrenous Mount of Mercury for all I know, so best to head to the GP for a proper diagonsis.
  16. We played a 10-song set including The Chicken and Birdland on a Dec 1st show, Jaco's birthday. Guess which songs featured my biggest flubs. Sorry JP
  17. My current favourites are Obscured By Clouds, Meddle and the Live At Pompeii film.
  18. Hi - my band Velcro Pelmet are playing at the New Cross Inn on Sunday night, December 1st.

  19. [quote name='borisbrain' timestamp='1385124474' post='2284700'] ...and created The Undercocks. Instantly unique, a bit cheeky and memorable, and does what it says on the tin. [/quote] Jim's Perineum Cheese And Disco.
  20. The Moog Taurus 3 is polyphonic. Lord knows how you do it though.
