To avoid losing stuff or leaving it behind: 1. Develop a system where individual gear items and cases are always packed in the same way into the vehicle(s). This way you'll notice if something is missing, both on the way out and on the way back. Have one person responsible for placing the gear into the vehicle while the others (not including the singer, obviously) bring the stuff out of the venue. 2. When leaving the venue, always have a (sensible and sober) band member walk slowly around the stage area checking to see if you've left anything behind (leads, monitors, drummers etc). 3. And the last check before you drive off - walk all the way around the packed vehicle, looking for anything left on the pavement, propped up against a wall or tree etc etc. Stuff is easy to miss in the rush to get away. At different times I've found one of our monitors and a guitar left outside.

Well, there's a bar in the high street.... Oh, wait...

And Gail Ann Dorsey

Nope. It's you... 😁

I've only played two weddings, both for older couples. Both times we did this song. Went down really well, and lots of eye dabbing ensued... These Arms of Mine

You could buy yourself a Harley Benton bass for that...

I'm waiting for the BC Rich one...

"Charlie's good tonight, ain't he?"

Dr Feelgood - Stupidity Stones - Get Yer Ya-Yas Out Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense Mott the Hoople - Mott Live Neil Young - lots (even the barely 'live' overdubbed ones) Alex Harvey - British Tour 1976 Alex Harvey - US tour 1974 I realise I've clearly identified my age (to within a few years) with that lot...

Yeah, but mine cut to the essence, with no unnecessary fripperies. 😁

A cover? Well, there's always this one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjkzbCkZEuQ

...and/or a Pa

Dreams, Fleetwood Mac. It sits on two chords for ever, then when it gets to the lovely little bass breakdown I've switched off and I miss it. Every time...

Are they any good for metal?

A couple of AC30s. Well, if it was good enough for the Beatles... 😁

Well, I'm no good... but I'm here

But which one is best for metal?

We've had Russian singers, so what about Leonid Kharitonov? (Sorry about the sound quality.) And there's this impromptu performance of "Katyusha" on an airliner. These harmonies make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - surely these women must be a singing ensemble? PS "Katyusha" is an important song for Russians, one that has become associated with their 41-45 war. A bit like the British and "White Cliffs of Dover". Except it's a much better song...

And taking another slant on vocals is this guy...

Well I see LSD has been done so I won't add to that. But what about Cat Power? Yes she can be flakey, but when she is on....

Yes. And proud of it!

Climax Blues Band - neither climatic nor bluesy

By 'eck Sticky, you've got weird fingers...

Already been mentioned, but FWIW: Stupidity - Dr Feelgood Get Yer Ya-Yas Out - the Stones Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads Well that lot kinda fixes me in time...

Only two that I can recall: Uriah Heep, Edinburgh, mid 70s. They were head-splittingly loud.. and, err... that's it. Robert Cray in the 90s. Boring low-key mid-paced endless noodling, all at the same level and energy. He made the mistake of having an interval...
