Cant stick Neil Young, but love this song. Had no idea it was him

By 'eck! Look at the 'orn on that! Lovely. Never played one, but haven't seen a Carvin I haven't liked the look of yet

Pop along to a Cloudbusting gig, I dont use any effects at all, and around 50% of the songs we play are fretless.

Played some corking venues with Cloudbusting, but probably the worst venue Ive played would be a chicken shed in Thornton, Leicestershire. Thankfully devoid of chickens at the time, though we could have said the gig was packed with tasty birds if it hadn't been I suppose

So what is that? As you say the body on it is rather lovely

Pointless asking on here, go and find the Op on www.thirdguitarchat.co.uk

Hawkwinds/Michael Moorcocks Elric chronicles, spread across several albums, might be worth a mention

A good band will play their audience as much as they play their instruments IMO Also IMO, all the ideas you've had for arranging your songs are good, except the one about trying to group songs with matching or similar keys. A key change can be a great way to steer a flow of songs, and can markedly show the transition from one song to the next. Id try not to have too many in a row in the same key if I could ( tho if I'm honest, probably wouldn't put that much thought into it) my own bands set lists seem determined by how many changes of instrument the guitarist has to make, and me too. Ive had sets where I'm changing every song. Looks daft on stage that IMO. Thankfully this years set 1 is mostly played on the fretless

Joes Garage - Frank Zappa **edit** and pretty much all of the other Zappa albums too thinking about it

Ive just read the description, aparently theres a volume control. i wonder where? Ive discovered too that I find the beaten up Black and Decker workmate that is straining to support the weight more aesthetically pleasing than the horrific monstrosity that is sat atop it.

Yeah like that

Anyone recognise the player?

Just stumbled across this, now seems he's looking for more than just a bass player. Maybe the others were so sick they've now died? http://www.bandmix.co.uk/derelics/

Their version of Born To Run kicks the living daylights out of Springsteens version!

The whole album is just magical.

Sadly Joes Garage was released just before the 80's but You Are What You Is wasn't. Frank Zappa

oooh my The Cults Love album. Awesome record. And Ive remembered another, Fields of the Nephilims self titled debut was staggering **edit** got mixed up Dawnrazor was in front of The Nephilim

I have a tried and tested solution to the whole 'mates rates' thing. I haven't got any mates.

A couple more, 'Anthem' and 'The Changeling' both by Toyah [quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1453634516' post='2961170'] The Hounds of Love - Kate Bush [/quote] Ooops, errrr, yeah I meant that one ^^

Welcome to the Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Well, Trevor Horn

Ah yes, silly me.

[quote name='interpol52' timestamp='1453069359' post='2956179'] I'm not really bothered either way about them. But I do like some of the names they come up with. PeteLoaf is my favourite by a mile. [/quote] I'm still waiting for Bjorkwind

[quote name='JellyKnees' timestamp='1453068087' post='2956167'] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Straw man argument - I didn't say that at all, I'm just questioning the whole validity of the tribute thing. Personally, I'd rather watch 10 original bands, of which only 1 or 2 might be any good, rather than 10 tribute acts who play impeccable versions of whatever band’s songs. I guess it all depends why you go to gigs. If you want see something [b]safe and predictable you can sing along to whilst basking in the warm nostalgic glow of your youth,[/b] go suck those tribute acts up. I just happen to think it’s boring and pointless. I really don’t care how much money they make or how much the x factor loving masses enjoy them or how fantastic the musicians who play in them are. [/font] [/quote] that's freaking hilarious
