Hello, thought Id revisit this thread to give an update. I started on the cod liver oil shortly after posting, and then switched over to Glucosamine Sulphate. I haveno idea if its doing me any good, but I have managed to get rid of the pain by doing some vigorous stretching exercises once a day for a couple of weeks. I mean really going to town on the hands and wrists. Result - pain gone and hasn't been back since. So far anyway. Unfortunately for me I wasn't able to continue with any stretches as I fell off a ladder and have messed up some bones in my hand, got some surgery coming up soon to hopefully fix that. Hasn't stopped me playing tho I hope the other posters in this thread have had some good results in sorting their problems?

Only Lionel Blair

jeez.....when is it going to end?

another vote for Strawberries and MGE here Someone said up there that The Damned are the band they've seen live the most, well thatd be because they are fecking everywhere lol

Weve all had bad uns mate, chalk em up to experience, have a beer and move on to the next. always onwards and upwards, and chances are a lot of folk probably didn't even notice

Scrap it and start again lol

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1398620416' post='2435833'] Not quite in your league Pete but I played a gig with raging flu back in 87, I mean the real thing and not just a bad cold. I had a temperature of 101 and should have been in bed, but it was a Saturday night headline in London and there's no way I was going to see the band pulled. I got through that gig on the power of lemsip and adrenaline, walked off stage and virtually passed out into the arms of my roadie spent the next 4 days welded to my mattress. [/quote] Beaten to it, ive also played with the full on flu, where I was struggling to hit the right notes coz I was shaking so much. Worst gig ive ever played, luckily for me there was a pillar next to my rig so I let it keep me upright for most of the night. I fell off a ladder in January and have spannered up my fretting hand, very painful to play, specially fretless but ive still gigged with it. the audience just think im really getting into it when im grimacing with pain lol. Got an appointment to see a surgeon on Monday at last, so hopefully get it sorted out soon

Looks like we're all stumped with that one ^^^^

close enough. crack on

I have a ticket for the Sept 2nd show, its cost me a fair bit but Im happy I have it. I look at it as 'research' lol

Del palmer seemed a bit miffed with the whole affair on his FB page.....or is that just a ruse?

get a sax player in and do Steppenwolf. And another vote for the HLL version of quark strangeness and Charm, My favourite album tho is Chronicles of the Black sword, so do that. All of it please.

I was told that I was a fool for selling a Guild for the price I did as there was one on ebay for nearly twice the price. This was well over a year ago, and the Guild on ebay is still being advertised for its ridiculous price....... Value is all about what someone is willing toupee....

Ive been having a bit of bother with the repetitive bassline in Boogie Oogie Oogie, but found that a good stretch before playing it seems to help with the pain

well done mate heres to many more Threads like this are great, we never stop learning, I myself have only very recently ( i.e. last gig I played) learned to write my set list in a large enough font to be able to actually see it whilst on stage. Marker pens on multiple sheets of paper are the way forward All the best, I hope we share a stage one day

Just learning it ( or an approximation of it) for a function gig. What a fun and funky little tune, I wonder who wrote the bassline? That is all. As you were

[quote name='madshadows' timestamp='1392150225' post='2365412'] The bass I bought a few weeks ago is at #2 John [/quote] and how are you finding it?

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1391375008' post='2356508'] A question if I may, why do you close your eyes and play in the dark.... Surely just one would do the job [/quote] He's scared of the dark

Yeah, following andy mckees trail ledme there. Don Ross is another on their label who can play like a god
