I have recently just left a band because I cant just book x amount of time off at the drop of a hat to swan over into Europe. They had toured before in eastern Europe and admitted some nights they stopped playing after 2 songs where the places were empty, yet they were still rattling on about about lets pay £6000 to tour with so and so or lets go and play out the back end of the world to no one........nope not for me
bassist 37 in south London looking for rock metal band.
into everything from deep purple to deicide.
Years of gigging and recording exp
pro gear, have transport and a 9-5 job
Am not willing to pay £££ to play/tour the ass end of eastern europe to 5 people
apart from that im quite a nice chap
thanks
apart from digging the music its the craic. all the sitting around waiting at gigs etc it really makes a difference
Sometimes I have laughed so hard ive nearly wet myself
1.people I actually get on with and can have a laugh with (lots of sitting around in gigging bands)
Thats pretty much it. Im an easy going guy so most things im cool with as long as were all on the same wavelength
Metal for me. Used to love steve harris ( iron maiden) but it was rex brown (pantera)who made me want to play bass.I have been trying to emulate his style and groove ever since
4k !!! my aunt was buried a month ago burial was 4k,plot dug up to be laid with husband 1k ,to be brought through Bromley to southwark 3k,flowers 1k.
I don't think my sh*tty Ibanez will get me much
i had this problem at a gig the weekend.My drummer uses a ride cymbal but where the kit was on a rack he couldn't use it because the rack was in the way.As you said a bit of consveration before hand would solved all of this.
If im sharing bass gear I sort it all weeks before the gig
Ive had one for 2 months and its rotten.Id like to know as well as im a bit worried about putting something to harsh on the body as it seems quite soft
I get in from a gig the only things my wife asks are was it good and did you play well.
And the gigs she does come to she see my talking to woman she know that part of gigging is interacting with people and does not pay much attention
If she did say anything id tell her to get a grip
