Have to admit i wouldn't generally class them as Glam but mot more rock possibly even verging on Prog. Think many think of them with Zal Cleminson costume and they did have a lot of fun songs. For me Glam was short pop rock songs more well known for singles than albums. Dave

That's because they remember Tom Jones doing it

Love the bass on Radar Love. Not sure how it will go down with a modern audience. Let us know as i'm really curious. Dave

I'm a Harley rider. Goes with the territory

It was on my list so might well get that one in somehow. Dave

We don't have a keys player altho we are looking into it as some songs simply need keys to do them justice. Dave

The set list is larger but the ones i listed are the ones i had to learn for the first rehearsal. Trex, Slade, Osmonds, Hello, Marmalade, Elton John, Suzi Quatro. All the usual classics. There are so many to choose from. Plus i get to wear sparkly gear and platform shoes / boots. What's not to like

Saw them on Youtube. Cool bass They are pretty good too. As i've said before not in it for the money but if its there i'll put it in my pocket of course. Just think its a great fun style of band. That's the main thing for me. I know of quite a few covers bands that do that particular song. It always goes down well tho so i'd stick with it. Great fun song.

OK i decided to watch a youtube clip about reservation for a car hire. Now i see what you mean by the slap bass bit. This actually looks quite funny. How did i miss this. Dave

your an addict now

I knew there was a series but i never even flicked channels to see what it was about and had no idea who was in it. Completely oblivious to this one. Oddly enough i generally like American sitcoms too. Not sure why

That's assuming there will be an audience Blockbuster is actually B to E so not quite the same and i only found that out few weeks ago when i started working on it

Lets not get into that one again but as Trevor says its GAG

Played it a few times in a 70's covers band last year and it always went down a storm. Just a great party song. Always and end of night song tho.

Ballroom Blitz, 20th Century Boy, My Coo Ca Choo, Shang-a-Lang, Blockbuster, Jean Genie, Tiger Feet, Wig Wam Bam just to get us started. The singer already does it as a solo act for charity and wanted to take it a step further. He also sings in an Ozzy / Randy Rhodes tribute band. Been trying to get this up and running for about 5 years as its what got me into music many moons ago. Dave

Well finally got the ball rolling with the Glam Rock covers band. 1st rehearsals this sunday. 8 songs learned and raring to go. Quite excited about this one probably because its the style of bands that first got me into music. Still doing my Classic Rock / Metal too. Dave

Sorry

Had a listen to Seinfield theme tune. Is that what you're talking about. I'd never watched the show before or heard the theme before. Dave

Nope no idea. Afraid i'm still lost Bazzbass. Maybe its an age thing Dave

Damn that's where i'm going wrong.

What theme. You can't leave me hanging like that. Not at my age Dave

Used to love playing along with this stuff all those years ago even tho i played in rock and prog bands these were more of a challenge as well as being such great songs. Lots of wee tricky bits in there but its more about groove and feel for this style of music. Been such a long time since i last heard this. Lovin it. Makes me want to go and plug in my bass. Thanks for posting Dave

I've never heard that before. Nice. Like it.

Not an expert by any means but i know some PJ's are fitted with Jazz necks. My Precision deluxe has a Jazz neck altho its not as thin front to back as my Geddy Jazz. Bassist with MacFloyd has changed his P bass pick ups too. Can't remember what he went for. Must be a Floyd thing to customise your bass
