I was there too Liam! Absolutely love this band - went along with my daughter (plus her best friend) and my mum, 3 generations at the same gig. And we had post game passes for pizza and selfies. Unforgettable night, topped off with Seb's guitar pick landing at my feet (we were on the balcony) which is now my daughter's prize possession.

Was a good night. My friend had one of Davids picks land straight in her hand. A perfectly executed 10m pick throw. I was impressed.

Simple Plan last wednesday. They were damn good as always, and i was quite suprised by Ghost Town who were the main support. Never heard of them yet i knew one of their tracks. Definately one i will be looking out for in the future.

My next one currently is Bring Me The Horizon in Birmingham in November. Think i'll be watching Hacktivist in may though and no doubt i'll add more over summer.

Beverley Park, Forty Four Hours, Your Illuminations and De'Nova last night at Gullivers in Manchester. All smaller, more local bands but a very good night nonetheless. Mix was a bit naff and way too loud though.

Can you not go direct to Pedaltrain and see what they say? They might offer it directly but not actually sell seperately.

Spotify on my phone, with a Fiio E06 and when they come back from being repaired, my ACS Evolve earbuds.

Another vote for ACS Pro 17's here. I never leave the house without them. Wish i'd made the investment a long time ago.

I had my ears syringed and that was good enough to do the mouldings for mine. Just have to tell the nurses that they're for ear moulds and they should be able to make sure they're 100% clear for you.

Biffy Clyro - Opposites is the only one i can think of that's solid all the way through.

A band i know only use modelling/DI and IEM, no matter where they play. That's just their setup. If you do it like they do and have a self contained system that's easy to set up and reliable, then i can't see any reason why not to myself.

A friend of mine uses an X32. If memory serves me correctly, their FOH engineer just uses the ipad from the booth and takes a stereo out from their X32 which is in their tour rack into the house PA and just fettles that as required.

P Bass - When i was gigging i didn't need a 5 any more so i wanted something a bit smaller and lighter
Jazz V - Originally needed a 5 string as we were in 4 different tunings. I'm also lazy, so it saves ever having to down tune for anything.
Ibanez - It was my first proper bass, has some sentimental value, and is that destroyed i couldn't sell it anyway

Pedalboard wise, my MXR provides all of my tone, tuner is quite obvious. The rest of it i can't justify as it spends most of it's life sat on a shelf somewhere.

Only ever used my amp on gigs where there was a cab provided 'cause i never had one, and it weighed almost as much as a baby elephant.

I have the 6 guitar version and they're more solid than they look. I was pleasantly surprised. Have a free bump whilst i'm here too.

There's one right here

Black Stone Cherry, Shinedown, Halestorm and Highly Suspect at Manchester Arena. Everyone was on top form, with Shinedown on another level above that. Highly Suspect were good, but not right for that tour, or that size of venue.

I am of that generation, being 20 years old. I take as much time off as i can and do my contracted hours, plus a day of overtime every 2 weeks and never once wear a tie. Not looking for promotion as it's a tiny company (6 staff) with no real tree to go up though it's been going 22 years and it's a brilliant place to work.

For some odd reason part of me was expecting a Korg Miku...

I use a Flightcase Warehouse 6 way stand for just this purpose. The Stagg GDC-6 is the same thing if that suits your needs.

went to the carnival of madness tour last night in cardiff! you will not be disappointed!

Seen Shinedown and Halestorm twice each so i know what to expect. They've pulled the times forward 2 hours for the Manchester date which is odd.

Looking at this, i'd say i have a busy 2 months.

February:
6th: Carnival Of Madness (Black Stone Cherry, Shinedown and Halestorm)
11th: Phantom Of The Opera
18th: Kerrang Tour (Sum 41, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes)
25th: Enter Shikari
26th: Boomin (Local guys, bloody brilliant)

March:
3rd: Boomin again
23rd: Simple Plan.

Had mine for a while now and no issue whatsoever. Not really had it out of the house much but it gets thrown around everywhere still anyway.

I'm 20 going on 73.

I went to see a couple of my mates play on monday night (who gigs on a monday?!) and seeing them made me want to start gigging again. It's been way too long since i've played one. Online content, youtube in particular is becoming a bigger part of the industry, especially with the younger generations. They want to be able to see something as well so just popping an album on doesn't work, everything is about the entire package. As well as that quite a few mainstream artists have been discovered through having massive fanbases on youtube, and some of them are pretty good.

I don't tend to go to gigs all that often unless someone i know is playing, but occasionally i'll just go out for a pint somewhere that has a band on and see what's what. I do regularly find new stuff online, more often than not in the bowels of youtube (It can be a scary place) and i do like to try and keep up with anyone decent i find.

Liam

I browse on probably a daily basis, but i don't post anywhere near as often as i used to.
