Not misled, the Wow! was entirely for Lurksalittle's video skillz. Although I'll take special note to lower my expectations anyway

Wow!

[quote name='Fozza' timestamp='1423306507' post='2683263'] Something by Michael Jackson? [/quote] On the right track... it's sung in the "character" of MJ, but is in fact [quote name='joe.nemms' timestamp='1423308401' post='2683304'] Frank Zappa - 'Why Don't You Like Me' [/quote]

One of these months I'll join in. Bet whoever wins this one will be well chuffed.

[quote name='andy159' timestamp='1423235932' post='2682610'] luckily it wasnt a jazz bass [/quote] They're only available in cream, I believe.

I would have.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1423186811' post='2682092'] Well it is tuned, so that's got to be worth something? [/quote] And it's shiny.

Decided to go back and get tix for both London dates. Grr, could've saved £2.20 in postage if I'd done them in one transaction!

OK, here's one for you: "I am my sister, and Jermaine is a negro!"

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1423224293' post='2682379'] That is the mighty Half Man Half Biscuit with their seminal 99% of Gargoyles Look Like Bob todd. Next line - "I don't normally like tomatoes John, but this is delicious." Love it. Do ya ken ted Moult? lol How about this "I am un chien Andalucía" [/quote] Debaser! Pixies. Edit: don't know how my answer ended up in the quote, makes it look like you answered your own question! Next line is of course "wanna grow, grow up to be, be a debaser".

Booked for Hackney (Dress Circle)! Pricey, but probably once in a lifetime...

Nice one!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1423137149' post='2681169'] Way back in her day, Tina Turner ( it was said ) would not break her bands pay scale to get in a guy who wanted £5k a week...and this was at a time just before she was doing all the huge dates..so as a touring act she was a hot as they come..at that time. Not sure if the band ....who she stuck by for years, had a pay review to take into account her revised status but the guy basically blew out all her major TV gigs in Rio and the like. [/quote] Reminds of Bowie's band. In the mid-70s Earl Slick was promptly shown the door when he demanded more money. Fast-forward to the Let's Dance period, when Stevie Ray Vaughan becomes flavour of the month. He demands more money, is shown the door, and is replaced by... Earl Slick!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1423145724' post='2681372'] I didn't have a heart to give this, the best of clues. Maybe I need a holiday... [/quote] If you're going on holiday, don't forget to book a nanny. You know how those little boys squabble.

Would it be stressful to put a deadline on this...?

I did find it a bit repetitive though... every other chapter seemed to include a moan about having to "meet and greet" to a degree beyond that of the good old days....

[quote name='HengistPod' timestamp='1423060566' post='2680149'] All makes perfect sense to me. hairychris - you may want to note the following guide to musicians' love lives: [/quote] A friend of mine did a modded version of this with a couple of cats sniffing around the bass player's ankles.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1423058458' post='2680112'] [color=#252525][font=sans-serif]the miscalibration of the incompetent[/font][/color] [/quote] One of my favourite Marillion albums!

Compressorgate: a low threshold, a fast attack time, a slow release time, a hard knee (jerk), and very little gain.

Hurrah! Time to cross them off the all-time-favourite-bands-I've-never-seen list!

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1422987445' post='2679215'] When my band were all about 17 years old, a short, dumpy, late middle aged lady with a slight moustache came up to our drummer and told him that, after she'd seen us the last time we'd played at that venue, she'd then gone home and fantasized about him whilst having sex with her husband. There wasn't a lot he could say to that to be fair. [/quote] He could have asked her if he was any good...

[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1422980846' post='2679117'] If the ever you question whether you should by a new bass the answer is always yes.... [/quote] Yes.
