Tell us how it went!!!

1. Doesn't speed up. 2. Doesn't slow down. 3. Is able to react accordingly if either of the above have been brought to their attention.

And of course after Billy Sheehan left, the excellent Paul Gray (ex Eddie & The Hot Rods and The Damned) strapped on a T'bird and powered them on some more

Ouch!! Great to hear the audience still singing "Bruce! Sheila!" in Nuclear Device at the start though

Well, I still have an early 80's black bodied Precision that I bought a few years back from a certain person on here.. ahem! Replaced the neck with an after market maple lefty and threw my fave SD Quarter Pounders in there and it absolutely is my No.1 go to

Exactly as I would normally do to. Never again

I had a salutary reminder that I can't drink a lot and play. A pre birthday gig + didn't have to drive = Oh dear.

There certainly was a prog element in there. From concept style albums, leftfeild subject matter and some great odd time signatures. In the middle section of Curfew on Black and White, which has a phrase repeated six times. The 2nd part of the fourth phrase has one extra beat in it.. why? WHY?? Oh and the drum pattern start of Peasant In The Big Sh*tty on a count of 9. Also The Raven and The Gospel According To The Meninblack have some corking odd stuff going on. I guess it was another of those bands with four differing talents that clicked. Jet's drum rhythms are rarely straight. Hugh's edgy spiky guitar. Dave's extraordinary keys and of course JJ's bass. Love them!

This is a fantastic book to read as you go through the albums and songs. Lends another colour to them (.. and I've lost my copy).

I was Dee Dee earlier, was bored and so I did the Sids.

Oooh! Previous convictions eh? He should go down this time once it gets to court. I wonder if a class action against him is possible? Good to see the MU taking notice. Are they aware of the evidence that's built up on here?

Sssssh! Don't let the secret out!

Oh yes indeed. Obv the list is verrrrry subjective. Under the chin basses are in it though.

That spin malarkey comes a very very close second to bass solos in my book (well, more like a pamphlet really).

Yeah. Look like you're in a band and play like you're having fun. Punters do notice.

Bass solos? Never ever, blo*dy ever. When playing live (in a covers band) before going in to a specific song with an excellent bass intro (which are allowed of course).. I will inform the punters what a bass is and if they are ever at a gig and the bass player threatens to play a solo, they should finish their drinks, grab their coats and leave in composed yet hasty fashion. I then tell them this is an intro... and off we go

He can't stop.. the word is not in his vocabulary!

Uhmmm.. five?

Yes indeed!
