[quote name='iconic' timestamp='1370847210' post='2106126'] .. I'm guessing the WAL owner is 'trying it on' the pubs public liabilty insurance possibly because he feels the two guys are known to the landlord, but landlord doesn't wish to bubble them up and WAL man (WALly?) hasn't anywhere else to go with this? A sorry tale indeed. [/quote] youre friend could report it to local police as criminal damage - from your OP it sounds as though there is grounds for this to be reckless criminal damage rather than an unfortunate accident - the police could then request cctv from the landlord - but if he does i would suggest that he mentions this to the police as the landlord might try and fob them off that the cctv wasnt recording properly or some excuse so he doesnt have to grass his friends up if thats what you suspect

trying to go after the venue is imho lazy and disingenuous and will serve little purpose other than possibly having the legal rottweilers from the brewery snarling at your friend and as for the venue manager, dont be surprised if he/she is less amicable towards future bookings

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1370781723' post='2105410'] Did they use real eggs during the show? He took his jacket off but i didn't see any anywere, but that may just be me... [/quote] yes she would have to be a good shot to have hit him and we all know what girls are like at throwing

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1370780865' post='2105389'] The whole show is a joke, and the fact that a non-British talent won the show sort of sums the whole thing up really. [/quote] what disturbs me quite a bit actually is the number of people i know, who i would describe as educated and rational, continue to hold a rabid fanaticism for this show (and other drivel of the same ilk) while there is a sizeable contingent of the populace such as us discerning basschatters who will quite happily feed it to the hounds for sunday afternoon entertainment, the aforementioned rabid types still claim that they 'see the joke' but nonehteless continue to salivate and froth at the mouth everytime this slime oozes forth from the idiot lantern?

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1370758700' post='2105117'] We had a Pub gig last night. Not too many in, but those that were in seemed to really enjoy it..... [/quote] this!! was there something exceptionally good on the idiot lantern last night ? perish the thought that all our regulars stayed at home to watch the final of BGT or some other drivel

[quote name='4-string-thing' timestamp='1370708604' post='2104726'] Not always the case, I have the skills and patience (and so do the musicians I've been in bands with) to lean/play/rehearse/reproduce plenty of songs, but it's the last thing I'd want to do. I'm sure this is the case with a lot of people on here. . . [/quote] thats why i said 'usually' instead of 'always'

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1370645147' post='2104042'] I was always a bit disappointed with people who didn't like The Smiths. [/quote] I was always a bit disappointed with people who were disappointed with other people who didnt like the smiths and that made me studiosly ignore them even more i did however listen sometime later after id sort of gotten over the whole prog-to-excess phase and quite like them as for morrisey and marr spouting blx what more needs to be said that hasnt already ....marr's recent little puerile outburst forbidding 'call me dave' to like the smiths? johnny if you're reading this i would seriously go ask patsy kensit for a refund on those life coaching lessons

[quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1370591649' post='2103051'] TRAIN CRASH :-D. I learned a few more songs off the new set list and after I posted this thread, the next rehearsal was supposed to be last night. I told them at the beginning of the week I couldn't go as I've got a nasty virus. Just got an email from the drummer that the rehearsal didn't go ahead .... The keyboards didn't turn up and the singer was late so they say that they've knocked the project of the head. Looking for a proper project now but I'll be contacting the singer and keyboards :-) It certainly was an experience and my first experience of a Band. Can't imagine it could get any worse but I guess it probably could :-D [/quote] im guessing that the kybds and singist will be possibly thinking along similar lines

these are quite expensive (about 100-120) but worth trying out if you have back problems persoanlly i find them very comfortable

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1370546351' post='2102574'] Is the music INDUSTRY still thinking that to get another Beatles on their disgusting leeching books, they have to find a band that sounds like them in modern guise? Have the Beatles unwittingly created a set of boundaries that the industry is incapable of transcending in its quest for massive pop hits? Have they misjudged the young so much that they think they cant accept real innovation in mainstream pop music? [/quote] Nigel old chap I get your point but cant help thinking your logic is slightly flawed there will never be 'another beatles' in the same way there has never been another mozart or bach - there will be many who achieve similar or equal critical acclaim and popularity, but never 'another' if im reading your OP correctly then im reading that your not blaming the beatles for being so good, but more the music industry execs for trying to exploit anything/everything that even remotely copmpares? after all to blame the beatles for causing our current malaise of mediocrity would be like blaming tim berners-lee for the pernicious targetted advertising tactics of google [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1370546351' post='2102574'] Have they misjudged the young so much that they think they cant accept real innovation in mainstream pop music?[/quote] On the contrary they seem to be judging them very well and very cynically with force feeding them the sort of pap that will continue to help line their pockets - unfortunately for the 'record machine' the increasingly rapid changes of format have proved to be a tiny bit irksome for their rather one-sided marketing models and as times change ever more rapidly so their tactics will become ever more desperate and shoddy to keep apace i fear but as Alanis would say, isnt it ironic that vinyl is becoming soo fashionableagain and i bet theyre absolutley seeting about it as the resurgance in interest seems to be driven more by the music buying public supporting independent music shops (we have one here in medway which is thriving while neighbouring hmv struggle!) than anything promoted or driven by the industry edit- i think skank and risingson points about moral fibre and mediocrity can be influenced by geography too - if youre unfortunate that you live in an area with hardly any local creative arts scene then the wealth and diversity of new and young bands who shun the Simon Cowell marketing model will not be readily available for your entertainment and if you dont have the means to be able to easily travel to the next 'big town' then you can find yourself unfortunately at the mercy of whatever the tv/radio/internet is trying to force feed you this week - to demonstrate a simple point ive not even checked and im not going to even bother thinking about checking, but i am very confident in predicting that the recent tulisa/coke slow-mo car crash being dragged out in the media will only increase the poor unfortunate trollop's sales/download figures (back to skanks lack of moral fibre again) further edit (just for Nige) - FZ summed this up quite nicely many years ago in the lyrics of 'I'm The Slime' (as did Hiphoprisy with their one hit wonder!)
