[quote name='douggie' timestamp='1367834147' post='2069875'] Hi All Just wanted to drop a line to say I do like popping in here and generally have the cockles of my heart warmed by the kind and respectful things most people have to say to and about me, which is why I'm generally glad to answer questions and give advice, (Usually just on what gear for what song for your Floyd tribute band, so, easily done..) By and large we bass players are a lovely lot. it would be ridiculous to expect there not to be folk who don't like me, and I often respect the opinions expressed, (even I don't like me sometimes..)Although, I would say to anyone who thinks that they're being witty by using my surname as an insult against me, you're really not. I think I was well within my rights to kick off at having my actual character questioned to the point of slander though (And by a moderator..Oh the irony....) But onwards and upwards, all water under the bridge. Cheers Guy [/quote] you could write a song out of it ? !

another noob

did you catch joe walsh and the other one were interviewed on simon mayo on radio 2 one evening last week? are they about to do some gigs somewhere soon?

went rather well - probably one of the more bizarre and quirky venues you will find - very good host and good crowd - thoroughly recommend [url="http://bloomsburysbiddenden.com/"]http://bloomsburysbiddenden.com/[/url]

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1367682283' post='2068372'] I used to get sweaty hands a lot on stage, but as time went on, it happened less and less. I've concluded that it may be a symptom of nervousness, as I don't get nearly as nervous on stage these days. [/quote] possibly this - we had a great gig last night - drummer was gibbering in a pool of sweat in the corner - me, i wasnt even sweating, no slimey hands no stinky armpits, nothing!! unfortunately if Roland's theory is correct he might have to wait another 32 years

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1365250675' post='2037188'] I have been known to wear the odd loud shirt or 2 but have really gone overboard and bought a Sh1teShirt , boy is it offensively loud , it might even drown out the PA [/quote] funny enough i was just looking at their website to order one for gigs tonight i will be taking two shirts with me - black if i feel like mellowing into the background or pink/white stripes with paisley cuff and colours if i feel like impersonating a 6 foot chrysanthemum (apparently its some sort of garden centre venue or something)

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1367245337' post='2063067'] The first time I heard Jaco? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXiYkOEBv8U[/media] Mind you, it would be another 30 years before I realised it ... [/quote] this but not 30 years - anyone in the south east area remember listening to radio caroline? they used to play all american alien boy quite often in the late 70s and iirc thats the first time i heard jaco and then on the joni mitchell mingus album

good innit

[quote name='davedave' timestamp='1367319303' post='2064054'] I've never heard them actually. Thanks for the tip though. The plan was originally for a Pedal Steel, a Tuba, and just one guitar. The Steel player didn't have the time sadly. Oh, and it's a Trussart Steeltop. [/quote] oh why not we havent had it for a while and it would be rude not to [url="http://youtu.be/N5QYijFfOaQ"]http://youtu.be/N5QYijFfOaQ[/url]

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1367400533' post='2065048'] The word rehearsals and professional band are like fish and bicycle . As soon as you hear regular weekly rehearsals you know you are going to end up dictating chords to a lazy guitarists, telling the drummer where to break and stop and what kind of beat to play. The singer wont have any equipment other than a old microphone, not even a lead. Those with a few years under the belt know that all learning is done at home to the record, no made up "improved" guitar solos and no made up drum fills. The band only needs to come together to break the mojo of gigging, the material is learnt at home to the record in two or three blocks. These are things that take 30 years to learn. [/quote] +1

very minimalist

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1367347328' post='2064552'] As a wish list I would agree with most of it except the amp sizes. Bigger just looks cooler And wouldn't an ego free environment be amazing! [/quote] wow just imagine - guitarers with big amps AND keeping the volume down AND no egos ok so the volume thing is just wishful thinking i know but dont knock me please im having an optimistic five minutes here

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1367319193' post='2064050'] I'd love to go and upset the scatty MILFs on mumsnet, but I waste enough time upsetting people on here as it is! [/quote] do it

haha good luck tbh i stopped reading when i got to the ego-free zone bit sorry to be harsh

well i never thought id see tubby the tuba played alongside a zemaitis ... and in 'ull too cardiacs fans by any chance?

sluvleee

oooh yes basement jaxx - wheres your head at [url="http://youtu.be/5rAOyh7YmEc"]http://youtu.be/5rAOyh7YmEc[/url]

[quote name='iconic' timestamp='1367216876' post='2062545'] I dont think i need worry about talent scounts or paperrattzi just yet....sex before/after gig etc [/quote] just try and blag that youre the drummer - most of the audience wont have even noticed you playing the bass unless youve been jumping around tigger stylee

music industry, like nature, abhors a vaccuum i fear that if we were to suddenly export Ms Sande to Uranus her place would swiftly be filled by some third-rate Nicki Minaj wannabee fresh from the casting couch of some ubiqitous lothario
