Not many people qualified to sing that, but if you are - who's to complain ??
[/quote]

There's always someone ready to complain, it was banned off the radio wasn't it?

This thread inspired me to learn it, I thought I wasn't getting anywhere at first but I stuck at it and it comes out really easily now. Don't give up, I've been playing for the same amount of time as you so it's definitely not impossible!

Deffo= yes

I know deffo means yes, but you put 'no' at the start, thought you meant definitely don't

Eh? I can't tell if you like it or not

I would have thought the Gary Glitter back catalogue is a bit of a no-no these days.

Rock and Roll part 2 is a really good song too

Anything by Gary Glitter, and Spasticus Autisticus by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. I was listening to that one last night and wondering the same thing.

Holy Cow - that's seriously tricky!

Mine was Ramble On by the mighty Led Zep

I know, I really underestimated that one!

I think I'll lock mine up tonight

She'll always be the Woman in Black to me...

I was thinking the same thing. Imagine waking up and seeing her hovering above your bed playing your bass.

The 115 cab is good, I really noticed a big difference in clarity when I connected mine up. It's dead loud too.

Is Kermit one of them lizard people that David Icke is always going on about?

Only with Rickenbackers.

I'm intrigued, what is it and what does it do?

??? What/who is this? Did GF just sample that or rip it off? Interesting.
[/quote]

Grandmaster Melle Mel sampled it, Grandmaster Flash actually had nothing to do with that record apparently.

Mainly for 3:39 onwards, one of the reasons I learnt to play.

Band on the Run is a great bassline, so is Rain, they're my two favourites from each band and both really fun to play too.

I'd have to say The Beatles because I'm biased and haven't heard much of Wings.

I'm jealous of his legs. >.>

But if he's half as pretty under that mask as I imagine him to be, goddamn, he'd be perfect. There aren't enough pretty guys who play bass. No offence chaps.

Oh, and sorry if I'm a little down on that part of Wales - my lot are from Flint, hence the 'gobby Scouser' tag

Nothing like a bit of North/South banter

me too!

I played drums. My kit was made from a plastic bucket, cardboard cilinders, with tape to protect the "skins" from my sticks (cardboard alone breaks too quickly), three metal plates of various sizes that were original part of a fruit holder, the underside of my little sister's cot (metal strips and springs, sounded great and reverby ) and a real cymbal I managed to buy at the local flea market for nearly nothing as it was bent.

One friend of mine played electric guitar (not an Affinity Squier, those did not exist yet, Squiers are actually decent... he had some horrible made in Japan or somewhere else unplayable thing, the brand name was Arirang), and another played a Spanish guitar. That was our band. The "Maderos Light" we called ourselves.

We were 16. We did not let instruments (or talent) get in the way of us being in a band

Who needs instruments!

When we started most of the stuff was borrowed or starter kit.

This guy says he's been playing for four years though, and says he's been in a band before

My drummer mate rang me before to say he'd found a guitarist, I asked him if he had any recordings to show us and he hung up to go and find out. Ten minutes later I got a text off the guitarist saying:
"I'll do me best to do 1 but it's probz gunna be at the weekend, im working till like 5 everydai this week so I'm gunna be shattered man."
Fair enough, five pm is ridiculously late after all...
Then I asked him what amp he was using, he said: "its a little one i got in the box with my guitar"
Why tell someone you're looking for a band if you've got no interest in putting time aside to practise, and no appropriate equipment?

I personally could care less if some one dosn't like my music or my playing.

Couldn't care less, surely?

Strumming a 6 string no problem, pick up a bass - different story!
[/quote]

I was talking about this with my brother last night. I was teaching him a few guitar chords and we could sing along just fine on the guitar, but when I went back to my bass to play along with him, my brain decided to lock my fingers and deactivate my vocal cords. The same thing happened to him, it's really strange.
