[quote name='heminder' timestamp='1345321678' post='1776349'] Those scare stories are over-exaggerated I think. It will only break if you crank it like a maniac. [/quote] or if your name is Mark D Phillips

I totally concur with the title of this thread!

Forget tuning your Ibanez's, Jackson's, BC Rich's etc. A wall of Marshall's and four of these will do the job! [media]http://youtu.be/rZ_qq8bpe8w[/media]

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1345224976' post='1775282'] Doesn't Pete Way use an Epiphone T Bird now? [/quote] He did for a while, though the last one I saw him with was the Tokai version.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1345224085' post='1775269'] ...and don't be drawn in by how they look on the Epiphone website either. It an identical image to the Gibson one with a Photoshopped headstock! Don't believe me? Identical down to the reflections on the knobs. [/quote] Well spotted matey! This pic seems to add a bit of clout to Epi's claim though.

Why not wait until next month when Epiphone launch the Classic Pro series with the Gibson pups? [url="http://www.epiphone.com/news-features/features/2012/epiphone-thunderbird-classic-iv-pro.aspx"]http://www.epiphone....sic-iv-pro.aspx[/url]

Best of the Pub Rock lot IMO. [media]http://youtu.be/IKSqbjLTKFg[/media]

[quote name='paulconnolly' timestamp='1344696041' post='1768098'] Well in their formative years they played many gigs at 'The Duke' in North Ferriby but I would agree not your typical pub rock band Good to see BBD get a mention on here. I am a big fan of Bill Nelson in general and BBD in particular. Love the bass work of the late, great Charlie Tumahai. At the forthcoming Bill Nelson fan convention along with a Bill Nelson solo set there will be a live performance from Bill and his Gentlemen Rocketeers playing many BBD and Red Noise numbers along with an improv set from Orchestra Futura with the truly brilliant Dave Sturt on bass.[url="http://www.nelsonica.com/"]http://www.nelsonica.com/[/url]. The event is sold out but if you're in York on 29th September and you loiter around the bar in the Park Inn Hotel you will hear some awesome guitar playing. [/quote] Aye he's a top quality guitarist, wish I could be there, but sadly York is about 300 miles north of me these days. Dunno if you've heard this before, but it's a great cover from another great guitarist who you'd think was very unlikely to cover a BBD song.

I didn't think Be Bop Deluxe were part of the Pub Rock scene. Dr. Feelgood, Roger C Reale & Rue Morgue, Eddie and The Hot Rods, The Pirates yeah, but certainly not Bill and the boys!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1344366628' post='1763554'] Pete Way is an absolute f***ing legend. It's astonishing that he's still alive, given the lifestyle he's had since the 70s.[/quote] It's his 61st birthday today and I for one wish him many more!

Jumper over the shoulders, it's that fella out of Haircut 100

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1344353619' post='1763239'] Never heard of him before or any of his music, but he seems a nice chap.[/quote] He was in a band called UFO, I got to meet him in '81 and he was a very down to earth, sincere bloke. [quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1344355939' post='1763274'] Thanks I remember they brought out some great rock tunes - can't remember what, when or any details but when i was a kid i loved it.[/quote] Doctor Doctor, Lights Out, Rock Bottom, Only You Can Rock Me, Too Hot To Handle, Young Blood etc.

[quote name='Adee' timestamp='1343059814' post='1744531'] Not the best advert for taking drugs, what a shame he still seems to think its clever the tosser :-/ [/quote] Is their actually a good advert for drug use? I took his drug related comments as tongue in cheek, judging by the state he's in now, I don't think for one minute he thinks it's clever! Say wot you like about him but the reality is, in his day he was a great solid bassist and showman who was in a band who (if it wern't for personality clashes) would have been huge. [quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1344348283' post='1763147'] Is he a local lad to Bournemouth? Not seen him around ... [/quote] No mate. Enfield born, now living in Birmingham.

This!

Got given a ticket to see them on The Killers tour in Middlesbrough, thought they were sh*te, left before the end of the gig. I watched last nights BBC 4 edited concert. My verdict, a handful of long-winded, 5 min plus songs that IMO went nowhere. I suppose the only things that have ever really impressed me about Iron Maiden is that they've managed to retain a massive worldwide following, and Steve Harris' stamina in keeping his 'one-trick pony' staccato rhythm going. Oh aye I also thought Dave Murray did not look a well man!
