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

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.

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.

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!

I can empathise with you here.I have not been diagnosed with depression but I do have Fibromyalgia; a symptom of which can be depression along with all the other stuff I have to live with(not looking for sympathy here its just a fact of life for me).[/quote]

Sorry to read that mate, my wife was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year, it's a horrible illness, she's in constant pain.

This masterpiece, shame about the production though!

Another great cover of another great song!

One of my all-time favourite bass players.
Sad & funny, just glad he's still alive.

Tbh honest I've only had one crap experience on there, that was a few years back, I bought a 4 port USB hub, when it arrived it was knackered, got sent a replacement, that was knackered too.

Not heard much by The Gun Club tbh, but you're probably right about the Sisters stuff, Though Floodland does sound like it has bass on it, could be sampled though, they did like their synths.

She hasn't aged well though...
[/quote]
Not clocked her for a decade or so, but she still looked fine to me in 2002.


[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1342873279' post='1742145']
And an underrated player,too.[/quote]
Agreed! Certainly not to be judged by that over produced Sisters of Mercy tripe.
Saw her with The Damned and she was no slouch.

At last, a rhythm stick. Always wonder what one looked like.
[/quote] lol finally

Ordered a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky's on Thursday,
my order arrived yesterday a pair of Vic Firth 5A drum sticks, phoned them up.
Me "Hello err yes mate (laughing) I ordered a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky's off of you via eBay and you've sent my a set of drum sticks, wot gives?"
FDM bloke "Oh sorry sir I'll amend your order an get a set straight out to you, I'll also send you a set for free of charge for your inconvenience."
Me "Excellent! I'll return the drums sticks as your address is on the bottom of the postage label."
FDM Bloke "No it's ok, don't bother, just give them to your drummer."

As sure as eggs is eggs. Two sets of said bass strings arrived this morning.

I know it's not a freebie 8x10 chucked in for buying two SVT rigs, for cash, but it just goes to show in this time of austerity there is still some decent traders out there, even on eBay.
