White Cloud

If memory serves me correct I believe Jaco was in part sleeping rough in NYC around the time of this production. Heart rending really. Never is there a truer maxim, 'When you laugh the whole world laughs with you, when you cry you cry alone'. It's all about context: everything always is. In retrospect my guess is a lot of young players won't get what the fuss was about but this footage features a genius talent already set on an irretrievable tragic course. He was on the cusp of being snuffed out and in part he craved it for some blessed relief from his demons. For me he was an absolute beast on the instrument. A monster player and a cool cat. The best.

This is a very deep question. Too many changes to list...

Just so nice 🙂

Sadly this has become all too common here in the UK: generally speaking customer service has completely nosedived no matter what you're purchasing. Guitars are no different. I could go on a rant but shall refrain. Shocking.

Too many lol. Lady Gaga 'Poker Face' springs to mind midst Gary Moore/Lizzy set.

For what it's worth I purchased a German Metroline Will Lee a couple of months ago and to be frank it is out of this world. My experiences with the Japanese variants found them to be extremely high quality too, albeit much heavier (for example my WL comes in at 7.4lbs). Best jazz I've ever owned and I've owned a lot.

Gorgeous. I really like these, congratulations 👏

Now then, the bassist with our George is getting a decent sound from that wee toy bass (Willock or something?) at Transmit. Just an observation.

Once you start chasing 'the sound' you'll never stop.

I've been doing this since 2008 but have recently come to the realisation it's becoming a bit of a lost cause. COVID and the ever diminishing economic landscape has hammered a few nails into the coffin. Times are hard.

...and who are My Chemical Romance?

Retirement. An underrated concept in the music business.

Lame...

I've seen some of the best in the business make howlers and they just get on with it. Who cares? Its only rock n roll!

I've always partaken in bands where vocal harmonies are extremely important. I do sing lead occasionally but really dig playing the role of counter harmony 😉

Great frontmen are always provocative. He's great in my view

Absolutely love Geezer, total legend

Okay. Is it just me or are The 1975 AWESOME! Tight, well constructed songs delivered live with aplomb. Drops mic, walks away...

No, not for me thanks!
