Definately different to both a hash brown and a scone. Imagine a pancake about 6-8 inches across cut into triangles but made with potato and flour. Maybe a bit like a nan bread??? But only in appearance. I'm going to have to have a go at making it myself!

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366731384' post='2056561'] Yes, I can't have a fry without potato bread and soda bread. A filled soda is a great thing too! [/quote] Why is it that what was once seen as "peasant Fayre" is always just the best? You guys are making me miss my grandads cooking! Back on topic, the OP should check out black sabbaths new track..... If he can't pick geezer out of that line up he really does need help. HUGE grinding tone that it sounds amazing!

Hey kiwi, I think as a whole this site is great. I must admit I was a little miffed at first when my classified add was not accepted due to not being financial. But then when I compared it with value for money against eBay, combined with the priceless info I get from the member of this forum on other topics, it seems justifiable. Although maybe as a sweetener you could offer financial members discounts on BC merchandise? I do like those polo shirts!

That sounds like a life's work milty, I think I'll join you! My grandad used to make the best, so we will stop off in Sydney!

The hat, I agree with you it can be hard to pick at times. Earty metallica like off kill em all is a good example check out seek and destroy, and the four horsemen.

Without bass there is no metal IMHO, I also don't subscribe to the just support the guitar school of metal bass. Personal I am constantly amazed at cliff Burtons style he locks in with the kick drum, supports the main guitar riff but also throws in mad runs.... Legend (ducking for cover from the cliff basher's now). But seriously, how good is potato bread!!!

Being an Aussie Growing up in the 80's, the divinyls were part of the soundtrack to my childhood. Chrissy was blessed with an amazing and unique voice, truly a one off, and she wrote/performed some amazing songs and will be missed. I'm not too sure on the "classy lady" description, she was a dirty rock n roller to the core, I've heard a story or two that could make a sailor blush 😳RIP darlin.

Hi guys n gals, not sure if this is the right spot for this but here goes. I am building a practice space in my garage, which will consist of stud timber frame with sound deadening plasterboard. I was going to use rock wool in the cavity for additional sound insulation but that stuff is expensive 😳. Any thoughts on how effective it is for sound insulation, and any other more cost effective suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Much the same as Frankenstein's monster was created from various body parts and became his own master, so too you can build your own sound. Don't dismiss what your heroes have done, study them closely and you may find that the thing you really like about them is one particular part of their playing style. Use this and morph it with all your favourite players and create your sound that way.

Thank you to the op for being so candid, I have had the same thoughts on quitting at times, it's only that I'm a stubborn bugger that I refuse to quit. I also thought the big guys were just in a league if there own, but I have started listening to bass master tracks for transposition recently, and even they get it wrong at times... I think the important thing to remember is that bass is a HARD instrument to play perfectly ALL the time, use your recordings as a positive learning experience rather than a harsh examination. Remember, keep moving! Motion is creative and positive and has energy. At the risk of throwing another one line out there, I constantly remind myself that the quickest way to success in any walk of life, is find something that is hard or that you are avoiding and do that! Just think of it as easy and it will be!!! You don't want to end up like the worlds angriest guitarist who is all over Facebook at the moment, if you don't know what I'm talking about I suggest you get ready for a really good laugh! +1 to the advice of playing at half tempo, I find this invaluble in learning to play fast passages

The saying is true, no pain no gain! So long as we are only talking surface pain and not muscle/tendon pain. I think the problem lies in your preparation, you say you practice for 30 mins a night and then do two 1 hour sets at a gig.... Think how much training a professional footballer trains per day for two 45 min halves, I'm tipping its more than 22.5 mins! Remember, don't over do it to the point of doing an Injury, but the harder you train (or practice) the easier the big game (or gig) will be. Good luck, and remember pain is only temporary!
