  1. [quote name='steantval' post='421617' date='Feb 28 2009, 12:19 PM']Attended and performed by the usual bunch of dickheads who think swearing and making totally ridiculous comments when receiving their awards is really clever. NOT

    Big chief dickhead (Pete Docherty) obviously thought it was "cool" to sit there smoking, somebody should have rammed the fag up his ar*e.

    They also brought out the local looney in the form of Grace Jones, why doesn't that woman grow up?
    She's only best known for slapping the chatshow host Russell Harty with her handbag many years ago.

    Elbow started the show and were very good, from then on it went quickly downhill.

    It should be renamed the NME INDIE AWARDS.[/quote]
    Good grief vicar - just read this in the Daily Mail...disgraceful...kids these days...

  2. [quote name='joegarcia' post='418323' date='Feb 24 2009, 12:54 PM']Ah, shame. Much too big for the flat let alone the door I'm afraid.[/quote]
    Oh well no worries.
    Anyone else?

  3. [quote name='joegarcia' post='416076' date='Feb 21 2009, 12:21 PM']I may very well be interested, we only have a crappy futon in our living room at the moment which is really uncomfortable. Would need measurements though as most sofas won't fit through our door (hence the futon which can be taken to pieces).[/quote]
    PM'd

  4. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='415340' date='Feb 20 2009, 02:24 PM']Would be good for me but I'm too far away, do you think a large letter stamp would do it? :P[/quote]
    LOL
    ;)
    If you pay the postage I'll see if I can get a jiffy envelope that'll fit!

  5. Giving it away.
    Got a dodgy spring at one end, other than that it's fine - usual wear-and-tear blah de blah.
    FREE - just come and pick it up if you want it.
    PM me.

    This is the result: [url="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=51354709"]http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoid=51354709[/url]

    Comments welcome, etc.

  7. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='392199' date='Jan 26 2009, 10:02 PM']is that your band? You have a pretty formidible underground presence in London. I see you being promoted all over the place and I thought "hmm, I wonder if there are any architects in that band?" :P[/quote]
    Um... are you being serious... that's Dancing For Architecture, yeah? ;)
    I think you are confusing us with Dancing ABOUT Architecture - who/which are entirely different bands - one of whom is an Australian Jazz Band!
    ...but just for a minute there...still.

    And no, neither of us are architects! :)

  8. [quote name='Tracer' post='392049' date='Jan 26 2009, 07:39 PM']Gah. That's pretty much the sound I've been aiming at for months now and I haven't been doing it half as well as that : )

    I really, really enjoyed it - nice work man.[/quote]
    Thank you very much ;)
    Much appreciated!

  11. [quote]* earlier on, I believe jazz-fusion was even referred to as 'kiddy-fiddling'; I used to be in a fusion band and would gladly do so again, and I also have kids... consequently I find this description fcking outrageous and far from playground or humorous. I don't think I'm being over sensitive. Take it back immediately.[/quote]
    That'll be BBC.
    Again.

  12. ...light blue touch paper, and stand well back...
    The reactions of some you so-called Jazz Sophisticates reveal you to be as insular and narrow-minded as you probably think I am.
    The truth is that "metal" encompasses many different styles, and within a lot of those styles there are individuals and bands who can very much be considered to be innovators, and who are very much better musicians than you or I will ever be; from the intensity of Napalm Death with Mick Harris developing the Blast Beat, to the precision of The Dillinger Escape Plan and the Mathcore genre, to Godflesh and Justin Broadrick pretty much defining industrial metal, not to mention Post-Rock innovators like Isis and Pelican.
    Then you have Steve Harris, Cliff Burton, and laugh if you will - Joey Demaio [sp] to name but three.
    Metal as it stands today is not about being 14 and having ripped jeans and being able to play Welcome To The Jungle - it covers a lot more than that, and yes it does encompass jazz to an extent - and many other things, it isn't just noise - even when it is noise.
    Now I'm sorry if I insulted the Jazz Club's Sacred Cow but try as might I simply don't get why you think he's so good. I'm open to persuasion and maybe the OPs choice of vid was a bad one but as it stands that's my opinion.

  13. [quote]Thought it was April 1st for a moment there...unbelievable ! and I'm not referring to Mr Frustrated Guitarist's playing , if you can call it that.....but hey each to his own.
    Completely agree with you. Man, that was... pathetic. Really. My first thought was that was one of those overdubbed fake "shred" videos but apparently it was real.

    I can see why some people can´t get into Jaco but I have no idea why anyone would dig Cliff Burton[/quote].
    You guys are funny - you sound so old.
    And I'm 37.
    Bless your cotton socks.

  14. Sorry - but it leaves me cold.
    Heretical as it may be it's just some aimless noodling - largely without any real point to it, it seems to me.
    To be honest he might as well be tuning up.
    Sorry but I just don't get it, and that's no diss on you guys that do.

    However...

  15. A long time ago I had an Axe bass - (you used to be able to buy them from the back of Kerrang for £99) - and in a fit of minor insanity used it to beat the cr4p out of both it and my amp.
    By the time I had finished the amp had several very big holes in it and the guitar was completely in pieces.
    Completely.
    I was left holding what remained of the headstock, with 2 or 3 strings attached and with blood pouring down my arm from where the ends of the frets had cut into my hand as I had been swinging the rapidly disintegrating neck with what was left of the guitar body over my head and into the amp.
    I managed to take out the amp, the guitar, my hand, several CDs, a door, and part of a wall - (well the plaster), and my Boss multi-pedals.
    I tend to put it down to "having a bad day".
    I went straight out the very next day and bought my Aria, on arriving back at my lodgings I ran up the stairs with it and promptly smacked the headstock on the ceiling, knocking out a large chunk of veneer and laquer - (or whatever) - from the headstock.
    Not to worry though, a permanent black marker pen effected a near invisible touch-up job! :)
