Yeh, but you can just pull someone out of a hat, we can’t all do that 😀😀😀 Sh*te, Ambient beat me to that one.

How the hell does the bassist play like that while dancing around all the time, was it possibly not live?

I appreciate that your guitarist sorted out the replacement band but paying them an extra £100 was a bit silly, especially when the rest of you guys are having to stump up the money. I personally would have tried to get a dep drummer (as he did), if no joy I would have contacted the venue to explain that due to illness we would not be playing. It works both ways, if the venue say had a water leak just prior to the gig, they would drop the band without any hesitation or payment.

Thanks for the tip. Just saved saved £22 on some parts for my motorcycle with one minute to go.

He may hate it but it’s made him plenty of money. I would certainly place that song above anything he is currently putting out, loads of Zep purists must be cringing at his recent projects.

Nothing wrong with the Heart version, I consider Ann Wilson to be of the top female vocalists around, this type of stuff is effortless for her vocal range, makes it look easy, which it ain’t.

We had this happen to our only two gigs booked in November, both double booked and we lost out. It amazes me that pub landlords/owners cannot even manage a simple diary at times, very frustrating. I made it clear to both of them that we would not be playing either of their venues in 2018.

I personally struggle with open strings when they are part of a repetitive riff - Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi springs to mind.

Have you looked at a Peugeot RCZ, my wife had the 2 litre diesel top spec one, reasonably quick and economical. It has a large boot for a 2+2 and you can also drop the "rear seats" , you would have no problem getting some bass gear in it.

Five of them in our current set.

What's a roadie ?

Hi , I think you may have misread the thread, we are not really discussing the gear, we are talking about car insurance, not what you are carrying inside of it. I would assume most of us would know that the gear would either require a separate insurance or be listed as high value specified items on your home insurance, which are usually covered in the home and away from the home.

They still haven't got the naked gyrating girl on stage with them are they? Blimey, she would be about 70 now ???

Had the band rehearsal tonight and asked the other three guys and none of them mention to their car insurers that they play in bands, they all found it rather odd that I asked the question.

After a few years and the kids left, we decided to downsize to a 4 x 10 ???

I used to live inside a Trace Elliot 8 x 10 cab ???

I have a rehearsal tomorrow evening with the band, I will ask the other three guys if they mention it to their car insurers and I will report back.

I cannot understand what the type of people in a venue effect my car insurance, the only thing I can think of is if my car is parked outside and some p*sshead decides to vandalise it, but that could also happen to any of the punters cars. Car drivers go to football matches every weekend and there are definitely intoxicated and generally excited people in attendance at those venues, so the risk is just as great.

Yeh, like the guys who remove or cover up their number plates when doing track days.?

I'll lack common sense then, what I do in my spare time has nothing to do with them, it's a hobby and not a job. If I was playing full time it would be daft not to mention it, but I don't. It would be really interesting to have a poll on this forum (excluding the pro players) who mention this fact to their vehicle insurers, I recon it's not that many.

I never mention it, it's not an occupation, it's a hobby.

This goes to show how off the scene I am with the latest bands etc, I have purchased nothing new that was released during this current year, I also do not recognise any of the bands/artists excluding King Crimson and U2 that have been listed on this thread so far.

Band TBA Seen them playing at loads of venues, must be very popular ?

I was one of those Mods. Lambretta TV200, Parka, Ben Sherman, Desert Boots. First full time job £9 a week, living at home , into Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, Cream etc? Happy days and not a care in the world.
