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.

Never been to a Wedding or your Aunties 50th Wedding Anniversary ? ?

So does The Birdy Song ?

Have you listened to the Chicago version, I personally think it's better.

Not on this planet, it will most probably be wasted by then.

Same here, the band would not exist without me doing it.

Love rears its ugly head - Living Colour

The drummer in our Free tribute band was Jeff Rich ex Status Quo. Many years ago I played in a classic rock covers band, we used to play a pub in Somersham and on a couple of occasions Dave Greenfield (The Stranglers) came in to watch us play and chatted to us while we were packing away at the end of the gigs.

Oh no, bit like songs from the shows, I'll take The Police anytime over this. I love some of his solo stuff, the one recorded at the villa in Italy around the time of 9/11 has some superb musicianship.

+1 regarding Walk this Way, the only rap recording I actually like.

A drummer 90 miles away and doesn't drive - it will never work. You now have the singer with issues, this person also picks up the drummer, every time you have a singer issue it will effect two members of the band.

Kanye West - that's what he thinks !!!!

Don't look good, personally I would be looking for another band. Very frustrating and it has been mentioned on other threads, a fair share of musicians are not the most reliable of people.

I know, please drop me a line at - Number 1 Portmerion Wales

Free Allman Brothers Doobie Brothers

Why go out and play on NYE and enjoy yourself when you could stay in and watch Jools Hollands NYE show ???

Another stupid craze that that originated in the USA.

A pint of cider and four diet cokes cost about £12 to £13 around our way, times that by four band members and it's well worth negotiating that as part of the gig deal.

My usual for a night is one pint of cider then it's diet cokes for the rest of the evening. All of our band drive and none of us would be stupid enough to drink and drive.
