One man's heartfelt tribute is another man's fingernails-down-the-chalkboard. Such are the differences. I get that someone wants to play along to their departed idol as a reminder of their greatness, but I'm not sure what is achieved by uploading it to Farcebook other than 'look at me'. I don't argue with anyone's right to do that though. Folks vary...

Sensible Shoes - David Lee Roth

Murders In The Rue Morgue - Iron Maiden

Ashes of the Wake - Lamb Of God

Silent Lucidity - Queensryche

Always. I have found that as I have got older I have become more open-minded...

These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (Nancy Sinatra)

Wait For Sleep - Dream Theater

We're OK with it because we're set up, warmed up and got a jam going by the time she arrives. But then, we're not as anal about it as other bands may be. It's our call and nobody else's.

Dancing In The Moonlight (Thin Lizzy)

On A Storyteller's Night (Magnum)

The Enemy Within (Rush)

Radio GaGa (Queen) Hate that song, but then...

I wouldn't write them off because they were late once. Sh!t happens. If they're regularly late, then yeah.... Can you live with a bit a lateness if the material/musicianship/personalities are good? Our singer always turns up at least 40 minute after the rest of us, but by then we've had a jam and often got some ideas cooking. Or would you rather play with a bunch of punctual idiots with crap songs? 😝 Personally I'd give it another go and take it from there - problems tend to rear their heads fairly early. You'll know soon, I reckon...

Smokin' In The Boys Room - (Motley Crue)

Down in a Hole (Alice In Chains)

Captain Clock (Jinjer)

I work in aerospace supply chain, so I'm probably going to get the bullet soon. There are already 80 redundancies on the way - about a third of the factory's permanent workforce. I'll take whatever job is available after that. I'm in West Cornwall and jobs are in short supply. The good news is that if I do get made redundant I'll have enough wonga to pay off my mortgage with a few grand left over.

Stingray?

Stink Foot (Frank Zappa)

The Count Of Tuscany (Dream Theater)
