I think by 'killed hair metal' I think they mean on TV, which was true. Not that I would consider Iron Maident, Metallica, Alice Cooper or Aerosmith as hair metal, I think they are reffering to poison, dokken and maybe even motley crue, although killed is a strange term as most of those bands are still going (in cases as dokken and Motley Crue, unfortunately).

I have some white ones that came from aliexpress, look pretty well like this (but white) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000266060708.html and they work fine, have used them in a lot of practices, but I am probably not the person to ask anyway as under normal circumstances I gig with the smoothhound and never had problems with them

The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash - Now Sunday 19th September 2021
Woodinblack replied to scrumpymike's topic in Events
In the calendar now! -
Nice collection of isolated original basslines
Woodinblack replied to cetera's topic in General Discussion
Some are actual tracks and some are from different recordings. I have Spleeter though which can isolate tracks, although obviously not as clean as the original recording, so I think I need to isolate the album track and see how close it is. - edit Ran it through spleeter, it was a different version as the version I was using was a lot longer, but no, if that is a different bassplayer on the isolated recording he is spot on the style of the Mr Illsley -

Oh dissapointing, I have played money for nothing for many years, no problem. listened to the isolated bass line, absolutely nothing like I play. Back to the drawing board! -
Items Wanted - Why is there no bump option?
Woodinblack replied to thebrig's topic in General Discussion
Its something I just noticed, since I was administrator I get the bump option but i am pretty sure you don't see it otherwise (and obviously as admin you get bump on everything so that isn't ideal!), so I assume it is a group feature. I will have a look tonight and see if I can enable it on the wanted forum -
Singers who don't understand how music works
Woodinblack replied to Nail Soup's topic in General Discussion
I saw a video with Paul Gilbert who said when he was learning and younger he spent a year playing everything to a metronome. My first piano teacher would make me play quite a few things to a metronome. I think that is why I get so disproportionaly angry about how bad peoples timing is! -
Why is my typing getting re formatted to something i don’t want?
Woodinblack replied to dave_bass5's question in Site Issues and Questions
Inter. Tried it with a few other type faces, none of them did that. -

Woodinblack replied to dave_bass5's question in Site Issues and Questions
No, it isn't. I downloaded the font and tried it in textedit on my mac. You type 2x2 and it looks like it does here. In this case the underlying software is making no desisions about that at all and as a result there is nothing the underlying software could do about it if the user didn't want that behaviour and that is plain dumb. It shouldn't be down to the font to make those sort of desicions, whether it is what you want or not, it is still stupid. -

Woodinblack replied to dave_bass5's question in Site Issues and Questions
Its not the website, it is the font. Which is crazy really - I guess this is because it is a google font, but it shouldn't be the job of a font to decide whether to change the baseline of a character, it should be the job of the software putting that font somewhere. OK, in this case I don't mind what it is doing, but it seems very bad that it does it! -

Surely the real question there is where can you get those trousers! -
Cars with boot big enough for small cab and bass

My grandparents had a fiat 800 camper van when I was a kid. We used to have to get out if we were going up hill! -
Our singer wont have the quiet bits, and he does announce the songs, even if sometimes it is not the best description and other times just plain wrong (Although who could argue with, "This is one by the stones, its about painting stuff black") Maybe not just the song, but she was a hell of a frontwoman!
-
So we do have something to thank them for after all!

What are you listening to right now?
Woodinblack replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
TBH, I can't think how a band that had that many members all doing different songs would have any trouble with that! -

The beatles did shake and vac? Now my respect for them has gone up!
-
Because I would pay to go and see someone like steve wilson play his songs live, but while I could appreciate someone doing a good version of the shake and vac advert, I wouldn't pay any money for it.
-
So to put it in another way, if you walked into a shop where everything was free and you could have anything you want but never sell it so there were no value or financial concerns at all in play, would you not pick the 202x over the 102x?
-
Not really interested in seeing some cover band do something exactly as the original, got a jukebox for that - I want to hear an interpretation. We tend to ska a lot of things up, but anyone who does their own interpretation is worth listening to. Our singer has no problem with the talking to people before and after the show, in fact even during its kind of hard to stop him, he is not a man for staying on stage!

I have read that there are some issues with stripe being loaded, as it extends to beyond payments, and it causes a conflict with the security and cache in some browsers. Might be worth a clear of a cache in firefox to see if that helps.

I only took a couple of pictures, then it was food time, then went to go and take more and found myself in the cab shootout! Its fair to say I didn't do much after the food! -
