Aw... I was looking forward to his opinion on flatwounds and facemasks.

Neil Peart!

Obviously he couldn't have known, so it's hardly his fault, but Elvis Costello claimed "...when they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down". Unfortunately for the accuracy of his lyrics, Thatcher was cremated.

I sat through a set of Nik Kershaw, an acoustic guitar and a looper at a festival a few years ago. I'd happily do so again, he was excellent.

Pretty much anything with a Yamaha badge on it. Bass, guitar, brass, drums, keys, tech. The price range is almost irrelevant, you always seem to get quality beyond the price you pay.

'I've got a ticket to the moon'... Oh really Mr Lynne?.... in 1981?.... Bullsh!tter!

'It's a long way to Tipperary'. I resent the assumption that I'm not in Limerick, Shannon, Mitchelstown or Bruff. A more factual approach would have been 'It may or may not be a long way to Tipperary, depending on your current location'. Maybe a little less catchy though?

I'm getting flavours of groovy lounge act... Sits very well with my Doom Metal background... Obviously.🤣

Lol. Reminds me of the classic Sunday papers tat shtick!

Thanks!🤣 *Rushes off to find a frame*

Huzzah!🤘 Thanks a lot... Must have been the first time I've used a pick in 10 years, as the timing tells quite clearly! Listening to the other entries, by comparison mine sounds quite homemade in terms of production, Not so much of a problem with this kind of tune, but something I'd like to look into and learn more about, either that of I'll have to go for dumb and punky every month. 😂 Off to my Flickr now, I'll have a pic to @lurksalot asap.

Boston's 'More than a feeling', starts out badly... I looked out this morning and the sun was gone... Hmmmm, no?! If that were the case, this would imply that this occurred after the 8 minutes or so that we'd still receive the light from the sun after it had disappeared. If this was actually the case, rather than putting on some music to start his day, it's more likely that he would be trying to deal with the effects of the change in gravity, cowering in the wake of relentless earthquakes and tsunamis, and desperately to stay warm as the earth cooled rapidly as it plunged off into space.

'Anything you want, you got it'.... Oh, really... where's my Fodera?

There is not a 'kind of hush all over the world'.

I would suggest that Nat King Cole would have been more accurate if he'd sung 'When I fall in love, it will be until you turn into a perma-grumpy, nagging harpy'. Similarly, in Natalie Cole's cover of her Dad's hit, 'When I fall in love, it will be until you become a lazy, inattentive sh!t', would have been more factually correct.

Though I have no real proof, I strongly suspect it was actually raining water, as opposed to Men.

It could have been totally legit. For eBay I'd probably give it a miss, but on here, having only good experiences, personally I'd have taken the buyers feedback as a reference. I'm not really shopping at the moment, but if one of the couple of higher value things I've promised myself came up it's a request I might make myself. I usually do bank transfer, but had an email from PP Credit a couple of weeks ago offering 0% for 12 months. That's probably something I'd take advantage of if possible, their usual thing is 4 months interest free, so it's a decent promotion. Of course I'd understand if the buyer didn't want to risk it though.

Lol. Take a guess.... Maybe the offender also had to contact you last month cos they'd fluffed up. i mean... What kind of idiot...? 🤣

The last 45 minutes of Freebird?

My contribution to the June 2020 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by last month's winner, Leonard Smalls. The picture asked me for a dumb, rough, punky, sub 3 minute romp.... so that's what I did. Lyrically, I suspect the guys in the pic were a welcome sideshow, looking at the band, but I've drawn on my years at bike events, where there was often a bunch of chubby, beardy, middle aged attention whores, often in tutus and fairy wings, being 'hilarious' and 'wild', because they're' soooo crazy' and 'don't care what anybody thinks' (except they do, obvs)... Getting in the way of people who actually want to watch the entertainment they've paid for. A novelty at first, but irritation after the first few times. All recorded in Cubase Elephants, with bass and guitar through the Helix. Drums courtesy of the Mrs, and Roland. **** Not totally worksafe, verse 1 contains a single, mid-scale profanity (Tw@t) ***

Maybe a bit modern, and with a slight rocky bias, but I love Bob Fridzema's keys on the King King Live album.

Metallic..... That was the word I was looking for.... 'Effecty'.... 🤣

I bought it on spec off a mate who was having a clearout, without seeing any reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. Tracking is good, and while in isolation the effects themselves could sound a little 'effecty' (if that makes any sense?), in a room, with a band, they sit really well.

I have their Critical Mass pedal. Kind of a rock biased variation of the others. It has doubling, octaves and gang vocal stuff, along with the same reverbs as the others. I was surprised how good it is, makes me sound much less stinky poo.
