Well said, sir. Love a bit of microtonal King Gizzard.

He stated he wanted to destroy rock n roll circa 1976, long before any buttery buffoonery.

What killed Rock & Roll? Damned if I'm going to sit through half hour of some American chaps whining about its demise. I'm off to listen to some Turkish psychedelic folk rock. I hope I don't have to make a video about 'What killed Turkish psychedelic folk rock?' in the near future.

This is as mad as a box of frogs.

Fretboard is a real challenge but that's half the fun of having a go at it. Lovely sounding instrument.

But 30 (now 52) years of hurt never stopped me dreaming

I like hearing Three Lions. Means we're still in the World Cup. I hope I hear it bursting forth from televisions, radios and jukeboxes well into Sunday evening and most of Monday too.

A Merry Jingle by The Greedies. Has the added bonus of everyone already knowing the words 👍

Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division. Quite like the band and this is their shining glory, apparently. Not to my ears. Whenever it's played on the radio I lunge for the off switch.

I do try to avoid bad habits that could cause harm. There's plenty of info out there worth checking up on. Plenty of it being on here. Bravo, everyone! 👍

This is how i play. I use a pick and get around the fretboard just fine. Technique is a little slack as i'm self taught but i'm happy with what i'm doing and none of my many bandmates over the years have ever screamed at me that i've got it all wrong, and nor have any punters stormed out of any gigs tutting, "just what is he playing at?". What works, works. Just enjoy it! My wrists are just fine. As is my eyesight 😁

At the moment, the singer and the drummer. Weirdly, our guitarist is no problem 😐

We've tuned down half a step for a couple of years now and it's not an issue for either myself or the guitarist. Our singer reckons it helps him out as we play some screeching vocal stuff from the likes of Led Zep and AC/DC.

Who? WHO? I'LL TELL YOU WHO!!!!!! He's an utterly appalling waste of four minutes every time I've had the misfortune to hear one of his dirges on the radio. I am 47. I like some old music. I like some new music. Move along now.

Is he using a prick, sorry, pick?

We have a winner!

Anal Seepage is a band name in waiting. Any takers?

bloodypratchat.com doesn't seem to be working 😒

I shall be using this technique at our gig on Friday to play 'Blitzkrieg Bop'. It's what Dee Dee would've wanted.

I started this thread ages ago as a response to a couple of 'Isn't Jaco great' and 'Macca's the best, yes?' topics. Tongue firmly in cheek. I love The Sex Pistols and am saddened by what happened in the short time he had left following the bands' demise. I was only 8 when he died but I remember it being reported on the news as if it were yesterday. I had to ask my mum what heroin was. Poor old (young) Sid.

If you're playing in Europe, you probably need to know 'The Final Countdown'. Well, someone had to say it 😁

He could play rudimentary bass, bootlegs bear that out. I've no doubt that if he could've got off of the skag and settled down with domestic goddess-in-waiting Nancy Spungen we'd be mentioning his name alongside Jaco now. Probably 😵

Just sold for £102-99. Blimey, Charlie.....

So tempted 😁

Our posters usually have 'rock and pop classics' prominently on them. That should be clear enough. However, due to some fun and games this year from the singer, thinking of changing it to 'rock and pop classics sung by a moody bugger with a face like a smacked derrière who always shows up late and frequently forgets his harmonica' 😖
