I had never heard this version. I love it. Its much more tortured and hopeless.

They are great and have done tons of songs on Youtube. The guy is a musician and he clearly is bringing his kids up properly.

It used to be called Oban Divers and was owned by Dave Tye who used to ride for BSA before he was crippled in a diving accident. I believe it is called Puffin Dive Centre now mate.

When I was a kid all I ever wanted to do was be a commercial diver. I got a job in a dive centre and was aiming to get on a course at the dive school. Then I got into the band, drink, drugs and girls. I stupidly thought we could make a living out of playing. I never went for any chances I had as I didn't want to leave the band. Now I'm middle aged, I realise youth is wasted on the young.

I was lucky enough to see INXS live a couple of times. They were a fantastic band and great to watch live. Michael Hutchence was the epitome of a rock frontman. He had it all.

I have a Gibson Les Paul bass. As far as I know its pretty much the same as the Thunderbird apart from looks. It certainly is a lovely sounding bass.

In answer to the o.p........VERY!

This topic raises its head regularly. Slapping is a technique the same as any other technique. It fits in certain songs. When it's thrown in needlessly it can become boring. This is an example of slap suiting the song perfectly and done tastefully without over doing it. This is my humble opinion.

I am the singer in our band and I find that my throat tightens sometimes and I struggle to hit the higher notes after a while. I know its a poor solution but I always found a few pints of lager would loosen my throat and I could sing all night. It used to be a fine line because as I am also the bass player I didn't want to get too drunk to play. I do not condone drinking as a solution to singing problems but I found it worked for me. Possibly it was a placebo for stage fright as nerves would definitely tighten my throat.

As one who has left gear in cars loads of times as well as stacked at the back of pubs to be picked up in a couple of days or even on some occasions left all week as we were playing next weekend, I feel your pain. I was extremely lucky in that I never had anything lifted, but it would break my heart and I would have had no one to blame but myself. glad you got it back. I had to edit as I hadn't read all the replies.

I have to admit I hate most songs with singers singing in their regional accents. It just annoys me most of the time.

Quite the opposite. I find gigs that go on too long are annoying. Years ago we went to see the Georgia Sattelites playing at the Glasgow Barras. It went on for about three hours. Great value but even for a mid twenties aged Self it was hard going to stand for that long I enjoyed the start but eventually was thinking just get off, we’ve had enough.

He was head and shoulders above his contemporaries

That solo is a work of art and fits the song perfectly. Short but oh so good!

Some people think I’m a nice guy and there are some that think I’m a nasty pasty. It’s all down to personal opinions.

Every now and then someone dies that I have never met but it moves me to sadness. This is one such occasion. A true legend has left us.

And is just about the coolest guy on the planet. Not only good looking and an actor. He plays bass and jams with big name rock stars. Is an animal rights activist. Is devoted to his family and has a good sense of humour.

Well if you think having a head like a burst couch is the way to a girls heart fair play to ya. Most young ladies I have had the pleasure of knowing like a man to be turned out nice like. Plus it was clearly a joke. Which seems to have gone right over some folks heads

Exactly. A short back and sides and it COULD have been the guitarist.

That’s a new one on me. Strings usually break at stress points. Bridge or tuning peg.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. She’s pretty tidy and he looks like something out of the hair bear bunch!

Yeah, but don’t you find it funny that older people are into hard rock and punk and younger ones are saying what a racket?

Shazam is the new music lovers best friend. Some tv shows have awesome scores and we have found lots of great new music from this. We have also found lots of older music that we hadn’t heard before. YouTube is another great way to discover new music if you follow the suggestions.

Have you seen the way she dresses in general? No jeans and t shirts for her.

I love Volbeat. Which song do you do?
