  1. Hmmmm. So we condone violence now do we. So if was a normal guy fighting in a pub, would we say the same thing? If it was a guy fighting outside a pub would we say the same thing. A few months ago it seemed like half the people on BC were up in arms for someone taking photos or and videos at a gig. I don;t remember anything about that guy getting into a fight and arrested and going for detox.
    Yet here we are a few months on all raising a glass to an old rocker who should know better...fighting in a public place...oooo rock and rooolll.

    * Just curious, is it obvious that I take this business a little too seriously and have a bit of an attitude?

    TBH I think you do at times. But it is your love and passion in life so can be understood.

    yep they have been around since 80's mainly in the Glasgow area. Saw them last year supporting Pallas at Glasgow Classic Grand and thought they had come a long way since 80's music. Going aga
    in in Feb same gig, same venue.

    Is that 'Pallas' as in formally aka Rainbow?

    EDIT: Just looked....yes it is. I remember seeing them in the 70's in the Granada Bar in Peterhead. They sounded ace, but never got back because the bar manager didn't like the fact that the drummer took his t shirt off near the end of their set. Happy Days

  4. Not sure if this has been covered before. So....I was sitting listening to music on my MP3 thingy and got to wondering what perfect play list/set would be if I was the big boss of the band and I made all the calls...very selfish calls at that. For me I would like to play these in no particular order:

    Maggie May
    Angel wants to wear my red shoes
    Mystery dance
    Tommy Gun
    Lost in a supermarket
    too much too young
    gangsters
    Mardy bum
    Bet you look good on the dance floor
    Wonderful world (Joey Ramone)
    Blitzkrieg Bop
    Rockaway Beach
    Can't explain
    The Seeker
    West One
    Jah war
    Staring at the rude boys

    It might change next week lol

  5. Ooooooooooooo can of worms coming...I can feel it in my tubes.

    As I said above I thought in a live situation then I could really hear no different. Now that's not saying that the sound to my ears was the same because different amps will have different sounds/tones. Some are bright and cutting, others seem smoother. Saying that I suppose most of it can be dailled out. Another to remember about guitar amps is the 'killer cone or death ray cone' position etc.

    Modelling amps do the job well enough I think in the majority of situations. I said in the past on other forum that in the heat of a band situation when playing along with a singer belting it out and drummer battering away, I think most of the little things that make a valve amp special is lost in the mix. I will say that some amps are better at cutting it in the mix. I've heard that Blackstar amps struggle in the mix sometimes, but I've not witnessed that tbh.

    One amp that I had that I noticed a great sound that my line 6 didn't couldn't do was that decay break up sound.

    Very subjective view and I'm sure a few will have a lot to say on the subject.

  6. I had a Line6 Flextone and the 1x12 ext cab. Sounded for the most part very good. It was light and easy to move about etc..................then I got the valve bug FFS!!!!! heavy, delicate, etc etc all for charactor and a subtle tone which in truth was only noticalbe to me at home. Oh well...you pays yer money!

    Why do people have to slap all over sound demos of guitars or amps? I want to hear what it sounds like, not slapping. There seems to be a school of thought that if you don't slap, your no use!

    plus a lot of +'s for that post.

    Slap slap plink, zing slap, plink.

    Only done a lot faster then you read the line above this one.

  8. haha. I made a pedal board once. Out of MDF , all slanted and everything, sprayed in camo (what was I thinking). It weighed more than the 4 pedals on it. Gave up on pedalboard as such. Got a kind of gigbag board thingy with tuner, wah, J&H . All I need really. Even these 3 tend to drop in to the middle of the bag when I carry it over my shoulder. Not tried pedals with bass yet.
