[quote name='Groove Harder' timestamp='1415094513' post='2596515'] I believe that his Mother was Polish and pronounced 'Gary' as 'Geddy'. Could be be wrong though. [/quote] Correct. She couldn't pronounce Gary. Also Lifeson is a literal translation of Zivojinovich which is Alex's real Serbian name.

It influenced my hair style, dunno about anything else

I had a listen to them all last night. Amazing! I haven't voted yet, I can't decide between them at the moment, I dig em all!

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1414873125' post='2594302'] Not digging Paul Rodgers is cool, but saying he's a 'crooning bastard' just because he's been round the block a couple of times is unclassy. [/quote] Touché

And may I add, if you want to hear where that amp shootout bassline came from, head over to the BC (re)mixing challenge and you'll hear BCers' remixes of the original song by the band I'm in, London Zulu. Then you'll really hear how out of time I played it If you're interested, the bass you heard going through the rigs was recorded to Logic 9 direct from a POD X3 LIVE, the patch was a modelled Acoustic 360, generic 1x18 cab with a U47 room mic, a touch of reverb and compression. Bass was a 1983 Fender USA Standard Jazz with a maple board, neck pickup only, tone and volume full up.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1414868179' post='2594224'] Typical! A Bass Players conference and the blinking Drummist is center stage! [/quote]

It was a lovely Bash! Thanks Nik and Colin for organising it. Dig those Traces into the 2x12 Barefaced! Great catching up with you lot x

I'm going to be late, some sh*t just came up. I don't think I'll be bringing anything now either, most of it's at the Bass Gallery having work done. See you there!

[quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1414768624' post='2593154'] I'm embarrassed to say I started with the intention of listening to the entire piece - but had to skip to the last minute. Can't listen to that, even if the bass is promising. Nice to have the bass at the outro - but can't compensate for that vocal. Not what I'd call good by any definition. [/quote] What do you want? Some old crooning bastard like Paul Rogers on it or summat? Not digging it is cool but saying it's crap because you can't understand it is unclassy. I wasn't that keen on the solo to be honest, I liked the tune though.

For me music has always been about escape. There's great big place for political music, and I like a lot of it. Some of the protest musicians even know what the f*** they are talking about. But I love the escape trajectory I get from music. Music should not just be about angst, it should also be about celebration.

How exciting! Really looking forward to hearing the finished articles!

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1414686956' post='2592272'] I remember hearing Roger Daltrey defend Mcfly a few years back, saying something like the Who where a teeny bopper band when they started. He had it in for Disco, and now 1D, but as Mick Jagger said, theres always been pretty boys with nice haircuts, its not new, just perhaps more dominant that it was, the charts used to be vary varied. Just for the record, I like McFly [/quote] Haha, I wonder why he was defending McFly .. (I agree, McFly were good) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a447s6IfJ5Q

Listening now mate. Amazing sounds, and it does NOT sound in anyway weird or random to me. It's got a wicked feel to it, you can hear that there's a very musical, storytelling mind behind it, it's got a very strong aesthetic. Loving it so far.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1414513700' post='2590086'] Joe Pasquale speaks very highly of him.... [/quote] Gonna use that one!

I think old Rog is talking total bollocks myself.

Lovely that you're doing these reviews, Dad

Yeah it was excellent. I don't really dig the Foo's music, but I have great admiration for them as a band, and for Dave Grohl. They epitomise everything good about music and being in a band, with a very deep and genuine adoration of rock music and its history. He's a great ambassador, and one of the few torchbearers for good old honest rock music.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1414389388' post='2588766'] Out now! The best value for £2.37 you can possibly get! [/quote] Wickid! I'll have that later today.

I'm in shock.

Just heard this fabulous news!
