[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1331390238' post='1572248'] Wow, you must really hate yourself! [/quote] I've gone off Princess Diana a bit too

Hope you had a great gig mate!

Had a cracking gig last night! Deep thanks and appreciation to Happy Jack, Paul the Drums, and 51m0n for coming. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1331390100' post='1572241'] Would that be The Daily Mail? [/quote] A whole decade's worth.

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1331389598' post='1572220'] Always... it's a personality failing. I'd enjoy myself more and probably play better if I wasn't so self critical but there you are!! On the other hand a bit of humility is needed in order to progress. [/quote] It's the curse of the considered musician. I deeply care about my musicality and ability and am forever beating myself about the face with the rolled-up newspaper of self loathing. However it drives me to be a better musician, and I'm actually pretty good at what I do these days. So don't worry about it, it has its benefits.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1331304485' post='1571111'] They were downloading the lyrics... [/quote]

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1331302785' post='1571064'] Any pro chooses to use that and I'll eat my hat. [/quote] I doubt Rush arena concerts are their target market. Even though Rush's mixing area at Wembley had about ten people with laptops when I saw them a few years ago on the R30 tour. Also, remember when studios started getting computerised 20 years ago? Look at them now.

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1331302260' post='1571055'] Bloody hell, that looks expensive! [/quote] It probably will be. But a [b]good[/b] PA and mixer is pretty expensive anyway.

Go back to the Ibby, it clearly doesn't cause you any problems. I'll have the $$ off you

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1329485340' post='1543181'] Not quite what you intend I guess... But here's a previous band from one of my guitarist days: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS96OaRYZmw[/media] [/quote] HAHA! Mate, classic '80s style rock pop! I so sorry but I find the lyrics, erm, well ... But she's got a great commercial voice, and the band sounds great. You play guitar really well!

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1331232711' post='1570056'] I've had a couple of pints but no more. And that was in a 2+ hour period before the first set so i'd be 'sober' before starting. Once we're playing I stick to soft drinks to keep hydrated and remember the songs (90% successful ) [/quote] I'm pretty much the same, I'll nurse a couple of pints in the hours beforehand, and have another one on stage. I don't really feel much effect from it and can play properly.

I'm going to check out the above vids later when I get home. In the meantime, here is my bandleader, who makes me very proud to have the privilege of being her bassist .. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_KXHqrdTKk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_KXHqrdTKk[/url]

Henrik Linder (Dirty Loops) Interview in Bass Player this month.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1331220801' post='1569713'] Did you know Bag End is a literal translation of the French 'cul de sac'? Did you care? [/quote] Exactly, and it is properly pronounced 'Bazjh Onde'.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1331219207' post='1569673'] Sorry - didn't know that - when I had a subscription it was nick wells ? Clarity is always good - I read the terms (I'm a law graduate) and I thought that I was pretty much guaranteed to forget to cancel three months on, with such a tight time window if I wanted to do so , so a nag screen or an email would assist me [/quote] You're a law graduate? I am amazed then that you missed the small print, ie, Ben Cooper's signature

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1331218242' post='1569646'] What? 13, [b]Mingus [/b]Crescent Ipswich Suffolk. Bit long-winded, imo. [/quote] Pronounced [b]Minging [/b]I believe

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1331217855' post='1569633'] And getting back to the Germans, it's worth remembering that Hofner should have an umlaut over the 'o', and is therefore pronounced "Herrfner". Although quite what that does to [b]Motörhead [/b]I dread to think ... [/quote] Makes it Moterhead. I've always pronounced it like that anyway

Alleva Coppola ? Also Bag End, I always thought it was pronounced as you would Bilbo's street.

[quote name='razze06' timestamp='1331217568' post='1569622'] I thought Aguilar is pronounced Ah-ghee-lar, like it would be in spanish [/quote] +1

[quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1331213879' post='1569498'] As for how Macdaddy pronounces Shuker...... [/quote] I think Mac eats too many oysters

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1331217115' post='1569603'] I did look this up and note the subscription cancellation terms seem to need you to remember to cancel 24 hours after last sub ends or it automatically renews ? Unless you opt out of course. A couple of nag screens would be helpful perhaps ? Yes a sample would be good, I was a print subscriber once Are you in any way affiliated with them ? [/quote] He's the editor, mate

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1331154443' post='1568681'] [b]Lads, I think you need to look at this again[/b] - ok, so the OP isn't naming and shaming; but there's not many social clubs in Grunos, eh? In fact, I'm pretty sure there's only one on the estate. So just avoid that one, eh? [/quote] Or just avoid estates completely

Have a great gig mate! Sorry I can't be there, but as we both know, we are on stage at the same time in different parts of London! Enjoy Friday night

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1331145885' post='1568507'] So, this place has a bad reputation, you were verbally and physically abused, you were threatened with a stabbing in the eye, you received further abuse, you were intimidated on stage... You really should be naming this place. [/quote] You're right! I can't believe people have to go through that sh*t with these f***ed up individuals. There's naming and shaming about not getting properly paid at venues, or being pissed about in other ways, why not this?
