[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1472897475' post='3125147'] Rehearsals are an absolute nightmare; he's so blinkered, frustrating and unproductive, but by and large when we gig, generally he does seem to be able to pull things together, but again we're subject to the same ups/downs and lack of dynacism. Literally, just going through the numbers. MacDaddy saw us a couple of weeks ago...his opinion might be useful here if he's willing to chip in. [/quote] You rang? Yup MacWifey and I were at the gig mentioned in the OP. Didn't see the soundcheck with the other drummer, but enjoyed the gig. Didn't notice any drumming timing issues or cockups, none of the songs seemed to be too fast, or to be dragging. Is being late to gigs a regular thing? Its easy to say get rid of him, but drummers seem to be in short supply. Most drummers I know play in 2 or 3 bands.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1472773580' post='3124236'] Ah. Thanks. I've got Tube AIO, free from the App Store, I'll see if that works. [/quote] Nope, plug in failed to load, meaning no video is visible.

[quote name='barkin' timestamp='1472755458' post='3123989'] The Silk browser doesn't support Flash. I installed Dolphin browser, and installed Flash. Sorted You'll need to get the .apk's from elsewhere though - they're not in the Amazon app store. [/quote] Ah. Thanks. I've got Tube AIO, free from the App Store, I'll see if that works.

I guess it means you don't have to give anyone a lift...

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1472663674' post='3123076'] Well Geezer Butler I ain't. [/quote] Me neither. But most of the options for the answers were not what I would, so I chose the one which I would not do the least, as opposed to not doing the most. If you know what I mean

There was an EA iamp 800 for sale on here a while ago. Tiny!

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1472376019' post='3120598'] Does it come with a free pair of metallic purple spandex trousers and a single earring with a cross hanging off it ? [/quote] No need, already have. [size=4] [/size]

I'm using a Kindle Fire, and embedded YouTube videos (have always) take me to a blank page. :-(

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1472224797' post='3119634'] ABBA ...or more specifically I hadn't picked up a musical instrument at this point [/quote] Back in the day, and with innocent youthful awakenings, it was indeed 'the blonde one' most seemed to find attractive. However, with the benefit of age and wisdom, you realise the most attractive one, was actually the one with the beard.

Just a post to emphasize the importance of well fitting earplugs. If your ear plugs don't fit properly, then they are not doing their job properly. Ear canals can vary in size, and ear plugs come in different sizes. I use Elacin Frosted Greys, as the regular ER20s are too big for my ears and therefore very uncomfortable. I used the wax ones (mentioned in the OP) many years ago, but found them uncomfortable, and compromising the sound too much.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1472173585' post='3119180'] Happened to me last Friday night Les. I Sans Amped through the PA. Sucked Blue [/quote] But isn't that what they are made for?

Another one here for Iron Maiden. Also Twisted Sister. \m/ \m/ [size=4] [/size]

Bought some Elites from Paul. Yet another marvellous Basschat transaction. Happy to do business with Paul again.

Luis Cardenas version of Runaway. Which at the time was allegedly the most expensive music video ever made. Luis Cardenas also at one time held the world record for having the largest drum kit. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-GxYzbI4lg[/media]

How much is your bass worth to you? £150 for a Mono gig bag is money well spent, and roughly a tenth the cost of a Stingray? Yup I got one

Saw them at a biker rally a few years ago. Made sure to take some mates who were into Iron Maiden, after explaining they were one of Steve Harris's major influences.

Jon is experimenting with the stripes. He has started lacquering over them as of Friday, and says this may not be the finished thing but i reckon it looks pretty good!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1471619305' post='3114548'] A former band needed to borrow a guitarist from the other band we were playing with as ours had finally gone round the twist that afternoon and jumped in the canal. [/quote] A previous band of mine, once had to borrow a vocalist, as halfway through the set, the mother of ours took him to be committed to a mental health institution. We got the young chap who had been performing some of the hip hop previously, to freestyle over our (original) tunes. Surprisingly it worked quite well.
