So what? If you don't like the price, don't go. Why shouldn't musicians fully realise their actual value? The music has been rendered pretty much worthless, we expect one revenue stream to be largely nullified and then point the finger of shame if musicians try to make money a different way? If the experience is worth it to them, then they haven't been ripped off. It's not worth it to you, not worth it to me either but who's to say how others would value it in the context of their lives?

They're not really concerts, they're events and, as such, draw in vast quantities of people who wouldn't regularly attend music performances not in stadiums. They shouldn't be thought of in the same pricing category as regular concerts. Hence, super high demand and people prepared to pay a premium to be able to make duck-faced poses on their Insta with a band playing in the background, all living their best lives, singing the wrong words to Live Forever with their bezzies, you almost literally can't put a price on it. Anyone truly interested in the songs would have gone to see Liam play them in much smaller venues a few weeks ago. This is for people to check an empty box in their lives which says "I have seen Oasis!" They don't actually care about seeing Oasis, really, they just want to be able to say they have had the experience. I don't begrudge any band/brand exploiting their market worth in these circumstances. Besides, since almost everyone here says they can't stand Oasis, why the kerfuffle?

Bonehead is back and I hear Alan White is back too.

That's a fairly extreme EQ shape on the Ashdown, full on disco smile by the looks of it? Are you bypassing that or EQing on the bass and on the head?

There's a lot more to this than the recent offer and simply saying Marr is turning down money ignores a lot of the interaction between them since the breakup of The Smiths. They continually get offers and have been close to reuniting more than once, only for Morrissey to ghost Marr. The Joyce/Rourke lawsuit had them on opposing sides too and seemed to be the point where they really stopped getting along. If you don't need the money and you certainly don't need the ballache, why would you chase the first when you know the second is part of the package?

Send the earths to the sleeve.

Only Guigsy is real.

Thick indeed. Love him for the old stuff but the 21st century has been a bit of a car crash for him.

The solo, when it's present, should be a melodic/atonal addition which enhances the emotional impact of the song. Too often, however, it's just lads with no imagination cycling through variations of the five blues licks they know simply for the sake of it. Mostly filler, yeah, but there is some killer out there too.

Impressive. There are more people keen to express their dislike than you'd find in a Eurovision thread. Long live rock 'n' roll.

How do you EQ your amp? Is it too quiet if you bypass the EQ?

As mentioned above, it's a Jacaranda made in Italy.

DR Neons?

Is the pickup a digestive biscuit which was dunked just a little too long?

I wouldn't do it. If I'm not good enough or the right fit without botox then I won't be the right fit with it either.

By "many" I mean I didn't count but, from memory, I'd guess at least 60, probably more. There were 12 Ritters in the doorway, just to start off with 😂

I posted about him a little while back. Many of his basses are hanging on the walls in Zwick bar in Hamburg, too close to the junkies of Reeperbahn for comfort, including a large array of Ritters as you walk in the door all within touching distance. The wife and I were there in May. There are a few Alembics and other desirables further in along with plenty of spurious no-name and budget brand stuff. Worth a look all the same if you're in the city.

This should probably be the first single, the nephews love to sing along

Californication is where they went from red hot to lukewarm and have been getting cooler, in the bad way, ever since. I've picked up the CDs as they've come out as I'm an eternal optimist but, apart from the odd song or two, they've lost the danger and the sexiness, it's a stream of weak sauce. Shame. BSSM is, as has been said more than once, their peak and an undeniable classic.
