Well, the reason I started playing in the band aeons ago ( I'm not in a band anymore) was me constantly tapping with hands and feet to music, metal genre that is. So they asked me to join a band that neither of us had any instruments and no ability to play an instrument. My addiction to Maiden made it clear I'm a bass player. So never played drums in a band ,only on occasional practising sessions and during sound checks. This week , fast forward 30 plus years I bought my first drum kit, none of that electronic nonsense ( sure they sound great), the proper old school drum kit. Eventually , I'd like to give ez drummer some rest and play all instruments in songs I record myself.

Voted, no time for me this month to enter

I never gave The Oasis another go because I never liked them. Annihilator, my mate used to listen to them in late 80' early 90's. Then I saw them live at Koko recently ish.....amazing

Is it for sale?

Adrian Smith Dave Murray Gary Moore Jeff Waters Steve Vai Jimmy Hendrix and a friend of mine

I have watched this few times on YT over and over in the past. Amazing

In early days he used to carry maggots on a tour bus

I would recommend reading his autobiography Monsters of River and Rock. Lots of early days guitar, angling and other material. I love his first Asap , silver and gold. Singing is very unique. Also palying on Bruce Dickinson's solo albums guitar work with Roy Z is too work.

... and justice for all, virtually no bass, thanks Lars. This enhanced bass version is worth a listen. Incredible bass tone and playing.

Pit Band II Arm Pit

Not recently, but 6 years ago I ordered an olympic white bass with black pickguard. They set me up with a black bass with black pickguard.

I'm a bass player predominantly, well I used to be back in days. Now I own more guitars than basses. I don't play in any band. I don't smoke or hand my money to pub landlords, so technically I invest.

Silver and Gold- ASAP ( Adrian Smith and project)

I have seen a UPS driver before outside our and neighbour's house looking confused. The street is clearly marked so are the houses. He had a parcel in his hand ,he then took a picture of the neighbour's house and left. I came out in attempt to ask if he was looking for and address, as I opened the door he's gone. Neither me or my neighbour expected a delivery that day. Royal mail is no different, I waited all morning for a parcel, they put a note through the door without ringing the bell or knocking the door. I phoned their head office as soon as Pat was driving off. They delivered......the following day. Back to Thomann topic, I bought stuff from them on a couple of occasion and the delivery and service was just like clockwork. Shame as they have now probably lost UK customer base.

I have been eyeing up an instrument at Thomann that would save me £60 or more in comparison to UK prices. BUT looking at this thread, I'd be spending hours on the phone, paying extra for custom clearance and so on. So not really worth the hassle.

I have never been disappointed to see Maiden. About two years ago I went to see Testament at Koko in Camden. Annihilator and some other band were opening for them. I was a bit disappointed with Testament, the bass player had some technical issues and was making it obvious. Well at least I noticed. But Annihilator was just amazing , so underrated and Jeff Waters is one of the most committed musicians. I used to listen to them in my early teens then somehow I have forgotten about them. The bass player is awesome, his playing and stage presentation combined is something other players lack. Think he is from Cambridge. I was slightly disappointed (not really) with Steve Vai when he blew his amp during a gig🤟 to this day I'm not sure if it was part of the show as I never bothered googling it.

I didn't go and see my least favourite artist Oasis because I knew I'd be disappointed

Perhaps a tuk tuk

I only did home recording. SM57 1 meter away off the speaker, just off the centre cone. Amp was set loud. Great result
