Interviewer: Do you ever mess around with a 5-string? Steve Harris: Nah, that’s one too many, haha. In my opinion a bass player does not need five strings or more. But everyone to their own. If someone feels extra special by having more strings, that’s fine. But it’s not my cup of tea. Interviewer: Well I like to play seven-string guitars and my theory is: if I break a string I’ve still got six. Steve Harris: Well, there you go!

I listened to Anthrax since late 80,s early 90's. Best trash band IMHO. Frank seems like a nice bloke but so fo others in band. Shame I haven't seen the live.

I don't watch or talk football with the exception of WC 2018. When it comes to playing bass I never practice. I've been playing more guitar recently.

Thanks gor that Si. Checked mine it is 9.7.6. Will probably upgrade as 8 tracks is not enough. All works fine

Decided to get Novation launchkey 49 mk2 which arrived today. I have connected it and it reacts. Need to set it up. @Sibob I do have ableton live 9 lite already, so I don`t think I need to install the one that came with launchkey. I am, however struggling updating existing ableton l9l. When I click to check for updates in ableton live, there never seem to be update. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks

I had a bit of time to listen to first 15 mins and to honestly say I had a smile on my face. Looking forward to listen to the rest. How do we know when the next one is on?

surely a microfiber car wash sponge does the same job?

I want to be heard not muted. Surely a diy gadget can be used for a fraction of the price.

Voted. Great composition as always.

is there a link to BC podcast?

As a Maiden fan I don't think I would be bothered with Steve's moves etc I'd rather play the songs to myself at home.

I've always wanted a Gibson Les Paul but the models I like seem to be well overpriced. I own an Epiphone made in Korean factory and can't fault it. I think the issue is that there are competitive priced models available on the market like Harley Benton and Chinese fakes like Chibson. Also a cheap bad playing and bad sounding guitar can be moded saving hundreds of pounds. Often the guitar reviewed on You Tube are heavily processed. Who can justify spending thousands on a Gibson if for the same money you could get a guitar, laptop, DAW, software and speakers/ headphones and you're set up. For a live situation a full guitar gig gear without draining your bank account. Nevertheless I'd like a flame top G.

I don't even get chance to eat. Can't believe people get paid for playing with nerf guns.

Playing guitar at work? What a luxury!

Fingers except trash metal songs I have started experimenting with using plectrum as it seems to cut through and sit in the mix nicely. But for me is mostly.... dang da da dang da da dang da da.... I was able to do triplets before I started playing bass.

Unfortunately staff just follow the company's policies. It's an derrière covering exercise. It's OK for them to be overzealous when not accepting id such as utility bill and expired passport. But it's also acceptable to leave a post/parcel outside ( in the rain) the house then mark up tracking: Your parcel has been delivered and handed over to recipient'.

Will likely miss this month due busy schedule. Every time I listen to entries it makes me think. So many great composers here on BC; none of that modern music nonsense in pop industry ( I mentioned then removed someone' s name, probably best to). Well done everyone.....and watch out for Mornats and dad.😁

Well done @Mornats great master piece there. and Thanks every one voting for my late entry too.😊

Of course he will say that but the statement is subjective. Did The Who peaked in 1971 and is rock music a general term for other music genres where the guitars, bass and drums are the staple instruments? Now me being biased. How about Iron Maiden ( new wave of British heavy metal). They peaked in 1984-1985 during the World Slavery Tour. Still going strong 34 years later with sold out venues. I don't think we can say when rock music generally peaked. Bands yes. There since have been different genres of rock music.
