  1. I did'nt like the look of headless before i played one.

    But as soon as i did all the rest just felt off balance to me. I'm borrowing a Bass of my mate on long term loan till i get cash together for a decent bass, and i still cant get used to how heavy the top end is.

    A headless for me is bang on, The body hangs on my thigh & the neck across my chest. exactley where i want it to be.

    I want another headless & i really hope it does not become fashonable, i love being an oddball

  2. yeh just been listening to this.....like that track.
    Cheer for that link it's playing in the background as i type this.

    Oh well i'll have to struggle through this one by ear (Have to admit i'm not the best at working things out by ear) but ya ....was hoping to cheat & find the tab for it.

  3. [quote name='mcgraham' post='312264' date='Oct 22 2008, 04:23 PM']Well, as it seems I've got to put a disclaimer on anything I say in this thread, so...

    Personally, I find that unless lyrics have some cohesiveness or a story I can reasonably follow more or less from start to finish, I tend to lose interest in the lyrics and pay attention to the underlying music. Unfortunately for me a lot of contemporary music, at least in Britain, is built on pretty poor lyrics, and the underlying music is not much better (again, IMO).

    So, I turned to more or less totally to instrumental music. Joe Satriani is a big personal favourite, Hiromi is also good, Laurence Cottle, Guthrie Govan, Brett Garsed, Charlie Hunter, Barber (particularly the Excursions) etc. I listen to a fair bit of jazz but if it sounds good I'll listen to it. Stuff with lyrics, some of you may cry 'hypocrit' but I like some of Van Halen's work, the Eagles (Wasted Time is a beautifully crafted song IMO), Dream Theater, Mr. Big. However, only certain songs of the artists with lyrics appeal to me.

    I'll look through my iPod and fish some out for you.

    DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion[/quote]

    Can i ask a quick question on this subject. although you can ignore the lyrics in the first place why complain about the lyrics?

    I only ask because i love writing lyrics & i have a strong belief that not everything Has to be a master peice thats all

  4. Hi this is a long shot as it's driving me bonkers.

    I love a band called Hybrid (Progressive Breaks) who did an album called "Morning Sci-fi" which featured Peter Hooks Bass playing.
    Anyway on a track called "True to Form" [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cqR9XljU-RI"]Hybrid live [/url] He plays a bass line that i absolutley love (the Peter Hook Line comes in at 3:23) if you want to have a look.

    Now i'm pretty sure this is a New Order Bass line as i recognise it, but i'm going mad as to what the line is from origionally.
    I love the peice but & i keep checking out all the various forums but cant find where it's from origionally.

    Can someone who is vastly more cleverer than me help?

    If so i will remote praise you from where i am.

  5. I totally agree with most of this thread.

    But the style of this music & the attitude that if you are not religious you are not "Good" is beyond me. i never enter a church or worship but i'm a nice person & go out of my way to help others. just because i dont go to church that does'nt give anyone the right religious or not to judge me......i remember theres something about casting stones in the big book i once heard someone quote to me.
    Now thats my views on religion, basic but i see the world as a big place & it's got plenty of room for everyone.

    Now for the music:
    If someone wrote a song about his girlfriend & went on for another 12 more songs & all of them basically said "I love my girlfriend, she's lovley & i love her" things would get pretty dull after a while. this is what i really dont get about religious songs. they all say very simular things.

    What i find almost comical is in Leeds theres "Peoples FM" its a raggae radio station, i usually listen to it just for a change & they are constantly singing about God, Jesus & Jah. It's the most relgious thing i have ever heard.

    I find religion very confusing & i find it strange that there is a specific kind of music for religious people.
    But then again i find the world very confusing at times
