Supported local heroes, The Owls, for a St Andrew’s (St SkAndrews) night do, which was sold out, despite being £20 a ticket. 3 band line up and we were on first. Turned up early so we could get a proper sound check, man alive the big ass PA was über loud! We played well and folk were up dancing almost straight away, not bad for a 7:30 start. The one problem we had was the other 3 in the band decided to play Substitute, whilst I was playing I Can’t Explain; you can’t get the staff . Great comments from everyone and looks like we’ll get some work off of the back of it. My gear? JMJ Mustang through my M87 comp and VTDI, into the top act’s, bass player’s TC head into Ampeg 4x10, which was unnecessary really, as the sound I was hearing was all from the monitors.

Steven Wilson summed it nicely with the intro to To The Bone, “Once we've made sense of our world, we wanna go f*** up everybody else's, because his or her truth doesn't match mine”.

Less Than Zero -Elvis C

That'll work I reckon. Who's to say any different? Oh yeah, anoraks. However, the last bass player used a Ric, that's even further off of the mark.

^^^^ 100% this. What works for one doesn’t necessarily work for another. When considering playability, weight plays heavily (no pun intended) into my consideration, it doesn’t bothers others. They’re not wrong and neither am I. I think that we all consider playability, sound and looks when looking at an instrument, but not necessarily in the same order, or with the same importance. Ultimately, you do you, I’ll do me.

Broken Man - Paul Young

Made principally from paper IIRC. I had an ebanol board on an Ibanez GWB fretless, perfectly sound, although it can mark up and go a little grey. A fretted instrument might be different.

Don’t Bogart That Joint - Little Feat

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - The Platters

King of Pain - The Police

That's a great result!

Someone’s being greedy. It’s the problem with the multiple choice option, you can’t limit it. The photo comp (November voting currently open #shamelessplug ) tends to have the reverse, with folk not using all of their allocation.

There is, I saw it the sparkly thread the other day:

Emergency - 999

Sleep That Burns - BeBop Deluxe

Love Over Gold - Dire Straits

There is this in the FS section. I don’t know if it’s the same as the one mentioned above, but a PM would verify.

Love Porsche Number 9 - The Searchers

Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry

I really needed more votes, it was a very close call.

Into The Valley - The Skids

My favourite JE track by miles. I was shocked when I heard it in isolation, but it’s not meant to be heard that way, it’s part of the track, albeit, apart from the vocals, the main part of the track.

The Load Out - Jackson Browne

Rock The Clashbah - The Clash

Sweets For My Sweet - The Searchers
