Indeed, and if there was ever any doubt, the machine head at a "jaunty" angle confirmed it.

I find the whole thing a bit silly to be honest. It's probably the same sort of people who complain about clip on tuners being left on during gigs. Who gives a sh#t? At long as the audience and band are enjoying it, you could have a full set of Encyclopedia Britannica on stage for all I care.

I watched the first two last night. I quite enjoyed them. The Sex Pistols were way before my time, but I was aware of them by the time I got to my teens, and of course played the almost compulsory for any young rock covers band, Anarchy in the UK. I know absolutely nothing about Steve whatshisface who's memoirs it's based on, so it's interesting as a stand alone drama. I'm not sure how accurate it is, and I'm not sure I really care. So far it's a decent watch, and the guy playing Johnny had me in stitches. He's got the mannerisms down to a T.

Our good friend Mr Phillips again. 🙄

If those are the rules i can't work out how I'm in a band. 😆

Sounds like a much better candidate. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm equally as happy the other way around. If someone isn't the greatest musician, but they're a good fit socially for the band, and they're willing to work. That's good enough for me.

I have the same thing when I get to certain song parts. I think I'm going to c@ck it up, so the anxiety builds the closer I get to the part, then by the time I actually get there is almost inevitable I'm going to mess it up because the nervous energy has risen to such a high, that playing anything is almost impossible.

I thought I was going insane for a while there. Why are there six tuners on a 5 string bass? Took me ages to figure out one of them was a shadow on the wall behind. 😆

Same with Velvet Revolver. Basically GnR without Axl. Scott Weiland was utter dross and totally let down the band imo.

Knocking over the guitars gets a standing ovation for best song of the night.

Very tenuous. He must be short of cash. Other than the title, they have absolutely nothing in common.

You people are crazy. 😆

Probably fit in perfectly at a jazz gig. How would anyone know the difference?

One of the greatest vocalists of all time for me. I mean, the bloke was an absolute not job, but a superb vocal range.

Sadly this is not unusual. I worked the doors for about 6 years and had to deal with people like this on a nightly basis. It's one of the reasons I won't do night time pub / club gigs now. I'm afraid there's absolutely no way I could keep my cool and deal with the situation as diplomatically as you did. Well played. 👍

I think you may have missed the joke, but yes indeed. Still one of my favourite bands of all time. Their first album still ranks as one of the greatest debut albums ever released for me, almost (but not quite) up there with Appetite For Destruction.

There's a thread on here entitled. "Rap. No, it doesn't start with a C". I'd happily remove the '''nt" from that title.

Mojo and heft. What more do you want from a cab? 😆

Skid Row cover band?

The White Stripes were utter sh#te!

Great to see so many gigs happening at last. Keep up the good work chaps. 👌

I've finally made it to level 14 and cemented my status as Grand Poobar. I'm only 47. I feel like I've peaked too young! It's all downhill from here.

When I was a kid, I thought Mike Reid off the radio invented Fairly Liquid. I genuinely thought the song on the advert said "Hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face, with Mike Reid's Fairy Liquid".

Precisely. It's the unpopular musical opinions thread, and that's one of mine. I don't expect anyone else to share it. Another one. Jim Steinmann was a genius!
