I think I've only heard of about 5 bands on that list, and the only album out of the 30 I've listened to is Never Mind. Meanwhile. Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith et all, continued to release albums and sell out stadiums and arenas for the next 30 years. Maybe no-one told them they were dead?

My ESP LTD is active. It works great.

I saw the documentary last night. It was interesting enough. But at the time of Nirvana's "meteoric rise" around 90 - 91. I was much more into bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Thunder, Alice Cooper etc, I find the claim that grunge killed so called "hair metal" absolutely laughable. I was barely even aware of their existence, other than the continually played Smells Like Teen Spirit that was absolutely hammered to death on MTV, they weren't even a ripple in a lake of great rock and metal music. I was actually surprised to find out that they released several albums. Never Mind was the only album I was even aware of.

Yup. Another one here with the HB Airborne Pro. I have gigged it and use it for practice every week. No issues whatsoever. It has 4 selectable channels, so even in the unlikely event of interference, you can just change to another channel. Well worth the money.

Vinyl was before my time. I had a few records, and an old record player, but by the time I started developing my own tastes it was all about cassette tapes. Now if you want to talk about a real shoddy musical medium.......

All true. But I actually meant literally, not figuratively. Compelling viewing if you haven't already seen it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3253624/

Well, that and Courtney Love.

I wouldn't know. I could never understand a single word he was singing.

I can't understand how their appearance on The Word would have in any way elevated then to fame. I remember seeing it at the time. Kurt Cobain was absolutely smashed of his tits and they played and sounded absolutely awful. That very appearance was one of the reasons I never really rated the band at all. Yeah granted, they probably had a unique sound at the time. But the slurry illegible, unintelligible singing totally ruined it for me. I never understood why they were considered to be such a great band.

I had the Donner ones for about the same price and they were excellent. I'm current using the Harley Benton which, if I remember correctly is about £90 and it's superb!

I hated reaction videos, until I found The Charismatic Voice on YouTube. Then I think I fell a bit in love.

I'm looking forward to the Trace Elliott one. Eau de Heft!

Wow! They even managed to make a turntable look dull.

I can't even tell when I'm in the wrong key.

Here's one of our very amateur efforts. But we've all got to start somewhere I guess. https://youtu.be/Db3USbk1lbY I don't know why it's only posting a link instead of embedding the video.

God forbid. With my art skills, if I designed a bass it would come out looking like Mr Sneeze from the Mr Men books.

I actually really like the quirkyness of these. I much prefer them to the standard Music Man.

Class. 👌

We all know what an earworm is. A song you hear and can't get out of your head all day. But does anyone else get dreamworms, where you actually wake up with a song in your head that you haven't heard in years? I suspect it's some sort of nighttime re-filing that the brain does while we're sleeping. I do it quite often. This is today's little gem. A song I haven't heard or thought about in a very long time, and I'd totally forgotten even existed. What an absolute banger!
