indeed, the sound track from the Backbeat Band, from the film Backbeat is very punk rock

pop music can be good, always has been, trouble is, when you get to a certain age it always sounds like something else you've heard before

I bet he learnt it later, like a lot of things, if you can't see the point of it, it's difficult to stay focused

absolutely, the whole being greater than the sum of the parts

a lot my favourite Beatle songs are written by Lennon, Macca did do some good ones but was responsible for most of the average stuff, by Beatle standards anyway, have to agree with one of @neilp's comments, some of his lyrics were/are drivel, he's a lazy lyricist who tends to writes rubbish just to get a rhyme and too often strays into twee territory

and she plays with a pick 😃

I heard that as well, but I've never seen a photo of him playing a right handed Hofner upside down (the controls on top), is it not more likely that they were one of the few manufacturers that produced an affordable left handed model?

lol, yes, silly me, doesn't help that the drummer was Pete Best 😂

something like that, when Pete Sutcliffe left they needed a bass player and Paul was the one who was least against giving it a go

I seem to remember an interview with Noel where he said, although he admired the Beatles Glam had a lot more of an influence on Oasis

Oasis may have been inspired by the Beatles, amongst others, but their bass lines are nothing to write home about

I think we've had a similar thread before, usually, only bass players listen or understand for the bass line, I don't think he's under appreciated amongst Bass players

don't think that's available any more and it's a guitar pedal I think

Seems to be a Women in Rock night on Sky Arts, Go Go's, Pretenders, Joan Jet and Blondie, not my bag but whatever floats your boat

wish you lot would stop suggesting Distortion pedals I've managed quite well with a Zoom B1on up to now, so which on would give me an early Stranglers sound?

We've found that, bought a PA with compression as an effect and can't use it because it causes feedback

EQ and a bit of Echo or Reverb, with my voice I don't like bottom end, think Jeff Lynne

couple of Irish related documentary's on BBC 4 this Friday, Story of the Boomtown Rats and rock music in Ireland, I've a feeling they've both been on before

not Sky Arts (maybe I should change the thread title) but BBC 4 Documentry about Shane McGowen 10pm tomorrow.

Always The Sun was another one one from their 'pop' period, and a totally pointless cover of All Day and All of the Night

wish I'd have thought of that one, all the great Rock and Roll songs he wrote and recorded and his only number one was that. Chuck being Chuck asked in an interview what was he favourite song, he said that one because he made most money from it. Of course it could be that he was a bit of a pervert 😃

this ought to go on the fingers or pick thread, really must try a thinner pick 😊

I watched the Mick Fleetwood and Mark Knoffler ones and enjoyed them, didn't bother with Joe Walsh, sounds like a good move, will be watching the Paul Rodgers

I've only watched the Poly and Damned ones so far, both didn't leave me particularly uplifted to be honest, Poly obviously had severe Mental Health issues, and the Damned just seemed to bitter that they didn't receive the same accolades as the Pistols and the Clash and to spent their time slagging each other off. Despite all bad feelings in the band they have a reunion tour, all original members, planned this year, don't know whether its' still happening with the Covid thing going down

this is my sort of punk as well, always makes me smile when punks are caricatured as having mohawk haircuts and leather biker jackets, that didn't come in until a couple of years later (especially the haircuts) with shouty bands like GBH, and Exploited, early punk bands dressed in all sorts of ways and tended to have relatively long hair, by todays standards anyway Having a punk uniform goes against the punk ethos really
