PaulWarning

just watched Paul McCartney at the Cavern which was shown on BBC1 on Christmas Day, enjoyed it, 2 things struck me, he had a lot of of help from the backing vocals, unsurprising bearing in mind his singing is a bit dodgy these days and fair enough. What did surprise me was the keyboards were doing the bass line to 'I saw Her Standing There' bit of a shocker, I've always struggled with that bass line and admired the way Macca could play it and sing at the same time, it would seem he no longer can.

I remember now, I bought a 2 pole replacement socket for a PA speaker and our speaker cable had 4 pole plugs, confused the hell out of me when they wouldn't plug in and twist

I seem to remember that NL4 and NL2's aren't interchangeable with each other, one won't plug into another's socket, well I had trouble once when I ordered the wrong plug

a lot of bands initially get together because they're mates, or become mates, like the Beatles, it's like being in a gang, it's only later on when bands get together because they're musicians, and then differences soon surface unless there's a clearly defined leader who decides things, the other follow for the money

this is more likely, it's very hard to stay 'mates' with someone when when band 'personalities' become more and more of a problem, and if you're on tour and living in each other pockets it's pretty much impossible I would imagine

not defending this guy, but it may help us understand his behaviour if we understand that he does appear to have a gambling problem and he'll do anything to get the money for his next fix, bit like a drug addict or an alcoholic, he doesn't care about the distress he causes other people

I had a stiff arm for a day or so, maybe I should had the prick in my prick

I can spend hours messing about with EQ, my B1on pedal has endless possibilities, sometimes I think I've nailed the sound I want, come back a few hours later and realise I'm nowhere close 😠

triplets cause me trouble

what settings did you use on the MS-60B? edit ok just found them

tbh, I don't think making money is the only consideration when running a live music venue, it's a love of live music as well, maybe that's part of the problem, some people who run live music pubs let the pub side of it down, like a decent pint, and some only book bands they like, not what will brings in the punters

shame, played there 2 or 3 times a year, always a good gig, especially when Rock City threw everybody out from a gig at 9.30 so they could start the disco. Hopefully someone will buy it off Greene King and keep it as a music venue

In Nottingham the infection rate went through the roof when the students came back, it's falling again now they're going home, I'm ready for another spike in January when they come back, of course that will be blamed, maybe rightly so, on the irresponsible decision to allow families to mix over Christmas

yep me too, I was pleasantly surprised how organised it was

sounds like some of the early punk bands from the late 70's, early 80's, basically they couldn't play, some of them got signed to earache records though

I'm the same, couldn't stand his whaling in the Smiths but he did seem to sing a bit more on his solo stuff, First of the Gang to Die and especially Every Day is Like Sunday are amongst my favourites

the current system certainly has it's shortcomings, but what would be better? "Capitalism, the worst economic system, except for all the others", Winston Churchill

nothing wrong with using the private sector if they do it better and cheaper, the fact they make a profit shouldn't be the issue. Ideology shouldn't get in the way of getting the best deal for the tax payer, When the term NHS for sale is used, the implication is that it won't be free at the point of use, as far as I know none of the main parties have ever been close to saying that

and later said it wasn't, Trump didn't even know what NHS stood for when he was asked the question, it's Labours favourite scare tactic during election campaigns, "the Tories will sell of the NHS" they use it every time and it's still not been sold off Edit IBTL

there's a thread about it, that's how I found out anyway

I've said this before, but it also had something to do with the Green P bass he bought off Hugh Cornwall, he broke it in half while thumping it to get feed back, had it repaired and it was never the same again, or so the story goes, he certainly didn't sound like those first 3 albums last time I saw them

I may be talking out of my backside here but the actual electronics are probably the same in the B1 and G1 it's just the way the effects set up that's different, I base this on the fact I've uploaded the G1on effects onto the B1on, I think I could have got the same sounds with a bit of nob twiddling

fair enough. Question 1, depends on the copper. Question 2 No

Which closed back headphones have the biggest ear pads? I have behind the ear hearing aids and big ears

talking of risk at the work place, I was chatting to someone who'd had Covid this morning, I asked how she caught it she said" At work the Royal Mail sorting office, a lot of temps at this time of year including students, all inside with no ventilation, loads have had it there"
