after my line 6 G10 packed up at my last 2 gigs, I think it starts searching for a new channel mid gig!, I 've decided to get a bug type wireless unit, the Boss WL20 or the Xvives, any thoughts?

sounds just like what we use a Yam EMX512SC, we have a very loud drummer (the guy at the rehearsal rooms says we're the loudest band that uses them) and it's good enough for nice clear vocals

it was worse when Matthew Wright was doing it

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower The Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing The Ramones - We Want the Airwaves to name but three

I'm perfectly happy with my Zoom B1on, does warm slightly overdriven to fuzzy Motorhead, only £50 or there's the newer B1 four

well at least he hasn't got 100% feedback any more

Hey Jude, just the thought of that boring boring terminally long ending makes me turn off the Radio Horse with no name by America, the lyric "cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain" why on earth is "for" in there? apart from to annoy the hell out of me Penny Arcade by Roy Orbison, sounds like a 3rd rate Eurovision song entry from the 60's There are loads more of course, these 3 spring to mind

yeah, he looks like he's been under the knife as well, he just doesn't look right

personally I would be very wary of selling to someone with low feedback, the only time I've had any trouble when selling is with someone who had feedback of under 10

I've long been of the opinion that he's had hair transplants, along with Mick Jagger and some others, it is very unusual for anybody to have that much hair well into their 70's. If I was in the public eye with that much money it's exactly what I would do

when I saw him at Rebellion a couple of years ago he was advertised as Ritchie Ramone and did almost exclusively Ramones tracks maybe that was because he was playing Rebellion can't speak for any other gigs,, he did have a good 'Johnny Ramone' on guitar, It you are talking about Somebody put something in my drink, a minor hit, he was credited with writing it, on my vinyl version at least, according to Wikipedia it was the digital sales where the dispute was, not sure on the details but the court found, reluctantly in favour of the rest of the Ramones. But yes, he was the only Ramones drummer to sing and write songs for the band. I think CJ has his own Ramones band

yep, better to have a Rossi only Quo than no Quo at all (some may disagree) the Frantic Four tours were great though, it's special when all the originals get back together

that's the crux of it, but in the case of, say Dr Feelgood and the alternative Sham 69 to name a couple, not sure how many folk would know it's not got any original members, in which case they should be billed as a tribute. Haven't got a problem with tributes btw, some are better than the original band 🙂

I think Dr Feelgood haven't got any original members, and they weren't very good when I saw them. There's a version of Sham 69 without any original members but to confuse matters even further most of the original members are now touring as Sham 69 but they always have Pursey, Parsons, Tregunna on the posters. Bizarrely, there's 2 versions of the Glitter Band as well, or was, no idea how many were original members are in either band

and Ritchie Ramone as well, saw him a couple of years ago, they're basically a Ramones tribute act, it's surprising how many bands go round with only the drummer as the original member, I saw John Coghlan's Status Quo a couple of years ago as well and I think The Vibraters only have the drummer left

just watched Status Quo on the iplayer when I got back from the pub, thoroughly enjoyed it, which surprised me, only Rossi is in it from the original line up they even did a decent new song. I thought they should have packed it in when Parfitt died now I'm not so sure, as long as they're not devaluing the brand (and Quo have done a fair bit of that in their time) where's the harm?

your friends used to give you a hard time after you'd unbuttoned your shirt? you've obviously got a far better body than I

I've seen Jayne County (formerly Wayne County) get her? tits out during the rendition of If you don't want to fcuk me you can fcuk off

Capt Sensible used to be an enthusiastic on stage stripper (used to play bass), never Dave Vanian as far as I know

I'm sort of with you, being in a band can be sort of like being in a gang, all for one and one for all sort of thing, but it only works like that if you're all in agreement with number of gigs songs to play etc, very rare unfortunately

We released our last album on vinyl though Media Hut, they were very helpful and patient with me as I was doing the artwork, it is very much a vanity project, sales have not been very good tbh, sold far more CD's, in spite of all the hype lots of people haven't got a turntable, some haven't got a CD player either, most people seem to use streaming these days

Bass players do seem to get saddled with setting up the PA, me and the drummer do it while the singer 'networks' I don't mind too much because I can't be doing with talking crap to drunks like he does. However, Karma, he started an occasional band with his wife, and had to borrow the PA, despite having done over 300 gigs with it he hadn't got a clue, gave him and his wife a quick lesson but it didn't end well, since then I've noticed he only does gigs where the PA is provided 😁

if he's anywhere a decent drummer he'll have no trouble finding another band if he wants to play more often, of course this increases the chances of conflicts, band politics eh, we're no better than that Westminster lot 😊

can't help 🙂 thinking the Damned were ever so slightlyy taking the wee wee here
