Karaoke then?

had the chance to use an Elf 1 x 10 combo at the weekend, what a disappointment, not bollocks, grunt, heft, what ever you want to call it, loud enough on stage during the sound check, but no projection into the largish room, then the guitarist decided to turn up, had everything maxed out and still struggled to hear myself, and I had it raised up onto a table, the Elf head my be okish with a couple of decent cabs but the combo on it's own isn't up to the job

there's an interview where Lydon explains his feelings, he's never really got on with the others that's why he orchestrated getting Sid in, he does seem to take offense very easily, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me 😊

I'd rather see the Sex Pistols without Lydon than not at all, which seem to be the alternative, similar situation to the Undertones without Fergal Sharkey, I loved their recent gigs I've been too

I think Rose coloured specs comes into play on a lot of these statements, but yes teenage years are the most formative music wise, I think it's great they use old songs in TV ads, it means everybody knows songs we do in our set like Blitzkrieg Bop and Should I Stay or Should I Go etc

NL4 plugs will not work with a NL2 connector but NL2plugs will work with an NL4 connector, most modern PA's have NL4 connectors, so no problem. https://www.amazon.com/review/R3CPRR8V9Q7C7C/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm

If you're using your laptop speakers you'll never hear bass, headphones should help edit, just reread the post, if you don't want to use headphones you cold do what I do and and connect the laptop to a stereo system, or buy some good quality computer speakers, built in laptop speakers are barely better than ones that are in a phone

FTFY, if there's one way to wind up Forest fans it's to call the club Notts Forest, Forest, Nottm Forest or Nottingham Forest all fine. on the subject of Eurovision, haven't watched it for years, it's middle of the road Saturday entertainment, like Strictly, Britain's got Talent etc, I don't watch those either

presumable it's worth £20 as firewood

different solution to the same problem, I had trouble hearing myself sometimes now I put my amp/speakers on a table or chair to get them at ear level, it's solved the problem for me

Yes the Glitter Band had their own hits but when I've seen them, post Gadds peodo activities coming to light, they've done his hits as well, much to the crowds delight

just watched This Town, good in parts, not so good in others, but the ending, although highly predictable was truly ridiculous, the whole crowd invasion thing to a song they'd never heard by a band they'd never heard off and worst song by the band in the whole series as well

I thought was Glitter that sold the rights? according to the TV program anyway, or perhaps they both did

no, because of the laws in USA his was able to pay off his accusers, but enough has come out since to convince me there's was something in it, if it had been Britain he wouldn't have got away with it edit, you could say the same about Jimmy Savile

I've seen versions of the Glitter band a couple of times, since Gadd got convicted, brilliant gigs they played all the Gary Glitter hits, went down a storm, I suppose if Gary's not playing them it's different, great songs. Still not sure how the Michael Jackson legacy seems to escaped his very dodgy past

yes, uncomfortable viewing, but necessary I think, pop stars in their 20's taking advantage of 14 year groupies is bad enough, but 8 years olds is beyond my comprehension

yep, I'm a big Beatles fan but I get fed up with most singles because they get played so often, thankfully they're one of the few bands where album tracks, non singles, also get played. Not big Queen fan but even less so now, I listen to, mostly 3 stations for music, being an old fart, they're Gold, Virgin anthems and Absolute classic rock, a Queen song was being played on all 3 the other day 😓. Oldies stations have so many songs to choose from why do the same ones keep cropping up?

well I always do whenever possible, saves damaging my headstock when I clout the singer round the head 😂, looks more symmetrical as well with us always having right handed guitarists (only one though, thankfully) our drummer is also left handed so the eye contact thing works

Mull of Kintyre, which, being a Forest supporter is a real problem for me, when I used to go to matches I used to dread the start of the second half when the whole ground sings "City Ground oh mist rolling in from the Trent", part of the reason I don't go anymore, at least when they're on TV I Can mute the sound.

I use green ones all the time, I get far more comments about them than about my playing 😂, where did you get them from?

that's what I use now, a mate gave me an extension lead for his lawn mower that he didn't use anymore, ideal speaker cable, like you say orange, 2 core, and nice and chunky

don't know about anybody else but I need a magnifying glass to see the + and - on the plugs 😕 edit, and all this talk of speakon plugs is not much use to the @Cheeto726 as it looks like his gear has jack sockets

looks like they're old style jack plugs from the photos, I make my own up from old l 2 core lecy cables, bell wire is not advisable but anything a bit more substantial will do the job, and decent quality jack plugs, of course you need a soldiering iron for this

the DR Neon's arrived today, no extra charges, bizarrely, according to tracking they came from Sweden!
