I think it's important to stick to one genre, if you try and please all the people you'll please no one, in the band I'm in covers are chosen by consensus, but if someone really doesn't want to do a certain song we don't do it, after all if someone refuses to learn a song what can you do? besides kick them out the band, I've recently done this, the singer wanted to learn Ruby Soho by Rancid, but we'd already tried Timebomb, a more popular song, according to Spotify streams, by Rancid and it flopped and got dropped, so I wasn't going to waste my time learning it

whatever we think Amazon have got it nailed, I've got several friends who swear by amazon Prime's very efficient next day delivery, their bad treatment of staff, like Wetherspoons, is overplayed, by the 'they must be Bastards because they make so much money' brigade. As far as the tax evasion is concerned that's the Governments fault, no company pays more tax than they've got too

I usually finish up buying off e bay after checking on Amazon, is that better or worse?

tbf if a singer's not self obsessed or an attention seeker (same thing?) they're usually not a very good front person

Our guitarist or drummer have to lift the speakers of the stands, I can't do it anymore, them 15" Wharfdale Titan's aren't half heavy 😄

when the band I play in lost 2 members the remaining members, me and the singer, paid off the leaving members, so me and the singer now own the PA, you can hardly ask someone just joining the band to fork out for the PA but we do take a small fee (round down there share of gig money) off the new members to pay for it's upkeep

just watched the whole set on catch up, she was excellent, in fact it's the only artist I've been able to watch all the way through

Glastonbury under fire for scheduling issues https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13591165/Glastonbury-fans-SLAM-festival-organisers-Avril-Lavigne-overcrowded-stage-SZA-crowds.html

just listened to a bit of Soft Play and Idles, has my hearing loss got worse or are the vocals practically inaudible in the mix?

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
