  1. Got an amazing autumn lined up now: Saxon, Black Star Riders, Girlschool Hawkwind 50th anniversary (on my birthday 🙂 ) Phil Campbell and his illegitimate babies Plus my one brother's band, Stonehouse, are going up to Scotland to play at my other brother's wife's 60th.
  2. Is it only me who feels slightly uncomfortable about the Warwick top horn? 😈
  3. Oh no! Not the total perspective vortex....
  4. One of my brothers was Angus in a band that had the iterations TNT and High Voltage (originality of names is not a strong suite for AC/DC tributes...) Sadly I don't have a pic of him in uniform.
  5. Didn't you just love it when R1 DJ's had to introduce music they hated 🙂
  6. UFO are everything Def Leppard should have been.
  7. When I saw the Bootleg Beatles it was far nearer to the Beatles than now is to the Bootleg Beatles...
  8. No! NO! Not the Comfy Chair!
  9. Interesting comments folks 🙂
  10. A lot of carefully argued points of view. But the UK has Hawkwind. 😎
  11. Froma distant shot I think it was Steve Morse - right build, hair, blue strat...
  12. There's a useful and level headed history of how the use of the slang term has evolved on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_(slang) Clearly different people use it in different ways. It's a young term and it its meaning is not stable.
  13. Despite being a veggie, I salvaged some big sheets of leather of about that colour from a pair of sofas. I've just realised I can use them to make broad under-straps. Adding one to my genuine Ace peace and dove strap will give me the authentic Neil Young effect (just add a Gold Top LP and paint black...)
  14. My brother might say so... he's a big fan of symphonic-thrash-death-scandi-folk-metal.
  15. The Transisters? I'll get my coat...
  16. I suspect most of us have a cort-made bass or three, perhaps even without realising it. The serial number on the pickup in my Squier Jag comes up as being Cort, and I understand both my Hohners were made by them, and possibly my Ibanez '335' as well!
  17. Well I disagree, but i'm happy for others to make up their own minds 🙂
  18. I've been thinking of asking a very similar question. My plan is: TU3 --> Compressor --> BEQ7 --> HM2 --> Chorus I suspect the EQ should go after the distortion, although I probably wouldn't use them at the same time. I'm waiting on a ten-stage daisy chain cable so things could get more complex!
  19. <DUCKS> Actually the reality is closer to this:
  20. What incredibly, utterly incompetent editing and camera work! "Whatever you do, don't show the faces of anyone other than Gillan and Paice - and make the 'crowd' of 30 punters look like LIve Aid!"
  21. I can certainly achieve that part...
  22. The exact opposite of someone who says "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" .
