RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Having a discussion with a friend , about the trends in metal. One of the topics to rise , was the trend for all things angry. Now, back in the '80s it seemed that there were so many Rob Halford wannabes . Most were cack. Some were good. So then thrash /death/speed came along roughly in the early '80s. Slayer were probably the most well known for a change from the screamy stuff at the time. Venom , celtic frost etc . Then there was lawnmower death. Apart from queensryche / maiden /priest ( I know I've missed some), everyone seems to sound like they've swallowed an Alsatian . Question is, who started it ?

Think there was a similar thread here last week . ( need to get a life . Websites such as lemon rock are good. Facebook? Over to other basschatters ..

Wasting time; One of my last bands. Every other week at rehearsals , mr vox/ guitar, decides to change the tuning of many songs already learnt from previous rehearsal. Also, psyching yourself up for a pub gig with a big reputation . Then finding yourself playing in front of 1 man and a deaf dog. Plus egocentric rip off manager .( hello grey horse Kingston )

Difficult question. My answer ; when it makes the band megastars (Master of puppets/ morning glory/harvest /dark side of the moon etc.) Also, when they attract mainstream attention, and not just specialist. Also , when you can still play the album20 years latet...

I use toneport ux1, into GarageBand . Soon will explore logic when I'm more brave. There are many options, but that's mine.

Howdy! Unfortunately, you must pay a small fee to advertise here I'm afraid. You can then upload pics, and put down a price you would like. I'm sure someone will advise you shortly . Good luck with the sale

Me too. My left eye is defective at the moment;)

Got to be honest, I haven't seen the vids,as I'm on the ipad . Besides, I nearly got to play rivers in my last band

Rivers of Babylon

A drummer friend of mine ,was in a band called ' sans rien' ( I think that's what it was) . Apparently , it means ' nothing' in French . How a bout 'he suis une c@ck star? ' as another late entry ?

Thank god for lightweight gear. Don't miss mine tbh

Ugh!

Sounds like it could be the active circuitry in the bass at fault. My washburn status was giving police signals and radio stations at one stage. Bump for more opinions from others ..

Would think so. Alternatively, 8 string bass, great for root notes.

Wears a mean wig too

Noooooo! He was pure '80s. Got the hot licks video, where he was really spaced out. Also the first two albums. This is so sad. Totally underrated imho. Shame ;(

Top bloke. Sold wire DVD box set to him . Very mellow and easygoing
