RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Dead babies -alice cooper

You're so vain - carly simon Build me up buttercup-foundations Slither- nirvana ? My girl - Annies song-faith no more Longview- green day Double barrell-dave and ansell collins ?

Saw them on iplayer. The lighting was good. 2 songs was enough. Sort of arty pop i guess. Not my bag.

They seem good at what they do. However, 2 songs was enough for me on the iplayer. Musical equivalent of Miranda Hart. Supposed to be great, but no substance. I'm not really into folk tho'

Aaargh my eyes ! The nobby bass by warwick is equally as bad tho'

George michael supplied the toiletries

Festivals never interested me,and still don't tbh. Donington&germany monsters of rock a few times was my lot. I think people, on the whole are treated with more respect these days. I find that we were treated like cattle in veal crates for outdoor gigs in general. Anyway, regarding glastonbury. I was a huge Hawkwind fan & purchased the ultra rare(and much talked about)Glastonbury fayre lp. It was a triple lp, complete with spaceship,and various hippy stuff. I was never a hippy tho'. It was realeased in '71? The very first Glastonbury. Bowie was good on it, as were the pink fairies and edgar broughton band. Mh tastes changed over the years,and i sold it

George michael , boy george..

Cheers. Just saw them. They were very tight, tho' the frontman is a bit les miserable.he seemed a little nervous. The crowd seemed to like them eventually. Not really an outdoor band imho. I'll see if goat are on the iplayer.

Boo, not on iplayer

[quote name='merello' timestamp='1372618239' post='2127781'] Loved the way everyone joined in with Kenny Rogers songs! Secret band anyone? [/quote] Gonna see if I can find him on the iplayer. Lucille,with 400 children

Just watched it on iplayer. Really good, ( 2000 light years, miss you were dire tho' imho). Midnight rambler, probably my fave stones track & it was brilliant. Good thing I managed to see it on iplayer, as I don't need to pay £600 for the next gig in London;)

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1372588331' post='2127397'] It was around 11pm start, but I watched it on the internet, so no idea about the red button bit. [/quote] Cheers for that

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1372586978' post='2127381'] The time was well advertised, I thought..? They showed an hour of their set, live as it happened (pretty much). I thought it was OK. Not great. But then I've never quite got the Stones live experience. They always sound in a hurry to get back to their hotel. [/quote] What time did bbc show it? Was it red button? I saw craig charles introduce pubic enemy ,and switced over. Watched wallander, still no stones ...

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1372583058' post='2127332'] Just catching a bit of the highlights over a late breakfast (gigging last night and didn't record it) on iplayer. Considering age and the band have long had a reputation for turning in some mediocre live performances as well as great ones it's really not that bad. They'd be screwed without Jagger though. Proper front man, it's not as easy as he makes it look. [/quote] Me &a few pals discussed the best frontman. We all said its definitely mick.

.. Was Toy! Anybody catch them? ( had a brief glimpse at other bands, & from what I could see, it looks dire) only my opinion of course;)

Annoyed at the bbc , for not telling us what time they were showing them. Did they show a consecutive hour, or was it chop and change to other bands ? Sounds like I haven't missed much

Just wondering;)

Markbass super synth? Moog ?

Nice baasss;)

[quote name='Bloodaxe' timestamp='1372248966' post='2123315'] Same here. I find it takes awhile to dumb down my technique & readjust to frets - I keep hitting the fret for a bit. Beware! There's competition! (albeit oop Nerth) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUO6kYLb6As That was good [/quote]

Must admit, after learning on a hondoll I was traumatised. It was a copy of a precision, but in reality it was firewood on a stick. Weighed more than my sister in law. Years later, I got a telecaster bass and it feels completely the opposite . Looks alright too. Having said all that, a decent headless bass keeps in tune more than any other bass , and the necks are free from warping etc. So it's horses for courses. It comes down to the person playing it IMHO )

Thanks folks! Yep, the market has been truly pants for quite some time. At least I'm not giving up altogether just yet. I realise that certain ones are rare,but not too expensive (jack Daniels/ Dean Cabbie), so they are keepers even just to hang somewhere. The washburn Status will stay with me also, as it's my first 'proper' bass, and feels the most comfortable to play. Plus I've had it years (bought from new). The others are gathering dust...
