RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

I say relax. I paid around £30 with box/ manual etc. Other ones will appear soon imho

They will use someone to finish off the tour apparently . After that, I think the writings on the wall , and they should call it a day . No idea, but only 2 spring to mind : steve soussa( I think that's his name? Exodus frontman )and the vocalist from airborne .( spellchecker issues)

Believe it or not , since going to my first gig in '79, I can only think of 2 .. Or 3 at a push . 1) iron maiden , metal for muthas gig Lyceum 1979. Can't remember how many encores they did ( more than 2) . Di'anno was screaming at the sound guys to turn it up even louder . Even some of the muthas had enough. Bit too uncomfortable. 2) manowar ( snigger;) ) Blow your speakers tour hammy odeon 1987(?) Full Marshall stack . Not for show. They used them . Halfway back in the stalls, sound was great , despite the volume. 3) Motörhead ace up your sleeve tour , hammy o 1980. I had the flu , but saw 2 of the 4 gigs there . Lemmy passing my friend vodka with a tiny it if orange juice didn't help. Deaf for all of the next day . Anybody else ?

There's me thinking dad was a mod on here and a drummer. Will read this later..

IMHO , there are everyday things other than music, that are potentially worse . For example; in a loading bay where "builders" chuck metal objects on concrete floors from their lorries. Trying to talk to the security staff on the other side of the reception desk , without using too many expletives is very difficult .? That is actually worse than having a drummer hitting his/ her foot pedals when you are on your knees setting up your equipment ( and theirs , which explains the kneeling down;) )

Until Xmas time last year, there were always ones up for sale , more or less every week . I got mine about 18 months ago on here . Give it time , and a few more will pop up

I've always been wary of in ear phones . Just don't feel safe , although millions of sales have proved me wrong . I use akg noise reducing for commuting . I have a pair of sennheisers ( or beyer dynamic ) for bass playing / recording etc

Seen a few hi fi topics on here, but not many headphone comparisons . Well?

[quote name='vbance' timestamp='1457261438' post='2996736'] [url="https://flic.kr/p/vfEf9c"][/url] i listen using an iPod with some quality headphones or buds most of the time but when the family are out i fire up the hifi and listen to cd's or stream to it. music is my drug, well one of them anyway. [/quote] Love that

Lots of comments to read = another good thread;) Changing times, circumstances&getting old means I listen to stuff mainly when commuting. I have a seperate system in my flat, but it is literally seperate. Not used since I got a Bluetooth sound bar in the living room for my telly. I do have another system , which comprises ceiling speakers( bedroom& tiny hallway)/ CD player./ amp. I recently started using it again while in the bath, but now I've seen this thread will use a lot more. Interesting thing about this system, is that CDs not remastered sound good. I sometimes listen to stuff through my studio monitors in my spare room also. Must change my iTunes playlist ....

I admire all of you on this thread. I haven't got the talent unfortunately . One thing at the back of my mind , was to learn how to draw/ paint. Then the idea , was to make my own t shirts. Screenprinted of course;) On a slight tangent ; one of my favourite ever t shirts I bought years ago , was a cartoony animal band. They were a punk band having beer glasses chucked at them . Etc. Would reproduce a similar one if I had your talents

I had a stiletto elite 5 . My one and only 5 string at the time. Regret selling . 10 a penny in the states , but not so in the uk. I bought it at the wrong time TBH . At the time I was in 2 bands, not enough time to learn a 5 string .Then I was broke ... This one looked the part , and was good for metal;)

Will list the Metallica load/ reload best of later Can't remember all of the,tracks from reload , as it was crap

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1457135134' post='2995804'] I think if you read FlatEric's blog, you'll find that they didn't - Reeve did, on a commission for them. Fascinating story so far and I'm looking forward to the next part. [/quote] Thanks for clearing

Master of puppets was released as a double album. The single album had a terrible scratching noise all the way through it. Does this count ?

Don't like the buzzard ones

I had an alligator combo years ago. Didn't know they made basses. I thought it was amplification only . Interesting

Love sparks . one of the very first singles I ever bought was amateur hour . They were great on top of the pops. They were known as the weird band at school . People couldn't dance to them then , but they were different . Got the first couple of albums, and a greatest hits cd. I even like some of the disco stuff. Saw them at the Astoria a couple of times. If they played shepherd 's bush I saw them there as well. ( memory lapse), Remember the gorgeous female percussionist and the bass player who came on for a couple of songs at the end. Also, 'Ronald ' keyboard;) etc. Album wise, a bit patchy for me . I've got hello young lovers , and gratuitous sax and violins. Good albums .

I prefer the old status headless tbh s2 etc. This is not unlike a kubicki , which is a cool bass.

My first couple of gigs were more or less the same lineup as yours Sounds good. Have a blast

For a split second, when I put battery in everything was OK. Unfortunately, it is the pedal that's broken. Can I get it fixed , or do I bin it ??

Keep it together. We all make mistakes . Good luck to you and all that have struggled .

No images on my iPhone . Can't see it
