RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Used to love denark street. Especially In the '80s when me and a few pals used to work in soho. Now, to me anyway, it looks very tired. That could be the fact that a lot has changed since then, and times have changed.

Cool thread shell. Keep rocking !

So, this afternoon I check my emails. Got one from song kick, informing me of korn playing a gig at the Brixton academy in July . This evening, I consider buying a couple..sold out!! Normally , there's a pre sale, then the rest of the tkts (10%) go on sale to the public on Friday. Not this time ! Dare I sa y, thankfully , I go to less gigs now because , like me most of the bands I follow are getting old and don't tour so much. The next major gigs I wouldve expected to see in due course are rush/ metallica /ram stein. Guess w hat? No chance ! Even the scorpions will be sold out. Looks like my time is up . Not because I'm too old to rock. It's because of the corporate greed , and the other cr@p that's been dominating every major event over the last 15 years or so. I suppose, I saw all the bands at their peak . I'll just download live gigs from iTunes in the future . Rant over

Nothing wrong with an old slapper .( sorry)

Looks complicated and hideous to me

Now it's turned into a (shaving) soap opera. No life till lather..

That 4 album box set is the nuts! Shame on Virgin for not putting it on cd tho'. Btw ; best froese album ? Macular trancefer IMHO

I found out from a friend via text. I also saw it in the guardian via google. Did the bbc bother to mention it?

Gutted . A true legend. Having said that ,I was wondering if he bored himself to death. After underwater sunlight. , td were very tedious to listen to IMHO . Says a lot that , they are always on my iPhone even in this day and age . R I p. Shame the bauman / froese / franke lineup never reunited

Good point sponge bob . Reminds me a bit like buying live DVDs / VHS etc . I bought a Metallica gig on iTunes at Xmas time . It'll always be there , and won't take up any space in my flat. The only thing that annoys me about downloading, is that eventually we re gonna be fleeced to buy more gb of data etc.

Interesting topic. I have toneport ux1. ( USB audio interface ). I find the presets really good . There are loads . Not so many bass ones . I used to have a behringet v amp pro . Awful instructions, and pretty poor IMHO . I find that rather than use line 6 pods, you're probably better getting a decent amp and of you require effects , then buy them seperately. That way, the sound you're getting from your favourite amp is pure

Send me your money s t

I'm with nancy on this . Love the way he said it I'll probably subscribe on payday. There are a few bands, which I find patchy( air, royksopp. Etc.) this way I can avoid the crappy stuff. I hope that you can download stuff at home, and not have to rely on broadband all the time tho'

I agree with Nancy Johnson . Love the way you said it I'm gonna try it on payday . There are bands like air, royksopp etc. which I find patchy. This way, i can avoid the crap stuff eventually. Also, some rare stuff is on there apparently . Is it true, that you don't need an internet connection all the time? ( commuting etc.) I hope you can download stuff at home, and keep it until subscription expires.

Salica gel always found in new instrument cases. I would say , depending on how long they've been up there, put them in heavy padded gig bags if you have any - with the Salica gel for a few days. Do not eat !

Used to have a stiletto elite 5 ( diamond series). Loved it . Sold it as , times were hard, and I was still gigging and never had enough time to master it as my main bass. Lovely bling basses;) very common in usa, not so much over here. Light, lovely and a great low action .

I'm losing touch here . Never heard of em till last week, when I saw announcement . Seems like Glenn , is getting a bit difficult to work with. Fantastic talent , but it has been said his ego has come back .
