Crusoe

I hated the Black album, because it was the one where they turned into Coldplay. I think their ubiquitousness is because of Stranger Things. Suddenly, kids everywhere were listening to and learn8ng to play Master of Puppets. There's even a guy with a Tik Tok account, who plays MoP on all sorts of things from bicycle wheel spokes to bananas.

Welcome James.

That's just a list of Bob Dylan songs.

I'm sorry to hear it. My condolences to Nigel's family.

I saw Lou Reed performing the "Berlin" album live. I was a bit apprehensive as he had a reputation for messing with the arrangements of his songs, but they played the whole thing straight. He even did "Satellite of Love" as an encore. It was probably the best concert I've ever been to.

I came here for this reply.

I don't mind much if a band changes some of their songs a bit, but stretching a four minute song to fifteen is just self-indulgence. I'm away for a pint at that point.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Quick, someone call the ellipsis police! 😄😋

In the very brief time that I played in a band, I hated playing Zombie by The Cranberries. It was just plod along and tedious.

Double (fence) post

You had a fret? An actual fret made of metal? Luxury!! Don't even get me started on fretboards and necks... an old fence post that I found in a field were all I 'ad.

Well done Danny, congratulations. Sounds like a great time.

That looks the business

*The Smiths have entered the chat*

No way. I watched the video on that other thread. 😄

😄 When I said it makes sense, I meant I understood why his playing wasn't great. Let me know how you get on with that helicopter

Yesterday, I watched a YouTube video that someone had posted on here, where a guy refurbished a MM stingray neck. He applied some solder to each fret and ran the soldering iron up and down the frets to heat them, before removal.

There is a bit near the end where he says that he's only had the bass for a few months, which makes sense.

Id say that if you looked at one of the dangly things hanging from your shoulder and one hanging from your bum, it would be about that expensive. 😄

Squier . . . . . . . . . . Umm, that's it. Why are you still reading my list?

I love acoustic basses

I turned my amp on yesterday, pressed the overdrive pedal and nothing. Checked the volume knobs on the guitar and amp; checked the cables, scratched head. Remembered that I had unplugged the power to the pedal board to charge my bike light. Thank goodness I'm only a bedroom player.
