These are pro artists. These are con artists.

I never tire of this slice of total and utter f***ing genius. [i]So[/i] far ahead of its time. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuNrlecJCNA&list=RDFuNrlecJCNA&index=1[/media]

[quote name='YouMa' timestamp='1418478761' post='2630514'] Am i the only person who thought the Ramones were crap? [/quote] Nope. On a dreadfulness scale where 0 is 'ok-ish' and 10 is 'really really bad', they scored about 53.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1417338500' post='2619181'] Agreed. [/quote] Disagreed, very much so. Starting to feel quite lonely here in the pro-Cocker camp.

Bought Time's Up. Loved it. Bought Stain. Tried repeatedly to like it. Failed.

Soundtech PS802 They crop up on fleabay for not very much.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1417084544' post='2616862'] How about Crocs?... nothing says you've given up on [s]style[/s] [b]life[/b] quite like a pair of crocs... [/quote] Fixed to reflect the full horror of Crocs.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1417095455' post='2617038'] Jason Orange left Take That to join Nick Cave's Bad Seeds, alongside Fiona Apple, Herbie Flowers and Robert Plant. [/quote] Weren't Moby Grape and Tangerine Dream involved in that too?

MC5 originally wrote "Kick Out The Jams" whilst on holiday in Margate. The song was an expression of their extreme disappointment at finding no marmalade amongst the breakfast preserves at their B&B accommodation.

[quote name='Drax' timestamp='1417031041' post='2616452'] Typically someone isn't happy [url="https://medium.com/@spencerlee/this-story-could-be-told-in-a-much-more-concise-way-that-leaves-the-band-looking-much-less-like-a-ce267daf11b7"]https://medium.com/@spencerlee/this-story-could-be-told-in-a-much-more-concise-way-that-leaves-the-band-looking-much-less-like-a-ce267daf11b7[/url] [/quote] His diatribe response seems to be based more on his dislike of the band and their music than anything else.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1417013002' post='2616078'] I'll also have done my hair[/quote] Cherish it while you still have it

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1416964817' post='2615645'] That's a good point, I really think some guys don't know and it goes beyond T-Shirts. A guy might think I'll grow a beard or a mustache and for some guys that can grow decent beards ( I have almost no facial hair ) and it will look great. But beards and mustaches don't look great on everyone. You would think that guy would have a wife, girlfriend that would say, "lose the beard". [/quote] I have a beard. A couple of years ago, my son grew a similar beard. It looks about a million trillion times better on him than mine does on me. I also have a hat. A couple of years ago, my daughter borrowed it. Guess what? I have come to the conclusion that looking like a sack of sh*t tied up in the middle is, for me, not so much a failing as a [i]c'est la vie[/i].

There's a masterpiece of advertising all over the various media this morning too. I refer of course to the 'news' that [url="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/bags-money-tetley-tea-insures-4694320"]Tetley have insured the tastebuds of one of their blenders[/url]. It was all over the BBC radio news this morning, on the hour [i]and[/i] half-hour, and is in several newspapers and their websites, not to mention Huffpost. And you can bet your bottom that the insurance premium was a microscopic fraction of the cost of taking out adverts in all those publications. Not to mention of course the completely free advertising on the non-commercial BBC. Tetley must be laughing their heads off. It's a stroke of genius.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1417002415' post='2615881'] Some people look scruffy naked. [/quote] God dammit. She told me that tape had been destroyed.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1416959601' post='2615607'] Unfortunately, some people will always look like they've just been pulled through a hedge backwards regardless of whether they're wearing jeans or a Saville Row suit. [/quote] This. I tend to stick to jeans & tees for a very good reason -- I just look ridiculous in anything smarter. Remember how good Daniel Craig looked in that tuxedo in Casino Royale? If I wore that suit, or more accurately one my size from the same tailor, I'd just look like a sad fat bastid trying to look good and failing miserably. My band does have a dress code, but it's fairly relaxed in a "wear anything you want as long as it's red & black" way rather than stipulating a precise item of clothing. So it's black jeans and a red shirt/tee/polo for me.

And a brother named Gabriel.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1416825097' post='2613840'] Is your drummer too loud? Maybe the guitarist is making a stand... [/quote] Given that the OP's "300watt bass amp is only ever at number 1", I get the feeling that excessive drummer volume isn't the problem.

I went to see Rush on their Hold Your Fire tour at Wembley Arena in 1988(?). Ged was playing his black Wal, and looked like he was on great form -- a bit hard to tell though, because I didn't hear a single bloody note he played all night

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1416677128' post='2612585'] what a crap rhythm section. [/quote] [quote name='Wonky2' timestamp='1416679885' post='2612619'] And a load of crap old singers. [/quote] Quite literally speechless.

My guitard has spent an absolute fortune on lighting stuff, he's got the bug big-time so it's all cutting edge stuff. He tried explaining it to me once and I got hopelessly lost now when he's not gigging with us he's out doing lighting for other bands. By contrast, he hasn't bought any new guitar gear for about 20 years

Is it the same auction as this? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/249644-closing-down-auction-ofdistribution-centre-for-peavey-trace-eliot-and-budda/page__pid__2609594#entry2609594

So if you bought a new hifi amp and it was a NAD, presumably the day you picked it up would be a NADNAD?
