South of heaven - Slayer

Little fluffy clouds - The Orb

This is a sad one. Just like with Lemmy, I knew it would happen soon but still kind of didn't expect it. Ozzy and Sabbath meant so much to heavy metal. Without them, the music i love wouldn't exist. They must be one of the most influential bands of all time. Today I'll be listening to a lot of Black Sabbath. Starting with my favourite song, Supernaut

It does indeed have a tone pump. I'll give that a try.

I'm loving the Euro 4 LX but struggling to get the best out of it with the band. We're playing alt rock, inspired by Teenage Fanclub so fairly chilled out. I'm running straight in to an Ashdown ABM 600 but having to cut the high mids and treble and play with quite a light touch to tone stop it sounding too aggressive. Any tips for getting a bit of character back in my tone while sounding good with relatively clean guitars?

Sunburn - Muse

Do you think people who only have fretted basses might see the title of this thread and think "well that's not for me, I'll move on" and then give you a result which is quite inaccurate?

The offspring and her band have been in t'studio. I can't believe this was written by 17 year old kids. https://on.soundcloud.com/V37Y0fuSwYXSnst9Kv The cover artwork was by the singer/guitarist. Not the AI art that seems to be standard now

Holy cow, £30 for a little bit of moulded plastic

That's the one. Thanks

I'm looking for a thumb rest that shares the pick guard screw holes. I know they exist, I've seen them but now I can't find them for sale. Anyone got a link to them?

You get a lot for your money with Peavey, mostly because everyone has forgotten that they exist and don't look for them.

New music by post rock band, We Lost The Sea. Brilliant new album.

Next Glastonbury will be Coldplay playing 12 sets each day on each of the 5 main stages.

I watched GB News once out of curiosity. It was exhausting keeping up with the outrage and depressing listening to them talk about how terrible life in Britain is (and they claim to be patriotic!) And then they got in to talking about how handsome and wonderful their mate Nigel is. They're politically unbiased you know? They said so many times and they wouldn't lie would they?

Maybe it's time for Channel 4 to take it on again. I think there's too much political influence in the BBC for it to work with them.

The BBC have said in a statement that they won't broadcast "high risk" bands in the future. So that'll be no interesting bands then. Maybe it's time for the BBC to let another broadcaster take it on, one who won't choose which lyrics might be too upsetting for us.

I just sorted through the tickets for upcoming shows and it's quite a lot. New Model Army Skindred Discharge / Conflict Airborne Svalbard Blood Incantation Arctangent Festival (Karnivool, Godspeed You Black Emperors, Melvins, Kylesa Tesseract, etc)

Dried on blood would be more authentic in my case.

I just bought a very nice carbon, full suspension mountain bike. Mrs XFR is not yet aware of this purchase. I may use her new clothes line of "this old thing? I've had this for years"

What was this bass Georgia South is playing here?

Suicidal were thrash / hardcore crossover so a bit of both.

Their bass sounded pretty decent to me.

The only one I watched which didn't sound good was Nova Twins. No bass at all

The biggest, greatest thing in metal is never the best. The most amazing bands will always be on the fringes doing something original that most people will never listen to.
