I think every Monday he does a metal video.

Planets 1 & 2 - Vista Chino

Satellite - Lou Reed

Down in a hole - Alice In Chains

I don't think it's all that recent. He's done quite a few metal songs. He's always a good listen no matter what song it is. I would far rather listen to Doug than Rick Beato.

On Graveyard Hill - Pixies

Poison - Alice Cooper

Who is requesting Ken?

Bullet (train) with butterfly wings - Smashing Pumpkins

River Runs Red - Life Of Agony I completely forgot about them. Excellent band.

Inside - Stiltskin

Asphyxiate to resuscitate - Cannibal Corpse

I'm too ugly and old to get away with it. I can't play the accordion either but they sound bloody awful anyway so no one would notice that.

If everyone did the same thing music would be boring. I'm a big fan of Billy Gould. He seems to sound different on every record.

Whatever happened to them? Don't hear much of them these days.

I wouldn't be competing for that one

This Town - The Skints

No one seems to want a heavy rock / metal bassist in his 40s who can only rehearse once a week. Everyone seems to think they're going to be the next big thing.

I think very few of them look for someone available before posting a wanted ad. Searching through the wanted ads is a pain in the rectum because of all the ads with the all instruments option ticked so when you've filtered for metal bands looking for a 40+ year old bassist who can commit to weekly practice, half the ads that come up are actually looking for something completely different. I'm sure if I was a 20 year old female accordion player available to go touring with a electro pop duo I'd do much better.

I'm still having bass lessons (coz I'm rubbish) and my teacher plays with a band under his name but two thirds of his shows are just him with an acoustic guitar and he played all instruments on his record. I think the band are whoever is available from a group of several musicians he knows. In that case, it makes most sense to use his name instead of a band name.

I probably would go for a band simply called Nigel. Unless Colin were looking for a bassist.

Les Piles - Vanessa Paradis

That's true

I think the biggest problem I have is I don't like big egos. Musicians have to have a bit of an ego to stand on stage and play loud and expect people to enjoy it but for one member to put themselves above the others requires quite a large ego. I'm not sure I'd get on well with that person. What I like about a named band is everyone is equal and the name often gives a clue about what to expect. A band called Satanic virgin decapitation isn't going to be playing ballads. A band called Jesus's Friends will probably have some Christian content in their lyrics. A band called Nickelback will be terrible.

Counterfeit - Limp Bizkit Another I'm embarrassed to know
