  1. Mondo Generator are worth seeing if you get the chance. They play a load of their own stuff plus the Kyuss songs he recorded and they're really good. Nick and the band are pretty cool as well, they hang out with the fans before and after and watch support bands from the crowd as well.
  2. Sadly it'll never happen again. Josh and the rest of the band don't get on. I was lucky enough to see Kyuss, Kyuss Lives and Vista Chino and all were incredible.
  3. I remember seeing Kyuss live and Brant Bjork was quite obviously on some strong psychedelics, he was on another planet. His playing was absolutely solid although he did over play a few songs. Ive also seen Sleep when Al Cisneros was obviously tripping and Matt was stoned but I think thats normal for them and it kind of worked but they went of on some pretty wild jams. I think most of the audience was high as well.
  4. All Fender guitars and basses with an indestructible finish that cannot be relic'd. Its an unacceptable fashion that must be stopped.
  5. People who set the volume at odd numbers that aren't multiples of 5. What's wrong with them? They need locking up. My daughter set the TV volume to 7 so I disowned her immediately.
  6. Tone graphene of course.
  7. Marshall to make an exact replica of Lemmy's Murder One and sell it for a price I can afford. A portable guitar stand that doesn't fall over regularly. A budget range from Rickenbacker with the same electronics as the full price models but cheaper woods and a bolt on neck.
  8. There will be nothing post 1995 in the top 20. Not because music before then was better but because the average listener is old and suspicious of anything modern.
  9. I know someone who's bagpipes were blown up by the bomb squad. That didn't help sustain but made their least unpleasant sound.
  10. That was used as a pleasant fragrance to offset the stench of the band.
  11. Does anyone make a pick guard for a BB1100S?
  12. I forget who but there's a black metal band who carry around rotting goat carcasses in flight cases and have them open on stage every night. Apparently by the end of the tour they absolutely stink and are full of maggots. Its like well kvlt. I don't get how anyone can parody metal, its all serious and sensible
  13. Maybe it depends on the bass. Ive only used them on active basses. Ibanez SRMS805 and Spector Euro 4
  14. I do. They're great if you play in a metal band and need a nasty, clanky tone to cut through two heavily distorted, low tuned guitars. Probably not ideal for motown or reggae
  15. I went to a jam session once where three of the guitarists and a drummer were on cocaine. The noodling was never ending. Solos that went nowhere and drum beats that made no sense in the context of what everyone was playing. It was like YouTube playing taken to the extreme.
  16. Creativity probably depends a lot on the drug. Maybe mushrooms or LSD could help the creative process while crystal meth or heroin probably won't. Im no expert on this. I smoked the odd joint in my early twenties and thats the limit of my experience.
  17. In the past, drugs were a big thing in music. I don't want to get in to whether thats good or bad but it certainly influenced the creative process. Is that still a thing? Now that bands don't have huge piles of excess cash and they have to treat it as a business rather than a long party, are they being more sensible and sober about it?
  18. He's wearing a Slayer t shirt, what a poser. A real metal head would wear a shirt with a completely indeciperible logo and deeply offensive slogan. Im not sure too much weed is possible in certain sub genres of metal. I went to an Electric Wizard gig and there was no smoke machine but I couldn't see more than two feet and had severe cravings for chilli heatwave Dorritos
  19. Education didn't really work for me when I was young. I failed just about every GCSE but then blagged my way in yo an apprenticeship and managed to achieve a distinction in every subject at college while my mates got drunk at lunch time and smoked weed and chatted up the hair and beauty girls. I also managed a grade A in A level maths in my 30's after getting a D in my GCSE. There's probably no single education plan to suit everyone and I don't think intelligence should ever be judged based on qualifications.
  20. Our last cat had absolutely no personality so she was called Tiddles because it was the most generic, unimaginative cat I could think of. One of our dogs is Roxy because the rescue home named her. The other is Vinny because he was really weedy and scared of everything so I went for a tough sounding dog name. He's still scared of everything.
  21. Cyclists who keep their helmet on while sat in a cafe. Are they expecting something to fall on their head? They do look a bit "special". Maybe its a mating thing, maybe the female cyclist sees your S-Works helmet and is attracted by it while the man in the Giro helmet gets no action. Its only lycra wearing road cyclist, Ive never seen mountain bikers or leisure cyclists leave their helmets on in cafes. Im a mountain biker, my helmet and gloves come off as soon as I've stopped.
