    He's a bit of an old punk. Having the fanciest, most expensive instrument wouldn't suit him. I'm not convinced you'd even hear the difference between a Mexican P bass and the top level US P bass in a heavy rock mix anyway. No one other than a bassist would ever notice the difference anyway

    I'm about 15 miles from the Pilton Pop Festival site. I just went out in the garden and I can hear bass guitar and drums pretty clear tonight.

    Duff sings better than Axl. He's doing a great job and without Axl the band seem to have come alive. The TV Eye cover is great

    Axl keeps missing the first half of each line (lyrics, not the others). Just like the old days.

    Duff looks like Keith Richards dad

    The years have not been kind to GNR. Axl is terrible

    We've decided to add a couple covers to our set insurance original metal band. Easy set filler we thought so we worked out a stoner metal version of maniac from flashdance (an obvious choice) and a punky version of Paranoid by Sabbath. Paranoid is about as easy as it gets. Every beginner rock guitarist and bassist learns it so why the hell am I playing it so badly? It should be the easiest song in our set. Anyone else have trouble with a beginner standard tune?

    He's really good. Seems like part of the band already. Anyone who's going to drum for Dave Grohl has to be really good. I thought Daves daughter gave a pretty solid performance as well.

    Maybe they keep her quiet for a reason

    I've seen them a couple times. They're really good live. Benji can really get a crowd going.

    Not sure who I just watched, some pop group. The guitarist wasn't quite up to the job, he played the worst guitar solo I've heard in a long time. The whole solo sounded flat, possibly in the wrong key.

    Ricks were the bass of choice in the 90's indie and grunge bands and that sound seems to be coming back. Los Bitchos were excellent, bit punky and a bit grungy. No idea what their bass or guitars were, all weird things

    Eminem has been around Frome the last week. My daughter served him a burger, he was polite. Maybe he'll show up somewhere at the festival.

    Rock singers don't need a great voice. Lemmy was technically a bad singer but he was possibly the greatest front man ever

    That's a good idea. I want some special fungi

    I saw them on their first tour and they were amazing live. Watching them now on TV, they have lost that energy they used to have. I'll agree with your meh

    McCartney is there. Side of the stage watching Foo Fighters

    There are literally hundreds of food sellers and just about every type of food you can imagine. Buy some chips within a hundred yards of the pyramid field and you will pay an extortionate price for a small portion of terrible chips. Walk another 5 minutes and you'll get some amazing jerk chicken with rice and peas for less. There are so many food sellers that they're quite competitive away from the big stages

    I've seen them a few times and they're great BUT the three hour set with 45 minutes of acoustic material in the middle was too long and killed the energy in the middle of the set. They are one of the rock greats though up there with the very best. Was that Paul McCartney on the balcony above the stage?

    I thought he played with fingers but seems to be using a pick now.

    Playing to a crowd the size Foo Fighters are playing to would cause some underwear soiling. I'm a bit nervous about playing to one hundred next month and there's probably a thousand times that number there

    The P bass is the standard. Boring, functional, gets the job done. I insisted I'd never have one because they're so common. I currently have 3 basses, all Fender P basses
  23. SteveXFR
    Dave Grohl has been spotted back stage so I'm guessing it's the Foo Fighters. Unless it's Them Crooked Vultures. Josh Homme is there. John Paul Jones has been spotted local yesterday.

    I saw a recent picture of Axl Rose and he looks just like Mina Caputo (Life of Agony).
  25. SteveXFR
    I'll put a fiver on it not being Axl Rose. Elton is a bit of a fan of noisier rock music though. I'll guess Dave Grohl will be one of Eltons guests.
