  1. No, but it helps if they're memorable (again, this is all IMO). He has plenty that start well but he tends to fizz out into a flurry of notes.
  2. Agree re: his rhythm playing. I'm an absolutely HUGE fan of the band, but it saddens me to say that - to me, anyway - Alex's solos are generally forgettable.
  3. I'm waiting for someone to buy that black Status Kingbass. If it's replaced by something natural, there'll be a beige full house on the home page!* *Yes, I do have too much time on my hands.
  4. It sounds like a right clart on to me. Just buy the amp that gives you the sound you like….
  5. What blows my mind a little bit is how fast music evolved back then. Ten years prior to Moving Pictures, your average prog fan might have been dropping the needle onto the newly-released Nursery Cryme by Genesis. Stylistically & sonically, that’s a massive leap. These days, nowt really changes in 10 years.
  6. I’ve been saying this for years and years, and I’m used to being roundly mocked for it it. I feel vindicated now 🙂
  7. Not me. I've kept cabs pretty constant throughout.
  8. Welcome to my world. I realised this years ago that consumer power modules are lacking (IMO) and nothing has changed my mind yet. It’s Diet Coke vs Full Fat Coke.
  9. IMO the only really bad thing about the remasters is the rebooted cover artwork. Relentless travesties.
  10. I'm looking forward to them all up to Counterparts. After that... meh
  11. Listening now, I can kinda hear what you're getting it, but only if I think about it....
  12. Mind, on the live set... the notes Geddy's playing with the bass pedals on Natural Science are a bit odd, and makes it sound almost jaunty.
  13. The live set is brilliant. It smokes ESL...
  14. Explain yourself, Johnson!
  15. Ah, I love Simple Red. 'Don't you (Forget About Holdin' Back the Years)' is a banger.
  16. Of course, but I suspect Mr. Mason isn't a man who likes to create choppy waters (sic).
  17. I'm guessing (and glad) Mr. Gilmour gave them his blessing to do Echoes, 'cos I know he decided to retire it after Rick's passing out of respect. I didn't think I'd hear any of the band do it ever again. So tempted to get tickets for Newcastle...
  18. A little bit of flat fun with my '71 and La Bella 760FL's. Love that bass and those strings.
  19. What is.... 'Legit music'?
  20. I’ve spent most of my career with - in the main - great musicians who don’t necessarily read, but know what sounds good. Maybe I’m just lucky?
  21. Let me know if it was, @Ricky Rioli…
  22. It is, and it was. If anyone wants to know about it, let me know.
  23. My old one. https://youtu.be/rsTP543lpqQ
  24. Meh.. not for me. I'm sure he'll do well with it, tho.
