They used to put out a special edition Closet Classic Pro every year. My first Maruszczyk Jake came about because I had mad GAS for the 2011 (see below), but I couldn't afford one, so I specc'd it from Adrian instead. The 2012 was similar but in Oly white. When they announced the 2013, I thought it was horrid.

Handbox. Leave it flat, off you go.

As much as I adore ‘em, Neil’s lyrics missed more than hit IMO. Having said that, as clunky as Limelight is, he was being brutally honest.

Glad it’s sorted!

I suspect a Daniel O’Donnell revival is just around the corner.

…who’s probably on the ‘To cancel’ list anyway, given his history 😄

To be fair, when we’re listening to music we’re largely excluding deaf people.

My goodness.. if that's how you feel, don't ever join a folk band. The lyrics to half of those tunes will give you nightmares.

Oh yes - that’s a classic cover. Forgot that one. Good record, too - starting to get into that one.

Unexpected...?

The only thing that could top some of these is if someone like, I dunno, Charlie Drake made a record with Peter Gabriel, Sandy Denny, Robert Fripp, Phil Collins, Percy Jones and Keith Tippett. Oh, wait...

It was Proclamation that started the ball rolling, specifically the brilliant fan video that I clicked on by accident. I was, like, ‘what the hell’s this??’, and off I went. Enjoyed The Power and the Glory (even the title track which I don’t think the band are very keen on) and getting into Free Hand at the moment. Terrible album sleeves though (apart from The Power and the Glory which is mint). Quite looking forward to getting into the later years. The unpopular stuff is always interesting…

Hey gang Gentle Giant have completely passed me by until recently. I'm now starting to chip away at the catalogue, and I really like some of it. I've always been fascinated with the history and musical evolution of bands - even those I don't really like - and GG's seems to be more interesting than most. Lots to take in, most of it bonkers. And what a rhythm section, eh?

It’s tradition - just a bit of theatre. The Wobbly Eggs should learn to relax a bit.

We’ll, maybe DG are the exception. If they are, good on them. Do we know which power modules they’re using?

I’m just suspicious of all class D wattage ratings, and how they relate to the real world. It’s just marketing, ain’t it.

I’m not saying it’s not loud enough.

Quite.

I’d like to see the evidence that what they have written in their manual is true.

I stand by my comment.

900w. Lol.

Ah man... that's outrageous. I hope you get it - or your money - soon. 😞

Are other drummers available?
