It's awful - it needs a much hotter iron to even get close. I bought a huge reel (probably a lifetime's supply) of the leaded stuff a few years ago.

so many covers - am I the only one in a non-cover band that posts video?

We've come across a few of those - a festival in Berlin a few years ago provided a kit with only 1 leg on the kick drum and no drum stool......we worked around it! -

Our drummer has no kit. He has cymbals, a snare and a snare pedal. He uses the kit provided in the rehearsal studio and borrows this if we have a UK gig - and we rent his kit with the backline locally for the non-UK gigs. I suspect he's parted with the least amount of gear cash over the years out of all 5 of us. -
Annoying singers and how bassists can deal with them
Twigman replied to Cat Burrito's topic in General Discussion
Why do i get the impression you're building up to something? Perhaps an exposé of a Basschat member? -

Tell me about it!!! I made a Warmoth PJ lined fretless a few years back.....it's been played probably for a total of about 10 minutes. I'm clearly no Jaco -

Do you never play chords* on your bass? By chords I mean notes on the D string and G string at the same time - 2 note 'chords' -

I would still have chosen bass but, having dabbled with synths and computers that might've got a look in. I had many ideas of how synths and samplers could be used but I didn't have the funds at the time to invest in all the frighteningly expensive gear that I needed - back in the early days of midi and using CV as well....many of 'my ideas' have subsequently been done - I'm pretty sure I invented psy-trance in about 1983 (in my mind)......the money required for the gear was what kept me on bass - it probably still would if I went back in time now, unless I could take a stinky poo load of cash with me. -
Why are so many metal/hard rock lyrics such merda?
Twigman replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
I know I've gone way off topic and the genre but one of my favourite meaningless lyrics is Numbers by Kraftwerk: Eins, zwei, drei, vier Fünf, sechs, sieben, acht Uno, dos Três, quatro One, two Ichi, ni, san, shi Adjin, dva, tri Li, tva, tri -

Don't get me wrong - I'm a huge Smiths fan - I'm not so keen on Mr Morrissey, the man, he's a silly billy but I did enjoy a Smiths lyric: His take on first love is great too: It's time the tale were told Of how you took a child And you made him old You made him old Reel around the fountain Slap me on the patio I'll take it now Oh Fifteen minutes with you Well, I wouldn't say no Oh, people said that you were virtually dead And they were so wrong Reel Around The Fountain - 1984 -

Whereas Mr Steven Patrick Morrissey was, I'm sure, 100% genuine in his : I go and I stand on my own, and I leave on my own, and I go home and I cry and I want to die - How Soon Is Now? 1984 The Smiths -

I know we don't fit the genre but on the topic of 'meaningless' lyrics let me present to you verse 1 and 2 of the SL&G song Close to the Sea - see if you can work out what inspired the lyric: Pinned to a day Striped like a cage Suits you in grey Made to withstand Too many plans Measured in sand -

If I worked in the benefits office I’d do too many drugs too sounds like an English Zappa crossed with 70s children’s TV themes to me

Thought I’d add another one - this song always leaves me feeling a little exposed and that it will all fall apart any second - I love playing it though. This rendition in a converted barn on an old dairy farm in the plains of Emilia Romagna Italy earlier this year....I give you 3 Lines

Do you consider reading music important?
Twigman replied to greghagger's topic in Theory and Technique
It may be a worthy skill but I'm convinced it would be of little value in my band. We communicate ideas by playing them to each other, yes we'll tell each other what key something might be in or as is more likely they'll ask me as they won't know (even their own ideas)......the conventions of music theory are not at the forefront of our minds, the overall aural effect is.- 115 replies
