Smashing! Time even for a cheeky pint afterwards!

How long was the set roughly? I too am having minor journey home concerns...

TONIGHT

I was watching that on Ebay, congrats!

Sweet Soul Music. HATE HATE HATE IT. We still play Mustang Sally at weddings as it always goes down a storm, without fail.

[url="http://www.casimages.com/i/150901125726832098.jpg.html"][/url] i'm pretty curious about the improvement in ergonomics compared with original ones: 34-inch scale, better balance due to heavier body, neck seems a little larger after 12th fret too. Can't wait ! [/quote] What is this beauty?!

When Geddy was in his Wal phase, he used them exclusively both on stage and in the studio as far as I can tell.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1441061322' post='2855837'] Pawn Hearts - Van Der Graaf Generator. [/quote] I've always thought that album was held in very high regard. At least in the prog community.

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1441036150' post='2855531'] California by Mr Bungle. Incredible and weird album. Fantastic from start to finish in my books. [/quote] It certainly deserves to be better known, but everyone who does know it seems to recognise it as the wonder that it is. Patton's finest work, if you ask me.

Metallica - St Anger. Seriously.

Get an MB500 - it has a boost control giving you the GK grit at any volume.I think with the bigger GKs volume is the only way - maybe a Marshall Power Break would help?

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1440883290' post='2854586'] In the gospel according to Paul Gambacini (on Radio 2 just now) today is the anniversary of The Beatles last ever live show in 1966, not counting the Apple roof. This means that the "known" line-up gigged for a little over 4 years. [/quote] Have a look at their live history up to that point. More than most manage in a lifetime.

Damn good I thought. Better than Glastonbury, although that was in a way more of a triumph - Reading's almost home turf for them these days. Trujillo's bass solo was agonising. So bad it broke BBC4. But luckily they played it again for us straight after.

Just sold Adam my Dunlop bass wah. Top bloke, easy to deal with, and very understanding when I hit a postage-related hiccup along the way. But all's well that ends well and I hope Adam's life is now just that little bit funkier.

I feel honoured to be the one to officially pop Scoop's Basschat cherry by selling him my Burgundy Mist Jazz. How he's been on here so long without previously succumbing to wicked temptation is an example to us all. It was a pleasurable deal throughout and I'm very happy the Jazz has found a loving home. Bravo!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1440706247' post='2853207'] I you weren't there it would be very difficult to be a fan.

Faith no More - Sol Invictus Torche - Restarter I'm not really 'getting' either if I'm honest... Currently falling back on Strapping Young Lad's Alien which fills me with absolute joy and also makes me weep for the utter toss Dev is putting out these days...

Welcome fellow Kent-dweller!

[quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1440403679' post='2850285'] We have a gig like this where the dance floor is the route out and they have decks going after the band has finished. You strangely pray for a quiet night so you can get out unharmed!!! [/quote] My old band used to have a regular gig at a venue like this. It was the only place for miles so would be packed with metallers until the bands finished and then within the space of about 5 minutes the place would empty and re-fill with locals out for the DJ. Of course this all started while we were still packing our stuff away so to escape we had no choice but to cross the dance floor. Now due to the volume levels a verbal 'excuse me' was pointless so a light tap or bump usually did the trick. One time this bloke refused to move, apparently. I had the right hump by now so I simply proceeded to barge through with my 810, expecting him to get the message. Instead I soon realised I was pushing the guy along the dance floor to various screams of horror and protest. Turns out the chap was disabled, on crutches and simply couldn't get out of the way quick enough. Luckily he wasn't hurt and saw the funny side. I apologised profusely and bought him a drink, then drove home feeling utterly wretched.

What are we doing here? What kind of people are they?!
