Slipnowt are an excellent tribute band from the North East.

Dethklok

Watched the first one, thankfully recorded the second one so we could just whizz to the singing and revealing, managed to reduce the whole this to 10 mins.

Bearing in mind it is a year away and they have 150+ bands playing, the have annouced.. Judas Priest Sosom Mercyful Fate Amon Amarth Death Angel Sick of it All Venom

Finally managed to get a ticket for Wacken, another one ticked off the bucket list, well it will be when I go....so looking forward to this, just a year to wait!!

Dava Control, works like a think or a thin depending on thumb position. The only pick I have ever felt comfortable plaing bass with.

Posh Practise we call it

Ah The Venue, about the same size as an aircraft seat but my favourite place of all time. During the 90's I must have seen every metal band there was play there, was a wonderful time.

In the same vein as I "could" drive to work in a Dacia, but would rather take the Merc.

I've used a Laney RIchter rig for years, after Ashdown, Hartke and Trace rigs. Only the Trace rig sounded as good tbh but that was borrowed so had to give it back.

Exhorder - The band Pantera ripped off when they moved away from glam.

Such a delight to watch, it really was.

My first amp a million years ago was a Laney, recently bought a full rig, all Laney. I have tried most makes but just seem to get the right tone for me out of a Laney.

Dava control pics for me. Not the easiest to find but worth seeking them out.

[quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1463048386' post='3048038'] In the swagger of my (long departed) youth, I was 18, had just played iconic (and also sadly departed) Venue in Edinburgh for the first time and so full of myself I was probably a right annoying twonk. By agreement with the venue staff, we had left some gear there after the gig, so I wandered down the next day to pick it up. Went in, noticed some random guitarist guy on stage setting up and sound-checking. Asked if he minded if I went on stage to get my gear, and he was most obliging. It wasn't until I was leaving and looking one more time at the posters outside to bask in the glory of seeing my band's name up there that I realised who it had been on stage... Midge Ure. [/quote] Ah, the Edinburgh Venue, size of an airplane seat but it was awesome!!

Paintjob sounds interesting, but personally relicing it is like painting rust on a new car to make it seem older and used, I just dont get it.

Don't forget Laney....

Added my 2p worth....

The Metalica gig from the night before "too heavy for halftime" was soooo much better.... Enjoyed the game as well.

Just wow...

Not sure if too late but the Rock Cafe Halford is a cracking place....

As a militant athiest nothing I can say would be of any consructive help. I just hope you dont regret your decision for too long....

I am very much of the opinion that a relic'd bass should be earned, not bought. So I think that it was a nice bass ruined......

I managed to get tickets from Glasgow... Not a big Prince fan really but scored MAJOR brownie points as the better half has wanted to see him for years and never managed it....
