Going to gigs. What do you love or hate about it?
Rich replied to ubit's topic in General Discussion
I do much the same. I try to get reasonably close to the desk so i can get a good sound. At one gig, I forget whose, I spent more time watching the sound and lighting engineers than the band. -
My Name Is - Eminem

I remember playing a Washburn AB34 acoustic bass many years ago and being absolutely blown away by it. Probably the best ABG I've ever played.
-
That just makes his attitude towards you worse.

What makes a poor bassist? Bad timing; poor communication; overplaying; an inability to recognise that he's overplaying and stop doing it.
-
To which the answer would be, "c'mon then fckface, let's hear you sing and play". I don't blame you for being miffed.

Tears Dry on Their Own - Amy Winehouse

Sister Sarah - It Bites

Only up until they discovered tea. They went a bit weird after that.

We did this in a previous band I was in, but our female lead singer subtly rewrote the lyrics so the message was more of a 'you don't have to be a good girl, you don't have to do anything you don't want, and if he doesn't like it tell him to feck off'. I don't know if the punters noticed ,but once she'd done that I was quite happy to play it!

OK, I've got to ask... why is it?

Songs that are bangers... that aren't sung in English

Does patois count as 'not English'? -
Couldn't resist

Lori Black, Brent Ashley. Also: Steve Gadd, Carl Perkins, Gerard Way, Hannah Gordon, Hugh Hefner, Dennis Quaid, Lenny 'Guvnor' McLean, Seve Ballasteros, Jacques Villeneuve, and the god-like Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Also, Concorde 002 made its maiden flight on my birthday so perhaps I could include that on the list?

Watched a set by Sophie Ellis-Bextor at Bath's Pub in the Park yesterday. At first I thought she might be lip-syncing, but it turns out she's just very good. Her band were on fire too. They did an excellent version of Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' and the bassist (her husband I think? She called him Richard at one point, seems like a coincidence) absolutely nailed Guy Pratt's sublime octaved part on the original.

Whoops hoist by their own petard! I want to hear song 3 though.

It's a party/picnic in the park thing, everyone is sat on the grass. it's a decent size crowd and they're going down very well.

We kinda take the pss out of the whole thing. Our frontman does something like this: "This is our last song... [Disappointed noises from audience] oh come on, how many gigs have you been to? You know how this works; we finish this song, walk off, cram ourselves into the tiny little area backstage, you yell for more, we come back and do another couple. So yes, this is our errm last song..."
