Too recent a memory for me

Not going to unsee that now 🫤

Shame they've gone authentic and kept that hideous headstock!

Thanks for that @solo4652 - one to explore further.

Just watched. Very enjoyable, thanks for posting @JJTee

Nice work @wateroftyne. Importantly, the singers have got 'believable' voices, essential for this band!

Lyrics on album artwork (remember those...) and even official publisher's sheet music often have discrepancies to what is actually sung on original recordings, so I'd not expect any internet sources to be fully accurate. Pretty sure from my record company days that a recording will be enough to copyright the lyrics. I don't think anyone has ever tried to get away with copyright infringement based on these discrepancies.

If I had to switch between Duff and Jamerson I'd be having serious words with whoever puts the set list together 🤨

Basswood is absolutely fine as a body. The only reason it isn't more popular is that it isn't great to look at, so is primarily used under solid finishes. Weight compares closely to alder.

I looked through a list of 50 acts and thought I recognised one - Modest Mouse. But then I realised this wasn't the bloke that wrote Night on Bare Mountain.

That's bl00dy great.

Shouldn't that question be why, not where? Some of these updates read more like posts - really don't get it

Love this ^

This list includes a Hendrix track!!! https://www.guitarworld.com/features/greatest-rock-songs-with-no-solo

OK, may have found a contender. Funky from a rock perspective (RHCP, Living Colour vibe), Ocean Colour Scene Riverboat Song. I like the use of the accent on the 5.

Sinister - I hope you're not hoping to get people dancing a Viennese Waltz to it 😏

Higher Ground is in 4/4. Does have a 12/8 feel in places though.

Just seen myself on camera 😎

Ah, common problem for some of us. I used to play in a band covering a lot of Dylan and similar style material. Sometimes a helpful landlord would try and set the scene and as we were setting up we would have to hastily rearrange the set list. Good job we had plenty of material!

Pretty sure Nitro Mors is not available to the general public any more. The stuff that they can sell in places like B&Q are less than useless.

I'd be interested to know what rights these players are selling. If that's for a commercial release then those prices are very cheap. Liked the second guy's take on it with the tapping. Very neat.

Padded soft case. Just remember how high above your head it is if you wear it like a backpack!

I think he'll happily let you use it for the next few years

My last band incorporated the singer's name (our original drummer suggested that). I guess she will keep that one in perpetuity! My feeling is that if you are covers or blues covers then the name should give a bit of a clue as to what you do. Originals, it is all about branding. Band leader/originator should keep it unless someone else from the band came up with it.

Been some interesting people covering this, from Phoebe Snow to Bernie Marsden. I do like the way Delbert Clinton merges two genres that rarely get seen together, Country and Funk, in his version.
