  1. "Send the chamber pot back down the line, to be filled up again."
  2. Completely agree and would include the next album, Benefit. John Glascock's playing on Songs From The Wood is exceptional and makes it a seminal bass album for me.
  3. Has commonly been used live on bass for many decades.
  4. Mr. Big, Defying Gravity. Have there been any others?
  5. I genuinely don't know what this means. Have you got a tap in the car? Wouldn't rinsing damage the albums?
  6. It's 7/4. How about Have I Got News For You - great fun to play along with.
  7. Of course if they promoted videos of their songs with titles such as "Best song ever, all other bands SUCK", or "WTF is this drummer doing?!" They could make a full time living from Youtube.
  8. The "Kids" were and are of both genders and all sexual persuasions. Some of them may, or may not, have been trying to get boys.
  9. Adam is clearly very knowledgeable and articulate, however, he does resort to "this stuff". For example "My students are full of $@!& How to not suck at music". He's quite fond of having "Suck" in big letters in his video titles amongst other "Clickbait" style provocative wording.
  10. Imagine if someone based their choice of clothing on the advice of a load of bass players on an internet forum.
  11. Why is a minor second a semitone, when the second degree of a minor scale is a whole tone from the root?
  12. Duo = two people. I've never known a venue to specify which instruments may or may not be played. If you're not sure, get Roland to give them a call.
  13. [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1508605370' post='3393296'] Does it matter? But I would count it as something organised where you are 'on the bill' as it were. [/quote] It doesn't matter in the slightest, but it will be interesting/a bit of fun to read people's opinions.
  14. Albatross Green Onions Pick Up The Pieces Surfing With The Alien Frankenstein Moby Dick
  15. If you have an impromptu jam with your friends in front of the guests at a party in your home, is that a gig? What about if you play bass for a few songs at the local primary school's Christmas service? Playing in the band for a pantomime matinee and then again in the evening. Is that two gigs? Turning up and doing a couple of songs at a jam night. Is that a gig?
  16. In the tenth anniversary edition of Bass Player (1999), Karl Coryat predicted that bass guitar would no longer be used ten years from then.
  17. Practise without an amp and modify your technique until you can eliminate the noise, if it's really important to you.
  18. Beatles, Hendrix and Cream, since I wasn't born when they were going.
  19. [quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1505659632' post='3373390'] those dancers could've worn long skirts or pants if they didn't want people ogling them, seriously. they show their ass cheeks and dance sexy, how could they possibly complain. If you're gonna show me, I'm gonna look. If you don't want me looking, don't show me. all dancers now dance like strippers. [/quote] They didn't complain about anyone looking. Morons shouted out lewd comments and wolf whistled, they didn't just look.
  20. [quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1505621558' post='3373169'] are you just pretending to be outraged coz your GF is reading over your shoulder? why are there DANCERS at your rock gig? for males to ogle them, that's why. or else you're kidding yourself. [/quote] The post mentions wolf whistling and shouting of smutty comments. Very different to looking and keeping the thoughts in your head.
  21. [quote name='Yank' timestamp='1505553987' post='3372731'] This might not be politically correct, but if the female is wearing revealing, provocative outfits, isn't this the response they hope for? I doubt that can-can dancers in years past were expecting mere polite applause. [/quote] There is no mention in the original post of what they were wearing. We can't know what response they were hoping for without asking them (easy to do; in a few clicks I found their website). Whatever response they received, this is nothing to do with their outfits (Which, in the pictures I've seen are not "revealing"), but solely to do with the attitude of the responder and possibly the amount of alcohol they have consumed.
