The thing I deleted due to the filter was this.
A band I was in occasionally did gigs under the name of 'Colin and the W@nkers'
We'd start gigs by playing a chord then the singer would say" good evening, we are Colin and the w@nkers! Unfortunately Colin couldn't make it this evening..."
Then straight into the first tune
Lord Sausage was more an alter ego than a stage name. It's like my ego was to big for one man 😄.
He's retired now. It's sounds stupid but when I was that character it wasn't me, I just turned it on. He was like a perverted, punk, Captain Hook!
IIRC Cradle of filth had one member called Nicholas Bastard and a drummer called nasty pasty.
If I had a name like that I would definitely get a stage name.
I used them for the first time ever last week. Really helped me out. Answered all my questions on email and phone. Will definitely be using again in the future.
The pick up has arrived today and I've just ordered the loom from @KiOgon. Next up will be buying some springs for underneath the pick up and ordering machineheads. Hopefully I can get them both from Thomman.
