Everyone should sue ed Sheehan as there is nothing worse than middle class white lads rapping in that Ellie Golding accent!

Why is he sat down? Why is the GnR reunion not original GNR?

Don't think I've ever quit a band but I have been fired from a band I wasn't in!

21 years and I've never really give a sh*t about my sound. I just plug in eq it for a min or two until it's workable. Then played.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1459882397' post='3020597'] Yes, definitely. And I like the fact you can sometimes just pluck something out of the air and there it is, a brilliant musical idea. [/quote] That is great when that happens!

Can any of you get fulfilled just by listening to music, experiencing it? I gig a lot at different levels, pub, musical theater tours, originals etc. I compose. However, I can just put on a great piece of music (musically interesting not just a pop song) i.e Rite of Spring, Kuru/Speak like a child etc and just listen and enjoy it's complexity and beauty and realise how great music is. How its just a natural occuring phenomenon that we manipulate and do amazing things with and that fulfills me! I think of it like the Force in Star Wars! Man! I need to stop smoking so much weed!

You kind of knew who would be number one before you read it, eventhough Rolling Stone famously hated zep. Obviously these lists are bollocks but it was good to see Bozzio and Hal Blaine so high in the list! Pro drummers i know would be mortified that Steve Gadd was so low!

Frank gambale-taking a long time to say nothing!

We had to wait for the football to finsh last night before we could start. I was buzzing! Meant I could watch the game!

David Lee Roth. Not a great singer but sings great!

Everyone in my band is early or mid thirties. Our drummer who joined last year is 54.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1458492263' post='3008016'] I don't anymore, stopped gigging years ago, thank f***. [/quote]ha ha

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1458491215' post='3008003'] I never hated any of the sh*t jobs I've had as much as I hated playing in bands. [/quote]Ha ha! Why do it then!?

[quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1458475939' post='3007834'] Hi all Had another storming gig last night. Place was full, everybody rocking, good night all round. However, had someone come up to me again and ask 'why don't you smile on stage, you look like you don't want to be there?'. Now I have had this said many times before, usually it's 'why do you look like you're about to jump off stage and hit somebody?'. People who know me know that I'm a pretty fun loving guy who enjoys a good laugh, but it really is starting to concern me that punters who haven't seen us before just think 'it's that band with the miserable bass player'. I do try to show that I'm enjoying myself, it's just that I'm blessed with one of those faces which has a default look of disinterest! Mean and moody, I'm doing very well. Any tips? [/quote]Ecstacy, cocaine, strong weed!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1458477045' post='3007848'] Next time somebody says that ask them if they smile constantly when they are doing their job. [/quote]I doubt there job would be as much fun as playing in a band!

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1458059993' post='3004288'] ?? [/quote]Should i explain?

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1458031178' post='3003950'] Why does the other thread have more replies? [/quote]Why does either have any?

I dance/move/groove a bit when i play but not like that. I say we should make a pact and all dance like this at every gig we do! Who's in!?

As in a rock, grunge, britpop type thing. Do you get lots of gigs? Good reception etc? I've been asked to start one with some people so just checking out experiences.

Tunnel of Love was my fave pic

Neil Murray is one of my first and biggest influences. Which when you consider i started playing when i was 14 in 1993! A teenager in Grunge times! Is remarkable! This is probably my favourite line! It's just cool as f***, groovy, heavy, melodic. Everything you need to play bass! http://youtu.be/t_uUQ3j1KFw

[quote name='neilmurraybass' timestamp='1457432071' post='2998382'] I can see I'll have to do a note-for-note demonstration! Although when I've played it in the last 15 years, I've tried to stick to the recorded version, when I recorded the song the fills were just improvised, so on another take they would have been different. If it's played too fast, which is often the case, some of the fills become impossible to play properly, which is frustrating. Although I am not an expert jazz, blues or funk player, I had enough of those influences to bring some of that to my rock playing, particularly in 1978-82 Whitesnake, as the songs allowed for interesting bass parts. When the songs don't permit that style of playing, which is mostly the case, I have to be more straight-ahead.
