Yes thanks. Not only is he an awesome drummer. Tight, musical, experienced. He's a great singer so now our bv's sound like Queen. He has all is own gear, pa, lights, smoke machine. A total pro! Oh yeah and a cracking bloke!

I'd probably buy better pick ups too if I bought one. Wouldn't be sure what to get though!

I've thought about it but someone said its a bit hit n miss with the necks! Which kind of put me off!

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1451768105' post='2943329'] Hmmm... it's not that good I'm afraid... Hasn't aged well but by contrast ST has matured nicely... Wry, subtle and clever. Horses for course I guess but the Wogan thing was just embarrassing. I think for me, Ade Edmonson hasn't ever been funny outside of the Young Ones. [/quote] I'll disagree as the first two series of Bottom are legendary. I think Eddie hitter is a better character than Vivian!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1451735830' post='2942885'] Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. [/quote] At college we did a prog rock version of the rite. Only about 11 mins of it tho

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1451578509' post='2941660'] Ah yes. "The bass line doesn't go like that." comment. The answer is always "It does when I play it!" [/quote]ha ha, yeah!

Honestly, i would have told him to f*** off! What a prick! I got up at a jam night once and jammed Sweet Child o mine. It was the first tune I'd learned to play like 20 yrs earlier. I was just jamming on it, put some of my own stuff in but nothing detracting from the line. A guy come up to me and said "Quite good that, I'll show the exact part if you want" I told him to f*** off too!

me too!

[quote name='Shonks' timestamp='1451407603' post='2940250'] Maybe they can sight read music fluently which is a Iot more than most of bassists here....if we're talking about literacy [/quote] Maybe they can't!

I was on tour of a musical once and all the band were discussing their horror stories. My mate told how he was doing Panto somewhere and it was pretty high tech. The bass and strings and guitar etc were on track. Just drums and two keys live. All the score was on tablets and synced obviously. One night a few tunes in, he said over the PA you heard the windows shutting down motif and it all went off and there was just drums and vocals left playing. ha ha. excellent!

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1451341077' post='2939756'] I'm sure the band always has more fun than everyone else. Even with a score and having practiced your part the MD will always make adjustments on the fly, and there's always a bit of comping to do when the 'talent' goes off script or miss an entrance. [/quote]or shoots 1 and a half bars in front of the band!

Damn spellchecker its was meant to be harem

I've just remembered another one I wrote years ago titled Which one of you lucky girls will be invited to join my haram Though I have a feeling I may have nicked it from something

Do you have any weed? Can you skin up? If a train is travelling at 90 mph travelling west and enters a tunnel. If it's made by Delorean, will it travel through time? Will you marry me? If all four answers are yes, then I'd join!

My favourite Bass intro has to be Stairway to Heaven. I used to play it in a band years ago. It meant i could go and get a drink whilst the guitarists, singer and keys played for about 3 and half mins!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1450729446' post='2935346'] We had one called 'Spiders Ruined My Dong'. Also, 'Dracula Helps Us To Pee' and 'Bungalow Business'. That band folded for some reason. [/quote]That's a shame! It sounds like the perfect, high end, conceptual arty stuff I'm into!

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1450727580' post='2935321'] The actual term is [b]bestiality[/b]. It is frequently mispronounced, and consequently mis-spelled. [/quote] Actually, when we wrote Beastiality (not the one above) we knew this but thought if we were singing "bestiality" people might not know what we were on about. We realised most people said beastiality! So +1 to us smart arse bastards! Plus it's funnier and fit better!

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1450644313' post='2934591'] Back in early 80s a bass had two less strings than a guitar...... [/quote]And now a guitar has two more strings than a guitar!

Cos i wasn't quite a big enough Prick to be a guitarist!...............still a prick tho!

could be rehearsed! Poor kid could have pushy parents. It's alright having perfect pitch but to know all chord names etc he's obvs had some formal training. Poor bugger, his producer dad could be torturing him to learn theory. Bet he's never played football or ate dirt and worms in his life!
