He's using two hands. Unacceptable!

[/quote] To be fair to him, they had to stop this tour early because he lapsed back into drink and drug addiction problems. This is from the reunion tour with DLR around 2007. In the preceeding 20 odd years that Sammy hagar was in the band they had been playing it in a different key. but he should have realised, probably too f***ed.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1434858859' post='2803340'] It is strange isn`t it, I`ve seen some bands whose sound has been appalling, yet as they`ve played songs the punters knew, have gone down incredibly well. I sometimes wonder if we try and take it too far, getting all the sounds right etc, given this, but I`d never be happy in a band that had a bad sound (though given the racket my lot make this statement may be viewed as a trifle daft). [/quote] I think people do go too far some times!

[quote name='blamelouis' timestamp='1434933391' post='2803978'] Couldn't believe how bad.... It is scary bad. Anybody else think EVH'S statement that he doesn't listen to music disconcerting? So many phenomenonal musicians telling us the most important tools are your ears. [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1434964950' post='2804135'] Yes, I do, very much so! Our drummer stopped listening to recordings made after around 1982, 'because I don't want to be influenced by anything'. I find that disconcerting too. More and more he is getting on my tits. Trouble is, he's good! Also people like Simon Cowell, Noel Edmonds et al, who don't have proper record collections, don't listen to music as a recreational activity and allegedly don't even have the means to play music in the house... anyway, I digress... EVH is a twat. [/quote] It's a load of bollocks. i read an interview with Slash where he says eddie complemented on his playing on appetite, in that interview he says he's unaware of there music. The guy is a prick. He's a concert trained pianist who went to music college. He said he can't read music. It's just bullshit to get cred that he ain't schooled. I read an interview years ago when he talked about scoring out an arrangement for some thing at college. Harrd to do if you don't read. I love Roth era VH. Even the last one the other year is quite good. The fact that they don't like each othr i think brings out a fire in them. Makes it rock. Hagar era was a cliched cheese fest with retarded lyrics. Hagar thinks he's one of the greats. Evh is great but a massive prick. The fact that DLR comes out on top in personality competition with those two says more about them than DLR. (Who i think is underated as a lyricist, has his own style)

Today I'm mostly being a bitch as my back is killing me!

You could replace them with any old bollocks really! However, the best way would be to get a band who have a song that rocks a little bit or is soft in the verse. Then a chorus that rocks a little bit more. Repeat, then do the last chorus but with shouting. You could even maybe go really quiet for a little bit before the shouting. Then repeat this formula in every song choosing which type of verse you want and whether to have a quiet bit before the shouting.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1434590384' post='2801057'] Presumably you couldn't hear it, not just because it's way below the audible frequency for humans, but because as space is a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound to travel through..? [/quote] In the link I posted it mentions how sound travels as electromagnetic vibrations, so you need special equipment to listen to it. But yeah also cos it's below our frequencies of hearing. Although my wife's voice is lower than that when she wakes up some mornings. Ha ha. I'm dead if she reads this!

As the title says! Check it out! Don't expect symphonies or breakbeats though! [url="http://thespiritscience.net/2015/06/15/nasa-discovers-planets-and-stars-give-off-music-this-is-what-it-sounds-like/"]http://thespiritscie...it-sounds-like/[/url]

Got two wrong. Put minor ninth instead of second. Schoolboy error really. Didn't know the last one.

Waiting!

Just tell him! Jesus christ! Bands are better being balls out honest if you want to improve. We are ruthless with each other in my band. So much so it doesn't seem harsh any more we just laugh at it.

We had a great. He didn't use his left hand, no bass notes. So he didn't get in the way. Said his left hand was for smoking and drinking, his right for playing. He thought most keyboard players got in the way. He wouldn't just hold chords on in string sounds in originals, he just wouldn't play if he thought it didn't need it. He would listen to what the gtrs were doing and dance around them, musically. Also he was a genius. Unfortunately he got ME/CFS and packed it in, I tell him he's a lazy bastard and just can't be arsed. We replaced him with a Roland gtr synth as we knew we couldn't find another player like that so one of the gtr players just puts some synth in when needed.

Tommy Bolin on Geet innit!?

I don't think you're a pompous twat. I should know....I am a pompous twat! Anyway, if you thought he played too many notes and didn't like it, that's up to you. I wasn't a great fan of it. Sure it was great playing, brilliant. Just not enough fire for me.

This more my kind of thing with regards to funky, 16th note machine gunning! Ass kicking, exciting. The song, not just the bass playing! [media]http://youtu.be/tdZZt9jd6v0[/media]

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1431774190' post='2774815'] let me start again. sorry about my post. wasn't what i intended LS. as for my OP. i was talking about a guy in with the best intentions. its ok to have an opinion about someone, without it the dreaded "criticise" word coming into it. [/quote] No problem, and fair enough!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1431772450' post='2774786'] i get bored of country and western. doesn't mean i can't find something inspirational about the music with new artists.. that attitude says more about the person than the music. [/quote] Who's saying that? Am i not allowed to get bored easily by hearing the same kind of thing over and over! If something inspirational is in there then you'll pick it up. It depend on what inspires you really. With regards to attitude saying something about the person........ well your post says a lot! Plus you're criticising a guys playing and just expressing himself in the vid! What does that say with regards to person rather than the music!

I get bored of this genre quite quickly nowadays. I used to be quite into it, but after a while all these bands sound exactly the same. The songs sound the same, the sound of the group, etc. It's just a bit formulaic. It could be Jamiroquai, Incognito etc etc. Just with a different vocalist.....who all sing the same kind of melodies. I kind of feel the same about reggae.

I didn't know Steve wright played bass!

I've toured musical theatre in theatres of up to two and a half thousands. With regards to tours buses, at first it is really cool. You feel a bit rock star. It soon wears off especially sleeping on thin mattresses in stacked coffins. It is fun and exciting playing the venues. If you are a geek like me each venue and it's history is interesting. I've played stages that deep purple played and laurel and hardy. Pretty cool. I have wife and kids. It doesn't take long to miss them. I enjoy going to different parts of the country and checking them out. The money is quite good but you do spend a lot of it whilst touring. So it has it's ups and downs.

My brother stripped down his Squier strat and wanted me to respray it as I'd done it a few times during the trials and tribulation of my first and only refin/mod. I had loads of grief doing that. Anyway he has bought the paint for me to use, it's molotow stuff. I sanded the body to 320 grit then used the primer. I assumed it would be fine as i imagined the squier body wouldn't be a posh wood that needed grain filling. A full bottle later and in most places i could still see the grain. The only previous experience I've had with spray paint was nitro. With this molotow stuff (its graffitti paint, i assume acrylic) If i sprayed more would it go on smooth, or will it keep absorbing? Will i have to strip back and grain fill?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1431103940' post='2767872'] For me, his approach to bass lines is very much like McCartney, a melody in themselves. Every time I listen to Abba, its like being given a lesson in pop perfection, as a group, including the peripheral musicians involved, they have to be in my top 3 songwriters ever. [/quote] You know what that's the best way I've heard them decribed. I've always felt that but without putting it like that.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1431116507' post='2768034'] I don't know what VE Day is,however we return to The Fox Den Saturday Night. Blue [/quote] Victory in Europe Day. World War 2

[quote name='DiceSociety' timestamp='1430922148' post='2765967'] Glad to be of some sort of help. I know what you mean though, I think it's something most people do instinctively without being aware of it, depending on the feel of the song. I remember when I first started playing bass, I was in a rock band, and I would try to make the songs sound exciting, and without realising at the time, I was playing a smidge ahead of the beat. Probably something not to get too bogged down with IMO. [/quote] Possibly the best posts in this thread
