That's the only maiden album I like. Song writing is very good on that album.

Current Production techniques, what not to do, what things are popular by examining things common to each record. Performance notes

Maybe you don't have to get into this subjective, what I like, sales figures, my dad's bigger than your dad stuff. I think he's just saying if you actually listen to things with an open mind you can pick things up that may help you, teach you, improve you or spark ideas. You don't have to like the stuff. I don't think he's saying you have to like everything.

A bit of funk here

You'll be telling me the pope is protestant next!

Hit it a few times then scream at it. That usually works

I gave up after 9999 and a half hours. I decided it wasn't for me!

I'm gonna nominate one of the players who has had most influence on me it's hard to say which one the most but I'm gonna go with Neil Murray. Probably overlooked for the un-trendy band he main work was with. Tasty playing on this.

Many years ago I disappeared down a wattage rabbit hole in the Amps and cab section. It was very enlightening. The main thing I learned I wattage doesn't mean volume. Learned all sorts about ohm's, matching cabs, speaker sizes, dispersion etc. It's worth a go

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time!

What about getting both getting a train and meeting half way, like Stoke or Stafford? Probably Stafford, no-one should have to go to Stoke!

I'm not so sure yet, going on well in some places and not others. I'm hoping it builds up well but I have no experience in this. I also ordered the silver highlights so if it doesn't look good I may just splurge them all over it. If I'm still not happy I'll end up spraying it in orange nitro.

I always make the guitar players roll lots of bass of their sounds. I tell them 'that's not for you'

First coat (deep coat)

I've also sanded the body down today ready for staining. Spent about 2 hrs doing it but I'm not 100% I've done the sides enough. I will probably give them a quick going over again.

The neck is now finished. I'm not over the moon with it. I think I didn't sand it enough before staining so the finish seems a bit thin and uneven. I can live with it though.

I saw 'intermittent tinnitus' at a prog festival in the 90s. Great band!

Just caught a bit of Elbow's performance. I really don't get elbow and the fuss around them. They are just so boring.

3 of the 4

Just stand behind your grunge influences and get rid of the guitar solo. Also, call the guitarist a fret wombler. That's what I remember from the 90s anyway. (Obviously I didn't type wombler)

But which pick is the best pick for good songs to learn with a pick?

I absolutely can't get enough of this at the minute. Listening to it back to back.

Been firing band members since I was 14. Not had to do it though in the last er......lots of years because I struggle to find the right people. My best experience though was getting fired from a band I wasn't even in!

Pe'ple w'uld also h've less time t' do th'ngs tha' mat'er.
