Noodle fest!

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1424430721' post='2696183'] Dream Theatre. John Myung's an amazing player, but just can't listen to them as a band. [/quote]There first two albums were good, but bizarrely I find Myung a bit boring, horrible sound. Great technique but not much excitement. I've seen them live about 4 times. Shared a spliff with one of the members, good lads! When Sherinian was in the band he tried pulling my mates missus. Funny!

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1424106423' post='2692684'] No, obviously not. We're all of us just a washed-up bunch of miserable, embittered. talentless sh!tehawks and deep down we all know it, and the success of the likes of Oasis just highlights our mutual monumental uselessness. It's almost unbearable. [i]Unbearable[/i], I tells ya. Popularity and £££££ are obviously the only yardsticks that actually matter. Oh, and hard drugs & chicks too. J. [/quote]ha ha, class. With ya on the hard drugs and chicks bit although soft drugs are fine too!

Anyone on here wrote a good two hours of original material liked by hundreds of thousands of people!?

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1424091987' post='2692448'] That would be why I said "I'm sure Oasis fans hear something in it that I'm missing". I'm well aware that he's done very well for himself and lots of people love Oasis, even if I'm not quite feeling that myself. Anyway, I've a feeling the man wouldn't be bothered and would probably rip the p*ss out of my music in a most colourful manner. He does give an entertaining interview! [/quote]I'm not an Oasis fan, he does give good interview though!

Care less!

[quote name='lonestar' timestamp='1424031669' post='2691829'] I was discussing most embarassing moments with a mate of mine a few years ago. His was when living at home as a teenager retiring to his room for a spot of er? "Me time" with his righ hand accompanied by Pink Floyd's Wish You Were in the headphones. When he came around there was a nice hot cup of tea on the bedside table curtesy of his Mum. [/quote]urban myth surely, loads of people tell that story!

I'm sure multi million selling, multi millionaire, wrote a couple of classic songs Noel Gallagher would be sad if he read your comments!

Attack of the Grey Lantern- Mansun

Break it all down to three's and two's. I.e 5/4. Count/ feel as 1,2,3,1,2

It makes total sense! What's the problem

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1422815769' post='2677123'] I posted our latest song on here a while back, definitely the best song I have ever played on, but how does it stand to critique from your peers? It took a lot of soul searching before I decided to share it....shouldn't have worried, it got 2 listens and 2 comments only.....I guess most people on here are not really interested in what your fellow Baschatters are creating.....said song got played on Radio 1 a few weeks later.....after 30 years of trying....did I mention it on here at the time.....nah didn't bother [/quote] It must have been good to get two comments mate! Take it as a badge of honour! Also 30 yrs of trying to get on radio 1. I thought they didn't play songs by anyone older than 17

I've entered a number of times and vote quite a lot. I've stopped entering now though. I initially thought it was great, it was good just to write things and enter and the winning didn't matter. But it did seem to become more about what was the best song, not the best composition or one that matched the piece. However, as said that didn't bother me. There were a number of times where the recording quality was mentioned to entrants which i didn't think was necessary as it was about composition. The forum is friendly enough and when it got to voting time a couple of people would leave feedback on the soundcloud which is always nice and obviously Dad would do his excellent play of the days, However I never got to feel that i was part of it that much despite contributing regularly ish. There is a core of people who whenever anyone of them post there entry they are all over each others work with comments etc, within the thread i mean. Then others who aren't part of that core would put theirs up and nowt would get said. I'm not for a moment suggesting people were being mean, or were purposelly being a clique or anything just the way i felt. i just felt a bit of an outsider. So i just stopped doing it!

You mean there are other notes than root!?

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1422056071' post='2668377'] I still love the Richie days. They were the first band I ever saw at the age of 14. Richie was my favourite guitarist in my teenage years. Unfortunately, though, you're right, I grow up and realized what a bellend he is. [/quote]I love that he's a bellend. Don't think it'd be right if he wasn't!

I go through phases. Last year was only fret less, but recently I've started back on fretted and my fretless's are gathering dust

Cheat sheets!

[quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1420691117' post='2652213'] Nice one great job, just read all the thread, I would of got frustrated and burned it in a fit a rage. Well done for seeing this through, impressed. [/quote]ha ha. i thought about it! cheers

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1420667681' post='2652064'] Yes - definitely worth the wait! [/quote]cheers mate

Think i saw these men when i was on my stag do in sheffield in september ( when the blades beat rochdale) If it's who i think it is! They were playing covers tho, zep n stuff! Really good, great singer, great players. I'd go for it myself but don't live in God's country anymore!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1420630667' post='2651444'] Fair enough to prefer no port, but no dampening?!? Surely a kick drum sounds sh*te with no dampening? I'll have to try this [/quote]Bonham!?

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1420451816' post='2649384'] yep, our band wouldn't be nearly the same without the singer, lets face it we can all learn almost any song if we practice at it (even if we cheat a little) but if the singer can't sing it that's it, we've ditched one or two songs because we had to alter the key that much they just didn't work, Communication Breakdown and Offsprings the Kids Aren't Alright. spring to mind, both very high key, although we did pull off Slade's Merry Christmas in spite of having to lower it 5 semitones, so you never can tell [/quote] actually i can agree with that some tunes can just sound wrong in other keys. especially when songs have been written in D minor. The saddest of all keys!

[quote name='vsmith1' timestamp='1420449950' post='2649361'] Nowadays it feels like that the singer has a casting vote/veto - the "if I can't sing it then we shouldn't do it" [/quote] That gets on my wick too! Just change the key! Our singer trys that a bit. We now even have detuned guitars as well just incase riffs have open E! well the guitarists do. I have the benefits of a five string!

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1420446942' post='2649343'] Absolutely. I enjoyed the same with a Dire Straits tribute. You hear the songs so often you lose sight of how good the writing is and just how good they are to play - especially the bass parts. [/quote]that was exactly it!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1420409372' post='2649152'] It's true - I only made that comment to annoy Lord Sausage. [/quote]
