solo4652 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Over in the Amps and Cabs forum is a discussion about 112 cabs. Al Krow of this Parish has posted a clip of his band doing Kiss, to demonstrate his 112 cab. Kiss is/was a favourite of my band, and he we are - posted here so as not to derail the 112 cab thread. Edit: Blast! Can't work out how to post video here. Bear with me...... Edited August 22, 2019 by solo4652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Looking forward to it! Maybe we can have a Kiss-off? 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo4652 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Struggling to upload the video. It's not on the web, only on my laptop. I'll see if I can post it on YouTube. Work in progress.... Edited August 22, 2019 by solo4652 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 And here's ours from the other thread so you've got them side by side! Any more Prince Kiss covers out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfan Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Will be soon....I’m hopeful of getting it into a Prince medley. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo4652 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) @ Al Krow. I prefer your version over ours. Yours is much more "accessible" and easier to listen to. When we played ours live, the guys in the audience would get up and video the guitarist, while the ladies would disappear from the dancefloor. Sadly but predictably, the band in my video folded a couple of months ago. Good standards of playing, but too loud and blokey for most pub venues.

Al Krow Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) That's very kind of you to say! You say 'predictably' your band folded; sounds like you've had a bumpy road - really sorry to hear. Hope you manage to get yourself back into something fun soon.

Your version is less mainstream, sure, but really really good. Inventive and very well played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inventive and very well played. Thank you! Lead guitarist, drummer and singer are all very good musicians and, together, pulled the band towards (prog) rock stuff. That wasn't my bag. I'm much more oriented towards soul, funk, pop, groove songs. Classic band split was the result. The rhythm guitarist/synth guitarist/vocal synth guy and myself have joined forces with a female singer to set up a lounge/jazz/smooth trio., with me switching between bass and cajon depending on the song being played. I miss the push and power of the full band, especially playing with a drummer. Nowhere to hide in a trio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Shame @solo4652that line up didn't work for you. To be honest I can easily see the appeal as a bassist of playing in either band. I agree with you, the others do seem to be excellent musicians, funnily enough the bass player wasn't in any way out of place alongside them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Oh BTW @Al Krow, stop posting videos of your band. You don't look remotely how I've always imagined you and its messing with my head. 🤕🤯 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
