The same sort of thing happened to a good friend of mine when playing in a pub. Plugged his guitar into his amp, about to start the set, when he got a whack from the mains supply and died on stage. This was about 20 years ago and he was only in his mid twenties. I've used a RCD adaptor ever since.

Jerry Jemmott laying down a lovely little line in this.....

Love this (apart from Greg Koch, who can't seem to resist playing a pastiche of everything), but Guy's a great singer as well as being mighty handy on the geetar.

Greg's just Greg. Guy King is always on the money.

 

I like that bass players left hand technique, effective and economical. All the right notes in all the the right places and not an ounce of energy wasted.

From what I’ve heard off of Slash’s new album he seems to be doing some good blues - on a 335 I should point out. My copy on way.

7 pages in and no mention of Freddie King yet - sacrilege! 

 

This ones a little funkier than the record and has a nice little bass break by Benny Turner, one of my favourite blues bassists

Time to bring back this thread  to life.

A funky Albert Collins.

Blues-ish. . . . my favourite band at the moment. . . .

Just my bag. Cheers!

I don't listen to enough Otis Rush and need to rectify that!

If we're going to do memes - wise words from Bleeding Gums Murphy!

I once had a boss who witnessed it, he knew I was in bands and regularly warned me! I bought an ELCB as a result. In those days you'd sometimes see elcb sockets for the stage/band area and testing your own could trip them!

 

Of course these days venues should be properly protected  with rcd at the distribution board.
