BassApprentice Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 For full clarity - it's actually the singer who assaulted the bassist, they had switched roles for that song. Doing Scotland proud 🏴😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 happens all the time, The Kinks and Animals were always having fights, must admit I've often thought about whacking our singer on occasions, probably would have done in my younger days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 "Described on its Twitter feed as "three pals in a band from Dryburgh" Makes sense. There are four of them. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMoon Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I once saw Bob Daisley and Ariel Bender (Luther Grovesnor) come to blows on stage while performing as Widowmaker back in the 70’s! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr4stringz Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Missed opportunity for the drummer as, having watched the full footage of the altercation, he should have added snare hits to each punch thrown. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) It's a really, really good small venue in the city centre...and yes, it's in the old Deaf Institute* building... * Actually kinda worse than that: it's in the Adult Deaf & Dumb Institute building...

diskwave Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Wonderfully staged free publicity the stuff you simply cannot buy...It went everywhere, Beeb, ITV, SKY, viral on steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 8 minutes ago, bassbiscuits said: Im pretty sure it has already! Aye, in general terms you must be right. I was only thinking of our bass playing friend Mick Mason (who has a whole thread dedicated to him and his many years of scamming people), as several BassChatters have predicted that somebody at some point will give him his comeuppance - - not that they condone it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I will be quite happy to read of him getting the bash one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having known crew and promoters who have worked with The View I remain unconvinced they'd ever be together enough to be able to pull off staged promo... They did well back in the 2000s but unfortunately have form for last minute and mid-show cancellations. A number one record only gets you so much latitude before even the label are sick of you. On a side note I'd be terrified of scrapping on the stage at Deafies. Feels about ten foot up in the air with no handrail when you're up there at best of times.
