  1. Limited experience here but the guy who I play with at work during lunch is the guitarist, very modest of his abilities but is really very good. Unfortunately he has the attention span of a goldfish. We'll be playing along on the songs we agreed on and he'll stop. The problem? he didn't learn any further before he got bored or whatever, but can now play a bit of another song..... Since we play on an occasional throughfare at work he also has the habit of breaking into the Deliverance banjo song whenever anyone walks past. f*** me, FOCUS! Not the glue, but I do have the attention.
  2. Does he really talk like that when he's not being interviewed?
  3. The show isn't a singing contest though is it, Barlow seems to focus on the voices but it is about the X-factor, are you marketable to the public? have you got the charisma to keep people interested in what you do? will people care about how you do? Per the comment above, the last lady, the prison officer who sang Beyonce, was absolutely brilliant, she'll get through hopefully but she'll never win, she's just not marketable enough unfortunately.
  4. my first bass was (is) a sunburst, I got it coz it was cheap and something to start on. I will never sell it. I am also unlikely to buy another sunburst. Natural or something solid it will be
  5. [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1376382256' post='2172957'] coke contains some phosphoric acid. [b]vinegar is acetic acid, diluted[/b]. molasses I *think* contained *some* acetic acid among others, but it's been a long time since I read about that stuff. I don't recall any phosphoric acid there 'though. [/quote] Doh! Brain in gear Steve. Yes, of course you are correct on the vinegar McNach. I'm pretty sure Molasses has it in though, quick google is not 100% behind it, but it can be used for rust removal although I never personally tried it. I think I'll go back in my corner now.
  6. Molasses, coke and vinegar all contain phosphoric acid to some degree. This is the part that does the rust removal. You can probably get the acid in higher strength on ebay but don't leave items in it overnight, more like a few minutes, and mind your fingers!!
  7. [quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1373961477' post='2143523'] Yeah, indeed a great show. I was recording every episode when it was on and thorougly enjoying it, but for some reaso the last episode never recorded and I was not a happy wee boy! [/quote] Same here! There didn't appear to be an episode 11! Maybe that was the Spinal Tap episode Great series though.
  8. It comes down to artistic skill, and willingness. I'm sure I would struggle to get a wall as yours to look as good as you seem to have. Unless you have the right aptitude for it DIY relicing a bass it will look awful. A guy at work brought two in that he had done himself. Only wanted £50 each, for perfectly good basses, but I wouldn't buy one as they looked exactly what they were, a good bass attacked with a sander, scourer and, it would seem, a hammer
  9. play more Airbourne tracks, some great thumping songs there though
  10. Ultimately songs where the lyrics are good aswell as the music are the better ones. They defintely form part of the package! Good lyrics doesn't mean they have to make sense necessarily though, imo, examples: Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden; maybe I'm missing something but wtf is he on about? Love the track though and sing along to it. Some of their other stuff is a bit out there too. Mr Bungle - most of their stuff tbh but I really like it.
  11. Great, thanks for reminding me of these. I still have a VHS somewhere of the night that they had Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Brian May, Nuno Bettencourt and others on. Doubt it's lasted well.... Not thought to look for it on the tube.
  12. I forget whichway round it was exactly. I was looking for lessons and found Dood locally. He then directed me to here, or here directed me to him. Either way, good result on both counts really!
  13. good day. Got a trio going with a couple of colleagues (me, 1 guitar, 1 singer), only third time we've really got together, the previous two were a bit tentative. Guitarist brought in a PA he got a steal on from ebay so we set up on the empty mezzanine at work after hours. Sounds good. Could do with some drums (have a couple of backing tracks) but otherwise we held it together reasonbly. 4 songs we can pretty much do, an ever increasing list of stuff we would like to do. Singer left first so we just jammed for a bit. Look forward to the next one.
  14. Sounds like a great idea to me. As said above I think, a Rock Opera doesn't have to be a live show, it can work as a CD. What're your intentions, stage show or recording. No doubt they have done it live but Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche is often called a rock opera. I think that's a great album.
