  1. Twisted by Skunk Anansie is always fun to play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a804KRsOlE4
  2. Fall Out Boy. "Dance Dance" and "Sugar We're Going Down" always go down well for us. Pretender, Shoot the Runner also well received. Cheating a little bit, but Five Finger Death Punch's version of Bad Company falls into your category!!!
  3. Or you can have the best of both worlds, like this person on our local music scene: http://www.nsechurch.org.uk/ http://www.thisonegoesuptoeleven.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/Gipsy.Eyes.Band Combining Church work and love of music (and he is a very tasty bassist to boot).
  4. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1402162287' post='2470629'] Text them all to check whether they can play, have learned the stuff, and aren't prima donnas. [/quote]
  5. My 16 year old son has done several of these now and is never without a torch (he is always dropping stuff), clip on tuner, a selection of chocolate and some water!!!! He gets by with 1 GS112 and AG500.
  6. Text them all in the morning to make sure that they are all going to turn up!
  7. [quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1399973634' post='2449414'] I think it's sometimes a great idea...you have the luxury of hearing the bass louder than in the original mix and you get a glimpse of how it's played, how cool is that... I'm guilty myself of posting this one...it's meant to be helpful, has nothing to do with my ego (I'm 51 and bald...it's too late for that) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtAUasvmO5s[/media] [/quote] It was useful. Helped me a lot-thanks
  8. Didn't see any music shops, but it's a fantastic place day and night. This might help:http://www.timeout.com/barcelona/music/the-best-live-music-venues-in-barcelona
  9. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Since the 1970's I have used napkins and beer mats as aide memoirs for music at gigs. Having just watched my son e-mail pdf files of music scores, download them onto the iPad, open them on his music reader and change from page to page as he plays using a blue tooth wireless foot switch (all in probably less time than it would take me to write on a beer mat), I am starting to feel really old!!!!!!!![/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He uses an iPad, MusicReader PDF app and Airturn T85 Wireless Footswitch. [/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]For him, it saves having to use 3 music stands to hold some of the scores from the big band and swing music that he plays and it saves space in a small orchestra pit.[/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]More importantly, at 16, it is just entirely natural and easy for him to use this sort of technology in this way.[/font]
  10. And a block of garages, in the middle of Nottingham, from which was produced (from under the rubbish and detritus of years) the most "naturally reliced", but beautiful Ibanez Destroyer bass. I wish it could talk, it has clearly "lived a life"
  11. Not off BC, but once travelled down to a service station near the M25 to pick up a Steinberger L2 (long way, I know, but I didn't want him to change his mind). It was in the original black canvas gig bag and, as we parked next to one another, the bag was passed from boot to boot and cash was exchanged. We then turned around to find 2 police traffic cars behind us who thought that the Geordie was picking up a shotgun!!!!! They were still a bit jumpy when I pulled it out of the bag, for them to see, after I had explained what it was.
  12. Sorry forgot-"Lady love to hang on, played it like a real intellectual"
  13. [quote name='Merton' timestamp='1396807436' post='2417571'] No rotten apple's going to spoil all my fun Get the funk out - Extreme Here's an obscure one: And with this message that I bring to you... [/quote] The Overture-Def Leppard? Still got the EP somewhere
  14. Red Barchetta-Rush "Within the glow that weaves the cloak of delight"
