WalMan

Well it’s hit target so looks like I’ll be getting one then

Been quiet for a while. Back with the latest Lockdown video with a new song for us, and another from the mighty GUN. Filmed at the last rehearsal between lockdowns. One day we'll get to gig again I hope - please Don't Say It's Over!! (Did you see what I did there )

Tried this out at LGBS and really liked the sounds coming out, even if it was difficult in the tumult of the show. Got an email recently about the Kickstarter they have running at the moment. Anyone else on it? I'm hoping it makes target 'cos I'd quite like to get one and it's an 'all or nothing' kickstart 🙂

Took us a while as I recall, and this sounds fast on gig adrenaline 🤣 Good fun to play though

Just because really 🤣 Always liked the song and I've no idea where the cassette of the original studio recording, or even if I could play it back. I just know that others may go hmmmmm

Recently searching for something else on a load of hard disks I came across this, plus a few other tracks from 11 years ago. Recorded to multitrack at the gig and mixed later, and I'm quite pleased with how this came out. Might even have to resurrect it for live - assuming we EVER get back to gigging Carry On Wayward Son - cover

I am in the process of re-recording my bands title song from 40 years ago. I have recorded a guide and then the drummer has sent me midi from his electronic kit, vocalist has sent vocals and I'm waiting on final guitar tracks. The song has a silly fairy story in the middle, and I my son recorded my granddaughter reading it which I have then cut to fit. Just got the vocal tracks and a rough mix, and he's done it again. 🙄 ...and I know the drummer is going to be pee'd of with the changes. A few years back one of our fans from back in the day asked if he could play a track of ours at his wedding. We decided to e-record it for him as a surprise. Backing tracks were done here and sent to vocalist in New Zealand, but when we got it back he'd completely changed the way he sang it, so it was a nice gift, but not quite what said fan really wanted ☹️ Now to be fair vocalist was the songwriter / lyricist and used to bring ideas to rehearsal, but he didn't play an instrument so songs were written from jams at rehearsal and developed from his 'it goes something like this' dum di dums. Not that it has ever been an issue, but I know if there had been any money made from a song we'd probably have ended up with difficult discussion re ownership. Whilst we might like a fairly faithful rendition of the original version, he has revamped the vocal lines - not as much as with the other song - but I suspect there will be mutterings from the ranks 🙄 Not sure myself. Played a rough mix to wifey this morning and she loves it, so what do I know 🤣

Hug a bassist day then again we probably all forgot our partners in rhythm two days before!? Hug a drummer day

Sweet FA 🙂

Next Friday!! WOOHOO!!! The Alibi @ The Factory Live - Friday 4 Sep 2020 Our Lockdown covers page 😁🤘

Sounds good to me. Really punches through the mix to drive it along

Latest lockdown video. Always love a bit of GUN 🙂 The Alibi - Lockdown Vid #5 - GUN - Steal Your Fire

I always wing it...though as it's been in the set for years I have no idea what 'version' we do...probably our own take by now 😁 Looks like the only Whitesnake songs on our YouTube are Ready & Willing and All Your Love Tonight...and listening back again to the original my winging is nowt like it

Well if it's Sunday afternoon it must be time for the next Alibi Lockdown Video, and if you have twin lead guitarists, then it's only right & proper that you cover a bit of Thin Lizzy 😁 Waiting For An Alibi (cover) - The Alibi Used the Wal for this into Helix & the SVT4 model You wouldn't believe the iterations of backing vocals I went through before we were happy with the lines!! Two parts, three parts, different inversions. Don't know why it was such a trial considering it's a longstanding live favourite

Posted to The Electric Boys FB page & got a Like and "Awesome😎" comment...which was nice 😁

Something different for me from another of my ongoing projects. A bit more laid back, & definitely not my usual rock stylings, but there's no point in having three bands doing pretty much the same set just with different bodies is there? A couple of these were still quite new when recorded, so took a while to track live, but others had longer to bed in with some gigs. Pop quiz: Which is the fluff I wanted to sort, but now really like - even if it might be a bugger to get right live? 🙄 Mostly recorded with the Wal, except for Trouble Lies, which was redone with the G&L L2500 fretless. wATSON hALL & wEBB - sOUNDS LIKE Us

Time for Alibi Lockdown Video #3 😁 First The Money Then The Honey - cover taken from the last Electric Boys CD. One of a number of theirs that we do. Always good fun. I appear to have caught the sun in this one trying to put together green screen with other vids from the seafront. Shot on my Nikon DSLR, so it’s a bit annoying that the other phone video comes out better 🤬 Next up a bit of Lizzy then some GUN. Got to decide whether to take a bass to the local park one evening for the next shoot and get wifey on the case as camera man 🤔
