I think that the clips highlight what can be done when you have a great singer and a great drummer. Regarding the ongoing covers v originals debate, I see it this way: You either wrote the music you are performing or you didn't.

I really enjoyed it, and the Q&A session beforehand. Heavy going though. The conductor must have been knackered. Next stop ZPZ on the 11th - can't wait!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1382366108' post='2251231'] Sadly, that's not allowed! You have to start on the Nov 1 with a clean shaven face. It's surprising how much facial hair some guys can grow in a month! Not me though - mine grows quite slowly and is ginger!! [/quote] So do I shave tonight or in the morning? This kind of thing could confuse a stupid person.

Frank Zappa style for me - particularly as he died twenty years ago this year from prostate cancer.

It's always the bass player, isn't it! This is the type of thing that could go viral and be the making of them.

[quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1382716920' post='2255896'] My band "The Xergrudelybooglers" resent that our name has been used in this thread. Please cease and desist. [/quote] I think that I may now have to rename my band "The Essex Xergrudelybooglers" (unless that's already taken).

I just bought Tom's FSR Precision. The process couldn't have been simpler. I contacted Tom on Saturday afternoon and the bass was delivered by Tuesday lunchtime. Tom's packing was excellent. Tom - thanks again. As I said in my PM - I am a very happy boy.

Very nice - thanks for posting. However, if our drummer started Rhythm Stick that fast, I'd probably sh*t myself.

More hit (with a customs charge) than miss in my experience. Best brace yourself.

Hopefully it was just a bit of a rant and he will calm down. One question regarding the no-notes demand: Is he also the lead singer?

Joined. I will be attempting to grow a 'tache in the style of Frank Zappa - you will probably have to take my word for it!

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1381317408' post='2237393'] That's probably the ultimate bass tone right there. [/quote] Fixed
