Oddly enough i'm finding the same with the punk band. I'm new to punk at 62yrs old but thoroughly enjoying the gigs. Not had a bad gig yet since end last year i've been doing gigs every 2nd week on average.
With the Glam band we still get calls on occasion to play some funk songs even tho its well advertised as a 70's Glam Rock tribute with all the outfits etc.
Not had any troublesome ones tho.
Dave
That's not so good after you'd done more than contract. Sorry to hear this kind of thing. I guess you move on and put it behind you.
Not sure how i would have raected under those circumstances but i hope it was as you did..........controlled. Well done on that.
Dave
That would be my worst nightmare. I like to know songs inside out before gigging them altho i have done very short notice gigs learning the basics and taking some notes with me. I just couldn't cope with what you did tho. I'd be a bag of nerves.
Dave
At 30Kg its far heavier than my Mesa Mpulse600 and rack at 24Kg
The HB WB-100 comes in at either 13Kg or 16Kg will need to double check which it is but still a lot lighter than my current rack.
I dont want to go back to old valve amps which can develop unexpected age related issues.
Dave
Its my own opinion of what i dont like as the OP asked.
If you like them that's fine, i have no issue with what you like. I just dont like or appreciate them. I was referring to modern groups tho ......... post autune.
Dave
That was one of my main reasons too until i saw WoT review the WB-100 and i now blame him for my severe GAS.
Personally i think he should be buying me the amp because of all the stress i've been put under
Its worth a try.
Dave
Just catching up on this thread and still a lot to read but i have seen a few comments about The Glitter Band. The drummer in both my bands played with the Glitter Band during 90's. He's played some amazing venues including Wembley Arena and major venues in Germany.
We play some of the GB songs in our 70's Glam Rock covers band.
As a teenager in 70's i bought Gary Glitter singles and one album and also a few of the GB singles.
Their career carried on but to be honest it was the run down of Glam Rock in mid 70's that dampened the classic Glam Rock bands.
As a Glam covers band we ddid agree not to play ang GG songs.
My unpopular styles of music are Rap or similar styles. I dont appreciate "Boy" or "Girl" bands as i find them a bit fake. Not so much a band as simply a group of singers and i use that word loosely as without autotune i dont think many of them can hold a tune.
Dave
Could be interesting. I haven't seen that but i was looking for the WB-100 and had my blinkers on.
Would make for a great back up gig amp if small enough.
Dave
Keep us all posted when and if you can @wateroftyne i know you are well thought off by Leszek. He did tell me about you on a PM.
Looking forward to something soon.
Dave
You need to book early for the TT. My young brother was trying to go a few yrs back but struggled for decent accomodation so passed on it. He is a mad racing fan tho.
Dave
Tried the NYXL's at their first gig on Saturday night.
Have to say i was fair impressed with them. Nice clarity and a lot easier on the fingers too which was decidedly noticeable for me.
Will see how they last before a final decision on whether or not they are keepers.
Dave
And there's you thinking of giving up on bands too. There's always a sun shining somewhere.
Good luck with the festival gig, that should be great fun to do.
