  1. Have to say that none of Waters solo stuff or Floyd's stuff after he left has really done it for me. They were, to me, bigger than the sum of their parts (but I might give RW's latest album a go if you recommend it.
  2. Been mentioned already, but pretty much anything from Dark Side of the Moon. So much of is still very pertinent today over 40 years after it was written. Roger Waters was a lyrical genius back then.
  3. The Birdie song and Agadoo were extremely popular at one time. Esperanza Spalding on the other hand is virtually unheard of outside certain circles so must therefore lack talent. Just saying.
  4. The Chowney is a cracking little pedal and you can get all sorts of usable sounds out of it. Clean blend is a must for me. Price is crazy cheap in comparison to the competition too.
  5. Obligatory mention for the Fender Rumble series. Combo or head and cab, these are cracking amps for the money
  6. In which case, Van Gogh became more talented after he was dead. Popularity has never been any indicator of talent - you only have to listen to One Direction to prove it.
  7. I'd go for the Fusion because it's a cracking amp and has 2 foot switchable channels.
  8. Was listening to some music on Mp3 earlier today. It sounded crap so I threw a Yorkshire pudding at it and it still sounded crap. Did I do it wrong?
  9. I use a 500w Tecamp Black Jag. I assume it's basically a Puma with some whistles and bells. I use it through a 4ohm 2x12 cab and it has more grunt than I would ever need. If you need more volume on stage than this you need to go through the PA because this thing will fry your ears.
  10. Got to be Rhythm Stick. Loads of effort to get it down and then the band decided they didn't want to do it.
  11. My drummer is often available.
  12. Needs a couple of prongs sticking out the top with a blue electrical wave arcing between them (and maybe a hunchback manically turning the dials as well).
  13. I thought rap was bad until grime came along. My 'interest' in rap peaked with Grand Master Flash for a brief moment and then died forever.
  14. I don't know what it is but it looks nice.
  15. In modern times I'd say Prince. Could play anything and do it exceptionally well. Wrote all sorts of music, sang, danced, did choreography and produced. Phenominal talent.
  16. Had a Gallien Kreuger MB 500 Fusion head for a while and it was fantastic through a Barefaced Compact. Both very light and portable and very powerful. Wish I still had the GK.
  17. Shouldn't the Adam Clayton signature basses all have one string though? (Behave!).
  18. Using a Keeley Bassist at the moment which I like. Best pedal I ever had was the TC Electronics Nova Dynamics which was a fantastic pedal. Needed a 12w supply and was just a bit too big for my board but I wish I still had it. It could do anything well.
  19. Used to play with a sax player/pillock who would routinely tread all over my pedal board - ended up not bothering to use pedals. More recently a totally whizzed woman on a hen night fell over and sat on my pedal board engaging the tuner/mute in the process and I couldn't get her off it for a couple of minutes. Also had a PA desk/amp pack up pre gig due to a loose ribbon connector. Had no time to look at it then so the vocals went through my backup bass head which sounded OK and saved the day.
  20. How about the original Mission Impossible theme in 5/4 I believe.
  21. On the rare occasions I've played stuff like this I used 3 fingers (Index, Middle and Ring) but I always found it easier to play in reverse order (Ring, Middle Index) which ironed out a timing issue with the ring finger.
  22. I think any valve head pushed to break up point will be too loud for home use. I'll chuck in one idea though which may be shot down in flames by those who know about such things though - how about a cab with a high Ohmage driver in it?
  23. Loved my Peavey MkIV head. That thing took so much abuse and never missed a beat. Felt like it had a big lump of concrete in one end though. Happy Days.
  24. Any advice on where to get them would be handy too.
