Roqsolid will make you a cover if you send them a set of measurements.

The simplicity of Floyd's rhythm section is one of the band's main strengths. Nick Mason is one of the dullest drummers in living memory but it all just seems to work perfectly with Waters' writing. I suppose it all came from a time when bass in particular was largely ignored by the public.

It's so hard playing with a drummer who can't keep time. The drummer in my band slows down at the same place in the same songs gig after gig. I find that I speed up at this point to try to drag him along which can make it even more of a mess. Drives me nuts but I wouldn't quit because of it. We've had a couple of deps play with us too who have been on the button and it's a truly liberating experience.

I prefer Led Zeppelin's cover of Rolf Harris's Stairway to Heaven.

Line 6 LD15 is a good piece of kit. Loads of very usable sounds available and effects. Can plug in an MP3 or whatever and play along. Only thing it could do with is an onboard tuner.

Maddie Prior thought of the name for her band while she was working as a riveter on the Humber bridge.

Jethro Tull unipod Ian Anderson has 2 twin sisters, Pamela and Gillian. All 3 are identical. His sisters can't hop like he can though.

Jeff Berlin also played on The Wall.

Taylor Swift was named after her Dad. He could knock up a made to measure suit in under 2 hours.

One of the main reasons I've given up on big venues.

Anyone who can't be heard is taking up space unnecessarily and taking money out of the pockets of the rest of you. If he can't be heard there's no point in him being there.

You're perfectly within your rights to ask for the information. Charity accounts should be completely transparent. Having been involved in non-profit organizations, the amount of accountability can be absolutely massive. People are entitled to know what happens to their money.

There are only 3 a's in Bananarama. One of them was called Siobahn but I can't remember who the other 2 were.

Please remember that you are, after all, a mere bass player. You should be overjoyed that proper musicians have deemed you worthy to prop up their egos. Get a grip man!

Deep Purple have recently reformed with members of Simply Red and Blue.

My take on it has always been I play for nothing because I love it. I get paid to lug the gear around. Seems to work for me.

Glockenklang or Vanderklay?

Flea joined The Red Hot Chilli Peppers in desperation after he was evicted from Freddie Mercury's moustache. He had only recently moved there from Jimmy Sommerville's pubic hair.

3'2" post punk pretty boy Adam Ant now lives in a nest with former band members near Hemel Hempstead. The worker Ants can often be seen carrying Adams supplies above their heads in single file. In times of hardship they have been spotted as far afield as Tring and Aylesbury.

James Blunt is very rude. When he met Kurt Cobain in a narrow corridor a 25 minute pushing tussle broke out since neither would let the other past.

Lou Reed's real name is Jeremy Bean. He got the nick name 'Lou Reed' because he would often spend days on end reading back copies of 'Crochet Monthly' magazine on the toilet. The band name 'Velvet Underground' was inspired by the disappearance of his favourite brand of toilet paper after he flushed.

Gary Barlow's Dad is Ken Barlow off Coronation Street. He was taught to play piano by his Mum, Pat Butcher when he used to live upstairs at the Queen Vic.

Doctor John is not a Doctor at all. He's a Dentist.

I thought that was Iggy's Dad.
