He really promotes anti drugs and drink, thats something that can’t be too bad.

They must have had a bad night, I’ve seen them twice with the new vocalist and they were spot on. Can’t agree on Whitesnake, the band were great but Coverdales vocals were sh*te, he’s lost it, doing the usual vocalist cheat, pointing his microphone out towards the audience on the high stuff. Thunder on the same gig as Whitesnake and they were brilliant.

Get his wife to join the band 😀

Is that East of Java ?

Annoying, it’s sounds like an absolute nightmare. So many of them in one band, life is too short to waste with these people.

Never had a smoked bass, have tried smoked haddock 😀

Just found this concert on YouTube. The Dukes of September (2014) Three legends on stage together, Donald Fagen, Boz Scaggs and Michael McDonald. Backed by a killer band with an awesome guitarist called Jon Herrington. This is really classy stuff played by top notch musicians.

Just been listening to Living Colour on the radio, forgot what an excellent band they are. Used to play Love Rears Its Ugly Head in a rock band I was in many years ago, a cracking song to play.

Yeh, most of our tribute gigs we just played it 22 times, one after another - easy for me 🤩🤩

April fools was yesterday. Dont know where you got that story from. He did come out as homosexual later in his life.

Hi Pete, You might not have an issue with your female singer doing All Right Now, but she might - check out the lyrics.

What a response. I didn’t say it was all women, we just had bad experiences with all the ones we tried and some were great vocalists, we decided after those issues we would only go down the male vocalist route and base our songs around that. I played in a Free tribute band for several years, you tell me how a female vocalist would have fronted the band?

What do you mean it sucks. The type of bands I have played in over the last ten years and the genre of music we play, we have absolutely no requirement for for female vocalists - fact.

So the young generation have got everything correct ?

I’m not sure if the content in your first paragraph is trying to be condescending, forgive me if it isn’t. We dealt with the females as we would have with any males, why should it be any different ?

Simple maths, if their readership is the older age group, the readers are nearer to death and circulation figures will continue to fall. Same with Readers Digest.

Over the years our personal experience of auditioning or working with female vocalists has brought nothing but hassle, maybe we just chose some bad ones, this is not sexist, just fact in our case, so we would not be interested.

Try my Dave Soul at Mad About Drums, he may be able to help. www.madaboutdrums.co.uk

Just got home from our gig, nice easy one, finished playing at 11.30. The landlady paid us £50 more than our usual fee of £200, she said we were selling ourselves too cheap, maybe we need to look at putting our fees up.

Here are four to start with Journey. Foreigner. Fleetwood Mac. The Eagles.

IMO your guitarist is taking the p*ss. He is taking you for a mug.

One would question, based on this principle that The Stones aren’t The Stones without Wyman.

Thank god Barrett left, the best thing ever. We would never have had Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here otherwise.

Most if not all of Thin Lizzie stuff is a semitone out.

I would not lend any of my gear out, even to mates. Its OK getting an agreement if it gets damaged they pay for the repairs, once something has been damaged it’s never the same. Lets say they knock a small chip or dent out of a bass, to me that would require a full repaint to make good, the bass then loses its originality.
