Hyped song writing?!! Let me guess you've only heard Revolution number 9

Agree for sure. It's a must watch. I don't understand why they let themselves be boxed into a 2 week deadline. 2 weeks to write an album, record it, rehearse a performance. They own the company. Total masters of their own destiny.

Well as its 6 hours of edited footage out of 600 plus hours. Maybe there was a point where he walked in with a completed symphony and got shot down 😁 That guy in the studio. Dennis somebody. The one always saying let's all go and do this in an empty amphitheater in Syria. Was he responsible for Pink Floyd playing in that empty amphitheatre a bit later? He seems obsessed with the idea.

Yes there could be an element of feeling ground down by it all.

Providing the drums was his job. Which he did do very well in my opinion. But it's that very word that irks me. Opinion. Have one. Lob a drum stick at Macca' head and say no, sometimes. Smile like a loon at other moments. Just have an opinion. Don't just sit there watching Yoko doing her knitting.

I'm watching it and enjoying it immensely. It's pretty much how I thought events transpired during that period. General consensus has always been that Ringo had zero creative input. Which I don't condemn him for in the slightest. When you have writers of the calibre of Lennon/McCartney, it's a tall order to shunt one of their tunes off an album for one of yours. But what I can't fathom is the complete lack of opinion. A comment of 'I like that bit' or 'do that bit again'. Showing some support or interest to what is being created around him, i find disappointing. I remember his only recollection of the Sgt Pepper sessions being that he learnt how to play chess. I'm not bashing the bloke. I just don't understand why he didn't chip in with something, anything.

Ha. Thank you. I've been scratching my head for the past hour, trying to remember where I had heard Omicron before.

Easy question. Limelight. Ah you already did. 😝

Warm smiley face guaranteed 👍👍

You certainly can play it. I've been playing it on a fretless for years.

My gear is probably from Columbia 😛

Ridiculous. He can't be that distressed by the image if he has a tattoo of it on chest. I wonder if the relatives of David are contemplating sueing Michelangelo for the pain and suffering of portraying him with such small tackle.

I also suffer something akin to being put into a Guantanamo bay stress position for 8 hours, if I hear Mull Of Kintyre.

Not exactly hilarious, but I would rather drag my genitals over a mile of broken glass than hear this again. Bis - Kandy Pop - Top of the Pops, 1st appearance TOTP - YouTube

Yep, turn up on Monday morning literally playing like Victor Wooten and all of a sudden you probably won't fit 🤔😉 In terms of input I would say you have correctly avoided the cardinal sin. Walking in the door and telling everyone that they should now do it a different way. Let's call it Yngwie-itis 😊

I think you are looking at this from the wrong angle Steve. You can obviously do the job and you get on and enjoy the other members company. That's really all that matters.

I feel shy, but Ok)

Love the logo design and I'm more than happy with mine.

As well as an incredible songwriter, he also had a really appealing voice. Better suited to his own material. Shame that accident and circumstance meant that he had to hand over singing duties to Meatloaf.

Six or so months from now I am planning on selling one of my Fretless Wal's. So all might not be lost.

Unlikely I would think. Neil didn't play on that.

Thank you Neil for all of these transcriptions. I have many of the records you have played on over the years. If you did ever get round to writing a book of your exploits, I would deem that essential reading If nothing more to find out if the guys in Vow Wow called you "big man" 😎 Thanks

It raises a good question. At what price level do you deem an instrument just to valuable to risk out in live situations? Then can you justify to yourself, having an expensive instrument you just play with indoors?
