I have yet to try EBay.... I'd rather sell here if possible, but EBay may have to be an option in future....

I found local FB selling a waste of time as nobody has any money down here. Strangely, I've managed to shift two really nice 5 strings on here without even having to advertise - one through an innocuous post on a thread, another through the items wanted section.... and I got a lovely Mayones in p/x. Win! Still got a fretless to sell that I will get around to shortly...

Hell yeah. I think that song was my first Dio experience!

That's fantastic!! Nicely done, sir!

You don't want to be cringing with embarrassment on stage. Plenty of time for them to get someone else. If guitar/vox boy has no idea what he sounds like, I'd be out of there.

Terrible news. Rush have been a massive part of my musical education since I was about 13. RIP Professor.

Damn!! Love this. Didn't realise he had another project. Cheers for the heads-up!

She can slice and dice, and that's for sure!!

I got a new Dingwall 5 string from Bass Direct just over a year ago - set up was perfect for me and the thing was perfectly in tune straight out of the box. Mucho respect to BD!

I liked Ashe. I like Dan too. Never heard the other guy. I'm not really bothered about the politics, just the music. Great players all, Altered State is one of my favourite albums of all time.

He looks like sh*t these days as a result! Always liked WASP with Chris, but Doug Blair was a better guitarist.

Milton Keynes' finest proggers...

Maybe the programme is becoming like the Xmas dinner at work... people turn up just so they can moan about how sh*te it is.... 😄

This is the crucial thing for me!

Damn straight. There are 2 types of music: music I like and music I don't like.

I was in my local pub five years back watching 6 Nations rugby with a bunch of mates, one who is a bassist for a ska band. The second game was just finishing when 2 exasperated band members pitched up demanding to know how he had forgotten they had a gig that evening. His missus had packed up his gear and the guys loaded it into the van beforehand, and they whisked Gary off to the gig.... about 9 pints in!!! He had a shocker, so I hear, but he did play! Not ideal gig prep....

Oh how rude!! 😋

Cart?

It is what it is. Take it or leave it, I guess. Can't remember the last time I watched any of it....

Sorry.... *snicker*

I learned We Used To know a few years back. Really enjoyed that!

Yes indeed, it was a toss up between Analog and Digital (arf arf!) Analog is likely to take a while to get up to standard, so I may well have a go at Digital Man as well. In for a penny etc....

Reminds me of someone's quote about how punters don't know what they like, but like what they know!

Fair play. 🙂 But what is awesome is subjective, of course. Yes, the more people who think of a song as awesome, the greater the likelihood of it being deemed a 'classic' by the music press, and thus into general acceptance. But this must bring age into the discussion. My dad considers Elvis, Chuck Berry and the Beach Boys to be classic rock. I turned 50 last week, so what I consider to be classic rock may well be deemed musty old cr@p by people of 25, say. So by the time they turn 50, won't they be more likely to consider Muse, Queens of the Stone Age or {insert more recent rock band here} as classic rock? Quite probably... I never did like Layla though......

I've seen a few bands who purport to be classic rock bands including songs by the above bands in their sets. Presumably the bands have agreed that such songs, rightly or wrongly, fall under their definition of classic rock.
