People can say what they like about Johnny Rod, but the boy gives it f*ck on stage!! Fair play!

I live up 4 flights of stairs so portability became an issue. Then I discovered Barefaced cabs. Most gigs I can get away with a Super Midget, but I have a Big Twin 2 for larger venues and festivals. I'd love an Ampeg valve head but the weight is too prohibitive, and TBH my Genz Benz Streamliner 900 has more than enough welly.

Not carrots. Be warned! 😖 Love from Cornwall (where men are men, and sheep are nervous!)

Then there's Fernanda Lira from Nervosa....

Flea pulls some interesting bass faces....

Can't say I've heard of him, but I'm having a listen now.... there's some great playing and some crazy shizzle going on here.... I think I like it!!

Get back in there , squire! There's nowt wrong with honing yer chops on your own, but it's great to find like-minded people to jam with. Jam on and take it from there... get yourself out seeing local live bands and see if there is a central place(s) or scene where you can hang out and get to know other musos... see who is up for a jam or a side project. Good luck!!

Yes I'm hopelessly in love with Floor Jansen too! 😍 Gerroff her, you heathen!! 🤬

Hey Victor... how about playing some prog metal? Uhh.... mm'kay!

Great work , sir! 😎

One of my favourite Keziah Jones songs. Great playing from Otis Williams on bass!

+1 for the C4. This is next on my shopping list!

It looks very realistic!

Looks like you've got a good balance there. I used to play in cover bands years ago, some run of the mill, some more grungey. I got bored. For me it's the jamming and writing which makes me happy. Yes, it's enjoyable to get people up and dancing but I could run a disco and get even more up. I'm not sure I could get back into doing covers... maybe if there really was nothing else happening. Never say never. There's nowt wrong with any of it. As long as people are doing their thang and enjoying it, then all is good IMO.

I guess it depends on what you want out of it. If it's money then you need to appeal to as many people as possible and thus play the cheese. If you want an element of enjoyment for yourself that is unrelated to bums on seats/feet on dancefloors, then I guess you'd play more stuff that you enjoy or maybe aim for a specific target audience or whatever.

The elastic larynx has landed!..

Bloody hell!.. How?..... 😮 Nothing quite like having your a$$ handed to you by a guy in a cardigan and another in a turtleneck....

Good call, sir! I sort of rediscovered Living Color a few months back when I heard their album Shade. I grew up listening to these guys! 😎
