I can't watch anything on youtube without adds

It really does, its very 'how metal groups are supposed to sound'. See, where i couldn't really listen to that for long, primarily due to the singing, I can appreciate it more because they are doing what they want to do because they want to do it, rather than it being the thing that people do, like a lot of the previous metal stuff. That is what the yoof should be doing. I guess eventually they will all put on black viking inspired clothes, get a band logo with monochrome spikey fonts, and sound like everyone else, but in the mean time it is good!

Its a shame that, but they really want you to sign up to the paid service. I assume it would just get harder and harder to use until you have no choice, but they have to keep the free option there, because they made all those promises about it being free for ever.

Don't get me started on reaction videos - I must admit I have never watched on, but wtf? Really just watching random strangers reactions to stuff? Youtube has become really hard to search recently, you used to search for what you wanted and find it, and now you just find a lot of "x reacts to y" video. I mean, I know there is a lockdown so nothing much is being produced but still. Damn, should have recorded my reaction to that then.

Guessing it doesn't also hold your trousers up

Well, there is a taunton music scene https://www.facebook.com/groups/462202057152514 and I am sure there are more. Strangely dispite only being 20 miles away I don't recal doing a gig in taunton, certainly a lot in the surrounding countryside where music is very big. Actually one of the odd things is Ilminster, small place right, well in the last pre-lockdown year we did the Cricket club, the football club and the bowling club gigs as well as a couple of pubs around it and a couple of private events in fields. In fact, we are playing the Cricket Club in 2 weeks time. You did notice the bass bash in september didn't you? I am not sure whether you commented there. It is great and you will find a lot more people with ideas where to try

Oh yes, our local pages are terrible, I only stay on them to watch the fights, but we also have a couple of music scene posts, and they are restricted to groups, gigs and people looking to form bands

I would just say that I am not able to take in any more information someone says after they have used the word 'Curated'.

Yep like that. Sounded like a promising song and then.. oh well, next. I guess people must like it as it is really common. Synchronised swimming takes some dexterity. Don't want to watch that either

Ah, didn't twig you were that close. Somerset is (was) pretty active with a lot of groups going on. Not sure which part of the border (its a 70 mile border!), but we practice near chard and several other groups practice there. There are quite a few groups near yeovil, although the amount of town pubs are closing down. A lot of towns have a local music scene page, and there is a somerset music hub page etc.

Yeh, got roqsolid for all my amps and cabs, apart from my TC112, and they are now so bashed it hardly seems worth it

Oh no, can go wagner all day, its pretty heavy, and with a full orchestra, there is no shortage of metal.

Love all types of metal music unless there is those screamy vocals, turns something interesting into something flat and 2 dimensional, its like a pop song with a token rap section. Basically any form of metal with singing I like.

My joy in life is playing live. If something has cables they are going to be pulled out transporting them. There is no way I could trust a modular playing live, so it is a nogo from me. And the thing I really hate about playing live is all the cables!

And me - although I cope with ok with the model15 on the iPad

I would say the matrriach doesn't have a lot going on in the menu department!

OK, well the last thing I bought post brexit, my TMB35 went fine, it turned up after a few days when it should, it was all good. It was just the EHB1505 that had the split network that I returned that hermes lost that I had to wait 3 months to get a refund or replacement from them. Worked out ok in the end, I got both.

Welcome to your 30s A lot of people drop out of life in general between 30-45, then come back at 45 wondering what happened. You see young groups, you see old groups, that middle area is a bit less common.

He was about the only person I have ever seen play the fender V, it was an odd bass, same range as a 4 spread on 5 strings, E-C and 15 frets!

Yes, that is one good thing you can say about them. Oh hang on, that is the only good thing you can say about them!

Yep - all he had was the one jazz bass.

Yep, I liked the subsequent, but although I came close, I couldn't justify getting something when I wouldn't have got to use it that much. TBH, at home I play the Piano and the Roland DS if I want other sounds. The piano connects to the Bloefeld, for other tasks. Now I have the argon, which is sort of a bit of a crossover with the blofeld., but although less versatile is very front panel 'accessible' (and has a seriously nice keyboard) Isn;'t that matrixbrute more expensive thought - or am I thinking of the polybrute

Indeed - Just 2 Jazz basses, a Fender Bass V, a fender Bass VI and a couple of alembics.

Same here, not attention at all. Then I joined a motown group a couple of years back!

Oh agreed - there are quite a few synths I would have to go through before those two were my choices (although I was tempted by the subsequent) but I was just picking based on the brief! Hadn't noticed the Pro3, but sequential stuff was always my first love
