Agreed - my band wont do oasis as I refuse to do it (not for political or ethnic reasons). Its not like we haven't been asked at every gig!

I am not sure what you mean, or that aware of any sectarian irish songs (actually any irish songs at all), so I don't think I am in a position to judge.

I applied, filled in the stuff, hit continue, didn't get so much as an email reply. Will wait and see

I don't think anyone was missing your point, I am just disagreeing with it. it is still political. Literally, it is no longer acceptable behaviour to hang and burn people because of their skin colour in the south of the USA any more (ignoring the other places that it is), but the conditions that give rise to that haven't gone anywhere. in fact if anything they are on the rise.

I would say, in a vein similar to WoTs post about political, i don't think colour matters, I don't think it is relevant the colour or race of the group doing the song, wrong is wrong regardless. I just think it is not something that goes in the set of a adult pop pub group

Very. When viewed from an age when whether black people actually had rights, or were indeed 'as human' as white people was incredibly political. It effectively killed Billie Holiday. The fact that it is not as obvious now as it was then, doesn't change that that much.

That is my issue, Which is the polar opposite of that song. Its not cool and it isn't pop. It is jarring, political and depressing.

I would not have any issues with appropriation, I just cant think what sort of gig it would be appropriate to do it at, and my group wouldn't be the right group to do it with.

Well there is this.. no.. no I am not looking any more

Although not quite the situation here, I have been asked back afterwards after I have failed an audition. My group before last I went to an audition, they got back to me with 'you were fine but this other guy was better for what we were looking for', which is obviously fine, that is the point of an audition, so i replied with ok, thanks, hope it all goes well. I even went to see them after that, and he was clearly better than me. A couple of months later they got back in touch to see if I was interested because he had disappeared - like completely disappeared, he didn't turn up for a gig and they never heard from him again, no falling out or disagreements or anything.

I would too. Sadly this group had difficulty using email, let alone anything else. They split up shortly afterwards and I am still with the band I joined the same month. I have seen a few of them in different groups.

Funny, because yesterday this popped up on my youtube, which is obviously before that: Then there is another one at the end of 1974 with Neil Peart, so you can contrast with the same songs Actually it might be the video of the same audio

Well, not much you can do. I would just reply as short as possible and leave it at that. Who knows what might come in the future. But it does suck. Although on the positive side, at least they told you, I was once asked to join and then contacted later to change their mind because they decided I would be too busy (like how do they know?).

I think that is pretty impressive, and I am not bothered either way with level 42. I wouldn't say there was an issue with vocals at all.

a bike accident in my 20s caused mine a lot later

Looks nicer in normal light. I think when they are down to £1k I might be tempted! That was also pretty quick. Sorry again for mentioning it though

Trust me, the day I went into hospital, I got there at 8, no food, got put in a stupid gown and got labels put on. i sat there until 3pm while one by one everyone went out, until it was me and the reception woman (I was feeling bad for her, she clearly wanted to go home), watching homes under the hammer and other daytime TV, and then I was finally wheeled to theatre. The operation was the best part of the day! And.. it was my birthday. And it has to be said that that knee is one of my favourites now.

I like gold hardware, but not that much

Weird having your knee done, in that it is done under local anaesthetic (well, an epidural) with sedation, so when you sort of come round, there are a lot of people gathered round you hammering your knee with general tools. You don't feel it of course, but you do feel the force of being pushed into the bed. Still, nice you get to see some of it happening.

Does it? I guess any latency adds up. Certainly not an issue for my use, it is exclusively used practicing in the house or band practice. Every single thing will add latency, if you add them together they make more. How much is audible depends on what you are playing / listening to.

Not brave, trust me after two weeks you will be climbing the walls• desperate to do anything! • well, err, not actually climbing!

I had knee replacement surgery 2 weeks and 1 day before a gig. I sat down during the gig and everyone carried all my equipment and set it up. was actually quite a good gig, although not very rock'n'roll!

Zany and fun would be quite a talent. I have yet to see anyone pull that off. I will take your word that he has talent. Maybe I haven't watched enough of those 'britains got talent' things to know what talent is I have no idea what information he is trying to impart - I can't get past his idea of fun, certainly not entertaining, I really can't stand him. I can't remember any reviews of something where they mention the string spacing?

Oh the playing was fine, the guy who hosted it I cant stand. I saw him in the EHB ibanez headless thread - sadly it is the video with the most information on the EHB, but given by him, so almost 60 seconds of actual info on the EHB is given in his 5 minute video. Yes, his playing is good. I watched it with captions on, pressing the unmute when the guy started playing.

There was, when I first looked, a matt black one available at that price too. Seems to have gone now.
