  1. This album along with We Want Miles was my introduction to Marcus Miller. Still his best era, in my opinion.
  2. To me the most extraordinary thing about all this is how Black Sabbath have become part of the mainstream. I literally grew up listening to Sabbath. I remember when I was a child my friends older brothers having Black Sabbath albums and me being fascinated by the artwork, even if I couldn't really understand the music at such a young age. By the time Never Say Die came out I was into it, though. Sabbath were my favourite band. Back in those day, Sabbath were an enigma. You hardly ever saw them on television or heard them on the radio. You certainly didn't know much about the individual personalities or their lives. They had a mystique to them. Nowadays they are celebrated as a national institution. They played at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. They appear on breakfast TV. We all know what Ozzy's kitchen looks like. They've become another media-led commodity. It's all a bit weird to me, and something I never dreamt I would see in my lifetime. The real Black Sabbath disappeared into history in a puff of white powder many years ago. They belong in another era, when they were untamed and a bit dangerous. What you are seeing today is a pantomime based on a true story, performed by geriatrics.
  3. Who decides what constitutes "high risk"? To me, Coldplay are a high risk band. There's a high risk they will bore me to death.
  4. Might as well give the broadcast rights to GB News. We could have three full days of self-righteous indignation and moral outrage. Jeremy Kyle could go round telling festival goers to get a job and sort their life out, stop spending money on drugs, tattoos, smashed avocados and Palestinian flags and pay proper child support ect.
  5. If your asking seriously I'd say if you can't easily afford it, don't buy it. If you're in a long-term partnership you shouldn't want to disregard or undermine the other person. Where's the joy in getting a new bass when your loved one is left sucking lemons? If you are going to get a new bass despite your other half being furious at the prospect then at least get her something too as a present . Maybe cleaning equipment, some deodorant or a weight loss DVD. Always goes down well.
  6. If only it wasn't purple. Otherwise it looks to be a very versatile and useful bass. Sounds great on the demos. Sods law that Frank Bello is the only rocker out there who wouldn't choose black.
  7. Everyone, especially the BBC, keeps going on about how"emotional" Lewis Capaldi's set was. Of course he was emotional! He'd just had his kebab wrestled away, been dragged out of the catering tent and forced to perform.
  8. I'm boycotting the rest of Glasto now. For political reasons. That I won't be going into here. Countryfile is on BBC1 soon. Calm me right down, hopefully.
  9. Rod seems to have little self-awareness or sense of irony. I suppose at this stage in his life that must be a blessing.
  10. Indeed. Or dysentery.
  11. Very much so. These artists have experienced way too much angst to be able to hold a tune. Just try and appreciate the authenticity of their pain.
  12. The heroin is probably less expensive than the cheese nowadays🙁. Especially if you factor in the price of cream crackers.
  13. I used to see him pushing his trolley round my local supermarket. He used to wear shades and try not to be recognised, even though he wasn't very famous in those days.
  14. The Libertines are looking (and sounding) a bit fat and middle-aged aren't they? They need to go to the gym or, probably more likely, get back on the gear.
  15. These Cirrus basses sound really good, great design ect, but the 35 inch scale was a big mistake in my opinion.
  16. Try and get Rod to unblock your toilet, you'll soon find out.
  17. Complete twaddle😆. I love it ! Keep it up👍
  18. Yes, I know exactly what I'm doing, I think... I'm a bit uncertain about what you think I'm doing, though, or why you think I should be pulled up on it. Anyhow, I've enjoyed some good Glasto today, and I hope everyone else has too. Like I said before, if the bands are good then fair enough, and if they're bad then even better. It would've been exciting if they had shown Kneecap live, but that's a bit too much to expect from the dullards currently running the BBC, who stand by their arcane principals until someone comes along and claims to be offended. And as we all know nowadays, offending someone is the worst thing to do.
  19. I'm certainly not angry, I can't speak for anybody else. I think what she said is very funny, even if it wasn't meant to be. Probably because it wasn't meant to be.
  20. Energetic? That's one way of putting it. I think the clue is in the name of the band! 😄
  21. To be fair, there's something timeless about Neil Young. He still sounds just like he always has; shambolic. That's his great strength, though. Long may he continue.
  22. Raye: "It's great to see so many genders out there!" What, you mean both of them? Yes it's amazing isn't it. Thank goodness she isn't stupid.
  23. I thought she was terrific on Later. For me, she's got real star quality. Like we've both said, there's a huge divergence of opinion on what's good and what's not. Nothing wrong with that.
  24. Biff Byford!
  25. It just shows how tastes can differ because I thought English Teacher were very dull. Contemporary alternative rock by numbers. There is nothing remotely new or original about their music or performance. For me, CMAT have stolen the show so far from what I have seen.
