HEre's some more, these are great... Alice Cooper/Vincent Damon Furnier Bob Dylan/Robert Allen Zimmerman Courtney Love/Courtney Michelle Harrison David Bowie/David Robert Hayward-Jones Eddie Vedder/ Edward Louis Severson III Elton John/Reginald Kenneth Dwight Elvis Costello/Declan Patrick McManus Freddie Mercury/Farookh Bulsara Huey Lewis/Hugh Anthony Cregg III Iggy Pop/James Newell Osterburg Jr John Kay (Steppenwolf)/Joachim Fritz Krauledat and possibly my favourite.. Nikki Sixx/Frank Carlton Serafino Feranna Jr

If I ever get famous I'm totally ditching my full name in favour of a stage name. Mainly because I don't want my now ex husband, who's surname I still have, to get any credit 🤣

A lot of musicians use different names or 'characters' when they play, similar in a way that actors/actresses might use a 'stage' name. Some examples -(stage name vs real name) Bruno Mars – Peter Gene Hernandez. ... Eminem – Marshall Mathers 3. ... Lady Gaga - Stefani Joanne Germanotta. ... Drake — Aubrey Drake Graham. ... Snoop Dogg — Calvin Broadus Jr. ... Frank Ocean - Christopher Edwin Breaux. ... Gene Simmons - Chaim Witz. ... Shania Twain – Eileen Regina Edwards Is this something you do or have considered? I've thought about it, if only because the non musician me is boring/nerdy and not very interesting lol! Is you had to pick a stage name, what would it be?

This was what I was going to say

It's got some nice technical bits including the intro and the use of chords, as well as just being an awesome track to play

With a backing track. The main reason I picked it is because RATM is something I'm comfortable playing, ENJOY playing but were also instrumental in being one of the reasons & driving forces in me learning bass at all.

good point!

Haha, that's crazy. I love it

A bucket to puke in and someone to sub for me while I'm having a 3 hour long panic attack

Best. Thread. Ever.

I literally have panic/anxiety disorders, IT'S WHAT i DO BEST

I changed my mind...today we RAGE

I applied for the Music degree with Bass at ACM and I've had confirmation that I've got an audition in a couple of weeks! EEEEK. It's the day after my birthday as well so no drinking for me lol! I've decided to do Bombtrack by Rage against the machine as my performance piece, but I need to revise my theory as there's other bits I have to do to show my understanding of theory, groove, timing etc. OH GOD.

No but I am a runner... anything is possible lol

I think today might be a metallica day as we'll be covering 'enter sandman' in our covers band

Thanks guys, that's really helpful!

Dean town by Vulfpeck Still can't play it at more than 80% of the speed 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I'm a bit of a synth newbie, but our covers band are doing 'Fox on the run' by sweet. Is there any way of getting something reasonably like that initial synth intro using a Boss SYB5? I also have an OC3 octave and EHX bass clone. Typically I don't have an expression pedal but I do have a volume and wah. any ideas?

Would? - Alice in Chains

Yea it's a fun setlist!

So the covers band I'm involved with want backing vocals. The singer is female, as am I, so me doing back makes sense. But I'm a total newbie when it comes to backing vocals. I know that any backing with generally be the harmony on the 3rd or ideally the 5th because it doesn't change to major/minor... but how do you actually learn HOW to play and sing at the same time??

I went to PMT in Birmingham for my new head/cab and their service was excellent. They're my go to now.

Today I'm listening through the covers setlist ahead of our band's first rehearsal on Friday night after a year of COVID lockdown WOOP https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0lPBVRfYKgkIraq6shhce9?si=9ebad735b3e748e7
