[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='392839' date='Jan 27 2009, 03:48 PM']Damn, that is cheap, but it almost weighs as much as me! I'd never consider it unless I had a residency somewhere and didn’t have to shift the f***er around [/quote] Haha I really am very close to pulling the trigger. Does anyone know what hight (in feet) these are?

Good head for metal? OK it's a deal, here's some metal.

[quote name='Linus27' post='392238' date='Jan 26 2009, 10:51 PM']I'm thinking more this for Indie than Radiohead and The Verve.

[quote name='Linus27' post='392176' date='Jan 26 2009, 09:41 PM']That also describes Indie music down to a T :)[/quote] Since when has Indie Been fast or fun? have you heard Radiohead? or The Verve? I nearly slit my wrists thinking about them. I should have added with an edge, Indie always sounds by-numbers to me.

[quote name='Linus27' post='392172' date='Jan 26 2009, 09:35 PM']I guess it depends on what generation you are from.[/quote] I'm from the Epitaph/Fat Wreck/Dischord era I personally think that's when Punk peaked it was a oasis between the posers of the 70's and the modern pussy's with dyed black hair and jeans that are far too tight.

[quote name='Jase' post='392044' date='Jan 26 2009, 07:32 PM']What exactly qualifies for punk? [/quote] I think of Punk as being fast fun music with a social conscience on independent labels. Perfect example.

[quote name='Hamster' post='392133' date='Jan 26 2009, 09:04 PM']You probably know this, but don't use it on any maple fingerboards[/quote] Just out of curiosity what does it do to maple boards? I bought some for my old OLP guitar but couldn't use it because of that very reason.

Punk wedding anyone?

[quote name='Linus27' post='391930' date='Jan 26 2009, 05:16 PM']Yeah this is so very true. My old band was classed as catchy guitar based punk pop. What that was really saying was the songs were catching so thats the catchy and pop label. Played like a band on guitars as apposed to keyboards so thats the guitar link. Had a fast energetic noisy up for it sound and attitude so thats the punk label. Similar bands to us were Ash, Feeder, Early Manics. So I can see the connection to punk pop and not really sure what else you could class it as. Pop, well no as thats Girls Aloud. Guitar pop, well no as thats Travis, Semisonic, Blur, The Smiths. Rock, well no thats Bon Jovi, U2, Queen. Metal, no thats anything like Metalica, GnR. Its all very confusing especially when you try and add Indie bands into the mix.[/quote] Indie? Ash, Feeder and the Manics are not Punk bands.

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='391331' date='Jan 25 2009, 11:06 PM']Lovely Wood Green... epicentre of violent crime and general naughtiness.[/quote] When I was a kid Wood Green Shopping City was a regular haunt.

[quote name='steantval' post='391261' date='Jan 25 2009, 09:30 PM']If highly skilled musicians = pretentious, I'm happy with that. The majority of us musicians always stride to improve our playing skills to a higher level, then pretentious we all shall be. I would opt for the category of being a pretentious musician rather than a crap musician.[/quote] And I would opt for a fun musician over a bunch of dull musicians.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='391094' date='Jan 25 2009, 05:58 PM']* Just realised I've left out the biggest offender of the lot - "Progressive" Metal. I'd rather go down on a tramp than listen to that nonsense. Music to paint Space Marines to.[/quote] Genius

[quote name='steantval' post='391033' date='Jan 25 2009, 04:04 PM']Each to their own. Never got the punk thing, most of it was a bit thrashy and very simple as illustrated by a lot of these clips on this thread. As for the guy shouting out to the crowd that Matt Freeman is the best bassist in the world, he needs to get his head out of his arse. Sloppy solo, good for punk I guess but when put in perspective does not even measure on the scale against the likes of Geddy Lee etc.[/quote] Ha ha Rush are the most pretentious band in the world with there heads firmly in there arses.

I got a wicked picture of my rig last night.

[quote name='Starvolt' post='389840' date='Jan 23 2009, 05:39 PM']Went and got it from the DHL Centre today, so I've put my sticker on, and taken a photo. I must say I do like the colour; it's a translucentey purple, which I hadn't noticed in the other photo. Here it is with me old Squier, and yes, I need to tidy my room![/quote] Awesome, what does your sticker say mate?

It was sh*t.

[quote name='Currrls' post='389721' date='Jan 23 2009, 04:06 PM']I was thinking somewhere between 50 and 100[/quote] I'm sure we can come to some arrangement, I would need to pay now and pick up quite a bit later, would that be a problem?
