The Foo Fighters just released film, has been getting a bit of a slating by the critics. This shouldn't be surprising as it rarely bodes well when a band decide to make a film. We're not talking about documentaries, or films they just appear in, but films in which the band star in and 'act'. IMO Slade's In Flame was decent, and Hard Days Night had it's moments, but are your thoughts, good or bad about bands making films?

@neepheid earplugs, yes! But they are a given for me, as I have the little case attached to my keys so I always have them.

As others have said - depends on the gig. Especially as to taking a rig or combo. But the minimum is still bass, and Snapdragon folding bass as a backup. Fully charged wireless, plus a lead. FX pedals or multi FX.

i'm glad you did, because I was seriously considering it even though I can't really justify it at the moment! 😆

if something can go wrong it will?

Prior to my fitting, I bought some ear wax softener from the chemist. Ingredients 100% olive oil! 😠

i've heard a Sex Pistol play it

Not on a whim, but conductors do change the score, and soloists do change the lead.

ZZ Top, could just stand behind microphone stands all gig, yet still exuded cool and charisma.

Many years ago I had PF350. It sounded brutal through a 4x10 in the practice room. Proper Ampeg tone too. It just wasn't loud enough for a classic rock band gig. Shouldn't have that problem with the 800

Classical music performed from a pre-composed score is often different when recorded. Often due to time and space limitations, but also when repeated sections are omitted, or variations of a repeated section ar not used etc. But also different conductors will play each piece differently. If you are interested, Google Bernstein talking about how Beethoven's Third can sound with different conductors

Don Simmons

i remember reading a John Lennon interview, in which he said many of The Beatles transcriptions were wrong because they had been done by "proper musicians". Things like playing a minor 3rd over a major chord (to be a bit bluesy) were seen as errors and 'corrected'.

Love the finish 🤩 I may be in the minority, but I like the black scratch plate, although I would prefer all black hardware.

Are these gigs paid gigs?

But what about the other side of the stage? 😉

If you do leave, make sure that before you leave you get back any equipment of yours that the band use, or that you may have lent to other band members. I speak from experience...

No more Putney Amps, or Guitar Aid For future reference, is there anywhere else in SW London?

Another shout out for the BDI21. For around £20 for something that sounds good you can't go wrong.

Boyz II Men Bros Boyzone Backstreet Boys The Men They Couldn't Hang Men at Work

Nope. In terms of RRP under £400 to over £1k.

Beg to differ...

The Macc Lads?
