One for the train wreck gigs thread 😆

Loopholes? I'm going to use my Boss ME-50B with guitar as well. Some of the distortions work quite well, the delays and compressors are the same, and the modulation fx don't sound any different. Does this mean I'm still in?

There's a documentary about Motley Crue, and back in the LA Club days they were getting a bit of a slating by Metallica. Fast forward a few years, and Metallica want to work with Bon Jovi's producer, then a couple of years later start wearing makeup themselves.

As not to derail this thread, details here.

Alice in Chains, have sold theirs for $50 million. Paltry by comparison 😉

It's about the tax. Apparently less is paid on the purchase amount, than would be paid yearly. Or something 😆

Not harsh, note the smiley faces 😁

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-60322525 M&B Promotions has gone bust. Will this be the first of many? Time will tell...

"(or those who got lumped into the scene)"

Although it's not my thing, I did want to play in a Gunge tribute type band so I could wear this t shirt my Mother bought me on her travels

I had a Black Widow 1*15. They must be a rite-of-passage 😆

Not true at all! They can determine if there’s an underlying cause, and then address that issue through medications or surgery. If there is no identifiable cause, they can recommend remedies that can help reduce its intensity. Don't be afraid of asking for a second opinion.

There was a thread a while ago (years?) about wearing gloves to play @xilddx was an advocate.

Apparently Billy Sheehan was told no bass shredding on Skyscraper, the second Dave Lee Roth album.

I had it on at the gym. Damn it's funky! 🤩 Noticed myself starting to boogie along 😆

Ok, wow! Betting it sounds even better from 20 feet away! 😎

I think it's important to remember that people known for playing vintage Fenders, were often playing Fenders that were not vintage. For example, Jamerson's stock '62 P bass was not a vintage bass when he was playing it in the 60's.

All of them tbh. But finances and space meant I had to 😟

As per the thread title, in terms of train wreck 'moments', rather than the whole gigs, I'm sure we've all had plenty of those? At various gigs I have had to, and other band members have had to: Catch a falling PA speaker that a (drunk) punter has crashed into. Do some tap dancing because a (drunk) punter stepped on one or more FX pedals. Deal with the (drunk) punter who tries to take a microphone. Avoid the (drunk) and usually (always) female punter who is trying to steal my hat while I'm playing. Plenty more...

A case in point: When Darryl Jones asked Keith Richards how a particular 'Stones bass part went, and Keith replied "you're the bass player, you tell me".

Want to tell that to Bootsy Collins or Chris Wolsteholme?

There are details on BC somewhere, for a company who rent pedals, so you can try a whole bunch before you buy.
