  1. You are of course entitled to your opinion, and your feelings are valid. For me, I don't really believe Elton John thinks it's alright to fight on a Saturday night, or that The Proclaimers really would walk 1,000 miles, or that Sting really thought every little thing she did was magic. I think it's possible for a lyricist/author/screenwriter to write a story about characters, without necessarily sharing the opinions of those characters. I don't think it's necessary to agree with the sentiment of a song to perform it. Musical theatre is on my side here πŸ™‚
  2. what are peoples preference on colour? Skin tone so they blend in, or a colour that makes them stand out?
  3. My old metal band from a few years ago with a song wot I wrote. During the studio sesh, I foolishly left the bass solo until last meaning my fingers were shot, so it's not exactly how I played it live. I never had a problem getting 'attack' being a finger player. Basses, always one of my Shukers. Live, depended on the gig, but usually a tuner > distortion > BDI21 > PA.
  4. I'll resist the urge to post a load of opera, and Beethoven's 9th!
  5. First post of this thread: Flea commented on how all the big rock bands such as RHCP, Metallica, Foo Fighters, U2 are still going and are the only bands that can fill big arenas. As if a wall was erected in the late 90’s and no one can get over it.
  6. I saw Bauhaus in '98. They did 4 encores. Fake or not they were awesome 😎
  7. According to the Beeb, Delta variant cases have risen by 75% and the Welsh First Minister reckons they're at the start of a third wave. What this actually means in real figures I don't know.
  8. Share Pederson - Vixen - could slap, pop, and tap with the best of them. I had a recording of Vixen supporting The Scorpions at Hammy O in '89 and she does an awesome bass solo. Can't think of another bassist in a mainstream band who was doing that kind of thing at the time apart from Billy Sheehan? The clip below is a bit later.
  9. Tell that to the The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit πŸ˜‰ https://www.forbes.com/sites/legalentertainment/2018/12/14/controversial-blurred-lines-suit-ends-in-5-million-verdict/?sh=32da2caf6ffe
  10. Depends what is meant by 'influential'. Sid Vicious probably inspired a lot of people to play bass.
  11. if it ain't Big Jim, it ain't Faith No More!
  12. Led Clones, on the After the War album, sung by Ozzy Osbourne.
  13. Before Punk: Guitarist wanted. No breadheads on a heavy trip. After Punk: Guitarist wanted. No beards. - Guy Pratt.
  14. Even better, you're not going to steal anyone's girlfriend 😜
  15. The Junkyard Has also been known to provide the occasional curry and decent beer too. Not a commercial enterprise though 😜
