Agreed. Given the eagerness of many to cast stones, releasing B-stock this early is mystifying.

That’s hardly Warwick’s fault, or an eff up, they designed it.

Another thing?

Oooh, adjust-a-nuts

He had pretty much removed himself as a player from Echobrain, who were winding down, before he joined Voivod. He did double duty on Ozzfest tour, doing the Voivod set and then playing Ozzy’s set afterwards. This video is well worth watching for anyone who hasn’t seen it.He goes into the bullying and Hetfield’s objection to him having side projects (he had projects with Andreas from Sepultura and Tom Hunting from Exodus before Echobrain and even guests on a track on Sepultura’s Against album) and Echobrain was the clincher. Great player, he doesn't get as much credit as he should because he plays with a plec but, on the first F&J album in particular, he is a beast, before Metallica squeezed the life out of him.

Yeah, the first Chic album (Dance, Dance, Dance. Strike Up The Band, Everybody Dance) was a P , after that it was the Stingray. I recall an anecdote from John Taylor where he had borrowed Bernard's Stingray (possibly the first Power Station album?) and came in one day to be horrified to discover one of the studio hands, seeing how old the strings were, cut them off and restrung it. John, naturally, went ballistic.

"Weller's got this much talent."

Find something Stingrayish with flats and you'll be there quicker than you can click your heels three times.

A 4-way tie! This needs more votes!

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen, a wonderfully mixed and balanced song.

Whatever about what’s not there, ranking Another One Bites the Dust higher than Good Times is... ehhh... perverse, let’s say.

Nice bass, but maybe take a pic of the other side of the box without your phone number and address on it?

As I recall, they wanted a committed number of buyers within a very tight timeframe, just a few weeks. I don't know how many people would have two grand to spare so handily so I wouldn't quite say they didn't get enough interest, not without qualifying it. I'd say they might have found buyers if it wasn't such a time-limited offer but I got the impression BP wasn't keen on the idea either way. 18mm is about as tight as I find playable. A 19mm SR5 was of big interest to me back then but there was no way I could have magic'd up the money so quickly.

Nice one!

Not one of these sentences makes a lick of sense

Good stuff, hope it works out for you.

Add tools who leave their pedalboards on the stage and I’m with you.

If you play BASS!!!!! like you TYPE!!!!! then I think I UNDERSTAND!!!!! why.

After checking out Phoebe Bridgers on the other thread, I ended up getting her new album on Bandcamp.

The actors were fine, but they had Ian Curtis playing an Eastwood! Never mind musicians in movies, let's talk about instruments 😉

Bruce Springsteen then.

So... it's Rod Stewart's fault?

Having read a little of the interview in question, it looks like a throwaway line in a pop song being blown out of all proportion, in accordance with the times we live in.

It'll push the bounds out of any standard gig-bag or case, that's for sure.
