Wait... Some Guys Have All The Luck is a cover? 🤯

The 'oo. The muscle of Live At Leeds (or even the Isle of Wight) vs the puny studio albums up to that point is like two different bands. Can't Live Without It by Gang Green is wonderful, with a real energy which the albums don't quite match. Rush in Rio pumps a lot of fire into songs from their tamer 80's material. I wouldn't say If You Want Blood easily outdoes their studio stuff. The likes of Powerage still sound fantastic.

It'd be cool if one of you wore it on a t-shirt at a gig.

Back to Norway... Ondt Blod put on one of the best gigs I have ever seen, had a total Joliet Jake moment, I saw the light.

Sweden for sure: The Wannadies, Europe, The Cardigans, Esbjorn Svensson Trio, Entombed, At The Gates, TSOOL, Opeth, The Hives... Abba?

If you play the drinking game, where when you recognise a situation you've been in during your own musical career, you take a swig, you might as well call in sick for work now and save yourself having to do it tomorrow.

I last watched it a couple of weeks ago, followed by the deleted scenes. It gets fairly regular airings in this house.

Legacy? Stop doing what you enjoy doing to protect the feelings of people who have nothing to do with you?

Incredible work. Fantastic!

Go active. EMGs have much weaker magnets and the preamp in the pickup does the work. That should solve any magnetic pull trouble.

If I want to hear the nuances of Tommy, I can do that at home. I want to experience Live at Leeds, if you get what I mean. I'd rather it raw and genuinely live than an effort to perfectly replicate the recording. For me, live is all about the musical energy and, in the parlance of the young people "living the moment", by both band and audience. I generally don't go to big gigs where you get all the elaborate visual fluff but I do understand why it's done in this day and age. There is a beauty, however, with an adrenaline-fuelled blast through a song 20bpm faster than the original, which gives genuinely live music that something extra. It should be a different experience, filled with flaws and, for want of a better term, humanity.

Just don't buy it. They're too old too come to your house and force you to listen to it, anymore.

I offered to buy it off him when he first put the ad up. He had agreed to ship it abroad but then told me he'd wait a while to see if he got any local buyers first. Also, there are quite a few cracks around the output jack which isn't made clear in the pictures in the ad. It would have sold on day one but these two things made me walk away.

The keyboardist can also conceal their uncoolness under their cape.

The most uncool thing possible, even if done ironically.

Next up on GB News, the weather!

Just because it's a band, it doesn't mean you can't behave like a grown up. I don't think I've ever fallen out with any members of any of my many former bands (first band was in 1990 so have been in quite a few over the years) and a lot of my friends now are people I've met through being in a band with them. I did lose a singer halfway through a gig, he just walked off stage and straight out the door, didn't pass go, but that got smoothed over quickly enough. Yeah, be an adult and communicate openly and it'll all be grand. Life is too short for spending time with emotionally stunted people.

A lot of blues utilises different tunings, often open D and open G. Joni Mitchell used "Nashville" tuning a fair bit too on her guitar-based stuff. I quite like dropped A in standard tuning, ie AADGBE, it's fun to mess around in.

Everybody will agree, I'm sure, that the greatest of all the bubbles was a chimpanzee. Join the King of Pop's ghost on his journey through the nine circles of hell, trying to find his old pal. The technical stuff, generally the same as usual, Yamaha drums through t-bone mics into a Behringer pre. Bass is an ESP 400 Series tuned AEAD into an Avid Eleven. Guitar is an Ibanez RG into a Fryette amp into a Palmer speaker emulator, tuned to a dropped A - AADGBE. Synths are in Reason, voice is Talkany and it's mixed in Protools.

There's always Orbital goggles

Clearly a lefty cymbal set

You need to show the neck pocket. Measure the width. The Schecter has a fretboard extension which is covering the important bit, how the butt of the neck fits the neck pocket. See the standard Fender shape and dimensions here and compare to what you have. https://warmoth.com/bass-neck-fit

Perhaps if they tried something which offered a reason to buy it, a unique selling point, something like that. What was the point of the Dimension, what did it do that hundreds of other basses don't already do?

Oranges are tasty.
