Elvis is not Dead! I've no idea what just happened ,it posted numerous times.

A month ago an e bay seller refunded the postage telling me there is a Royal Mail strike, what a nice gesture. Now they are on strike again and my item is late again. Another parcels that should've arrived yesterday, the tracking says: Routed to incorrect depot. This is Hermes, they changed their name to Evri but the service quality did not, still appalling!

Anthrax on Saturday, Brixton academy. Unfortunately trains may be cancelled due to strike. So trying to find a safe parking nearby...

Came back from work, and managed to vote ,just

Ha Ting Over ill Ross Quiet Rio Price

How much would the postage be?

Most my songs are written on basis of coincidence. I am unable to sit down and "write/compose" a song , not even for a monthly BC challenge inspired by a pic. It's all random for me, the idea just appears. It can start with a drum beat, chorus , solo or bass line etc. Then I either work around it or match the rest like a puzzle. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and hum a tune and record it in my phone. Other times it's a a pure randomness/ coincidence, for example I am tuning a guitar/bass, finding a sound on my keyboards and there it is ,idea just pops up. Lyrics, often don't make sense, just trying to rhyme them Ab ab abcd abcd etc. It's all about how I feel with music and lyrics....

Allllllllllll righty then!

They couldn't do it right!

Scott Ian still rocks So does Kerry King And does Michael Kiske As well as Rob Harford Blaze Bailey too Who needs hair...

They're not getting any younger

My bass hibernates most of the summer as I tend to be spending most of time outdoors/outside. But it's not the bass it's my hands feel colder in winter despite heating being turned on.

Ask for a deposit for for the bass is worth, and both sign a contract. If the bass is stolen.....or extensive damaged.....at least it's covered.

Gets harder to vote each month but voted regardless. I don't tend to play much during the sunny/warm months as I use garden as means of escapism.

My favourite Maiden cover. From this To this The bas line and guitar intro it's simply astonishing

A year later....

Not my cup of tea,but he changed appearance

In 2007 I was 9 years absent from bass playing and music. Then started playing again around 2010, never really practised as I learned the Maiden bass lines I wanted to play. No need to impress anyone really, it's good enough for my own music.

Is it for sale? And would you post?

He would have formed G4 with Satriani, Vai and Malmsteen

Totally agree, doesn't need much creativity to compose either. Have you ever listened to the quality on the monthly Basschat challenge?

I've seen this a while ago, and it's very true. There are also similarities in between metal/rock songs or metal and pop. E.g. the start of the guitar solo by Adrian Smith in The Gangland from The Number of The Beast, is similar to The Final Countdown by Europe. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner- Iron Maiden intro is similar to that of It's a Sin by Pet Shop Boys.

I have seldom been a victim of GAS, but could do with a bigger music room. The drums take up space and I could do with one more bass to satisfy my finger tips.

Great work all around!

I understand that, there was a note. But if I'm in the area to kill time I wanted to have a wander around the shop to see what the fuss was all about and it would be a degree of awkwardness if I said " I'm not buying, just looking around". I think there are more window shoppers nowadays than buyers. And for ' have to press the doorbell" I choose to go elsewhere in future.
