I agree with you and maybe that's the same reason I couldn't play in a band because I'm a human being not a metronome. Next time I enter composition challenge on BC I'll post the bass track separately to get less brownie points. In my teens and early 20s all I needed was long hair, loud amp, cool bass and being able to play galloping finger style and I was in. Unless a pub punter is one of us, general public goes to watch live band to have fun. I went to see Testament 3 years ago or so, the bass wasn't very impressive, he had technical issues and made it so obvious. Did anyone else noticed, maybe...but maybe 99% of the audience was head banging and moshing.

Maybe they didn't record with click tracks in those days?

I love isolated bass tracks. After all it's a bass line and in most cases it proves it doesn't need to be complicated or have copious amount of pedals used. Surely there are lots of amateiur players around who would not be happy recording these "sloppy" tracks, but what's the point if the final product matters.

If I do , it's TC spectracomp.

Nothing else matters Metallica

I've got a condenser mic C1 and a pair of C2. I've used C1 for guitar amp, vocals and now for kick drum. I've used a pair of C2 for recording an acoustic, crystal clear result! Now they are also used as overheads in ORTF configuration. They pick up the slightest sound. Cheap? I'd say good value for money.

I've heard it now 3 times but it's not something that blew me away. There seem to be some guitar riffs that I'm not sure about. It would fit in with any latest Maiden album. Will have to give it few goes or perhaps listen to the whole album in 3rd of September 😉

Yep, been a fan since 80s but somewhat never had opportunity to see them, can't wait . The line up seems to have all members minus Dan Spitz.

I bought a ticket through Planet Rock. viagogo sells them at 2.36 times the price!!!!!

Never Surrender by Saxon on planet rock.

Another song from new Maiden album on planet rock played tonight after 6 pm.......

Already bought one at Christmas and it's comfortable without trying it before buying. Thanks anyway

I remember turning up outside a stadium in 1991 and buying a ticket for Monsters of Rock. Queensryche, Motley Crue, Metallica ( black album) and AC/DC ( Razors Edge). Bought seated ticket but for Metallica and ACDC we ended up in front of the stage. Good old times! No annoying mobile phones to restrict your view.

Further to my previous post. Most agree than Di' Anno suited the first two Maiden albums, it's how we know Maiden and if there was a different singer back then we would have different opinions because we wouldn't know different. Di' Annno was not professional when he " challenged" the fan , he should've ignored it. There are other you tube videos out there where he however shows respect to Bruce. Fame doesn't last forever. After No prayer for dying I kept reverting to older albums. I gave X Factor and virtual XI a chance to listen as there is some good material. 2000 onwards, some great songs. Still go and see them live though. New album? To be honest, it won't be better than 80' s material.

I finally have a chance to or wanting to see Anthrax. They play at 02 Academy in Brixton in October 22. BUT, Priority tickets have been on sale since yesterday 10 am until Friday 9 am. Tickweb pre sale starts today at 10 am which leaves me with General sale on Friday at 10 am! What are the chances of getting a good seated ticket. I am not into moshing anymore, I'd rather watch the show , gear etc. Is there a way to get decent tickets nowadays without being a VIP or fan club member?

I've tried to use auto tune but couldn't set it up. So, I use various vocal mixing techniques which I think preserves the vocals but bring them to a new dimension.

Ableton live, have been using it with Windows for 6 + years

Is this a knock knock joke?

Voted, hoping to enter soon

I don't care what Maiden haters say, I've been a Maiden fan since The Number of the Beast album release. I like DiAnno and Dickinson era. Bailey also fits well. After No prayer for Dying , it took longer for some of the albums to get used to, but even Virtual XI has some great work there. I always prefer listening to the 80s Maiden and occasionally dip in post 90s Maiden material but one thing is for sure, I won't change with fashion. First gig was SSOTSS, latest was Book of Soul where I met Dennis Stratton outside 02 going to the gig. I managed to get Nicko's drum stick during a gig and hopefully one day it'll be Steve wrist band. Up the Irons!

Brilliant, how did I miss this post?

Voted

Tormentor!

Was that for Maidens seventh tour of a seventh tour?

No, originally from Europe, but living in the UK majority of my life so didn't think bands like Kreator, Halloween, Running Wild would be popular in UK. Scorpions did.
