[quote name='icastle' post='1096173' date='Jan 20 2011, 11:18 AM']Yep - it's even managed to overshadow the Drummer Jokes thread... [/quote] Don't worry, that will speed up. Garry

[quote name='silddx' post='1095338' date='Jan 19 2011, 04:29 PM'] HAHAHAHA! I hadn't seen the vids until ten minutes ago. This is my favourite so far. Sheer madness, X Factor audition quality [/quote] I think he is better than X factor audition quality. At 02.16 on the video, he reminds all the folks that got lost in the vast array of movement, key & time changes that are In the complex arrangement - where ONE is. Now not many X Factor folks can claim to know that [or even Drummers] Garry

[quote name='silddx' post='1095370' date='Jan 19 2011, 05:06 PM']And? [/quote] Indeed. Garry

[quote name='Jam' post='1095299' date='Jan 19 2011, 03:56 PM']Good advice, that![/quote] Especially if you do an audition for 'The Slits' Garry

[quote name='silddx' post='1095183' date='Jan 19 2011, 02:20 PM']The abuse has been very rare, and was really all from a single person who shared the same moniker as a leading brodcast organisation.[/quote] Well i tended to lose interest when he was involved, so would have ducked out and missed it - nothing to offer me on a Musical level. Garry

[quote name='silddx' post='1095180' date='Jan 19 2011, 02:18 PM']Perhaps, but certainly not always. I would agree that the further up the ladder we go, the less we should shoot our gobs off. You won't hear Geddy Lee slagging anyone off. On the other hand, Scott Thunes does, but that may contribute the the fact he doesn't work much.[/quote] Have you not read the Pat Metheny rant over Kenny G?...Priceless Garry

[quote name='silddx' post='1095165' date='Jan 19 2011, 02:09 PM'] I sort of agree with you, but really, I think they should be able to stick up for themselves a bit better than they have. All art is open to interpretation and recieveng the attendant c[b]riticism/opinion[/b].[/quote] I agree with that.... But its when criticism/opinion turns into abuse - [all from the safety of a user name, internet connection and hiding in the bedroom] Garry

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1094743' date='Jan 19 2011, 04:03 AM']what do you think of its subject..im saying nothing..[/quote] Why start a thread and say nothing? Just curious.. One thing with the dude - he is getting a bit of exposure over at TB. Garry

[quote name='northstreet' post='1094397' date='Jan 18 2011, 08:36 PM']I've always played the bass part under the solo on the E. I've also always played the high part as G/G octave/F#/F# octave[/quote] ouch. Garry

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1094579' date='Jan 18 2011, 10:38 PM'] [/quote] Always loved that toon, and the big fat Bass sound. [and the first few video frames of that girls, erm.....] Garry

A couple from the past. I think this need to be on the list. Its even got Funk & Groove in the Lyrics.... And a very young Marcus, Chaka and Lenny White. Garry

[quote name='Rich' post='1092488' date='Jan 17 2011, 01:50 PM']Yes, get the CD anyway and listen to it, a lot. Some truly wonderful music [/quote] The Dave Grusin take on it is just fantastic, some stunning arranging. Enjoy. Garry

[quote name='skej21' post='1091863' date='Jan 16 2011, 09:36 PM']the MD is stressed to bits[/quote] This is quite normal, and during rehearsals leading up to opening night, They then become suicidal. You can usually help this along by supplying some rusty razor blades. Use the time and listen to the CD and just get really familiar with the show. Good luck with the show - its a great play with some serious tunes. Garry

[quote name='Blademan_98' post='1086777' date='Jan 12 2011, 03:07 PM']I then read in a self help book that if you omit the third / flat third you can use a pattern in either major or minor key.[/quote] It can/does work outside of Rock & Roll. But take on board what Bilbo and Doddy said. Garry

Also back in the days - Demo sessions of possible 'Hit Songs' were very common, Which CK did loads, sometime these sessions were note for note. People in the past laid claim to tracks because of this. I have read at various times, quotes from Musicians who were on the session - and said it was JJ. But who knows....or cares.... it was still a great tune and Bass line. Apart from note choices there is also a difference in sound between the two of them. Mysteries of the Motown days......spooky! Thanks for the chart - although i seem to have about 20 different charts for this toon. Garry

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1088471' date='Jan 13 2011, 07:22 PM']At the risk of sounding petty, aren't they discriminating against the able-bodied?[/quote] And the dope fiends. Garry

Not sure where this one stands. A def leppard tribute Band advertising today.... "Seeking one-armed drummer (no prostetics). Must have pro gear, flame retardent kit and stick. No dope fiends - if your wired your fired!!! So if your ready to get rockin' call us!! Let's pour some sugar on Dallas".... THEIR words not MINE, I might add.

I managed to see one of his shows last year. Its a really good night out - very funny. Garry
