  1. Looks a bit like the D Bird head; or is that the other way up? Nice either way!
  2. Dream Theater's Once in a Livetime was mostly recorded in Paris, but I was at the Camden gig shortly before/after, and I am fairly sure the inside pic of the band and first few rows of fans was from the gig I went to - because I am fairly certain it's my balding head and glasses in the 3rd row. Awesome gig.
  3. Decent mattress - £400 of memory foam loveliness. My back is very grateful.
  4. Yeah, i like the technicality of it, but the mysticism is just fluff to me. they are the George RR Martin of prog metal: albums of real quality but almost not worth waiting for!
  5. Great album; barking mad self-indulgent progginess at its finest.

    Wow, clever bit of kit
  7. I have 3 sprogs and never get the time to play, I don't even have space. the instruments are crammed into the space next to my books in my bedroom (the ones not in the loft or garage), and there are always chores or DIY tasks to do!
  8. They're untidy - why are they not all perfectly lined up by number of strings, make, colour and size? *twitch*
  9. Yeah - I live in Halifax and do venture up that way: usually via the road up from Todmorden to Burnley, or via Wycoller. Clitheroe and surrounds broadly nice, most of the Blackburn-Oswaldtwistle-Accrington-Burnley-Nelson-Colne megaplex is pretty dire (nice Waitrose on the way north excepted)
  10. Pendle, where the inter-town bus route refers to Witches!
  11. Fairly sure i’ve not even played 43 basses, let alone owned (4 at separate times)
  12. Total privilege right there. You are part of the problem.
  13. *smelly cat, smelly cat* (howl, wail, random chord names)
  14. Yes - I remembered the Fission too, but a) expensive and b) you don't see them around much second hand (cue 5 smartypants linking ebay auctions.)
  15. I can mostly play a few dozen Rush tunes on bass, but i can’t sing for toffee, play keys or anything else while playing bass. That’s some top playing.
  16. There are some contemporary prog examples of multiple time signatures in a song; listening to the feel really helps, e.g. 6 o’clock by Dream Theater where the drums change time but the guitars don’t, or Carve Away The Stone by Rush which has 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7/4 in. or 80s era King Crimson: especially the Discipline album.
  17. It's probably cheaper to buy one out there and then donate it to the school for future use!! Less stressful too.
  18. OOh TRB in action. What sort of Jazz is it? *wonders if they're on Spotify*
  19. Ouch indeed. Get well soon. *waits impatiently for healing*
  20. Oh yes, and the rather lovely MB Combo. Welcome!
