  1. I learned the hard way. Blue
  2. Sounds like it wasn't the right band for you. The drop D stuff should have been discussed prior to the audition. Me, If I don't completely own the audition material, I'll cancel BTW, none of this " heres our set list, pick 4 songs to audition" No way would I comply with that. You pick 4 songs and you find out too late they're songs they no longer play and don't even know anymore. I say, you tell me what songs you want me to audition. Blue
  3. I have always questioned the sound support acts get compared to the sound the actual star/headliner gets. Blue
  4. To be honest ,my thing is cool small bars and clubs I've never felt comfortable on large stages. Blue
  5. I've been lucky to play headliner stages at Summerfest, the world's largest music festival for the past 7 years. Blue
  6. Cool, I've heard about this fest. They get some acts from the States. Blue
  7. I'm still maintain my " you had to be there"position. However, all of the younger guests on the show we're inpressive and well versed. Blue
  8. Most bands never sell 500 units. I'm impressed with all the old bands that had a string of gold and platinum selling hits. Blue
  9. Sure, several of my high school Beatle fanatic friends have told me I should buy it. I accept their recommendation. Blue
  10. Wow, that is a really cool story about George. BTW, I love Abba. They made some historical AM radio driving pop recordings. Blue
  11. I feel the same way about remasters.However I plan on going downtown today and buying the current remastered White Album. Blue
  12. Interesting, to me The Beatles aren't Revolver, Sgt. Pepper or The White Album. They're The Beatles. Blue
  13. I think you can be "into the Beatles" at any age. Blue
  14. I'll bend on 64, even more than that. 65 was used to make the title provocative. Really it's for anyone. However, I am not sure there are many Beatles Fans on BC. The host is really good and Giles Martin's insights are really cool. The guests are pretty good too. Blue
  15. Well, you were 10 years old when they hit big world wide, that's old enough. However, if your not a fan of or have an interest the White Album, I think it would be boring. Blue
  16. Really this is only for old hardcore Beatles Fans, actually for fans of the White Album. I think the content would be boring to anyone not familiar with the material and time period.And it's a very long discussion. For fans I think this British presentation is fantastic, best I've ever seen. Yes, I know it's to sell the new remastered White Album. It's still great stuff. CG85fF-CZBI Blue
  17. I like this band. Blue
  18. A new venue for us, extremely small space to perform, however great looking and sounding room and high end clientle that are into live bands. Place was packed, and the hours were decent, 9:00-12:00. I hope they ask us back, in a dieng vertical we need this type of new business. Blue
  19. 4 songs? We're there other bands that played? Blue
  20. Recreating the past, I like that Dave. I was concerned about our New Year's Eve Show. However, when I saw all those grey haired couples over 60 entering the room, I said " this is going to be cool" and it was. Dave, it's not going to last. We should enjoy every single gig we play from here on out. Blue
  21. We all have our opinions and positions. That's fine. However I'll even advance my position by stating; There aren't even any mechanisms in place today to develop the calber of artists and talent we had in the early 70s. Blue
  22. They really don't. I hope to get a little support or empathy from my fellow seniors here on BC regarding my position. Blue
  23. I can't speak for Dave. However a lot of us old timers are biased. Guys like me, 65 , came into music in the early 70s the most prolific period for rock music in history. Nobody is making music of that caliber anymore. They're just not, sorry. Old Man Blue
  24. At 65, pretty much out of touch. It's nothing I'm proud of. Blue
  25. A couple of riffs, clean, dirty, and bass octave. Check vocal monitor volume that's about it. Blue
