as a resident of Nottingham I feel duty bound to say that Robin Hood is more likely to be true than Nessie, or blowing speakers by turning an amp up to distortion levels by the 'sounds' of it.
But hiding in the Major Oak or robbing from the rich to give to the poor probably as big a myth as the other two
they'll be more knowledgeable people than me along soon, but wattage is not a good way to know how loud something will go, I did used a Trace Elf 1 x 8 combo once, and that wasn't loud enough, but others have said the Elf's are with the right cab
we did a gig last night and during the Kids Are Alright our singer came in too early at one point, our drummer was not amused when I told he was sacked 🤣
I also remember him saying it was nice to play with a 'normal' drummer when Moon had died, most band members think they'd sound better if some things were changed, till they are 😄
There does seem to be more to it than his drumming, just wonder why they didn't use "the musical differences", or "Zak's moving on to other projects" excuse, of course back in the day a young Roger Daltrey would have just thumped him

according to this story Roger Daltry instigated it because all he could hear was boob boom boom, seeing as they use in ears surely it's the sound man they should be getting rid of
must have been faulty or a really inefficient cab, I got a 150 watt GP12 loads of volume and we've got a really really loud drummer
edit, my Trace lost all it's volume, needed new output transistors
that is about what I've got my B1on set at which I don't think is a million miles away, most people do add too much treble when trying to get his sound
not good news for the BBC at all, bit of a contradiction, TV audience falling but commercial radio rising, I'd have thought Gen Z would be using Spotify etc, but then, what do I know?
never happy when I see an artist using backing tracks, I just think why stop at drums/keyboards/bass or whatever, why not have the whole thing as a backing track? but hey, that's just me ymmv
I never realised there was no bass on WITJ, foundthis clip where Phil is playing rhythm, presumably they only had on guitarist at the time
also found this which is one of those vids where you think "Wish I'd been there"
