PaulWarning

I've just bought a pair of Audio Technica WS1100is, because I've got big ears with behind the behind the ear hearing aids and they completely cover them, not cheap at £190 but the best bass I've heard from headphones

must admit I've never heard of him being gittish, not saying he isn't, any examples? my partners ex husband used to work at a TV studio and he said the same of Des O'Conner lovely bloke when the cameras were on, and an ar5ehole when they weren't

so what you mean is, you wouldn't miss a single one of his songs, which is fair enough, not sure you're qualified to speak for the whole world

yes it's a long haul, I'm halfway through episode 2, not so good ,they've just reached the cheesy cowboy films ☹️, I've watched the later episodes and some of them are really good

just starting a rerun on PBS America, freeview channel 84, Ken Burn's marathon history of Country Music, I'm not a massive fan of country but I've found it really interesting

on BBC 2 in about an hour a Dave Grohl doc and a Foo Fighters gig

I think most people think their era of music is the best, that is when they were teenagers and in their early 20's, usually, The Beatles are the exception to this rule more than most, but it does point to the general age on this forum that there are so many Beatle threads, and that some seem to think that Drake recorded my boomarang won't come back 🤣

indeed, the sound track from the Backbeat Band, from the film Backbeat is very punk rock

pop music can be good, always has been, trouble is, when you get to a certain age it always sounds like something else you've heard before

I bet he learnt it later, like a lot of things, if you can't see the point of it, it's difficult to stay focused

absolutely, the whole being greater than the sum of the parts

a lot my favourite Beatle songs are written by Lennon, Macca did do some good ones but was responsible for most of the average stuff, by Beatle standards anyway, have to agree with one of @neilp's comments, some of his lyrics were/are drivel, he's a lazy lyricist who tends to writes rubbish just to get a rhyme and too often strays into twee territory

and she plays with a pick 😃

I heard that as well, but I've never seen a photo of him playing a right handed Hofner upside down (the controls on top), is it not more likely that they were one of the few manufacturers that produced an affordable left handed model?

lol, yes, silly me, doesn't help that the drummer was Pete Best 😂

something like that, when Pete Sutcliffe left they needed a bass player and Paul was the one who was least against giving it a go

I seem to remember an interview with Noel where he said, although he admired the Beatles Glam had a lot more of an influence on Oasis

Oasis may have been inspired by the Beatles, amongst others, but their bass lines are nothing to write home about

I think we've had a similar thread before, usually, only bass players listen or understand for the bass line, I don't think he's under appreciated amongst Bass players

don't think that's available any more and it's a guitar pedal I think

Seems to be a Women in Rock night on Sky Arts, Go Go's, Pretenders, Joan Jet and Blondie, not my bag but whatever floats your boat

wish you lot would stop suggesting Distortion pedals I've managed quite well with a Zoom B1on up to now, so which on would give me an early Stranglers sound?

We've found that, bought a PA with compression as an effect and can't use it because it causes feedback

EQ and a bit of Echo or Reverb, with my voice I don't like bottom end, think Jeff Lynne

couple of Irish related documentary's on BBC 4 this Friday, Story of the Boomtown Rats and rock music in Ireland, I've a feeling they've both been on before
