  1. One of my brothers was Angus in a band that had the iterations TNT and High Voltage (originality of names is not a strong suite for AC/DC tributes...) Sadly I don't have a pic of him in uniform.
  2. Didn't you just love it when R1 DJ's had to introduce music they hated 🙂
  3. UFO are everything Def Leppard should have been.
  4. When I saw the Bootleg Beatles it was far nearer to the Beatles than now is to the Bootleg Beatles...
  5. No! NO! Not the Comfy Chair!
  6. Interesting comments folks 🙂
  7. A lot of carefully argued points of view. But the UK has Hawkwind. 😎
  8. Froma distant shot I think it was Steve Morse - right build, hair, blue strat...
  9. There's a useful and level headed history of how the use of the slang term has evolved on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_(slang) Clearly different people use it in different ways. It's a young term and it its meaning is not stable.
  10. Despite being a veggie, I salvaged some big sheets of leather of about that colour from a pair of sofas. I've just realised I can use them to make broad under-straps. Adding one to my genuine Ace peace and dove strap will give me the authentic Neil Young effect (just add a Gold Top LP and paint black...)
  11. My brother might say so... he's a big fan of symphonic-thrash-death-scandi-folk-metal.
  12. The Transisters? I'll get my coat...
  13. I suspect most of us have a cort-made bass or three, perhaps even without realising it. The serial number on the pickup in my Squier Jag comes up as being Cort, and I understand both my Hohners were made by them, and possibly my Ibanez '335' as well!
  14. Well I disagree, but i'm happy for others to make up their own minds 🙂
  15. I've been thinking of asking a very similar question. My plan is: TU3 --> Compressor --> BEQ7 --> HM2 --> Chorus I suspect the EQ should go after the distortion, although I probably wouldn't use them at the same time. I'm waiting on a ten-stage daisy chain cable so things could get more complex!
  16. <DUCKS> Actually the reality is closer to this:
  17. What incredibly, utterly incompetent editing and camera work! "Whatever you do, don't show the faces of anyone other than Gillan and Paice - and make the 'crowd' of 30 punters look like LIve Aid!"
  18. I can certainly achieve that part...
  19. The exact opposite of someone who says "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" .
  20. Isn't there a law about playing before lunch?
  21. A question for you 'tribute' folks. I know many bands don't play live as faithfully to the recordings as some tributes do. So how do you approach this, do you aim to copy the records or the/a live performance or just capture the 'essence' of the band (if you know what I mean?)
  22. The video appears to be pretty accurate and tab on UG appears to loosely agree but some missing notes, awkward fingerings and a few bad notes. I think I can sort it, at least near enough to appear convincing, but if anyone does have a link to more accurate version it will be a help.
