  1. I was 16, so probably listening to Iron Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Morbid Angel... He following year Smells Like Teen Spirit came out and things changed a lot.
  2. I think I need a better pair of headphones. I have a pair of Sony, but tonight I plugged them into my amp (Fender Rumble 25) for the first time and the sound was awful. It sounded badly overdriven, even though the volume was low.
  3. Radiohead's Pablo Honey was a good album, but a bit ordinary compared with what came after.
  4. I saw Sisters of Mercy live a couple of years ago. They were about halfway through one particular song before I realised what it was.
  5. My 11 year old daughter has been listening to some 80's stuff and quite likes Blondie, after Miley Cyrus covered one of their songs. I think it's don to Spotify.
  6. Whilst not strictly punk, they do tend to get lumped into the genre, so, anything by Ian Dury and the Blockheads, especially Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick.
  7. No mention of Robert Bean from Black Rebel motorcycle Club yet? or Nicky Wire on the odd track for the Manics.
  8. I've got a Crème Brulee t-shirt from the "Voodoo Lady" tour. Heady days indeed.
  9. "Hello Cleveland! We are Swimming Through Mud!" Any glam covers band looking a name, you can have that one on me (us)
  10. Stiff Little Fingers and Iron Maiden often wear their own shirts.
  11. Leg? Doesn't everyone play with the bass behind their head, resting on the shoulders?
  12. Thank goodness for that. I don't really read music and only know about the Circle of Fifths in theory, so when I looked at the music I decided to try and work out the key, not noticing that you had given the (incorrect) key in the title. Then I got really confused.
  13. I always loved this sketch. "Sorry wrong page"
  14. Wasn't there a bit of a stink kicked up recently about Burberry or some other fashion house doing this?
  15. They couldn't have salvaged anything? Necks? Bridges? Tuners? Knobs? Nothing?
  16. I remember Bassist magazine did a transcription many moons ago. I nearly tied my fingers in knots trying to play it.
  17. I suppose this is the point where someone points out that the person in the photo is either someone famous, or is an esteemed member of the forum, thus making me look like a right tube.
  18. I'm not especially judgmental, but I hate him just from looking at that photograph.
  19. I don't think it fits the criteria as I would fall asleep during it, thus brining the song to a halt, rather than driving it along.
  20. no no no no not Zombie. When I started playing bass, many moons ago, we covered zombie and I hated playing it.
