  1. I saw a pic the other day (might have been on BC?) of a Queen tribute. Freddie, Brian and Roger all were dressed/wigged up. John was just wearing what he wore all day. I think that may underline your point!
  2. This looks like a rehearsal for a full concert I saw on YouTube a year or two ago. It was to recreate the Shaggs music with the original singer plus some new musicians. There was also an interview with the band leader / musical director. The BL said that she got together a bunch of proper musicians and they leaned all the songs as they were played... out of time, out of tune, mistakes, the lot. Must have been a lot harder than playing a 'corrected' version of the music. The BL was asked about singer-Shagg's musicality.... "I don't think she hears rhythm" was the succinct response!
  3. I knew eventually someone would bring Hitler into it. Now you have lost the argument .
  4. I liked that at the time... still sounds OK . The female member is called Manda Rin...… just in case anyone needs another reason to dislike
  5. That fits more with what he said/played, but he flashed up 11/2 before he said it (7mins 20secs). I think he got 11/2 by counting half notes (at least that what he says).
  6. Seems like the kind of thing that gets ironically entered into the Eurovision Song Contest these days. Might need a rework on the lyrics🙁.
  7. Thanks…. Never knew “Hey Yah” was in 11/2.
  8. Same for me a couple of years ago… I walked out after half a song
  9. For practical purpose: too subtle For aesthetic purpose: not subtle enough
  10. OK, last one (for today anyway 😀)
  11. Agree, and for me the same goes for Hipgnosis.
  12. Mrs Soup is somewhere between tolerant and supportive. On the upside she is OK with time spent on band rehearsals, occasional gigs, learning songs, home recordings and visits to play at open mics or folk circles. On the downside she will never (like NEVER) see me play live or listen to any recorded material ☹️. And she doesn't understand the cost of gear etc.... thinks £100 is a lot to spend on a guitar and so on ☹️☹️. She doesn't have any hobbies which are non-domestic.... which means we have a beautifully kept garden (I mow the lawn and that's about it) for example... but nothing just for her.
  13. Here's one where I like the cover, but not on a favourite album (I think the Doors are OK, for the record)
  14. Some nice dots for me…. Don’t need anything fancy. Each to their own, but if you are making an instructional video on YouTube DO NOT use a plain neck for Chrissakes!!! 😡
  15. Here goes........ Some blurb for the voting page: The picture bought to mind the decayed industry we see around us, a thriving workplace has become a void. I called the song "Into The Void" and that in turn led to a downbeat, goth-y feel. end of blurb. Recorded with Studio One. First time out for my upgrade to Studio one Five, with some new (virtual) amps/pedals. First time out for a new set of drum sounds too. Daw = Studio One (five). Mic = Sure SM58, Guitar = Squier telecaster, Bass = Vantage, Drums = Studio one piano roll with Red Zep sounds.
  16. I remember "English Disease" and "Hank Turns Blue". Hank is the noisier, so I'll have a go at that
  17. Icelandic contemporaries of KUKL - PURRKUR PILLNIKK - 'googooplex'
  18. Woah! Never mind the bass mix. What happens when you send your food back to the kitchen?
  19. In my experience it’s balancing two six strings that Is difficult. The bass has a bit more tolerance….. a bit too loud and it doesn’t tread on anything else and sounds ok…. a bit too quiet and it still fills the bottom end even if you cant hear the note choice. But all in all I like to clearly hear the bass👍
  20. I get your preference to focus on home recording. However, I would always want to be ‘gig ready’ and at least have a small combo tucked away somewhere. It sounds like you don’t have a massive surplus anyway, so just sell what you don’t need for home recording plus one small rig.
