Its all good there. I'm actually looking at buying a third one, a Honda CRF250L or for green lane riding

I'm a metal player and jam sessions local to me seem to be jazz or folk so I just don't understand the music at all. I've tried jamming along to songs, I usually get the chord pattern quickly enough but soon get bored. What I loved was playing filthy riffs at ridiculous volume with mates and coming up with cool stuff together. Unfortunately, that's gone now and not going to happen again.

Last January I sold my gear and gave up. This Christmas I bought myself a new bass and tried getting back in to it but just not enjoying playing along to songs, no good at solo noodling and can't find other people to play with. I'm not happy with how I play. I think I've reached the end. Bummer

Flying Whales - Gojira That's really pushing it a bit!

Slug - Snail Mail Double points. Who's keeping score here?

Gold Lion - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I'm enjoying a bit of Bossk. British Post metal band. This track in particular has just blown my mind. It goes so many places from a solo trumpet to huge wall of guitar noise and everything in between.

What zit? - The Game

Snot unusual - Tom Jones

There's a few Lemmy statues already. There's one in LA and one at the Hellfest site in Clisson, France. There can't be many musicians with multiple statues. I think Freddie Mercury has a few.

Well deserved. I can't think of a more iconic and influential rock star than Lemmy. He'll really brighten up that Metropolis

Slip - Quicksand A nice bit of post hardcore

Arise - Sepultura

46 and 2 - Tool

I've been looking at Spector Dimension 5 basses and used ones are barely any cheaper than new. I'm starting to think I may as well buy new

Digging The Grave - Faith No More

Rotting in vain - Korn

Roots Bloody Roots - Sepultura

When I was in a band, we were the only sludge metal band in our area and our lyrics were weirder than anyone else's.

Naked in the rain - Red Hot Chilli Peppers (when they were good)

I've found that darkglass pedals work perfectly well with active basses (they have to, active is really common in metal) but my main source of distortion now is a Two Notes Revolt valve preamp pedal. I usually run it in to my amp but it sounds just as good as a DI

Zombie Eaters - Faith No More

Death in April - Made out of Babies If you like creative, heavy rock music, check out this band and Julie Christmas with her solo band. It's all really good
