  1. Have a listen to Motorhead and Dinosaur Jr. Both Lemmy and Lou Barlow were effectively playing rhythm on bass guitars. Maybe it's also worth considering which songs work best for your band and maybe dropping some which don't work.
  2. Voodoo Child - Hendrix It's a stinky poo business son.
  3. I think they're the only band whose best album is their greatest hits (except maybe Queen). None of their albums sounds like one piece of work. None of them have a specific sound. If I hear a QOTSA, Tool, Mastadon or Raconteurs song I can instantly tell which album it's from by the overall sound but Foo Fighters albums have no theme or specific sound. They are a great rock band and I have a lot of respect for him.
  4. Jack Black is in that film so I couldn't watch it. I can't stand Jack Black
  5. They have some great tunes but they've never made a great album, they're all at least half filler. I've seen them live a few times and they've got an excellent hour and a half set but unfortunately they drag it out for another hour on top of that. I'm a big fan of everything Dave Grohl has done away from the Foos. Nirvana, QOTSA, Killing Joke, Probot and Them Crooked Vultures were all brilliant.
  6. I was watching Rage Against The Machine at Reading surrounded by a bunch of teenagers who wouldn't shut up and wouldn't give me the space to move and get away from them. In the end I decided if they wouldn't move, I'd just go through them which upset them quite a lot.
  7. Christmas you say? That'll involve at least a mention of snow and ice. That'll be a job for the crampons
  8. I'm learning Brushed by Quicksand. Nearly there but there's a couple bits I can't quite work out. I'll get there. I think next I'm going dark with some Chelsea Wolfe, possibly Lord of Liars
  9. Dirty - Christina Aguilera Another one I'm embarrassed to know.
  10. Nah, aft and stern is the E and G strings obviously
  11. I've always referred to them as the port and starboard pickups. Isn't that the standard? Maybe upstream and downstream would clear up any confusion.
  12. I'm using D Addario nickles on my 5 string. They sound really bright and really good for about two weeks and then very rapidly lost their brightness. Maybe I got a bad set but that's my experience
  13. Everyone knows real tone comes from the balls. I don't know where ladies get their tone from.
