I know how to die - Motorhead

I went to see The Skints a month or two ago expecting the venue to be near full but it was half empty. Last week I missed a Pigs x7 gig because I completely forgot about the tickets I bought nearly two years ago. I heard it get a mention on the radio a couple days later which reminded me.

Another vote for this one.

True dat

Don't apologise, its bloody confusing. Brexit was all about removing red tape and making things simple you know. I've been charged import duty on used goods bought from Italy and not on something from France. I think it all depends on luck.

They should do. Bono deserves it

Cannonball - The Breeders

Black Sabbath could become the richest people in the world if they sued everyone who ripped off their music. It would be every doom metal band that's ever existed plus quite a few others.

Introduce yourself - Faith No More

It was a very popular song. It could easily be 3 or 4 pence

House of 1000 corpses - Rob Zombie

War Pigs - Black Sabbath

I don't think there's much gear on the market that won't sound good with a bit of set up and some decent playing.

Toxic Garbage Island - The mighty Gojira

If someone could sue people for management cow poop phrases as well that would be awesome. Just thought I'd run that idea up the flag pole and see who salutes it. Just some blue sky thinking but we need to action these solutions to provide the deliverables to all steakholders.

Are they going to sue everyone else who has used that phrase in a song, in print, on TV or in film?

It depends on the sound you're going for. If you want to sound like Tim Commerford of Rage Against The Machine then you'll struggle to get close unless you've got a Stingray and an Ampeg SVT. Some amp and bass combinations are quite distinctive and difficult to copy with different gear. If you're not going for a specific sound, you can sound good with fairly basic gear and good technique.

My friend in misery - Metallica

I trust Booze And Glory. A great live band and I should imagine they're tough on gear

Sounds good. Does it take up much space on the pedal board?

Superb song and really not difficult but I think quite rewarding to get the timing really tight.

I'm thinking about replacing my leads with a remote setup so I don't trip over leads cos I'm a clumsy bugger. Do remote systems have any effect on sound compared to a decent 6 metre lead? Is there a system which is recommended?

I'm surprised no one (including me) has mentioned The Cure. Superb bass lines, fantastic songs and Simon Gallup always uses a pick. A Forest and Burn are a great place to start. I can't pick up my Thunderbird and not play A Forest

Once you've done that, try it with only slaps and pops.

Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson
