I don't know why but I always thought I didn't like The Cure. Turns out I was wrong so this afternoon I listened to their performance at Glastonbury. I was at the festival but I have no idea where I was during this performance.

South of heaven - Slayer

Eyes of the South - Down

Kill the rich - Anti Flag

I get that but going as far as copying knob layout, pickguard shape, pickup type and position and even headstock shape is not necessary. Some manufacturers (Ibanez for example) seem to manage to make something different that works.

I find it a bit of an odd thing that guitar manufacturers make clones of each others products rather than developing their own styling and tone. It wouldn't be accepted if Kia were to make a clone of the Ford Mustang so why does it happen with instruments?

Sweet young thing ain't sweet no more - Mudhoney

That is excellent. Unfortunately, the Mark E Smith I saw live was a completely different person. This is really very good.

I thought the government said their trade deal means no import taxes between UK and EU?

Easy Skanking - Bob Marley and the Wailers

You can see why Rickenbacker are so protective, Fender struggle to sell anything with all those P and J bass clones everyone and their mum is selling. Who would spend a grand on a genuine P bass when you can get a clone on Amazon for £60?

Be quiet and drive - Deftones

I think it must have only been a year or two before he died, their last performance at Glastonbury. He'd definitely had a LOT of alcohol, he clearly had a major problem.

Mark E Smith is easily by far the worst singer I've seen live. He was a mess, whizzed himself during the first song, just mumbled a few times, couldnt really describe it as singing. Wandered off stage occasionally, messed around with the bands instruments as they played. The guitarist looked like he wanted to punch him

I've always liked the Smiths music but always really disliked Morrissey's vocals. I also thought the same about The Fall and Mark E Smiths vocals and the Sex Pistols and Jonny Rottens vocals (pre Sid obviously). I find that the worse a vocalist is, the more people go on about them being a lyrical genius (Pete Doherty for example)

I have looked at local jam sessions. There's two, one jazz and one blues. I don't know anything about either genre. I've also only ever bothered learning natural and pentatonic minor scales because that was all I needed for metal. I'm fairly sureI wouldn't do well in either of those jam sessions

Shooting star - Gojira Looks like I missed several posts. Ignore this one

Andromeda - Mastadon

Planet Caravan - Pantera

Iron Man - Black Sabbath

I've also fitted a new pick guard. The old black one was past its best so I bought a nice white pearl three ply. I think it's an improvement.

Pet Cemetery by Ramones Watch the corners by Dinosaur Jr Going Underground by The Jam Sound of the suburbs - The Members Heroes by Bowie (Motorhead version might work better)

Thanks and I'll be sure to send you back stage passes for our Glastonbury headline show.
