I'll put a fiver on it not being Axl Rose. Elton is a bit of a fan of noisier rock music though. I'll guess Dave Grohl will be one of Eltons guests.

How do we get ourselves and our rigs to rehearsals or gigs?
SteveXFR replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
Driving myself is the only option. There is no public transport. Both band mates live in the opposite direction. Can't carry a 4x10 cab and two basses on my motorbike. I've got a bit of a scruffy old Skoda Roomster which is the perfect car for the job. Small, cheap and I can get an enormous amount of gear in it. It's do ugly and uncool I can park it anywhere and it won't get stolen -
I just realised Elton is at Glastonbury and Dave Grohl is there as well. Both of them have played on Queens Of The Stone Age records so I wonder whether either will join QOTSA on stage on Sunday evening.

Rancid at OVO Wembly Tonight (20/06/2023)
SteveXFR replied to binky_bass's topic in General Discussion
I wish I could have gone, I love a bit of Rancid. It was The Skints and Grade 2 supporting as well wasn't it? Both great bands -
My old neighbour learned to play the didgeridoo at Glastonbury. Maybe it was the same person who taught him. We enjoyed him practicing in his garden in the evening for a while but after three weeks of two hours every evening it lost its appeal

I remember an article in the Daily Sport (a fine publication) which said that a tower block in Swindon had the highest rate on inbreeding in the country. Anyway, back on topic. The helicopters have started going back and forth to the festival. About one every half hour today. By Friday it'll be three or four times that many at least. Very environmentally friendly.

I saw Slash's band there several years ago and was really disappointed. They played far too many GNR songs and it was just like seeing a covers band play the pyramid stage. If I was there this year I'd be seeing Skindred, The Damned, Viagra Boys and QOTSA and just spend the rest of the weekend wandering around just watching random stuff, drinking poor quality, warm beer, sampling different food and confusing people who have had too many psychedelic drugs.

Speakers have far more effect on tone than amps

It may effect the point at which the valves start to overdrive very marginally but as has been shown in many experiments, valves don't effect tone. Could be the air density in the room.

Draconian Times by Paradise Lost I hadn't listened to this for years. Great bit of 90's goth metal with some great bass and killer drum grooves in places. Highly recommended. As I write this the record has just finished and Tidal has gone on to Type O Negative's Bloody Kisses album so it's it's a good morning.

For bass players - who preffer to sing back vocals ?
SteveXFR replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
I do some backing shouting. With our particular style of punk / metal crossover I don't need to be able to hold perfect pitch or make the lyrics understandable. I just have to get the timing and general attitude right.
