  1. The current 1200 seems pretty reasonable really. They're around 120 hp I think which isn't bad for a cruiser.
  2. Harley Davidson used to make a model called the Sportster Sport which is the only production motorcycle ever to have sport in its name twice. Its also one of the least sporty motorcycles ever made. Its 1200cc motor made less power than my 10 year old little 250cc Suzuki I owned at the time of its launch and the Harley was nearly 50% heavier.
  3. Harley have actually been modernising in recent years with such futuristic tech as water cooling and fuel injection and even electric bikes. I still wouldn't want one though. I did see a Harley bagger with the typical leather and denim wearing rider with Adele playing from the built-in cd player. I've never heard anyone play Adele on a Rickenbacker.
  4. Monty Python. The constitutional peasants. Now where is my speed boat prize?
  5. Last band I was in was an authoritan dictatorship and he ruled with an iron fist. It sucked so I quit then the drummer quit then they gave up. Current band is more like a hippy commune. It's friendly and relaxed. It is all for fun though, none of us expect to make money.
  6. I've got two Mexican standard P basses. The one in standard tuning I'm absolutely satisfied with, can't fault it at all. The one in drop A# may get replaced but I can't decide what with.
  7. Their worst was really bad though. I see Metallica as being a lot like Foo Fighters in that they have some really brilliant songs but there's so much filler in between the killer tracks. It feels like they never abandon an idea, everything gets recorded.
  8. It's not their best work is it? Big budget recording of a very average song.
  9. I did look for the newspaper article about the incident but it predates common Internet use plus searching the words Bath and bomb just brings up all sort of crap to put in your tub.
  10. An acquaintance of mine once had his bagpipes blown up by the bomb squad in Bath. On his way home from a night out whilst rather drunk he put them down while he watered the bushes in Queens Square and then forgot to pick them up before staggering home. The next morning in his rush to leave for a climbing trip he forgot all about them but saw the bomb squad had closed the square. When he got home and remembered them he went to the police station to see if they had been handed in as lost property. There was good news and bad. They had them but they were a bit blown up.
  11. I thought Focus had just over done it with the mind altering substances when they wrote that.
  12. Now you're just quoting Manic Street Preachers lyrics
  13. I take your point but AC/DC are an exceptional case. There are other rock and metal bands who have used bagpipes in an unacceptable manner, Korn for example.
  14. I can't stand a lot of the earlier prog, it seemed like it was complicated for the sake of being complicated and then there's Hocus Pocus by Focus which had yodelling which is unacceptable. I do like a lot of modern progressive metal though, bands like Intronaut, Tool and Meshuggah who make complicated music which has cool bits and sounds interesting
  15. Punch in the face - Ministry A lovely ballad
