Add in dome overdrive and that's pretty much the standard modern metal bass sound

Well it's mother's day so Danzig is on the gramophone this morning.

I have Schaller strap locks that came with one of my basses. They're alright, do their job OK. I wouldn't actually buy them though

Rear view mirror - Pearl Jam

Cardiac arrest - Madness

Green machine- Kyuss

I don't normally like Periphery but that sounds great. Evil sounding bass

Down in a hole - Alice In Chains

Cemetery sex - Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein

My mate did use that name. Pubs refused to put up their flyers or put their name on the board outside.

Change in the house of flies - Deftones

My daughter was until recently in a band called Herbivores until the vegan singer left and told them they couldn't use the name any more. She threw a bit of a tantrum when they renamed themselves Carnivores. What else could they do?

Skulls Awake We're stoner metal with a bit of punk. They had the name before I joined but it's alright, I think it suits us

Living in a box - Living in a box

Damage case - Motorhead

Eyes of the south - Down

Good Cod - Korn

Last night was Grade 2 at the Louisianna in Bristol. They are an oi punk band from the spiritual home of punk, The Isle Of Wight. Absolutely brilliant show, the whole band are really talented, the bassist in particular was awesome, he had a real Matt Freeman style going on. Support band Rats Nest were really good as well, three young lads with a ton of energy and talent. The louisiana is a great venue. Decent sound,decent beer, nice size room and it seems they have live music every night.

Overkill - Motorhead What a great tune

Time - Pink Floyd

Never ever try to apply logic to metal band names. It's the least logical thing in the world, just ask Party Cannon
