Meh. There's always going to be a place in my heart for Papa Het (who let's face it is going to end checking out on us in a rehab facility at some point in the next two decades). But I cannot stand anything that comes out of the Danish midgets mouth, especially after he did a no-show at Download 2004 which I am still marginally annoyed about...

That's one more time than I could be bothered to sit through it. I never realised what a whiny voice Kirk Hammett has!

Oh god yes 😂 Demographically (and physically too, I suppose) golf is a more older gents hobby than cycling. So perhaps the ladies on Gransnet meet there to discuss their husbands in much the same manner 🤣

Because cycling is quite a popular hobby at the moment and - from what I can gather from the widows of Mumsnet - takes the male out of the house for very long periods during his downtime from paid employment. Which is not very compatible with the Mumsnet demographic of mothers with young children who require the help of their partner for whatever time he is not out at work. There is commonly a large disparity in how much 'off time' from house/children/family responsibilities the father has in comparison to how much the mother has. Hence all the widows threads ... Phew. I think I managed to answer your question diplomatically ...? 😂

I lurk on Mumsnet everyday. Usually cycling is the forbidden hobby!

Ha! I was just going to post this! (I am not a Bon Jovi fan but it popped up on my FB last week). I spent the latter part of the '80's listening to supreme dictator Axl Rose telling us Bon Jovi were a bunch of faggots etc etc.

I've always said this about Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 as well 👍 HOW can Justice and Puppets be considered over rated in any scenario? Seriously??

Come on!!

Hey thanks, I have just checked it out. The bit about not hurting your back and wrists is probably worth a look .. I like to think I'm immortal but I know I'm not!

I would also recommend Mark at Talking Bass because he doesn't waffle at all and his videos are really useful. He has got alot of stuff on his channel for beginners. I believe I was first enticed by his video explaining how to play like Steve Harris (we can all dream ..) The answer to which is extremely lightly. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDfStxwji-22A_bvY280UIg

I first started with this guy .. the tabs aren't always 100% every single time but you get the jist. Take a look through his playlists for some other Misfits/Danzig stuff and there's quite alot of rock and metal there too. He takes requests as well, and has recently sorted his playlists into hard, medium and easy, and also sorted by tuning (E standard, E flat, D standard etc), so you can select whatever your guitar is tuned to. I quickly ended up getting a second bass, and keeping one tuned to E standard and the other tuned to E flat. If you are super new to bass, have a look at ACDC, alot of their stuff is very easy to learn. Touch Too Much / If You Want Blood / Highway to Hell etc. You can use the playback speed in the YouTube setting to slow down to 0.75 if stuff is a bit fast at first. Then you'll just end up buying Guitar Pro 😉

I try not to learn anything sitting down - for some reason, I find I have to relearn it a little if I then stand up to play it afterwards? Like it doesn't feel/fit the same.

It's a close thing .. 😆

Perfect lowness 👍 Yes! I remember this - even as a kid with zero knowledge, I remember thinking it looked weird!

You look like Colin Edwin from Porcupine Tree with that hat on 👍

In the nicest possible way 😆 Amen.

As low as a low thing on National Low Day!

Way to side step the question, Mr Mambo 2021! But yeah, I agree with the rest. A tenuous 10/10 for you 😉

Maybe you're not doing it right? Did you ever try just chucking it down on the floor right in the middle of a band argument, just to see what happens?

Hmmmmm. Without Slash, there would be no Guns n Roses? Explain your answer clearly. Justify concisely. Show your working out.

At the risk of sounding young and switched on, I do believe this is where the proverbial mike-drop occurs... (a term obviously phrased by someone who has never had the eye-watering experience of having to pay for one themselves)

Malmsteen. But also this:

Not speaking for anyone other than myself, I'd say you have hit the nail on the head - in Japan it surely must be a cultural/respect thing. I've seen some really shocking comments when videos of female players are put up on YT. Just because they are female, what's that about? The irony is that, in real life, I have always found the metal scene to be THE most respectful of them all. Go figure .. Had to laugh the other day when I was watching an Iron Maidens 'Number of the Beast' video on YT. The top comment was "I bet none of us thought we'd be listening to this track thirty years later with our pants round our ankles" 😂

God Save the Queen

Alroight, bab?
