  1. Bloody hell , are you stalking me
  2. Not necessarily , it might initiate an ‘it’s me or him’ debate without the confrontation , clear the air , and solve the issue one way or the other. decisions need to be made to get a result out of the situation or festering will be the outcome , and that isn’t healthy
  3. The trouble is that it can get very political and messy, and it can drag on for ages with beaching and rumblings that can suck the life out of everything you are trying to do. If you are not the type to to want to go through this, then then leaving is a good option , if you are the type to mainly go with the flow then, fitting in with a new crew should work out ok . sometimes a resignation can actually be a catalyst for change, as it makes the situation blindingly obvious and shows a seriousness of intention that can’t be ignored
  4. Have you checked out my soundcloud account ? I think you’ll find that I will offer some decent competition , though I started a bit later than Cliff
  5. It sounds like he is a control freak , if the band is a multiple album selling outfit earning you a great living, then he is also a great guy to play with , if you are pub covers band, he is a knob
  6. Last night was my last gig with the Razors ...and it was awesome ! Collectively, we played the 2 sets the best we ever have , the sound seemed the best it ever was , and we got a really good turnout . I got a good send off from the lads, who insist that I am only on a sabbatical! onwards and upwards , let’s see what next year brings, never say never as the warbler keeps telling me 😂
  7. I have pro 17’s and if I’m honest if 10’s were a flat response I’d prefer them . I do feel a touch disconnected when at gigs though when I’m playing they are fine. its a bit odd feeling the thump from the bass drum at a show yet without the corresponding thud 🤔 with the bass, if I am standing in top of the cab it can sound a bit quiet.
  8. I’ve been there , twice, while they ended up fun gigs , it does leave a bit of a sour taste ☹️
  9. Ah , but which end did you start at
  10. Dan reed network last night , excellent show from a very talented bunch, support from Hollowstar and Mason Hill. the sound was half decent, it’s the first I have attended using ACS ear plugs and I think I may have to have a different filter in them , while the clarity of the sound was fine , it just seemed a bit quiet it was an odd sensation, feeling the bass drum kick me in the guts yet hearing the volume at 3 when it should have been 11
  11. Coincidentally , I nearly engineered that very same scenario last night , there was a pool table behind him and he suggested putting his amp on it , only in jest , but I pushed him to do it , but he declined , still, I wasn’t going to make an issue of it as my input , my PA and my lights will soon be otherwise engaged. oddly the landlord wanted to rebook but heard that we were disbanding , I immediately retorted that it was not the case and that they would get a new bass player , the lads looked surprised at that , but they have had 6 weeks to get on with it !
  12. Lovely little gig in a tiny little pub , not much crowd but very appreciative and enthusiastic . sound check was great , about 20 mins in my brother indicates to lift the vocal a touch , done start of the second set my brother indicates to lift the vocal a bit , done. strangely , everyone who was standing in front of the band at the start is now about 5mtrs further back 🤔 The guitarist incrementally turns himself up all the time and the vocal gets drowned , so everything ends up louder than everything else. I only have to play 2 more gigs with this bellend of a six stringer
  13. I'm in then , its a quick one this time as I have loads to do this month Its going off in my bed Its going off in my bed And I just love it I just cant stop it Yeah I just love it Do it again Do it again Cos its all going off in my bed Fireworks forever she cried She lit the fuse when I was still inside Then She looked at me with a vengeance when she said Im gonna set it off in your head Now its going off in my head its going off in my head And I don’t want it I just cant stop it no I don’t want it take it away take it away cos its all going off in my head
  14. Sold a Scarlett 2i2 to Pawel , instant money transfer , great comms , lovely fella, trade with confidence with this gent 👍
  15. No way 😂 surely you must have some emergency pies to get stuck into 😄
  16. Yep , that’s an entry now , welcome back in 👍
  17. The wanted forum is slightly different, in that the bumping and reply permissions are not enabled.
  18. As an aside , the lad does a fair bit of editing work , and has had a share of editing private individuals home porn films. It’s work when the bills need paying !
  19. I think most DAWS can speed up and slow down the audio to grasp the authentic VHS vibe
  20. I play it with a pick as it offers the opportunity of some quick muting , I generally play with a pick anyway 👍
  21. Played the Plough in St Asaph last night . It was a great gig , not a massive crowd but it's a big place and the landlord was very happy with the turnout , we had dancers for every song and considering we start with beds are burning , that doesn't normally get the dance floor started ! Three more gigs before I leave them to it ,
  22. In that case , you can see in the scene that there are boats in the harbour , it could almost be a reconstruction of the Elizabethan ship battles with Drake fighting off the Armada , the photo was taken in Plymouth after all, and if you can overlook the fact that Drake was considered to have been a part of the first slave trades, its all good Ed to add thinking about it , there are probably as many tunes written about things that people don't like as there are about things that people do !
  23. Be brave , anarchy is your friend ......but make sure they are very low in the mix, that is, very very low , a bit like homeopathic panpipes and bagpipes 😉
