Modular synth stuff. It's never ending... I have a spreadsheet with a want list on it, narrowed down to ones that have different functionality to anything I currently have. There's 13 modules on there totalling around £4200, excluding a case and power... plus I'm currently GASsing for a Gretsch and another Jazzmaster...

Yeah, it's 30-40 years of hard, genuine, use...

I like the look of the Root Beer Sparkle!

Yes

Ooh, this is much nicer! My eyes thank you very much!!

Even by relic standards that's pretty crappy.

But Digbeth is an up and coming area now, surely. All those new bars and culture and the High Street even turns into a race track in the evenings...

I've lost some respect for him since his Daltrey-esque rant about Brexit... Voted leave and moaned about the consequences...

I gave up on Blaze era Maiden after 4 songs... Musically all is fine, then BB pipes up and it all goes down hill.

Woohoo! Still here!

I'm listening to this album for the first time since 1990...

Today I listened to all the albums up to, and including, Somewhere in Time. Tomorrow I'll carry on going. Which means soon I'll be hearing lots of, previously unheard, Maiden tracks. I've had this long standing belief that, for me, only Iron Maiden, Killers and Seventh Son are devoid of filler tracks. The other albums being somewhere between 20 and 40 percent filler. I may have to revise that...

I'm listening to the Radiophonic Workshop's score to this fantastic film:

Clutch's Book of Bad Decisions is the first one that comes to mind.

Wasted Years was released 6 weeks, or so, before my 14th birthday. I agree, it was definitely a big change from Powerslave, and for the reasons you mention.

Some ClockDVA Warning: contains flashing images…

yeah, but it's connected to a rack of CZ series synths. Just imagine the mighty phase distortion synthesis bass you could get! 😁

My first one was an 2nd hand black Aria Pro II Cardinal Series Deluxe. I had it just over a year and then it got part ex'd for my SB Elite I that I still have 30 something years later.

You can own a prototype! https://reverb.com/item/1357779-lita-ford-1992-alvarez-dana-scoop-prototype-0001-guitar

That thumbnail reminds me a lot of one of my photos! This is from their gig in Haarlem in 2017.

Gazelle Twin and NYX - Deep England

I loved how Ministry evolved album by album. Until they got to Filth Pig, then they stalled for the rest of time. As much as I love Land of Rape and Honey, and The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste. I really like their pop stuff!

You can play some nice OM now:

On Tim’s Listening Party last night is was Iron Maiden’s Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. I love this album! I listened and followed along on Twitter last night. And I’m listening to it again. How come I can’t remember what I did last week, but I can remember nearly every word of every song? I haven’t looked at the lyric sheet since 1988!

And only used the first 3 frets
