Straight to the legendary quotes thread!

I've been jamming with the guitar player from our last band and we're getting to the point where just guitar and bass with some not-very-good vocals just won't cut it any more. I wish we could find a drummer because we're having lots of fun and playing some good songs.

I remembered a band who I loved as a young adult and had almost forgotten about, so I'm currently listening to the last album of theirs that I bought. I was a big fan of their earlier, more doom-laden stuff, and I struggled to enjoy this album as much as their earlier records, but listening to it again as a "grown up" I have to say this is superb.

Not just a great bass player but a cracking songwriter, too.

Tell me, is this tactic still known as "the arse grabber"?

Gather here, ye converted, and weep! Even though we've never met I kind of assumed that you might enjoy a little oikishness, so yes, of course. It's an inevitability. It's obviously not 'ard enough.

I've made a career from it.

Playing a B string may give you the same notes as down-tuning, granted, but in no way whatsoever does it give you the groove, swagger or oikish malevolence that down-tuning until your strings rattle does; you're right, they just don't get it at all.

I have to say that I delight in not understanding when I get spoken to like that. A sort of mulish, wilful ignorance, if you will.

Today it is "Unf*ck The World", by Prophets of Rage.

How about Inglorious Times, or (In)Glorious Times? without getting too political it's widely acknowledged that we're at tipping points of many descriptions, and most of them are the result of inequality and division.

Remembering it's the hardest bit - and lugging around a bass tuned ridiculously low in order to play it!

Your tone can't be as bad as his spelling, use of punctuation or poor syntax. Glass houses etc....

That's outrageously cool.

You rang, sir?
