E - Just play the bugger and don't worry.

This; I found that I needed to have fun to learn, and playing songs I like and the feeling that engendered in me made practising harder songs easier - knowing that I could meant that I did.

Spotify has just segued from Bullet With Butterfly Wings to Rock Superstar for me. Very happy with that.

Get in! I've never been reviewed, other than in a "Can you pick out the bass player wot did it, Sir?" kind of way.

The might get the fancy cases but do they get the adoration?

I think that the three knobs approach looks organic; it would be my choice if that were my bass, I think.

That was the London Guitar Show, held at Wembley. I went to the first few, which were really good.

That looks as cool as a very cool thing indeed. Just the ticket for putting the black dog in his place.

Well, I'd better follow this.

Thanks chaps, much appreciated. It's very nice indeed to be part of such a friendly and supportive community.

Had a great one on Tuesday night; my stepfather has been seriously ill in hospital (at one point we were told he was very likely to die on the operating table but being a contrary old sod he's pulled through nicely, just to annoy the medics) and that's been a hard ride. There have also been some unusual band politics via the band's WhatsApp group which had proved to be uncomfortable in the week between rehearsals. It was great, therefore, to arrive, set up, play a couple of old favourites and then work on three new songs (No-one Knows, Rebel Yell and For Whom The Bell Tolls) which went very well, followed by a chat and a brew with my bandmates before heading back in and playing various songs from the set. Just what I needed.

Oh, now you're talking.... Kyuss with Cliff would have been amazing.

You know you're in trouble when Dave Mustaine is the most reasonable guy in the room.

I don't know what any of this means, but if you can make some decent pickups I'll give you a shout for future projects!

I'd love to have the time to practise six hours per day, but if I had that time available I wouldn't practise for six hours per day. Sorry to bring the party down, but what scares me at night is the futility of existence.

That's a real shame, Steve.

Christ, if you fell in a cesspit you'd come out clutching a Klon Centaur!

Neck? Aye, that seller's got some neck alright.

There are many, but tonight's is: Dominion / Mother Russia Flood 1 Luctretia, My Direction. An honourable mention for Knives Screamager Hellbelly.

Maybe he did - we wouldn't have been able to hear him.

Less fizz, more ooomph?

As in "You ain't bringing that in here, sweetheart!"?

I use a baritone Tele for just that job and it sounds fantastic. Glad to hear that it was a productive session.

There are some great tracks on that list. I'd come and see you play a set like that!
