A load of bollocks. Turned it off after a couple of mins. I started watching it as there had been some great programmes about rock n roll on bbc4 last couple of weeks. This wasn't. I'll tell you what happened to rock n roll. It lost the roll!

I was bought up on a council estate oop north! Not every musician is middle class. These 'dives' to me are normal pubs. Filled with bloody poor people! Oh the indignity. Just because these pubs are shitholes doesn't mean everyone wants to kick your head in. I've played venues from 'dives' to venues the that hold a few thousand. I've found 'dives' to be some of the best gigs in terms of people enjoying themselves.

I've just been given an absolute f***load of 45's vinyl from early sixties to eighties. So I'm listening through all that. So far it's been Elton john Loads of tamla Motown songs I've never heard of Beatles Bros Cliff

NME which stands for Smash Hits for w***ers. I grew up in the 90's so have no idea of its 70's, 80's heyday.

Struggles!........pah! Some musicians really struggle. They regularly have to play sex on fire or moondance. Tell him to come back when he's done that!

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1436209890' post='2816055'] I don't think BC claim any rights to it at all. [/quote] [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1436217032' post='2816170'] All copyright and ownership of any material posted on Basschat remains with the writer/composer (ie. you!). Unless of course you're about to license something for a small (or preferably large) fortune. In which case I'm personally entitled to 71%. It's all in the small print here: Yep, it's that small [/quote] Thanks gents.

What's the script with stuff entered in these competitions in relation to ownership. If I've entered something does BC have any rights on it or is it mine?

I've not really read the whole thread but for me there is only one true Rockstar on the planet! And that guy is.............. George Micheal! He doesn't give a f***! Gets his peg out in front of a cop, gets done for it, makes a video about it. Doesn't give a f***! Open about his drug taking. Takes drugs, drives cars Takes drugs crashes cars Doesn't give a f***!

Jack Daniels is all you need!

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1435406232' post='2808494'] When the spotify example of James Jamerson playing is Motorhead's Ace of Spades you know it's total sh**e. I actually knew before that but it's something to say. [/quote]

ha ha what a joke. When Cliff Burton and Steve Harris are that high up you know its a load of bollocks! http://youtu.be/23YO8ijT4Ao

He's using two hands. Unacceptable!

[/quote] To be fair to him, they had to stop this tour early because he lapsed back into drink and drug addiction problems. This is from the reunion tour with DLR around 2007. In the preceeding 20 odd years that Sammy hagar was in the band they had been playing it in a different key. but he should have realised, probably too f***ed.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1434858859' post='2803340'] It is strange isn`t it, I`ve seen some bands whose sound has been appalling, yet as they`ve played songs the punters knew, have gone down incredibly well. I sometimes wonder if we try and take it too far, getting all the sounds right etc, given this, but I`d never be happy in a band that had a bad sound (though given the racket my lot make this statement may be viewed as a trifle daft). [/quote] I think people do go too far some times!

[quote name='blamelouis' timestamp='1434933391' post='2803978'] Couldn't believe how bad.... It is scary bad. Anybody else think EVH'S statement that he doesn't listen to music disconcerting? So many phenomenonal musicians telling us the most important tools are your ears. [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1434964950' post='2804135'] Yes, I do, very much so! Our drummer stopped listening to recordings made after around 1982, 'because I don't want to be influenced by anything'. I find that disconcerting too. More and more he is getting on my tits. Trouble is, he's good! Also people like Simon Cowell, Noel Edmonds et al, who don't have proper record collections, don't listen to music as a recreational activity and allegedly don't even have the means to play music in the house... anyway, I digress... EVH is a twat. [/quote] It's a load of bollocks. i read an interview with Slash where he says eddie complemented on his playing on appetite, in that interview he says he's unaware of there music. The guy is a prick. He's a concert trained pianist who went to music college. He said he can't read music. It's just bullshit to get cred that he ain't schooled. I read an interview years ago when he talked about scoring out an arrangement for some thing at college. Harrd to do if you don't read. I love Roth era VH. Even the last one the other year is quite good. The fact that they don't like each othr i think brings out a fire in them. Makes it rock. Hagar era was a cliched cheese fest with retarded lyrics. Hagar thinks he's one of the greats. Evh is great but a massive prick. The fact that DLR comes out on top in personality competition with those two says more about them than DLR. (Who i think is underated as a lyricist, has his own style)

Today I'm mostly being a bitch as my back is killing me!

You could replace them with any old bollocks really! However, the best way would be to get a band who have a song that rocks a little bit or is soft in the verse. Then a chorus that rocks a little bit more. Repeat, then do the last chorus but with shouting. You could even maybe go really quiet for a little bit before the shouting. Then repeat this formula in every song choosing which type of verse you want and whether to have a quiet bit before the shouting.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1434590384' post='2801057'] Presumably you couldn't hear it, not just because it's way below the audible frequency for humans, but because as space is a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound to travel through..? [/quote] In the link I posted it mentions how sound travels as electromagnetic vibrations, so you need special equipment to listen to it. But yeah also cos it's below our frequencies of hearing. Although my wife's voice is lower than that when she wakes up some mornings. Ha ha. I'm dead if she reads this!

As the title says! Check it out! Don't expect symphonies or breakbeats though! [url="http://thespiritscience.net/2015/06/15/nasa-discovers-planets-and-stars-give-off-music-this-is-what-it-sounds-like/"]http://thespiritscie...it-sounds-like/[/url]

Got two wrong. Put minor ninth instead of second. Schoolboy error really. Didn't know the last one.

Waiting!

Just tell him! Jesus christ! Bands are better being balls out honest if you want to improve. We are ruthless with each other in my band. So much so it doesn't seem harsh any more we just laugh at it.

We had a great. He didn't use his left hand, no bass notes. So he didn't get in the way. Said his left hand was for smoking and drinking, his right for playing. He thought most keyboard players got in the way. He wouldn't just hold chords on in string sounds in originals, he just wouldn't play if he thought it didn't need it. He would listen to what the gtrs were doing and dance around them, musically. Also he was a genius. Unfortunately he got ME/CFS and packed it in, I tell him he's a lazy bastard and just can't be arsed. We replaced him with a Roland gtr synth as we knew we couldn't find another player like that so one of the gtr players just puts some synth in when needed.

Tommy Bolin on Geet innit!?
