Would you turn this down.

[b]Having reached official "old age" now, I had considered giving up the rockier stuff and doing some country / blues stuff due to the fact my voice can't cope anymore and I find it hard work. However, I just had an offer to play with this guy. He's a completely mad AC/DC stalker, writes tribute songs to them, makes videos, records himself in his studio and plays all the instruments on the tracks. He's had a band in the past and now wants another. Apparently, one of his videos is on their official site!![/b]

I'm old and in pain but this just looks too crazy to turn down. I just love a weirdo. He's got loads of stuff on You Tube.

Whadya reckon, go for it?

if you can live with his disease, go for it!
at least he can make something proper.

[Bassman Sam]

I say go for it, I reacon you'll have a laugh.

[4 Strings]

What have you got to lose? Go for it, a final effort! If it turns out difficult go for the blues.

Could you live with yourself if you turned it down? I think not and yes you'd be mad no to do it!

How old is official 'old age'?
In any case, why not go for one last exhausted lunge at your shattered dream?
If no joy, you can get your fringed jacket out, grow a beard and buy some flatwounds.

I would. In fact if I lived in france I would definately! GO FOR IT!!

[Prime_BASS]

He's doing all the hardwork by the looks of it, and with the ability to record stuff at a decent quality the end reward could be very benificial.

[Jayben]

Looks f*ckin hilarious! Go have fun!

[Noah Deere]

Do it, it looks like it would be a great laugh.

Thanks guys. I think I will. I was sort of expecting a few replys about shattered spinal columns, deafness, having to buy light basses, learning to play a Tammy Wynette set and being in by 10.pm.

But, this guy is too crazy to ignore for me. Especially here as we're not exactly talking about the centre of the musical universe. I've met him before at the French guitar festival. He can actually do a pretty good Chet Atkins as well but AC/DC is his passion or rather, infatuation to the point of scary.

The Romford boy is actually quite a hard act to mimic as has been said before. CW has got to be one of the tightest and solid players ever. It all sounds simple until you need to play like he does.

Gary - this is the only thing I have ever read that makes me want to live in France! Just too much fun to ignore.

Sorry Keith. I had just recently woken up and not had my double espresso - am I excused?

[Paul S]

Who the hell is Gary, anyway?
