molan Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 [quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1355996944' post='1905369'] His website is an absolute hoot... [/quote] And contains a ludicrous political rant on, of all pages, his list of gear. Running down the side of his guitar pictures is a long rant about the EU, immigration in general, immigrants taking jobs and houses from UK citizens, how being part of of EU has emptied churches (!) and crippled the NHS, how the police are facist bully boys who kill without fear of prosecution, voting conservative, labour or lib/dem means we have all invoked a 'super heavy control society', some anti-communist rubbish, conspiracy theory stuff, the ruin of our children by teaching them about sex and homosexuality, racist comments about Poles, Nigerians and Filipinos, how Britain is being 'abolished' and on and on and on. These sound like the ramblings of a seriously deranged mind to me. . . Quote

When Britain finally capsizes under the weight of illegal immigrants and the fascist police are machine-gunning the survivors on the instructions of Satan's Spawn EU Comisars, who'll be laughing then, eh? Well? Eh? Oh alright officer, I'll come quietly, but society's to blame. Buggrit buggrit, millennium hand and shrimp ... Quote
molan Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Forgot to add - the rant seems to kick off from a reference to pre-decimal currency. He seems pretty opposed to decimal currency as well so, if anyone has the rig for the gig, they may want to check if they are being paid in old ten bob notes or not Quote
JTUK Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Well, on the face of the Ad above, I'd do it... have to see what would actually pan out in rehearsal...and the fact that I don't want to schelp around the home counties but if all the ad says is don't waste the time, then that seems an ok pitch to start with.. But the other links would be good for browse thru as well. What have I missed...?? Quote

Cyrene Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 That's one busy website. Headache inducing just looking at it, never mind reading. Quote

stef030 Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 What is strange is that the man himself has not been back not a word.maybe we are not worthy or he is away gigging in country pubs with his band and is too busy still there we go cheers stef Quote
Master blaster Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 the thing I love most about his website is the need to stress how important he internation dialling code is. It's just classic pointlessness. Also i wonder if Iron Maiden think there careers that has made them millions is all down to Mak Percy getting them signed. Quote

vindi Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I saw an old episode the other week & it had a double bass on the bandstand at the cheesecake factory. Quote

such Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 oh no, I've only got a 4x10 and enjoy playing in London sometimes. On top of that, I'm a Pole. I'm not worthy. Quote
tthiggins Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 i think perhaps the awesomeness that is mr percy may have been lost on most of you. It would be an honour dear sir to step into the breach armed with my 15watt practice amp and crack converters 3 string special.... Quote
lonestar Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Well i'm glad that I'm not worthy enough to stand in the prescence of such awsomeness. Especially as I only have a Markbass 2"x 10" and I'm partly of foreign extraction and an immigrant Father. I find myself revisiting his site from time to time and still not convinced that it's for real and not all a spoof. [i](insert conspracy theory here you other free thinkers. Ed).[/i] Quote
tthiggins Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 now you come to mention it there did seem to be a touch of the tap about it,i wonder if them ampeg stacks need to go up to 11? Quote
