Mikey R Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Eh up, Ive just joined a new band. We had our first get together today, it all clicked and Im really happy with it, I had to share. We mostly play Pink Floyd songs, but theres a few other songs in there too. I should be back to gigging towards the end of the year. Lots of songs to learn, their repetoir is HUGE!

elom Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Good on ya! Always good to have some new people to play with. I've just joined a band too after a couple of years out of the game. Rehearsal no 3 was today and its a lot of fun so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey R Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) And this is us at our second practice. Im amongst friends, so please ignore the second dodgy note, it got better. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f155rlBWDZU[/media] Also, we're not using my rig, its a dodgy Ashdown combo that Im pushing really hard to keep up with the drums. Hence the uber-grind.

xilddx Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 That's really good for a second practice. Congratulations on your new band! Great feeling isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Congrats man, that does sound good for a second practice. And personally I'm loving the über-grind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey R Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 I agree, it would work on some hard rock, but its a little too agressive for Floyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey R Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Ive been thinking, is that distortion from the power amp, or is it speaker cone destruction? Is that the infamous "farting out" we're supposed to be avoiding? Its difficult to tell, as loudness dulls your perception of these things over time, but it may be that the amp started off fairly clean at the beginning of the rehearsal, then got progressively dirtier. Could that be speaker damage, or could that just be the power amp heating up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
