discreet Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 [quote name='BassYerbouti' timestamp='1400084482' post='2450611'] Me and the Mrs are off to Glastonbury at the ripe old age of ahem 50 something. She went years ago and has never stopped going on about it, so thought I'd go and see what all the fuss was about. [/quote] Good grief, you don't actually need to go - you can experience the whole Glasto vibe by camping out in your back garden - just put Metallica on the stereo, turn it up, open the windows, pee on your tent and steal your own shoes. Et... violin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just want a bass player , not another sex symbol in the band [/quote] That's funny - when I audition with names acts they want another sex symbol in the band - but I'm just a bass player.

Dingus Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 However unlikely it may seem to you or I , according to many ( well, at least two) female Basschatters, Dave Ellefson of Megadeath is actually the benchmark when it comes to sexy male bass players. That is the standard I am now trying to reach, and I keep a picture of Dave by my mirror, just to keep my own shortcomings in perspective. Whilst we're on the subject, does anybody else find the beard that James Lomenzo is sporting nowadays a bit sinister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were very lucky that Center Parcs didn't seek a prosecution last time, and the CPS are cracking down on that kind of thing nowadays . .
