And yes, you can get away with playing pretty much anything you fancy for as long as you fancy. Good money, minimal gear and you don't have to share the proceeds with four other people.

Yeah, I think that was pretty much covered earlier today on the thread with the guy doing the acoustic Iron Maiden cover. Call me a heathen if you like, I care not a jott, but I'll take Steve Harris' dum de dums over Jaco Pisstakinbass' pretentious muppetry any day. Edited December 14, 2018 by Newfoundfreedom I couldn't bring myself to even write j@zz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be utterly frank, 'heathen' was not what immediately came to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey - first Jaco noodling and now this - whatever next 😯😬😂 I too quite like the occassional Steve Harris wangbangaboomalong as well (with apologies for any 60s/70s Eurovision song potential copyright infringement...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
