artisan Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) My band "Jack Sabbath" have a gig booked on March 7th at the Brewery Tap in Bradford. Unfortunately I won't be available to play this gig as I am having a knee replacement operation a couple of weeks before this. Short notice I know. We just play the early Ozzy era stuff. Are you up for the challenge? If anyone is interested then please pm me & I'll pass your details onto our band leader. Many thanks.

I sat down during the gig and everyone carried all my equipment and set it up. was actually quite a good gig, although not very rock'n'roll! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Would love to do it but am in Ireland. If you’re properly stuck, though, perhaps... 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Takes the pressure off ! Like Mr WIB, i also had surgery ( replacement hip due to old car accident ) late November last year and was gigging New Years eve. The guys and girls in the band sorted everything from picking me up at home, hauling the gear to the car, then into the pub, set it up, tore it down and tranpsorted me and the rig back home again. It can be done ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well, that's nothing. I had a heart and lung transplant and insisted it be done under a local anaesthetic so I could do my mandatory hours daily bass practice, which that day was scheduled to he a jam session with Eric Clapton and Cozy Powell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird having your knee done, in that it is done under local anaesthetic (well, an epidural) with sedation, so when you sort of come round, there are a lot of people gathered round you hammering your knee with general tools. You don't feel it of course, but you do feel the force of being pushed into the bed. Still, nice you get to see some of it happening.

The operation was the best part of the day! And.. it was my birthday. And it has to be said that that knee is one of my favourites now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Mine is on a Saturday morning so hopefully it will be over by lunch time (unless they cancel it of course) Don't think I could stand all that daytime TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artisan Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Being flat footed & fat caused mine mixed with a few off road bike spills too. Edited January 29, 2020 by artisan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Sam Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I had a bar put in my right wrist 7 years ago due to RA and last February had to get it taken out as a couple of the screws had come loose. It was giving me agony. I'm now waiting to get a new bar to be put in. As a Scotsman, I've been chucked out of a few bars, never had 2 inserted though.

stewblack Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 My achilles tendon snapped a week before gigging started with a new band. I was in plaster to the hip, not allowed to weight bear on it so on crutches and some pretty debilitating pain killers. Played sat on a stool for the first few gigs. Not cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
