New band

[Dr.Dave]

You walked the walk , Al, - f****ing good effort - and I think that entitles you to talk the talk with the band re. your concerns.

My guess is they'll be pretty receptive to a bloke who wants to play the songs with a bit more thought and may not feel they have to wing it so much to lift things.

If you've walked straight into that , and joined in with the winging as well as shown what you can do in a week , they'd be dumb not to listen.

bring manc's

I didn't realise the extent of Manc/Scouse rivalry until I worked in a Young Offenders 'Institution' in Lancaster. The daft thing was the 'Norvern Monkeys' hate the 'Suvvern Cahnts', the Mancs hate the Scousers and the Liverpudlians hate the guys from Birkenhead worst of all

I'm not that fussy Pedro - I hate everyone ...and BTW, I chickened out and used my Rebop and thought afterwards that I should have used the LX.

Nice one Al.

Great post......very funny (in a 'i'm glad that wasn't me' type of way!).

Can't belive the LX didn't get the gig though!

Think the Chief is a durex man, Al.....

[ARGH]

You made it,you got paid....Now tell them what real Bass should sound like!

[chris_b]

This is the curse of the dep, they give you a CD which you learn then they play 20 songs which weren't on the list!

Nice one, sounds like you had fun. Get your feet under the table then start to "improve" things.

[tonybassplayer]

This is an excellent thread and I am looking forward to the next instalment......rehearsal during the week perhaps ??

PS well done for learning two sets ( plus a few more ) in a week !!

[steve-soar]

Well in Al, brilliant work and playing Oasis tunes and not needing to shower for a week afterwards.
So how long did you play for all together, seems like a marathon gig?

[stingrayfan]

Nice one Al. I didn't think you'd be bandless for long.

It was a bit of a marathon - probably 2 hours in total. I spoke to the guitarist earlier - he wanted to know how I was feeling I told him I was fine and that I'll get stuck in and learn another 20 songs. He told me to hang fire cos it's changing and in the meantime could I learn Rocket Man, Rosanna and Signed, Sealed Delivered Gotta laugh eh..

We have the luxury of a rehearsal next Sunday before a gig on the following Friday. I think I'm gonna buy a crystal ball and see what the set will be for that

Ha ha Well done mate ...

So are you sticking with it? Whatever you do don't trade your gear for a Harley without giving me a heads up first.[/quote]

Mornin' Jon, yes I'll stick with it, I like a challenge, it keeps you young Having to learn 20 songs a week and more 'on the night' keeps the adrenaline going and what brain I have left active too. Gotta think of these things when you're 39 like me.

I'm sure in a week or two they will have have run out of new tunes
and you will be the task master with your back catalogue/repertoire of tunes that will fit in the set
