Clarky Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 ... but are you "willing to dress up a little bit crazy and move around on stage to contribute to exciting performances"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 From the ad: Quote The band's image is that of a gang of individuals. Yeah right—sounds like it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPJ Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Wow. They should get a drummer that can keep time whilst they are looking for a bassist. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of tastefully applied autotune on the vocals wouldn't have gone amiss. I did like the funny stuttery effect in the guitar solo though.

JapanAxe Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 'Age 22-40'. My age will soon be 22+40. I have long hair but like Happy Jack I don't usually wear it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) I wonder if long, luxuriant back hair counts? Note: for the avoidance of doubt, I would also fail on this count, thankfully Edited July 14, 2022 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunion Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Inspired by punk bands like the sex pistols who of course all sported long flowing locks as this picture clearly shows Edited July 14, 2022 by Bunion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I've got great hair but apparently I have a bad attitude. I might apply just to be unreliable for my own amusement. Ah crap, I see what they mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 The guitar sound is a killswitch. Not a fan of their music, but the ad is honest and not patronising or too arsey. The guitarist's hair looks a bit short to me. Would my ponytail be acceptable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Well, i can't sing , i ain't pretty, and my legs are thin. Nor can i keep time. I'd be perfect for that horrible mess of a band Oh, 'ang on.. Not much hair. Over 40. Dont move around around. No dress sense. Forget it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Does nasal or a hairy back count? Where do I apply? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I actually have an EMG killswitch fitted to a bass which I put in to fill a hole where the original preamp used one more pot than the EMG system with stacked pots that replaced it. I've not really experimented with it so I'll have to have a play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I was told after a gig in the 80s, “mate, you’d be a great singer if you had long hair”. True story. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicko Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The ironic thing is that if I'd heard the song on that video without having read this thread I wouldn't have thought that the band would have long hair. The sound doesn't match the image at all. Sounds more like American college punk from the 90s. It was bad enough that I didn't research their on line presence further though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Ironically, the bass playing is probably the best thing in that video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
