Pantera - Cemetary Gates

ESP LTD Hybrid-300, great guitar and was only made for a short time (guess most of ESPs buyers didn't want to stray from the pointy metal beast style) Ibanez SA160QM good solid backup guitar. need to give it some attention really as it's been sittingin the cupboard unloved for a while Freshman acoustic. Really nice and affordable acoustic. I've also got a squire strat kicking about that was my first guitar.

I got lessons for a year when I was 14 and it gave me a good grounding I think. You get what you put into it basically. A friend of mine started at much the same time with the same teacher but actually practised and he turned out to be the best guitarist I know. Whereas I'm mediocre at best but can play what I want to play.

saw them on top of the pops saturday this morning (I was flicking between channels you understand). Would it be wrong to say I liked the song? I lked the riff and the singer has a good voice. Again it's nice to a see a band being marketed at that particular "pop" audience who are playing their isntruments and writing songs.

I'm quite hopeful for the film. Turns out it's the excellent Hammer and Tongs (creator's of various excellent music videos) who are producing and directing it.

I'd say Radiohead have been the most important band to emerge in the last decade. Certainly as far as broad appeal (consistently huge worldwide unlike, say, oasis), influence and sales go.

You have a full keyboard, stop being lazy and use it. It doesn't take long to type out a word in full, and you never know by the end of it you may even have remembered how to spell. Back to the matter in hand. I'm going to throw my lot in with the anti-smiths brigade here. And i'll raise you a Joy Division and a Cure as well. The (un)holy trinity of dull, depressing, irritating bands. And of course if we're talking over-rated then we're talking every flash in the pan, NME hyped pub rock lad band from the stone roses and oasis to shed seven and ocean colour scene. With the possible exception of The Charlatans.

I had a job interview there once. They never phoned me back. Bastards. Frosty obviously wants to tell us where has the best acoustics, or he wouldn't have said the sydney opera house was only the second best.

well he's giving me a stand with it so sounds like 30-40 quid would be a fair price. Sorted.

I've been offered a Beyerdynamic M300 TG Mic from someone at work. Infuriatingly he didn't say how much he wants for it and just said "make an offer". So for those out there that know what they're talking about, is it any good and what's it worth second hand and in good nick? I'm just going to use it for recording some acoustic guitar and some singing.

it's a typo, it should read "you don't need flesh" take your flesh off and try again...

song 2 was called Choosy I think.

one of my highlights from this year was the Alisdair Roberts gig at the lemon tree. Especially when all the hardcore folkies walked out in disgust because he didn't have a fiddle or something. Dave scaring Mr Roberts afterwards with his fandom was quit funny as well. Another highlight is readiing this thread and discovering Alisdair Roberts has a new album in the works. Wooo.

reuben are nice guys but their music is ducking dull. horrible and generic stuff.

lost prophets without a doubt. it's all about the songs and the Foo Fighters just have the better songs.

if it's free I might wander down if there's nothing else on. bit skint until pay day. who are Lost? What they like?

especially with a squire strat.

you bought them? most of them were given away free...

if it's any consolation it almost happened (but not as dos dedos), but it didn't quite work out.

dos dedos reunion!!!!! quiet you. it's not happening.

funnily enough I was trying to find my copy of the first RBC demo a few days ago. Original gigging lineup was Sid on Vocals (currently with End Of Everything), Chris on Drums (currently drumming for Element 106), Craig on Bass(now, as he was then, playing bass with Sidca), myself on Guitar (most recently with Dos Dedos), Martin on percussion (most recently seen drumming for Dedalus for a couple of gigs) and of course Pete on Guitar (recently drumming with We Become Less). The lineup changed shitloads after that. Dunno exactly who was in them over the whole course. James Radio Lucifer was for a while, as was Mark who used to play in Starfall (maybe he still does I dunno).
