Or 'Phlegm-o-matic', K-Tel could do the marketing. "The ultimate in phlegm redistribution systems". Unfortunately it's just an old, broken guitarist tethered to my desk by an old mic cable and trained to spit into other old, broken guitarists pints at my bidding. Nothing as hi-tech as ghostbusters backpacks in Drummonds you know.

If you look at the bottom right of the poster, you can see this gig is for old people to get some entertainment. If you look at the line up , you can see.....

Maybe this is the documentary of their Canadian tour?

Ah, white dog poo, it takes me back. Texan bars as well, sort of a prototype deep fried mars bar mixed with a destructive dental health check. Superb.

I think I've only seen one person use them in the last five years so I'd imagine they're quite rare (or at least a guitar player sober enough to remember to take them off is). I can' recall the last time I saw an old Grolsch bottle but I've got a feeling they're still lurking around. The same way that crates are quite rare now as well, funny how people always expect bars to have 500 empty beer crates when nowadays nearly all the bottled alcohol is delivered in cardboard boxes, and has been for years. We can sob into our beers while remembering the old days at THE BIZATHON, round about 4.30ish is good for me.

I think Paul will, he does it every year.

If it's under new management then maybe all opinions formed several years ago should be put on hold until you've checked it out again. Think back to what the Moorings/Drummonds was like 3 years ago.

Read this!!!!! Today, Radio 4, 6.30pm. They're doing the last three books in the trilogy with the original voices (apart from the late, as in the late Peter Jones, it's a sort of threat) being missing for previously explained reasons.

Yeah, but with EVERY channel. We do fuck all, stand about, move stuff around, pretend to work. You're all being conned and we love it. sound engineers ARE the Illuminati.

Yup, like he says.

What about a "house lead vocalist", then the real one can stand at the bar, have a pint and tell all the hot chicks what a great vocalist he is.

with a G-raff as your avatar I thought you would've spotted the word NECK in there.

Ha, drummer humour just keeps getting better. I was talking about the "feel" from the drummers view. I'm very aware that a different beater will change the "feel" of the kick drum. Pain in the ass if you've got the same kick drum but three different beaters in one night. I'm only asking questions so I can maybe help some people out, if you don't want to answer in a sensible fashion you can sit and listen to crap kick drums for the rest of your life.

Mmm, let's think, you're in one of my venues in about 10 days aren't you. Better start coughing up.

Damn, outwitted by a drummer, or was the avoidance of the question simply an admission of ignorance.
