Just listened to 'i like round things that are metal.' pretty cool, am liking this stuff. ur into Squarepusher

Average White Band get my vote

HA! I clicked on one of the links and none other than SEVENTH STREET RECORDS came up. comedy genuis!

I want a website for my band. How come I just don't attract geeky friends?? (narf narf)

Stewart Copeland anyone?

That site sucks, it says I have to enter some pin number??

Go watch satriani live with stu hamm now and tell me he's got shit tone.

yeah' date=' but [i']he wears terrible shirts, so is inevitably ruled out!

Do you actually want to work there for the enjoyment of working there? Or to gain some more of your precious 'Scene Points'.

That was a loser post.

Heehee, you musical gods with your deep pools of knowledge. I am so sure they featured on a programme I watched and had a blonde female singer. If not, then I'm sorry for my unforgivable, shameful lack of insight into music. I am quite obviously doomed and heavily flawed to make such a painful mistake.

Christ! The Killers are just another crap NME lamo band.

They are the one with the chick singer right?

If I may observe' date=' two bass players I've seen I'd class as session players would be Stu Hamm and Billy Shehan. Both play fender. Both are highly technical.

But then, watch Steve Vai Live at the Astoria and witness both the aceness of Billy Sheehan and also, the shitness of his tone!

More importantly when talking about versatility of instruments, his tone got worse as he progressed through tapping and slap. Fender Schmender.

But even with the advancement of technology people will try to recreate the guitars of 50 yrs ago. Same with amps. We live in the digital age' date=' but still prefer the sound of tube amplification. Hell, even vinyl sounds better than CD......

Sheesh, I am starting to sounds like a real old fart!!![/quote']

Hmm. My brother bought a tube amp the other day and I'm told its pretty good. However, I've played some really impressive digital amps (line6 anybody?). To be honest, I wouldn't mind betting that you could create far superior tones with the wealth and diversity of equipment thats available these days. People are always encouraged to think antique instruments sound, 'better' or 'feel' better, when really, that is pretty unbelievable when you look at it. Antique instruments etc are a lucrative market made out of thin air and existing in peoples minds through false representation.

I can't think of any highly technical players (bar pastorius) who use fenders. Whats more they look like clumsy slabs of wood I really really despise those giant heavy headstocks.

Which Aurora do you play for? is it the kinda rock/ceilidh one or the one with Adam on drums?

Going back to the idea that Leo Fender designed both instruments - quite possibly, a guitar designed about 50 years ago would, somehow, be not as versatile as a guitar designed today?

Maybe he learned from his mistakes, I mean, a lot has changed in that many years.

Yes, I would guess they probably are!

the irony being that these fender and Musicman basses were designed by one person.

(incidentally - when did you try the 5 string Stingray?)

Ermm, about a month ago...?

Warwicks I've played seem to be great for slap but not so good for much else. I've played three all with pretty high action, I'm guessin to reduce buzz when slapping, not sure, hmmm.....

If you like Incubus, check out Mr Bungles self titled debut album.

Fender basses just look and feel crap. I can't stand the whole top heavy thing on precisions etc and I don't think they're very versatile. Going by, for example, the jools holland show, you don't see anybody using fenders, except maybe rock bands.

Blur were the most interesting band on it, but I would say Nirvana are the most influential.

Fender schmender! Those jazzes are old-fashioned lumps of timber. Geta Musicman Stingray (2nd time I've written this today...). Played a five string version and it was smooth with what I was doing (slap, finger, shit tapping).

Looks like a red version of my bass players instrument. Mighty fine are Warwicks in my experience, though ya shoulda got a stingray

Hardcore is a crap word. 'emotional hardconrujeiklrgfvfecdyhbvjd' dreary blether shite talentless ssssssamamamamamey soft verse screammmm loud chorus sgduisedbfkj crap everything else

ambient electronic dance grooves eats emotional freakin hardcore

I think you write pretty cool / interesting music, but your guitarist kills the live show

Head Down isn't that bad. Superunknown is prob the worst for me, but the album is bursting with greats.

You just skip the rubbiss tracks though surely?

Yeah, but its the principles...

I second that!
