  1. Aberdeen was famous for its gangsters in the past......surely everyone still remembers Pretty Boy Fobbie' date=' Baby Face Nelson Street, Plookface and Bonnie & Deeside? Or in the 60s those loveable rogues Mad Frunkie Fraser, and the McCrae Twins? Even more recently there have been gangs to avoid, as seen in that other Aberdeen Gangsta film, "Straight oota Constitution Street".[/quote']

    v funny. v good

  2. The aberdeen scene to me is non existent' date=' i only really want to go see a few bands every year in aberdeen. Too many bands that do play aberdeen don't challenge me enough to go and see. If only the bands that i go to see in glasgow came to aberdeen then i would be happy. The aberdeen community isn't diverse enough and is far too shallow.[/quote']

    didnt want to say anything (stupid topic really tbh) but this post is the reason the "scene" (such a crap word) does not exist properly. people like you who will only go to see a few bands every year........then where the fuk do all the local bands get their audience from if you are going to be such a snob and not go check them out and support, nae, help MAKE a scene.

    if you (and this isnt personal to you, there are many others out there just the same) cant be arsed going to watch local acts play wherever. then stop posting your opinions of the local scene...

    ps. i have scene (ha ha) most, not all, local acts. i have a list i am working my way through. and some i dont like i will still go watch again cause they are bothering to get off their arse and do something.

  3. I was kinda glad they didn't play too many of the songs from the new album (simply because I haven't heard many of them yet so I wouldn't be into it so much) but what I did hear did sounds great. The Hand That Feeds sounded much better live than recorded I have to say. The other two songs they played from the new album sounded similair in style to that song but it was really quite hard to take it all in after hearing it just once.

    What was more impressive was how they have re-worked some of the old songs in their set. Hurt is now mostly just Trent playing the song on keyboard with the rest of the band gradually coming in during the song - sounded ace. Closer now has part of Kinda I Want To played during the breakdown!

    The current band look and play MUCH better together than the band during the Fragility tours did. Maybe it was just because I was three rows from the front rather than up in a balcony as I was in 1999' date=' but the band seemed much tighter this time. The new guitarist (Aaron North?) in particular is quite mental - throws his guitar all over the place like he is in Dillinger Escape Plan or something!

    This was definitely a Top 5 gig for me and well worth the long trip. :)[/quote']

    you whet my appetite for more live NIN. excellent.

    outta interest, kerrang has a big interview with trent this week....

  4. You must be kidding!!! I was stuck in the bend of the bendy bus with my guitar between my knees and a Bargain Hunt fan for company. I was nearly in tears by the time I arrived!

    bus journey from hell. you have my deepest sympathy.

    we are hoping to play south (london included) later this year so we might take you up on your offer of assistance.

  5. xbox roxks. especially if you can get online with it. DOAultimate, rallysportchallenge2, starwars:republic commando, halo 1+2 and ghost recon 2. all pretty ace. i love shooters and xbox does it better than ps2 (though pc is the daddy). played a bit of pro evo4 and fifa on xbox. pro evo wins on that count - footie games aint my fave though.......

  6. all the dudes were pretty awesome. that was one of the best gigs ive seen. all of them going mental. dropping in and out of songs with jams and playing for 2 hours. wow.

    Marcel..... if he was the guy sitting playing keys and occasional precussion he looked like he was gettin into it as much as the rest of the band but, hey, they were all gettin into it :D

    would say more but was pretty drunk too which doesnt help the old memory. fave song though was Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of). brilliant!!!

  7. Just out of curiosity' date=' are you actually having any problems with feedback right now or is this a 'rather take it and not use it, than need it and not take it' thing (like a spare guitar cable) ?

    By your last post it looked like you were pricing them up, maybe theres a cheaper solution (like wedge placement or microphone type).

    Or were you just asking out of curiosity? :)[/quote']

    was just a curiosity thing. i play bass and dont sing so i dont really have any probs with feedback - unless tis on purpose :D if i was too spend that kinda cash on something a 31band EQ would be top of the list i reckon but then would i really need that either.......

  8. loads of info. cheers.

    ive read a few good articles on setting EQ levels and so on and read somewhere that feedback eliminators are quite handy for vocalists (in-line types btw) for reducing feedback in the monitor mix. checked someprices - a bit too rich for me anyways

    guitars need feedback :D
