  1. I've never been too comfortable with the owner of that shop, he strikes me as the sort of guy who would rather bolt the doors forever than let anyone in the place, but he seems to excel at selling shite to upper middle class business types who are coming in to buy a guitar for their 14 year old son that can't play worth a shit but will play in a band with a backline that would put Metallica to shame.... "bald guy with glasses" (Steve) was the friendliest one there and took an interest in helping you out and appreciated that people like to hang out in music shops when they play in bands.....I bought my amp from R&B which I paid fucking good money for, they delivered it to me a few days later in broken condition so it had to go straight back to get repaired and I waited 2 months to get it after numerous stories of "our guy has it completely in bits" "just waiting on some parts" "what guitar amp?"

  2. I think the contour of the cutaway body is too big to be a fender, this is how the clones avoid lawsuits.....I also think the glaring headstock is an indication of a shoddy laquer job that someone has done after sanding down the original logo....not to mention the crappy fender logo that looks very off and in the complete wrong place :)

  3. What's more, I'm sure the bloke Banjo (Combo's mate who was in prison with him) was asking to get in on the kicking of Milky at the end of the film, but he's the mate who Milky is arriving to that party with....pretty forgiving of him?? o_O

  4. I use my Roland HD1 kit with Addictive Drums with no problems, as far as electronic kits go, the HD1 is at the very bottom of the market but I can get great results using the MIDI into Nuendo and then triggering Addictive Drums from there. Whats funny about Addictive Drums though, is that the keys for the drums are not GM compliant, ie. when you hit a kick drum it produces C1, a snare is D1, the Crash is C#2 and so on....but these aren't strictly the case in Addictive Drums (only the kick and snare seem to line up)...so you need to set up a custom key map to translate the input keys to different outputs. This is very simple in Cubase/Nuendo, but time consuming while you find the right keys. The instuction manual has the key layout.

    Heres an example of how it should look, notice the hats and toms have different output notes to the input notes, but kick and snare are same. Hope this helps!

  5. buy two tickets, take two rides.

    i dont think this is what the good doctor had in mind when he wrote that.

    I just like the saying ;)

    You go phoning up numbers in the back pages of dodgy magazines then youre inviting all this as far as I'm concerned....

    And who knows...sure they all say they hung up the phone when the subject matter changed....I'm sure they wouldn't fess up to what they were really doing....maybe the guy started out legit and when he got bombarded by fucking pedo's and creeps decided to cash in on it or turn them over...personally I would encourage doing both!

    But yeah....sick evil genius plan...but what a bastard :D

  6. Outside the "reasonably priced" bracket you can get a custom made set from Aberdeen Hearing services on George Street for 160. Its a lot of dosh but they really are the shizzle. Its worth scratching the money together like!! You'll shit a brick the first time someone says "can you hear that" and you can't hear anything, I know I did!! :down:

    Unless you're starting an Evelyn Glennie tribute band, what the hell would be the point in that?

  7. This reminds me of one of those shitty accoustic instore gigs at One Up with some of the steaming spaghetti piss local bands and their muppet audience clapping along but despite knowing what they've witnessed is about as talentless and artless as it gets....they still look for approval from their ring leaders before clapping along like trained sea lions...

    In fact if that was the statement I would think this video is brilliant....

    BUT...this is all deterring from the fact that OP must have been searching youtube for "Vagina Squirting" before finding this horror! :popcorn:

  8. I can remember in 1998 people laughing at me for not knowing how to find free (illegal) software...but it was a bit trickier back then

    Now it's 2010 and people I know of 60 don't realise that what they are downloading is illegal copies of software they should be paying 3 figures for, they thought it was the only way to get it!

    Strange thread...can only guess you're looking to bust someone for divulging this information!!! :D

  9. Get round this by getting some of your own "little buddies" to come and see you play.

    Some bands have a bit more integrity than this, and are perhaps playing in bands to escape such playground popularity contest nonsense....

    Good = the cling on kids leaving (none of them are there for the music anyway)

    Bad = your band looking shit for driving everyone away

    A lot of promoters tried to get around this by putting the shit band with all the sheepy mates on last....all this did was make the shit bands look bigger and better than they actually..and make people show up later for gigs..

    So better advice...get round this by refusing to play on a bill with shit bands!

  10. Some idiot once linked me to a video of some folks in some european country (not sure which one) who film their porn right in the town centre with the public just walking by.....funny to see the old ladies stopping in the tracks to cop a look....im sure if you seach for outdoor sex on google you'll find it...have fun trying it here, then you can get some privacy in a room in bucksburn ;)
