  1. Rooms are too small to really hear what the reverb/delay is doing - I should probably just go to Downstairs one afternoon and let rip...
  2. You can - but the current Black Panther party is listed as a racist and anti-Semitic hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Centre (I just found this out, there's not a great deal of writing on the Black Panthers that's not incredibly slanted for/against). In that context I think that there would have been better ways to support the cause than what happened at the Superbowl. Anyways - totally off the point and it doesn't change the fact the Anselmo's a total fud...
  3. Fair bit of kidnap/rape/torture/misogyny/drug dealing/ bank robbery etc. associated with The Panthers isn't there? And some good old fashioned Stalinist purging as well... Not looking for an argument or anything - just saying that there are better examples of empowerment and Black Power than the Panthers.
  4. It's funny because Roswell are terrible....
  5. Did a gig at the weekend with a Baritone Guitar running through a guitar head and 2x12 as well as a bass amp and 8x10. I split the signal to the 2 amps before my effects chain and it sounded massive but i'm wondering whether I should run effects through the bass amp to make it sound massiver? I dunno how reverb and delay would work through a bass setup - and I don't really have the opportunity to try things out through 2 amps with our practice setup....
  6. There's something Kinksy/Tom Waitesy about the music that I like. The singing is a little bit mannered but it's enjoyable.
  7. Drummer sounding like Bummer is also a good reason to only play guitar...
  8. There are a fair few apologists for Jimmy Page, Steven Tyler, Roman Polanski & R. Kelly's well documented love of under age girls, and John Lennon, James Brown and Jackson Browne's domestic abuse as well.... Most famous people are right horrible fuckers, if you weeded out all the baddies you'd be seriously hamstrung in what you listened to read or watched......
  9. It's only a couple of inches longer scale length than the average baritone, same strings should fit no worries, i'd be worried about the tension on the neck tuning it up a 5th though...

    Pet Hates!

    Overton - i lost a wing mirror outside Captain Tom's last year, got a replacement for £25. PIece of piss to fit as well, the electronics were wired into blocks and the assembly just clipped in place. My car isn't a Juke, photo looks like it would fit the same way though...
  11. I think Cellar has bigger problems than just the limiter (one side of the PA not working for instance).
  12. The Revenant. Totally rips off Empire Strikes Back, but it's a good movie.
  13. Aye - think there's 6 or 7 of us going this year. Decent enough line-up, not many surprises.
  14. I have - it is. But I guessed it was a kind of redneck joke...... Blues Funk is deadly serious, also deadly tedious.
  15. Bluesy Punk Mashup is the WORST. Except for Blues Funk, Blues Funk is definitely the worst.
  16. I posted this on Facebook last night - it's the best Bowie song. I didn't like everything he's done, I prefer his pre-Berlin work - but there's always a song or two on every record that stand out. Also sterling mime work.

    Pet Hates!

    The Fubar news page is where I made my my groundbreaking discovery that anyone who doesn't know the difference between there, their and they're is invariably a bit racist.
  18. Pretty sure the standard for comics is CBR or CBZ, most players will be able to read it I reckon. And yeah it is transferable. I use Comic Flow on iPad:

    Pet Hates!

    My favourite so far was the (now deleted) Facebook post by a band playing there next week calling them arseholes. People in bands love biting that hand that feeds.....
  20. I'm enjoying your posts so far, because they start in the middle of thoughts/sentences and have no relation to the thread you post them in.

    I'm a huge fan of both the McIlvanney brothers, really sad to hear William had died.
