Seen slash a couple of times, once back in 88 with oringinal Buns n Toasties – the who band were shocking – put it down to drugs I guess

then again at a gibson anniversary show at wembley arena – playing and trading 45 mins of solos with Zakk Wilde – Whilst don’t like Zak or Slash it was very clear that talent and ability shone from Zakk and Slash was very ordinary.

Both on Les Pauls so thats obviously not the difference

Read his autobiography which is aping Motley Crues the dirt for ‘stupid things wot I haz done’ style

Legend – in his own head perhaps

Lucky – certainly

Talented – Well he came up with some mighty riffs and great solos

As a person whose been through a lot in his life I find him engaging, as a guitarist I like his style but hate the band he became famous in.

Not like a songle thing hes been on that I heard.

I love take that

They’re all so pretty

I hope that you could tell me which music event you have been to that doesn’t involve logistics.

I’ve seen over 1000 paying gigs in the last 30 years and obviously after that amount of gigs I’ve pretty much seen it all. I also have done lots of sound and light gigs and its that that interests me much more than music these days.

Music is about everything from spirit, talent, inspirition and drugs to the valves in your amp to the air in the lorry drivers tyres.

I think I’ll be the judge of why I would certainly go and see take that given the choice.

Final Countdown – RAWK!

I’d just say pick a budget and spend that. I would have no problem spending £500 on a ‘beginners’ guitar.

As mentioned abve you have to spend an amount of cash before you get to something that just works. Certainly guitars seem a lot better at lower cost these days.

I’m all for Takmine myself, not bad quality generally and I prefer the more middling tone rather than something ‘tingy’ like a taylor

Plum

I would without doubt go if some one had a free ticket

A show like that with the logistics would be incredible to witness

Quite some of their songs too

Plum

perfect idea – nice one

Is the blue eye shadow on sale?

mine runs much slower with hi res film clips from my HD cam thanjust running/editing my normal cam clips

Bedlington?

Deeper underground – Jamiraqui
Outsider – Tommy Shaw
Amaranth – Nightwish
Running up that hill – Kate bush
Abelene – Glen Burtnick
Ain’t talking bout love – Van Halen
I can only disappoint you – Mansun
Love to love – UFO

Black Cherry

Very winky indeed but awesome

100-130 Revs on my 853

115 going up
130 coming down

if I remember to adjust of course

Love my 853

Try Dominic Miller – First Touch CD – seems to work on almost anything

As SR said

ruthlessly edit everything into clips then wack some music over the top and it’ll probably make itself

Like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE_JIfN0Dxs
but with less bikes and more family

Plum

Sorry I have re addressed my previous statement

Very dull

Love the Terje clip just because I have a very small insight as to how that feel – just bonkers

The climbing clip neaqrly made me puke though – nuts

Plum

dull

All knobs apart from his royal Floydness

I recall with great clarity his garlic, antilope penis and cannibis leaves cook up – brilliant

I do find I’ve picked up a lot from Jamies style though

Plum

When I was a kid we never used leads

We trained our dogs properly

innit

Plum

I’ve done a lot of boarding and skiing

I prefer boarding but you should try both if you have the opportunity

Plum

All my brakes have different bite points – including shimano deore

still work fine though

YMMV

Plum

As a result of this thread I will be going to buy some beers tomorrow to celebrate the hopefully iminent demise of Mrs Thatcher.

Oh and surf matt – why you felt to need the death of your baby is beyond me

Plum

Bogtrotter more Southerly members have a wednesday night ride most weeks but I don’t think its in the ride list – I’m sure SFB would be able to give you Matts number who organises that I think

Theres South Manchester Massive – NBT and Binners off here I think

Theres also BAD – Blackburn and Darwen MTBers

And I think Nezbo off here has a small group that ride around Darwen area.

I’m happy to show you the bits i know on the other side of the valley from Peel Tower up near the windmills – any time as I’m time rich/job poor

I was married to the most incredible, beautiful girl I had/have ever met

However for reasons know only to her she started telling me what I could and couldn’t do.

I thought I’d be better off and happier on my own.

It was very cold hearted on reflection, however, I have never regretted my decision

Plum

I’ve been to watch two different version of Swan Lake this year, irrespective of the astounding athletism on display, I was at times genuinely moves by the beauty of it all.

I know its not for everyone but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen and hope to go to many more.

Note: For the most attractive ladies I find contemporary art galleries very fruitful. I also enjoy people talking complete bollock at the same time :D

Plum

853 inbred SS specific – just lovely

hollingworth lake area rochdale

I seem to recall that the Alps are a much younger set of mountains than the Rockies. The Rockies therefore are much more eroded and less ‘jaggardy’

Thats how I remember the explaination anyway

I’ve boarded and ridden in the Alps and the Rockies more than most and I much prefer the Rockies for over all ‘niceness’ but nothing seems bottom clenchingly rad the way the alps does

PLum

I thought JC was doing Garburn pass as well?

have ridden both – carbon are infinately betterer

Plum

I think you’ll find that Bon Jovi originated the unplugged scenario

However I always like Poison totally not unplugged ‘unplugged’ approach

Plum

I’d love an electronic drum kit after seeing a roland demo years ago

Not to be though I’m afraid

Plum

Yes, it was excellent and I still have it in the same build 3 years later – new tyres though

spec myka at leisure lakes sale the other day foe £250 – I saw a medium frame but they probably have others
