You?
Actually come to think of it I hope the next gig I go to is my own band, but I won’t hold my breath on that one!
I’m not too bad mate you know… very wasted from many things after some work shmooze and bore fest.
I would say i’m enjoying the weather and beach life but its shitting down at the moment so can’t enjoy it. Things are cool otherwise i guess, just need to get my head together after new year as haven’t had a chance been too busy with work or going out.

Fine mate.
What you been up to? Any interesting work projects on the go?
Lots of composing which is cool… loads of big jobs but they are adverts so don’t really care too much but at least they sound fucking amazing even if i say so myself.

Yeah i think my liver may explode at the moment.. i don’t think i have had a day off since… day i arrived back, i don’t know what it feels like to not have a hangover and now i’m smoking again i sort of feel like lemmy.. which isn’t something you ever want to feel like.
I need a holiday and detox health spa or something… certainly sleep is something i certainly need.

:) Mate, don’t be so modest, I am sure you are doing your best. All you can do is try, eh?
My band has borrowed a Yamaha hard-disc multi-track recorder thingy off a mate and me and the drummer spent Tuesday getting four songs’ worth of drums recorded (which I must confess was a piece of piss as he uses Yamaha V-drums. Sound very realistic though - just so long as you have them loud enough to cover up the thud of stick against rubber cymbal!) So now I have to work out how to get a decent guitar sound down onto it without wiping over the drums, as I think I may end up with a hi-hat pedal inserted in an overcast area if bollocks up what we’ve already done…

Why would the drum stick sound be a worry? Just take the stereo out of the kits mixer and then you get the pure sound of the kit?

Oh yeah, I just mean when you are in the room when he’s playing them you can hear the noise and it’s annoying, it doesn’t come through the PA or mixer or anything.
I like the fact that we were able to get a different drum sound for each song - Highway to Hell sounds like Phil Rudd, Wishing Well sounds like…whatever Free’s drummer was called …Feel Like Making Love sounds lik…you know, I have no idea who Bad Company’s drummer was either. But you get the drift.
I just hope the next pub quiz I am in doesn’t have a section “Classic Rock Drummer from the 1970’s.” Or cricket. I know fuck all about cricket too.

Used to, in the previous incarnation of the band. Months of my life passed whilst I was waiting for the drummer to finally bring the drum fill in that finished the song off. I think he had some reason why he wanted the song to last for about half an hour, but I never got to find out what it was.
When that band went tits up, the three remaining members decided very early on that there would be no Freebird.
I doubt I am doing my credibility much good here, come to think of it, so I will just add that instead of Freebird we now play our interpretation of an obscure Nine Inch Nails B side remix. I’d name the song, but you probably wouldn’t be cool enough to have heard of it.

Because you were taking the piss out of Gav because I like to say good morning to him, and then Dennis and Divers summoned you up so I thought I’d say Good Morning to you too. I enjoyed the understated irony :)
@Dennis - don’t sulk, it’s unbecoming. I was simply expressing a dissatisfaction at the content of those posts because they didn’t include me and you know what I’m like :rolleyes:

I don’t think the words ‘understated irony’, can ever be applied in any situation where there’s a bright yellow face with its tongue poking out.
But I may be wrong. :p

To be pedantic I just checked and: I called Gav a “big jessie”, he freely admitted to being “a big girl’s blouse”, and I definitely was not stoned at the time as it was 11.41 in the morning… He also called me an “utter cunt”, so now seems like a great opportunity to say:
“Good morning Gav - you cunt” :p

I don’t think I’m going senile - but on the other hand I am in a ridiculously good mood and am most decidedly full of the proverbial beans, which is most inappropriate considering the circumstances.
@Sammy - I’m glad you found it. I was going to look but I decided to go and make a cup of coffee instead :)
