I’ve now got a bassist and a drummer.
I’m now looking for convenient rehearsal space.
We’re paring everything down. Solid rhythm and blues - Stones, Who, ZZ Top, early Fleetwood Mac, Hendrix, perhaps some stripped Floyd. No doubt there’ll be a bit of Gary Moore for some pyrotechnics. Might even throw in some early Van Halen for the hell of it.
Definitely no schmaltzy soft rock.
It's nice to see someone doing something original, you don't get a lot of pub rock bands playing the same old ****, fair play to you.
The second brb or Tobes sees this it's gone.

Why play what people want? **** that play what you like.I've questioned him in the past on this, he claimed he delivered what his clientele wanted, says all we need to know. I could never play something I hated, not even for money.

I disagree, play what you want and if you're any good people will come.If they’re paying if sort of makes it a prerequisite mate.
WALES
That’s not how the pub band scene works though eh. The pub books the band and pays them based on the idea they’ll generate footfall and increase wet sales.I disagree, play what you want and if you're any good people will come.
Hiag getting the band back on the road - sounds like a scene from the Blues Brothers
How about the Booze Brothers as a name Hiag
Could this not have gone in the thread for musicians?
Yeah and that's how **** pub bands work but HAIG seems to think he transcends that despite all the evidence suggesting otherwise.That’s not how the pub band scene works though eh. The pub books the band and pays them based on the idea they’ll generate footfall and increase wet sales.
He patently doesn’t and never has.Yeah and that's how **** pub bands work but HAIG seems to think he transcends that despite all the evidence suggesting otherwise.
Must admit, in all honesty, in all my years, I've never known such a self indulgent individual as yourself. Normally musicians encourage others to participate, but all i ever read about is you, you, you. It's boring bro.
Btw you had a decent drummer, but i guess he dumped you.
The mark of a good musician is somebody who can listen to what other people are playing and compliment them. That's what being in a band is all about. Like football, it's team work. You need to be able to blend your skills with those around you rather than thinking you're the man and trying to dominate. If you do that, it all comes tumbling down. The worst ****ing thing in a band is some **** who thinks he's better than everybody else and stamps all over the sound.
Guitarists and Drummers can be the ****ing worst of the lot too. Trying to show off, playing loud and over the top of everything. When you're in a band, less is more. You have your part to play and you need to let the whole sound do the talking. Being able to listen is as important as being able to play.
