Really good to see that there are a few of us around. Just a shame Belfast is running out of music shops!

I'm a Epiphone Thunder bird player. Love it to bits though probably not the best bass to learn on

deanokane2k11 · #11 08-22-2011, 08:25 AM

Great band yes are mate! Had a listen to some of your stuff online when I read about yas getting signed.

You know the lads in Mental Deficiency don't you? I play in a band called Kobi, played a few gigs with them over the past year!

To be honest I'm probably neither now!

I set this username up when I was about 14 and thought Metallica were amazing and cliff burton was the best bassist ever.

Since then Metallica have gone to **** (still awesome live though) and I've discovered many many much better bassists than cliff in the metal genre and beyond! He still was a cool mother ****er though and have to respect what he did for bass in metal

What's the crack Boys. Im technically more from Lurgan direction. Studying music at QUB.
Playing a MM stingray through swr mm2 preamp and swr power 750.

Main gig at the minute is for a guy called Jason Clarke. Had our first single out on Cool FM there and preparing for a gig in aunt annies this saturday. Would love it if you attended. Gimme a shout if that is the case.

I was in a metal band called Lead Cube about 8 years ago and we used to play a place up there called 'The Hoot'. Was a great wee gig, tiny stag like but the place was always bouncin and people always got really into it! Think its shut down now?

Aye, I know all the Mental Deficiency lads pretty well, was drinking with them at Sunflower Fest out in Hillsborough this weekend funny enough.

I think I might have caught you guys playing with MD around a year back, here in Belfast.

deanokane2k11 · #17 08-23-2011, 08:14 AM

yeah they are, went to see them in the odyssey, absolutly mind blowing. they were my first ever gig and what a choice for a first gig

deanokane2k11 · #18 09-22-2011, 05:45 AM
