Sign in to disble this ad
Ok guys... i've got free ticket in a Loge (free drinks, food with great seats... binaucular etc..etc..) at the Bell Centre here in Montreal last night, from a friend who works for a Beer Cie. So my girlfriends was like "OMG!! we got to go there!"
It was a surprisingly great show! ok the guy are getting old, but that was fun to remember all their catchy song for a night... now i'm good for another 15 years tough... lol
So... the bass player was awesome (as expected...) great 80's Slap lines, plus the groove and feeling of the song was way better than the originals ( as expected too... ).. i really dig the drummer by the way.. you know, coming from that great "gospel" type that makes awesome drummer!
so that's it.. i was looking for his name! i know he played (as expected too... lol) 2 Aguilar DB750! and for his bass...
Alleva coppolo 5 string White/black PG, maple FB
Fender Jazz, black with maple FB and black square inlays and binding on the neck.
and... i Ibanez hollowbody ( !?! )like the Artcore with a big Humbucker a la musicman.
The First Act was Natasha Bedingfield.. and she knows how to sing man!!... none of one note was flat, her fills was always right on and all of this while giving and really energic performance.. great job...
Beside his bass player felt like he not nesseceraily wanted to be there that night... he had a great tone (for an arena show!!! ) he had great fill...
And that was too with a DB750 with a pair of DB410 (or maybe DB212 +DB115 or any other combination...) with a Lakland 55-94. if you guys can get me his name and a myspace adress or something that'd be great!
thanks! |
