    St. Pat's Day: Setting ourselves up to flop horribly?

    Don't repeat songs, that's the lamest thing ever. Most people aren't pub crawling, they've chosen their place for the night and are sticking to it. Don't insult the intelligence of drunk people. They don't want to hear the same song again.

    Overdrive/Distortion with eq and blend.

    I believe the EHX Battalion does what you want with being able to position the EQ different places. I had one for awhile and liked it.

    Am I right to pump the brakes?

    I'll give you my recent experiences this summer with my current originals band that started in the spring cuz I feel we have some things in common. I'm also 10 years older but it's 40s to 30s and we've all played live shows before. Our drummer is a guitarist who's only playing drums cuz we...

    Did I get a Friday bass? Fender Troy Sanders

    I mean, I think you have to 100% send it back. You could probably find a used one for cheaper if you were OK with imperfections. I just returned a Grateful Dead hat from Amazon that had a crease I know would never come out. That was $20. Anything new in the thousand dollar range should be...

    Do Married People Have "the One that Got Away"?

    Once you have kids, the question is moot. It's like asking if you'd rather have different kids than you do. Otherwise, if you're not with someone who makes you stop thinking of what-ifs, you're with the wrong person.

    Now that they’re doing a show instead of a gig

    Are they just playing the Shake Your Money Maker album like I've seen advertised? In that way, it's more of a show than a gig. Nothing out of the ordinary is going to happen. Maybe?

    Dilemma

    Seems you have the time/availability to be in at least 2 bands, so the travel for band 3 seems like a non-issue. You said 2 different times that you want to get out and play shows. Simple question: do you like the originals? If yes, go for band 3 and the plentiful gigs for now. If you want...

    To best appreciate punk rock, perhaps you had to live through the excess of the contrived

    Correct, at the point of success you become a ska band.

    What song are you listening to right this moment?

    Tough songs to sing and play

    Anything other than Tom Petty or just hootin and hollerin. Last band was a 3 piece and the singer/guitarist basically made me sing. It was definitely tough cuz it's not something I practice a lot. If the vocals don't match the bass pattern, forget it. And The Boys Are Back in Town is...
