These songs go over very very well for us! Nickleback's - Figured You Out is another one that the chick's really dig.

Thank you so far for the advice and your input. Factor 88, we have been very successful in the 2nd year of playing. Four years into things now & we play gigs that some bands with 20+ years under their belts don’t play. Our calendar year booked up by February, bars & festivals want us to...

Nojj, same deal! Danceable music, if they aren't dancing then the song needs to be replaced. I want them dancing from the first song to the last song. Nelly, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, LMFAO, Macklemore, Usher, and the list goes on. All songs that have certainly earned their place in music. But I...

Is it wrong to be pissed off about being handed a list of 30 songs and a “dream set” list from the guitar player with no input from the rest of the band and told this is what we should be doing? The drummer/band leader piped in agreeing with him saying “this will open up so many more avenues...

In my almost 30 years of playing, I have shared the stage with some very talented individuals & some not so talented. I agree that we all learn & grow from any situation so we shouldn't judge solely on musicianship or skills. I played with a "jam band" that was nothing short of a Saturday get...

Razzmatazz, I agree it is odd to see big name groups using cables. Recently at the Thin Lizzy, Black Label Society, and Judas Priest concert here in Cincy. I think everyone except a couple of musicians & Rob Halford used wires. I left wondering if it was a fidelity issue, interference...

It seems there are plenty of negative posts about manufactures, effects, service, etc. Anyone else had a great interaction with an effects manufacturer lately?? Let me tell you about mine: I bought a used Rane DC24 unit from Guitar Center, the unit works fine but was missing a few knob...

My band Final Order is playing the Taste of Cincinnati here in Ohio. We are the headlining act for 96 Rock Stage and the fun begins at 9:30 Saturday night!

Thx Darkstorm, you were correct. The previous owner had the saddles all jacked out. The height adjustment screws were almost all the out of the saddle to raise the strings. Now I'm looking to replace the nut and have the bass setup professionally. The old one is really cut into badly and...

Does anyone have any information on an aftermarket bridge that would be a direct replacement for a stock BC Rich Beast bass bridge?? I purchased a used Beast but the saddles fall out of the bridge when I replace the strings, not sure if this is normal for this model. In fact, one popped out at...

We all gather with our drink of choice, go over the house specials, events, wait-staff names, etc. We toast, wish each other a good show, drink up & walk on. Seems to work very well!!

My former band had a sponsorship type of deal from a local beer distributor, there were no restrictions or limitations put on anything that we did. All they merely did was pay for our banner & put a beer logo on it. We never had to promote anything, sell, etc.

Yep, I had a practice that just pissed me off a few weeks ago. We got everyone together for a Saturday session to run thru our setlist. We started at 2:30 & by 4:30 we'd only gone thru 10 songs. Sure we needed to work on them, but the drummer & singer wasted 10 - 15 minutes every time we...

Okay, don't shoot me but when I play out I have a Mr. Potato Head Gene Simmons and another smaller Gene figure. Now before the laster points take aim. My 6 year old picked them out & he makes sure when I pack up that I take them to every show with me. I also keep a netbook on top of my rack...

Okay you got me, I'm in. I can't solo or slap either ... bass that is! :D

Meyatch, unfortunately you are right both gigs are gone & our chances of getting into the new venue have greatly diminished. He doesn't see opporunities for what they are, chances for the future. I don't want to go up there & flop either but sometimes you just have to be willing to jump off...

He has been the singer in the band for the past 3 years, got mad at the drummer in the summer & left the group in September. He's not green by any means, that's why I really don't understand his thinking right now. The rest of us have subbed for plenty of other bands, some of those subs with...

I have a question about an issue building in our band. We recently reacquired our old singer, replaced a drummer & for the past 2 months have been learning some new material, not a bad thing. But here is my issue. We have been offered up 2 gigs, one this weekend & one next weekend. In both...

This was a response to an ad on CL, just to be clear. While it is concise, to the point, cold & HR-ish sounding. Most job interviews I've evern gone to don't wait until the night before to give you the details of when to show up, etc. I would have walked into this audition looking to join...

We do the same, I have 4 basic designs that I just change the information on for each gig:

I agree that they do sound professional and spelled out everything very clearly. Maybe its just me but the response is cold, regimented and didn't know if I needed to respond with a hand salute or not lol. Just not used to prison guidelines for a cover band is all. Added: I mean do you...

I happened upon an ad on CL looking for a bass in a band, it interested me. But what insued afterwards was mind boggling. Do people really read their responses and how they come across to the general public?? Here is the response I got:

So you are saying look at the recording label, send each label a letter asking for permission to use the song snipet in our demo?

Don't want anyone to get me wrong, I'm all about making sure people get their credit and what is due them. That's why I posted the original question. Then entire demo is 2 minutes long with snipets from 10 different songs. If I need permission. licensing, etc, that is fine I just need to...

I have a quick question with maybe a not so easy answer. I found part of a thread on this subject but the link was outdated & broken. Situation: My band (a 100% cover band) has recorded a demo CD of songs from various artists. We then compiled snipets of selected songs to creat a demo...

Up on the bar of my favorite place to play in Northern Kentucky!!!

When we play out, I'm wireless. Let me tell you that there is nothing betther during a good gig stinkfest than farting next to a couple and having the ability to walk away. Only thing better is looking back to see the girl smacking her boyfriend much to his surprise... ah the power of RF...

After our first set, I was walking off stage, headed back for a beer. As I passed a table I hear "MMM MMM MMM." I kept walking trying to play hard to get, got my beer & turned around. She was 60 if she was a day old, drinking draft beer on a senior discount card, EPIC let down. On my way...

I think kids and adults too, all consume the music that the mainstream music machine pushes. For me it all started with Milly Vanilly or however you spell it, and other groups followed suit. Things changed from raw talent to "who looks best in an outfit!" When I look a the groups winning...

Oh and a third party confirmation up to the second party confirmation!!! Bad Girlfriend does kill when placed in close proximity to SO HOTT.

Here's my band Jack Squat. Funny thing is my momma always told me I wouldn't amount to Jack Squat while I was growing up. MOMMA I MADE IT!!!!! :D

For us the biggest crowd response with dancers: Thunderkiss 65 - Rob Zombie Sexy Back - Justin Timberlake (nothing like a rock band covering Justin) So Hott - Kid Rock

I had my right wrist done about 10 years ago as well & I have no problems with my playing at all these days. I took 6 weeks off from work, only because I could, lol. But I was using my hand for manual tasks by the end of the first week. Had my left hand done last year, that surgery didn't...

He wouldn't listen to anyone, we tried to get him to dress a little better but he always played in sweat pants, t-shirt with a sweat shirt over it. By the end of any set he was sitting down on a stool with sweat pouring down his face. So he was given a choice, change his appearance &...

We fired our 2nd guitarist for being too fat. Our fans were complaining about seeing his stomach hanging below his shirt when he played. He's also now our former sound guy.

Check out this link to Craigslist. Sad to say but it does describe a fair portion of sellers out there!!! [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Got a gig for NYE, a friend of mine just booted his bass player & called me a week before the gig. So now I'm hunkered down learning like a mad man. Nice gig though, good $$$, free motel room, free food, & drinks for the wife & I. :bassist:

This isn't really covered from what I've seen, I'm just curious if I should reconfigure my chain or not. Currently my signal chain is: Wireless -> GT-6B -> Peavey Tour 700 ->Alesis 3630 in the effects loop -> Tour 700. Just wondering if I should reconfigure so that the signal is as...

You serious Clark?!?!? Sell an Iceman? :ninja:

Congrats on the kid!!! Bass/bands/music offer a very unique experience for families & kids. The best thing I was told was to balance time and make sure kids don't suffer due to music or vice versa. I often play Friday/Saturday night gigs & am very tired Sunday morning, but no matter what...
