I saw them back in the day opening for Mott's The Hoople!Rumble pie for me!
I've eaten a few slices of Rumble Pie over the years...Rumble pie for me!
Me tooI've eaten a few slices of Rumble Pie over the years...
Unless Flea showed up unannounced to play with someone, I'd think he'd just have whatever he wanted.My first criteria for membership would be, at the basic level: does the candidate actually OWN a Rumble series amp (either purchased, gifted, traded or pulled from a dumpster)?
Simply showing up at a venue and playing through whatever Rumble amp is provided as backline shouldn't count!
So... Does (did?) Flea actually own the Rumble 500, or was it simply the amp available at the time?
Agreed, but I think that's what's meant, anyway. But ... anyone who gets paid to play music is a pro. That's where I want a definition (of whatever we call it). Lots of people on TalkBass get paid, but if they weren't on TalkBass and don't play locally, we'd never hear of them.I could care less about a celebrity using a Rumble. Adding a section to the Rumble Wiki for 'Pro Musicians' or 'Pro Artists' who use Rumbles would be more interesting IMO.
I was thinking that but maybe Flea just wanted to put himself on equal standing with the band and used the school’s bass amp? I could not dig up specifics about the appearance.Unless Flea showed up unannounced to play with someone, I'd think he'd just have whatever he wanted.
I ... don't need no RumbleRumble pie for me!
I *just* missed getting to see Mott. Never even came close to seeing HP. Dang it.I saw them back in the day opening for Mott's The Hoople!
I ... don't need no Rumble
Not ... in my dessert!
Always loved hearing the “LET’S GET READY TO RUUUMMMBBBLLE!! announcement before every match.

trademarks only apply to adjectives. When you trademark something, you have to note what it's referencing. For example, Kleenex brand tissue. Unless they file a separate trademark for guitar amps (or at least music reproduction), any of us could build, market, and trademark Kleenex brand guitar amps.Yeah, but he has Trademarked that phrase to ensure that others do not use the phrase without permission and to protect his "intellectual property". Since securing the trademark in 1992, he has reportedly earned over $400 million from the use of his catchphrase through licensing deals, including video games, TV shows, movies, and merchandise!![]()

Which agrees with what I said. A trademark applies to a product, service, etc. it’s not universal.From the previously posted link by Michael Kondoudis, Registered Trade Mark Attorney: "A trademark is an exclusive right that a business or individual has to use a name, logo, slogan, or other symbol to identify products and services."
