Damn... didn't even know the guy had cancer?!

 

:(

 

I think it was common knowledge when Tom was diagnosed with melanoma 3 years ago, but it was thought Tom was given the all clear after surgery. Tragically, this wasn't the case and he had been living with it ever since. That fucking cunt of a disease claims another life. :( RIP Tom.

I might be able to convince the missus. She enjoyed the last one we went to despite complaining it was "a bit loud". It's more that I'll have to fly over and spend a day knocking around Manchester, then an overnighter before flying back. It'll drag. I have a few pals around Manchester but alas it's on a work day so they won't be able to come into the city. 

 

Just seeing if anyone else is going really.  I saw them on the Earth Rocker tour and they were brilliant, as were their support.  I'm not sure the support has been announced yet.

Played a strange gig at the weekend.

 

It was in a small pub in Cambridgeshire with one of my covers bands. We do classic metal and hard rock - the likes of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, that sort of thing. Power trio.

 

Our bass player came along to the gig and set up her gear but wasn't feeling well enough to play, so the guitarist and I had to muddle through. He split his guitar signal through an octave pedal, to give a sort of simulation of a bass, and we played a vaguely passable first set.

 

At half time we checked on the bassist and she was still no better. By this point we were struggling for songs that would still sound OK as a two-piece (basically you're restricted to songs without a lot of guitar solos.)

 

So we're a couple of songs into the second half and someone from the audience comes over. He says he's a drummer and says if I can play bass, he could sit in on drums.

 

Now, anyone who has played in a pub band knows that when someone in the audience asks if they can play, it's usually a good idea to say no. So even though we're in a bit of a bind, the guitarist and I are a bit hesitant.

 

Then he says "My name's Dave Mackintosh. I used to play for Dragonforce." And I'm like "yeah, fair enough, all yours!"

 

Fortunately I do also play bass, and the bass guitar was already set up. We managed a decent set of crowd-pleasers and the audience loved it.

 

It was a lot of fun. Nice to hear my kit from the front, especially being played by a pro.

 

He hung around afterwards as well, and somehow even ended up thanking us for letting him play!

 

Spoiler

The set we played with Dave, as far as I can remember it, was something like this:

 

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Queen - Tie Your Mother Down
The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Neil Young - Rocking In The Free World
Ozzy Osbourne - Mr Crowley
Iron Maiden - Can I Play With Madness
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer
Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll
AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie
Free - All Right Now
Black Sabbath - Children Of The Grave
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O'Mine

 

Might have been one or two others. It's a bit of a blur because I'd never played any of these songs on bass before, and I had to sing backing vocals as well.

 

Wish I had a video.

I've not posted here for a while.

 

The new Twelve Foot Ninja album is really good.

 

 

 

Thank you for posting this. I think I've found my new favourite band. Really love what I hear. They remind me of a bit of Shaolin Death Squad if they had djent elements in their songs.

Loving that new Ghost cut.

 

And, Nathan Wind, definitely don't miss out on a gig just because you'll be going on your own!  I'm in Manchester as well and would have missed out on so many good shows otherwise. Rebellion in town is a great venue (saw Anaal Nathrakh there last weekend) and small or big, always bands playing in Manchester or nearby. Will let you know if I can make the Clutch show.
