I can play pretty heavy but I don't play double kick so we'd need to work around that.
Double kick is a huge investment of time to get up and running smoothly and I decided I wasn't going to use it enough.
What did you have in mind?

Count me in

Vibetronic · March 2020

I'm up for some shredding heaviness too!

MagicPigDetective · March 2020

Dunno......I'm not suggesting super heavy downtuned double kick stuff, just something that grooves and rocks hard with solo opportunities? We could stretch to dropped d maybe? I loved playing Iron man last year, and I have been thinking about War Pigs, but, Sabbath songs tend to lend themselves to one guitar player, perhaps I should suggest songs that are better suited to two guitars. Someone has to be able to sing it though. Would Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer be too much? It's one of their slow numbers, no double kicks, in Eb but could be played in standard. A good vehicle for some Vibetronic shred action. Will get my thinking cap on.

Good work mate. So the venue and the drummers are sorted, guess it's time to start a new thread for song nominations

Brocco · March 2020

do we have anyone in the discussion who is a dedicated bass player?

I play more bass than anything else, but in my experience of these things, lots of people want to have a try on bass so I'd just leave it open for people to sign up.

Not tellin'.

Brocco · March 2020

We did Congregation (Foos) at a recent northern jam, which is pretty fun on bass.

I'm sure @mrkb wouldn't mind another crack, and the drums are pretty tasty too for @octatonic to get his teeth into

Yep, I’m up for doing that again, solos good for someone to take on as well.

Yeah that is no problem.

mrkb · March 2020

I fancy trying a version of Personal Jesus, that’s got a bouncy baseline.

Yes, definitely.

Mr Big by Free also has some great bass lines - may try to learn that one!

No fear of that.

For heavy how about Godzilla, either the Blue Oyster Cult or Fu Manchu version. Well, they're the same but different speeds and keys

I was actually thinking of suggesting Asphalt Risin by Fu Manchu. Just listened to Godzilla sounds cool. Anything like this, yes.

nickp · March 2020

To confirm as at 11 March funds received from

@spark240 for him, @Bernie ;; and @nickos236 ;;
@MagicPigDetective ;;
@clarkefan ;;
@roberty ;;
@mrkb ;;
@stratman3142 ;
@Vibetronic ; - as long as you are Ben S ???

I will also pay which makes the 10 to break even on the studio

This I think agrees with @Brocco list

Howdy, Stranger!
