Spoonie Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Friday: Went fir dinner with a load of teammates at the Chairlady's house. Great banter and played Cluedo for the first time in years. Dy-no-mite board game.Saturday: Went to the dandies semi with a load of mates. Sent torrents of drunken abuse to my gf who was in the Hibs end with her junkie Hibbee scum mates. Disppointing game. Went and got burst and played hunners darts after. Caught up with ex-Aberdeen Music superstar Jamesy Weapon for the eveningSunday: American football training. Was cut short when one of our receivers got creamed and ended up with a second elbow half way down his forearm. Both bones broken. Need operated on and pinned. Op is this morning so hope it went well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Friday - went out after work with a huge bunch of workmates to this wanky club where loads of orange people danced to the Black Eyed Peas or whatever. I sat out the back in the smoking bit most of the night with a bunch of stoned black guys and got royally drunk.Saturday - Got up in time to watch that shitty football match, then spent the afternoon trundling around middle-aged heaven, aka Homebase, buying, among other things, a pedal bin, a toilet seat, some compost, a hanging basket, plant pots, some hooks and a garden gnome. Had a chinese in front of the telly in the evening.Sunday - Cleaned the house all afternoon, fucked around in a big shopping mall for a while then played some guitar then played some XBox in the evening. Quiet weekend likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I like the idea of cover bands. Especially if you hire them for a do. Imagine being able to make a mix cd, but have it played live? Pick and choose which songs you want as well. Decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Just a general statement really.For what it's worth:cover bands >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> tribute bands >>>>>>>>> NEW2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>U2I disagree. I prefer a proper tribute act who work on sounding like the band they are paying tribut to much more than a boozey pub rock cover band who just churn out popular rock songs for hours on end. They are pretty much a very expensive jukebox, but worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Bullshit, i play in an "expensive jukebox", we put have put a shit load of work into what we have done over the years, i find that pretty insulting to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Fuck no - a covers band at least just plays other bands songs (which can be fun to both listen to and to take part in). A tribute band TRY TO BE another band, down to hairstyles, putting on a voice to sound like the lead singer etc. Mental, and ridiculous.I have spent a good half hour trying to work out who is the biggest dick - Bono, or someone whose job it is to pretend to be Bono. It's a tough call, but I can reveal that the bigger dickhead is Bono himself. Because, well...he's Bono innit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you put in a bit of work to learn other peoples songs, but those types of pub rock bands are essentially playing a selection of songs people want to hear. The description is quite apt in my opinion, which I'm entitled to... I'm not saying cover bands are a bad thing, I just have little interest in hearing an Oasis song one minute and then a Guns and Roses song the next. Whereas I wouldn't go see a tribute band unless it was a band paying tribute to a band I really like and probably won't ever get to see again, and if they do it well, then it is pretty awesome.Then again, I'd rather go watch/listen to a proper band who do their own thing above all else.

paime Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Fly back from Norway on Saturday, spend the rest of Saturday drinking myself into a stupour and then i have to go to Perth on Sunday to watch my girlfriend do some horse-riding competition nonsense.My company doesn't acknowledge local holidays (we get them in lieu) so i'll be back to work in Aberdeen on Monday before travelling back to Norway on Wednesday for more fun and games. Yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I hate tribute bands. One of my best mates, and the guy I learned my musical craft alongside, plays in Abbamania.He fucking loves it, secretly (he's on the right). That's just the best picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
