Hope you had a good Saturday bumbag. Missed crazy one here :D
Whoever said about webdesign had a point y'know. If you did code that yourself that is. Step away from the bass an get a proper job :D ( I suppose you're the one guy who can't really get THAT speech).
Suppose I'll go back to "modernizing" my site.

I only found out about it when i walked into my form room and my history teacher was playing it respectably loud through the dvd player in the classroo. he's a cool guy.
I'm pretty bored at the moment, just playing along to Jeremy by Pearl Jam on my bass, its such an amazing song i love it!!
What's your favourite New Order song Jack? and do you play along to any? Good luck with the Band mate..maybe we'll get 2 Hookys banging out great tunes eh
My fave song by NO? now that's well hard for me to say cos i like so many, but I think im gonna go for....love vigilantes. love the lyrics and the melodica and the bass n guitar riffs, and barney's little solo bit is the best bit for me.
I can play loooooaaads of NO songs, the only ones i can't play are the ones that have like little or no bass in, like world or ruined in a day etc... but I can play all the others really.
Awwww man my dad is so cool he said my band can start using our basement which is like done up and nice as a practise place!! woohoo! That's gonna be well good. Well as soon as we get a first gig opportunity I'll post it on here, hope to see you all there. Even you Campbell. 
What he meant to ask was, what are your top 3 Black Sabbath tunes?
I'm going to start an all-bass all-the-time thread on BCD so we can tackle the big issues facing humanity. C'mon over bassheads.

You've never had a northern irish heckler then? We're very very good. Still best to start with a real challenge, in terms of kicking the legs out from under hecklers you've a tougher act to follow than even bassmanship. Tell you what mate, a comfortable rehearsal space makes all the difference, doubly so if it happens to have a wee vocal PA for the singer. Beats the crap out of a bedroom/living room no matter how well specced :)
Well you know you've got ONE gig open to you...NOOLday. But I can see a gobby wee bugger having no bass in the PA at his current rate of gobshitery :D:D
(Jack's sitting there thinking, "no worries, I think I know where I can put my hands on a bass amp that will lay waste to your PA paddy!")
Of course...someone Good might come along betwen now and then, and I can just get on with seeing how much trouble me and Jemma can cause ;)
PS: your selection of NO tracks you can play...LOL you , me, and every other bass player on this site :) (and yer also right about LV being a really classy bit of Barney) EDIT: BTW I don't mean "ah you're shite, we can all play those" I mean, no one else bothers with Hookyless tracks either :D
i gotta say i do like world though, and ruined in a day is brilliant when you're feeling down or just generally in a mood.
i am playing along to metallica at the moment, thats a bit off topic, but hey there u go. love metallica.
jack, off topic's a relative term round here.
i sinned regarding metalica, I let my personal feelings about them put me off their music. Not to say I don't still drag old "pullin teeth" out now and then to marvel at the late great Cliff.
And yeah those NO tunes are good, excellent, but just no point in learning them :)
Actually, the tune of their's I play around with most is either DNE or The Happy One, which is actually quite tricky with chords and stuff......love it but....especially seeing the old boy doing it on Tony's show, just him, the machines and his bass. Do remember muttering something about "how come nothing blew up, went out of tune or other wise sucked? this may be the key to good NO gigs, send Hooky on his own"
If you aint seen it, lemme know I'll webserve it for ya (quality is ugly)
come back and tell us that when your post count's in 3 figures.
You'll think we're all perfectly OK by then.
"ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US"
Cliff Burton was amazing. Pulling Teeth is just too good to talk about on here, the guy was a legend.
Metallica are one of my fave bands for sure, definitely in my top 5 bands anyway, i can play a lot of their stuff, my band do a great cover of For Whom The Bell Tolls, check it out if you haven't heard it man it rocks especially the high bass intro.

You ever listen to Primus? Very silly, and some truly odd bass styles like basically treating it like a big banjo, among ither daftnesses. Not all their music is great tho. get's a bit like J**z, just showing off. Some of it's awesome tho. I know the track yer talkin bout BTW, but will need to relisten cos it's been a long time.
Only 3 MB....very good.
Ahhh, there's that show! I used to have it on my computer, and somehow it went missing.
Files like to skitter away from me.
Primus, RHCP, me putting on Clapton and zoning out during school (when they didn't mind a Walkman brought into class). I've fallen more and more into funk lately just trying to absorb all of the fat, chunky and melodic tones that so many people were experimenting with.
I'm having a slow Sunday. My brain hasn't cranked to full speed yet. *Model T windup brain engine*
Yo Melly. That email addy in your post actually work? I have something to show you, it's big and pink and you'll like it (chorus of OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH from surrounding pervs)
Jack, old chap, Melly and the ahem "ladies" and I would like to know how errrr "Mrs Jack" feels about Barney...I'm sort of assuming her hormones haven't gone totally wrong yet unlike this lot, so she'll probably shriek and smack you when you ask.
Jack....bassplayer thread on Behind Closed Doors mate....vote for the sins you've committed...i'm boned big time according to the list! :)
Before you head over there I'd like to tell you it's quite safe, that no one bites and no one is quite as insane as they appear. Sadly I am not that good a liar.
May the force be with you and all that!
BUT...the question is do I want to go behind closed doors with you? 
What are you talking about "Mrs Jack" and Barney? Have missed something?
It's not me you need to worry about, it's yer man Gnu Odor (no, actually, most people go nuts over there) :)
We were just wondering if Mrs Jack (ie your GF) would like to be one of Barney's Angels?
Hmmmmm, I don't think Barney is really her type, I know she likes Johnny Depp and the singer out of a band called The Used who is called Bert, but who knows, maybe she is a closet barney's angel 
aww this bass is sweet, the BB1200S man it's so good to play

That's just a deliberate wind-up ya bugger :) EDIT... actually the coolest bass owned by anyone on here is Samantha Chapman's :)
And as for the mrs, that's Ok, we had to check (but I'd worry about any woman who fancies a guy called Bert)
certainly takes some doing.....espially if he's using heavy strings.
Bet he's been showing off his slap-happiness and pulled a bit too hard :D Either that or he should stop using a stanley knife blade as a pick.
