Done with 2 less people than the latest 'official' version.

Would have been better if the singer had blacked up though... :)

Hey Badguy, sounds pretty fucking good. Keep on rocking!

Mr Badguy
02-04-2011, 12:49 PM
Sesh, I am the singer.

I'm black enough, thanks!

Cheers, guys.

Is that a decent place to play?

Rock clubs down there used to have a pretty rough reputation back in the olden times.

wow. I'm surprised it's not a marching band and Nigel Cyril Badguy has tattoo.

There are a few good pubs on the west coast for live bands.

Not a lot of trouble really, the punters enjoy it.

Next one is 18th Feb in Fanny's in Kilmarnock.

Good metal pub.

Good job . The dude nailed the solo quite well too.
Baddy, I bet you could sing the fuck out of Motorhead! :baaa:

Thanks for sharing!

Mr Badguy
02-05-2011, 07:34 AM
Thanks, man.

"Stay Clean" is in the set.

Mostly all Maiden, Scorpions, Lizzy, AC/DC, Van Halen and Ozzy.

Keeping the Metal alive!

Kids today!

Their hair looks weird.
They have no respect.
Their music is just noise.

Here is "Bark at the moon" from our gig on Friday night!

ELVIS
02-20-2011, 04:29 PM
The main riff is wrong...I played it like that when I was 16...

Dude, those vocals are...ummm...interesting...

I like the Hey - - - Yeah - - - Bark at the moon.


Hahaha...:biggrin:

ELVIS
02-20-2011, 04:31 PM
Nice Ric though...

I have a mid '80s midnight blue lefty 4001 with black hardware...

Cato
02-20-2011, 04:44 PM
are you always wearing the same t-shirt Mr B?

I have a mid '80s black 4003 with chrome hardware...

oh yes. ELVIS is rude as usual.

ELVIS
02-20-2011, 04:53 PM
Shaddup before I break out the Jap jokes...:biggrin:

Mr Badguy
02-20-2011, 05:04 PM
Hey, come on, Elvis, Ozzy never had to play the bass while he sang it.

And yes, Cato, I have one T shirt.

Later I took it off but noone wants to see that.

:D

Oh please enlighten us oh Crown Prince of the Bedroom Guitarists. :)

You mean the last three chords I take it.

It's near enough and a pretty good effort I thought.

Zack Wylde made a pretty good living not being able to play it note perfect for many years.

Seshmeister
02-20-2011, 05:24 PM
Jesus I just reminded myself of how much I fucking hate Zack Wylde...

Mr Badguy
02-20-2011, 05:25 PM
No, I totally understand.

I used to sit and watch Jake play Randy's stuff and get pissed when he played it all wrong.

The good thing is that the general public know jack shit!

They only care whether they like something or not, and on Friday the joint was rockin'.

Is your drummer on Valium? He looks so relaxed.

Kristy

He's also not a bad looking guy.

Drummers have big hard sticks and pound with rythm.

I always thought it was needlessly cruel to make the word rhythm so difficult to spell for those people.

Seshmeister
02-20-2011, 11:59 PM

Wondering about why he annoys me so much I think it is that he is so fucking crude.

It's like the Rothism of how you play music you don't work it.

I guess it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for his illustrious predecessors.

Seshmeister
02-21-2011, 12:02 AM

We should try and set you guys up.

With his cheery disposition he could lighten your mood...

Seshmeister

I do the same but not in earshot.

A few months ago I was watching a bar band where the guy was doing a Steve Vai song pretty much note for note and it came to a bit and I said 'watch now he will fuck this bit up. He can't do it. No way. SEE. I told you. Hah. Fucking idiot.'

I said all this without being able to play the rest of it half as well as he had done and I was being a dickhead. I guess the difference is that I would never ever have been so rude as to say it to his face. When you post on the internet that is what you are doing but without the balls basically.

ELVIS

This site especially...:biggrin:

That is one of the reasons I am not into playing covers. People hold you to the standard of whether or not you can play it exactly like the original. Whereas if you are playing your own originals, they have nothing to compare it to.

Not a thing wrong with being a covers band though. You have 100 years worth of music to choose from for your setlist, and you can choose to play nothing but Top 10 singles if you want, which the audience will love if you can do them well enough.

One of my closest friends is a monster fucking musician. Incredible guitarist, with a voice that resembles a cross between Ronnie James Dio, and the original singer for Nazareth as he sounded in their heyday in the 70s. And he is a fucking encyclopedia of rock, metal and pop music from the early 1960s to the present.

When he writes originals, they are good songs.

But he just prefers to play his favorite music, which is mostly classic hard rock stuff, and he makes a living at it. Does not work a day job. He is not making a fortune, but he is playing several nights a week, at least 50 weeks a year, and has been for the past 20 years. Before that, he worked assorted day jobs, but he has been playing in bands since about 1980 or so. I met him in 1982, and within a few years we got to be best of friends.

Too bad he never made it big, though he had a couple of producers fly him out to L.A. and recorded some demos in a studio back in the early 90s. The typical "We're gonna make you a star, kid!" type story, where they were letting him stay at some mansion in Beverly Hills. In this case, the two producers ended up having some kind of falling out, and nothing ever came of it.
So he just went back to the hometown and picked up where he left off. Has been doing it ever since.

Badguy, sounds pretty good. Guitarist did fine also. You gotsa good band. Keep kicking ass! :D

Mr Badguy
02-21-2011, 07:42 AM
Thanks, guys.

We ain't giving up our day jobs.

We're just a bunch of guys who love playing our old favourites, for fun.

Elvis, I'll save you a front row seat when we hit the Superdome! :D

most of the musical braggarts I've known once you get them plugged in they sound like a six year old with downs syndrome.
You probably sang Moon with a c anyway.

Rock on BG. A singing bass player's a great combination.

ELVIS
02-22-2011, 11:44 AM
I know who you sound like vocally, Badguy...

Wendy O!!!



That's not a bad thing...

In my lifetime, there have been two women on tv that scared the crap out of me. The first was Eartha Kitt whe she played Catwoman on Batman in the sixties, and the second was Wendy O. Williams appearing on SCTV sometime in the eighties.

That's it, Elvis.

"Bump and grind" is going in the set.

I don't care how uncomfortable it makes the guys in the audience feel.

:D

Mr Badguy
02-27-2011, 05:49 AM
"Phantom of the Opera", "Run to the hills", "The number of the Beast", "Flight of Icarus" and "The Trooper" have all been in the set at various points.

Mr Badguy
02-27-2011, 09:14 AM
Aha! Got one.

ELVIS
02-27-2011, 10:42 AM
Should I watch ??

Just kidding...:biggrin:

And you need some regular exercise...

If you didn't sound so out of breath your vocals might really sound pretty good...with a bit of echo thrown in...

Maybe you two can start a regimen at the gym...and quit smoking...


BTW, excellent outro solo (from the cool looking dude) right before the failed Tarzan™ yelp...


:biggrin:

Regular exercise plus a strict diet of plain foods, in bed by 8:30 PM, sworn celibacy, a donation of 10% of your gross income to charity, and no alcohol or drugs. :biggrin:

ELVIS
02-27-2011, 02:03 PM
That too...

And no more Tarzan™ yelps...


:elvis:

Mr Badguy
02-27-2011, 02:15 PM
Aw, come on, Elvis.

That's the only point in the set I get to do a TARZAN yelp.

LMAO, Heavy Metal is so much fun to play and sing.

Diamondjimi
02-27-2011, 02:31 PM
Good stuff Baddy. Love the classic Metal you guys play. Great tunes to get pissed to...:biggrin:


Still waiting for Elvis to post anything he's done........

Seshmeister
02-27-2011, 03:03 PM
The terrible problem with the Icarus story of course is that as he got higher and closer to the sun he would have got colder...

I haven't heard that song in years, is there a Tarzan™ yelp in the original? :)

You should play this song!



You might be able to pull off some David Wayne!

I love that song...

Good point, Sesh.

The lyrics are crap anyway and don't really tell any kind of story.

There is a big scream thing at the end, but I always have fun with it and do something ridiculous.
