What do they do? That might be a stupid question, but I have never known what a slide guitarist does.

slide guitar or slide blues gutar is a specific way of playing guitar by use of a metal or glass cylinder on either your third or fourth finger. usually in conjunction with finger picking or regular picking. the guitar is usually tuned to an open chord, i.e. E, D, G, or A. This is delta style, delta being from Mississippi Delta

The White Stripes "ead Letter". And harmonica too.

its called 'death letter' . its a very old blues song. the stones covered it once, a while ago. its a great song, and its really hard to play live, jack uses a slide. its tough work!

I'v always thougt that they covered only One Cup Of Coffee, Stop Breaking Down and I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

mimmihopps: colincarrot, the thread is still active, but you do need to log in to access to the thread as it's in Sound & Vision board. Hope it helps. Sept 24, 2024 4:26:30 GMT -5 *

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: Why has the banner gone black? Oct 11, 2024 12:36:27 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Halloween theme I reckon bonehead's barber Oct 13, 2024 14:08:59 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Well my Halloween theory might not have been true... I wish the banner came back in its original form
