people who can't spell are gay .. but not in the nice homosexual way .. bitch

cause we all know how you like it in the nice homosexual way.. look its ok man.. don't hide your feelings from us, let it out we won't critisie you

ps im sorry for my spelling errors i don't want to offend the gay community or anything

are you trying to mis-spell things deliberately?

//Bass
The opening riff of the Barney Miller Theme//

Ahhh ... that brings back some fond memories ... great show, brilliant characters.

//this is now the forum for nostalgic memories..

You started the forum, what is 'what was your first...' if it's not nostalgia?

{ps. I suggest you write your posts in a wordprocessor and paste them into the forum cos your cognitive powers don't seem to be up to spelling on your own. Are there too many distractions at school?}

//You started the forum, what is 'what was your first...' if it's not nostalgia?

Of course you would know that nostalgia is a 'feeling' bittersweat etc, as opposed to a memory "the first song I played was..) they are closely related could be interpretted as being the same, but of course are different so I don't quite understand what your trying to convey here.. perhaps i will ask Mr Green and he will help with my literary understanding of your highly heterogeneous question...

That Barney Millar theme's a top line.
So whose the cat that played it? Its not Will Lee, and i cant be arsed going through back-issues of Bass player to find it.
Decoy
Miles Davis

Played it at the "Big Lunch Out", our school concert. It would have been bad.

Did you go to Selwyn???

Ah no, Rangitoto College, probably same idea came to both schools or, more honestly, a Rangi student heard about the Selwyn one and stole the idea.

dirty deeds - acdc and i never really progressed much further, once i discovered power chords i didn't see the point.

I may be disguised quietly under this mysterious turbin but I remember the days in the garage drikin the beers manana!! mmmm and those tasty girls at the skating rink - hahahaha

being 12 & living in rotorua had it's downside - the only music I had access to was dads '80s records... those were dark, dark days.

bass
Point that thing
The Clean (i realised a song doesn't necessarily have to be complicated to be absolutely brilliant. i was very young)

guitar
That brilliant Straightjacket Fits song on No Alternative ... Brittle - i worked out the solo part. on a crappy nylon acoustic geetar. sounded grrreat anyway.

drums
Peter Gunn theme (again, i was very young - a basic groove, but fudge it up anywhere and it's so noticeable. if you don't have the chops to play drums, this song makes it obvious to everyone. and if you get into a surf band that play it for 15 minutes ... a very tough call.)

Guitar
'The Grand Ole Duke of York'

Drums
'Bitter'- Shihad
;)

Bass
The score for a school musical which I can't remember... it will come to me...

Piano
End section of 'Layla'

Disclaimer: I learnt the organ with my Nana. I learnt my first guitar riff from a set of tapes my mum got for me from the Wanganui district library because I was too young to have my own library card. I learnt Layla by ear and it took me ages!!!!

I remember my first riff like it was yesterday.. it went a little like

*chug*...... *CHUG CHUUGG*.... *CHUGCHUGCHUGCHUGCHUGCHUG* *REEOOOWWWWWWW DIDDLEDIDDLEDIDDLE REEOOWWW* *CHUGCHUGCHUGCHUGCHUGCHUG*
