There's nothing to stop you joining us. What do you play ?

Guitar but I'm to far away:(

Drummer never showed up, thanks 1952. Mixd who had also replied to this thread but had dropped out when 1952 eventually let it be known that he was a drummer was good enough and close enough to come along at short notice. It was a good session and we'll do it again.

Keyzer

Good session - most enjoyable after a ****e daye in work.

Nice to meet the guys and play some blues tunes.

I think we are meeting again in 2 weeks time.

Rigsby

Yes. A very enjoyable session. Thanks again to Mixd for turning up on short notice after "1952" let us down. Looking foreward to the next one.

StanDunneCV

Really enjoyed it to lads - hard to find lads who just want to jam the blues...so it was great. Couple of suggestions from me for the next jam...little red rooster (Howlin Wolf) or Superstisious by him aswell...Id love to do a ew of thos peter green numbers too Keyzer! Anyway take care lads, il keep in touch.

freshcream

pity about the drummer, +1 for superstitious +100 for peter green.

nice going lads

Great suggestions Stan. Lets do those Howlin' Wolf numbers next time. As for Peter Greene, how about "If you be my baby" (we touched on it last night). and "Black magic woman" ?


Also maybe we could lower the volume a little next time, as my ears are a little sore today....... even though I was wearing ear plugs.

StanDunneCV

Good call on the volume Rigsby, was a little on the loud side alrite!
I love them songs that you suggested alrite - sure we'll wait and see what everyone thinks and put down some definates soon. Black Magic Woman's a great number too!:)

Delighted you all had a great night. I was worried when I saw an 8 page thread on bands/msicians! I thought you were killing/bumping/no idea really!

Good call - If You Be My Baby and Rollin Man by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac are savage. I have tons of that stuff on my laptop, we can listen next time and picka few tunes to play.

Volume was very loud at the end - I had a pounding headache when I got home :mad:

All in all - twas a good jam.

Thanks Papa

We were all surprised at how the thread just took off. Great that it was a success.

mixd_98

I might have been a bit over 'enthusiastic' on the crash/ride towards the end, my ears were buzzing last night, dont want to be doing that too often, the volume was more like a motorhead gig than a simple blues jam. glad to know it wasnt just me.

Rigsby

mixd_98 wrote: »

Agreed. I think we all just got a bit carried away. We'll tone it down a fair bit for next time.

LOL

kimnjess

My suggestion for next time, Ace Of Spades by Motorhead :pac:

kimnjess

Ok if nobody's biting on the Motorhead suggestion what about Pride and Joy which we had a go at too, or Cold Shot, Mary Had A Little Lamb - SRV,
Going Down - Freddie King, Need Your Love So Bad - Fleetwood Mac???

StanDunneCV

Motorhead....lol!:pac:
Im down for any of the above tunes mentioned, so whoever put together a final list and we can get crackin on them. Love Mary had a little Lamb and that Freddie King number!

Rigsby

I dont mind what numbers we try. They are all good. I have one suggestion though. That we try and have more structure to the songs, i.e. try to perform them as close as possible to the recording chosen, with stops ect.

I know it was just an introductory open jam the other night, but after a while the songs all seemed to sound the same IMO (i.e. on open jam).

Just an opinion.

Fingers Mcginty

I'd love to jam with you guys...Need your love so bad is a top tune...I can play it off to a T and also used to sing it in a band years ago
You should try Tush by The bearded lads....great tune that really gets an audience goin ....Best of luck...let me know when the first gig is on eh?

Agreed - starts and endings should be something we concentrate on in the next jam.

Thanks for that, but we've sussed it already ( see previous few posts ).

General Zod

How ye all.

I'm a bassist who'd be interested in a bit of a blues jam, been playing for a few years now. Would love to come along to the next jam if ye'll have me.

I'm in a blues band already, and we cover a lot of the songs I was jamming with these guys. So I'm going to stand down and hand over the bass duties to you.

So lads..... "General Zod" is now the new bassist in "The Fat Blues Band"


Congratulations !!

General Zod

Is that like some sort of mafia kiss of death?

It's what ever you want it to be "General"

Keyzer wrote: »

Yes.

I enjoyed the jam, but I think it'd be better for me to put my time and energy into learning and perfecting the band's songs.

I wish you all the best of luck with the band.

Fair enough - all the best with the band.

Zod - you defo in?

StanDunneCV

Thats a pity rigsby, thanks for comin to the jam all the same.
Welcom to Zod, you in man?
SO wats the final list of tunes to learn? for the next jam?
Workin on starts and finishes too! put some polish on it!

I can come along and jam with ye, I have another band on the go at the minute, but always on the look out for oppertunities to play.

kimnjess

Just seeing this now Rigsby, that's a pity but best of luck with the band.

Zod are you definitely on for this if you have commitments with another band? We've already been let down by a drummer.

As for songs what about:

Thrill is gone
La Grange
Crossroads
Have you ever loved a woman
If you be my baby
Black Magic Woman
Supersticious
Pride and joy
Need your love so bad

We don't have to do all of these but we could choose from among these and spend some time trying to get a few right.

Also what day suits everyone? What about Tuesday 24th?

StanDunneCV

Yup those songs sound good to me man, Im in agreement anyway.
Tuesday 24th suits too...same place?

General Zod

I'm not trying to let you down, in fact I'm being upfront about it all. I'm happy to jam with you as you need a bassist, but I can't say I'm able to commit full time. If you can find someone to play full time then great, I'm just offering my help until such a time as you have someone who can commit fully.

Unfortunately, Mon- Weds isn't great for me (work/other commitments) thursdays I can manage.

mixd_98

Tuesday or Thursday is good with me. Just to let you know I was in the 108 pub in Rathgar last saturday night, they run kind of a blues/rock night upstairs, anyway got talking to the guy who runs the place, I told him about our little project and he said we could come and play if we had 5 songs together. I know its probably a little premature at this stage but would be good craic all the same, its not quite the Wembley stadium, there only was about 50/60 punters there at the time. Anyway i told him i might be in touch at some stage.

mremanuelepisu

for me its ok the 24..
can i have the tones of the songs please..
thanks

Sounds good - we can look at playing something there in the near future when we nail 5-6 songs.

Zod - all we need is someone reliable, we're not going on a world tour any time soon so a jam every two weeks and then and perhaps a gig or two. Howya fixed?

mremanuelepisu

ok keyzer, great to know that you can play in any key..:)
now,
can someone tell me the correct key of each song please,
many thanks

General Zod

Sounds fine with me

Hi guys. I'm a drummer based in D.24 . I'm 30 with 20+ years experience. Interested in all styles of music but love good old 4/4 rock.

I have an electric kit and a monster pearl kit for bigger gigs but believe in the less is more philosophy.

If you're interested in organising a jam send me a P.M.

mremanuelepisu

thanks keyzer,
next 24 febr. at what time?
cheers
