Saying goodbye to one of my bands....

[Fusionbear]

Earlier this year, we decided to let go of a band that has been playing together since 1983. We started this band as a side project to play Rock, hard rock, punk, and thrash covers. Each one of us had our main bands going on and this was just a side thing. We played pretty consistently throughout the years. I took a break from 1996 to 2006.

The band: H8TORADE

This is the last recorded gig. We had guests that night as we celebrated my bandmate Joey's birthday. We don't rehearse. We just pick songs and go for it live. We are all now 60+ and my bandmates have had to scale down due to spouse health issues, personal health issues, and also taking care or elderly parents.

It was a good run throughout the years.

R.I.P....

Sorry to hear that Carl. Since 1983? That's a helluva run brother!!!

 

[Mike Oxhuge]

Hell of a run indeed. Congratulations on making it so long.

Yep, this was an idea hatched by me and the drummer. We recruited different players throughout the years. The drummer, myself, and the other guitarist with the cap are the OG members...

We lost the OG singer to diabetes over 10 years ago.... he was awesome! RiP Marc Anthony Delpapa!

Eh, you ain't leaving much behind. Find some dudes and do the more progressive stuff you do.

 

[romanianreaper]

Good stuff! Live music and that band bonding is what it's all about. I'm going to try to play as long as I can but being in a punk influenced rock band at 56 is not getting easier, lol.

Quitters




j/k! that was a hell of a run. You should start planning to get together for a 50th anniversary show

How much would you charge to build a simple 50w 2 6l6 Bassman clone

Aww man, nice of you to consider me, I'm not building amps for people anymore. Focusing on playing out as much as I can now.

Here is one of my last builds that I ended up buying back. It is simple but sounds and feels amazing!

It is the pinnacle of my building skills...

A JTM45/100. The only deviation from the stock circuit is 32uf and 32uf in the B+3 and B+4 node and two KT88S instead of four KT66'S.

 

[Alpha Stryke]

Sounds like you had a good run.

 

[70 Mach 1]

You all Sound great.
Nice and tight, great tone and vocals
