If you can't be serious or useful, at least be funny. Funny would be good . . .

Fairly straightforward in C, not so much in B, I'm partially disabled so black keys aren't so easy for me.
I still got better chops than a lot of people despite that

Last time I backed out of a gig the organiser kicked me in the balls

I get you, and in some ways I miss being in an original band.
I do some of that above in my cover band. I mostly ignore written parts unless they are really central to the song. We like to make songs our own, to a point
I certainly could never be in one of those tribute bands where every note and patch has to be exact. Also won't be in any band that runs tracks, that'll be my cue to stop gigging once that inevitably becomes ubiquitous (or you can't get compete for gigs with the people running them, this is already here to a point.)Agree totally. I just wish some other members of bands thought like you do. I don't want to do covers I feels it's not where I need to be. I'd do some but a large part of my creativity is original, and doing original material makes me a better player.
Don't get me wrong, I love learning other folks licks but not to the point where it cripples my own originality, and it variably does so.
Don't want to get stuck in with other people's playing, been there, done that.

I would never be in a band that doesn't do its own music, I'd loose my fucking mind in a cover band. I write all my own music, melodies, lyrics - complete songs and if anyone's not on board they can fuck off. I'm not quiting, I'm kicking them out.

I ended up breaking into a music shop and stole a few pedals, had to grab them quick cuz I tripped the alarm. Got 2 vents, really great
-
I should add - the heads on here who are Hammond purists - most of them can't play. Don't know crap about piano or organ.

Just jammed with a kind of makeshift band - we did George Harrison - All those years ago, we did Riders on the Storm, tried some Sheep by Floyd some Supertramp, sounded out all of them with my Voxy-baby. Just fucking around mostly suggested these and we don't sound bad. The EPs are solid.
Did some CX 3 organ stuff and everyone liked it I used VR-09 before, did JGiels, black magic woman

Absolutely. Put a transistor organ through a Leslie, it will sound good, even if you're no fan of transistor organs. The organ on Ton Petty's "Don't DO Me Like That" is a Vox played through a Leslie, and it sounds closer to what you'd think of as a Hammond sound than it does to a Vox.
Good song and sounds great on that track too

Scenes are a Godsend. When I record my original stuff, I do the verse in one scene, the chorus in another, copy and paste where needed, chain the f*ckers together and my song is done. The MODX with that upgrade, bang for the buck, is probably the greatest keyboard anyone's made in decades. You can't improve on it really for the price. The keybed is kind of not great but that's ok. At least it's not as bad as the VR-09 or that Korg monstrosity. The Kross I think.

Sampled or modelled?
Both!
Except with modelled, I need a bucket of KFC with extra gravy

You're right. I took comp sci in school and learned mostly on Java....which I've used all of zero in my job, I mostly use SQL and VB/C#. I couldn't even begin to figure out anything that managed a synth library or MIDI to be honest.

I don't know how you guys do it in that heat down there, I'm in Canada and it's almost 30 celsius and I can't handle it. I need a f*cking glacier to roll around on.

As comforting as that makes one feel I dont think Leslie was too happy.
No especially that wet one in E dorian, fried everything.

I can fart through a Leslie and it sounds good too.

I punched out our bass player and our drummer, and then when the singer tried to intervene, I hit him over the head with a wine bottle. They soon learned not to mess around. To me, being in a band and doing covers is bullshit anyway so they can fuck off.

There is a story (and I don't have time to look it up - sorry) that the band bought Ray a Hammond console later on, but he hardly used it.
He used the Hammond only very little on Morrison Hotel, and a bit more on LA Woman - Texas Radio and on Changeling, he did some pretty cool stuff with the drawbars I recall. It changed their sound quite a bit but was alright.

I’ve covered this song a few times and I’ve decided to ignore that part altogether until I grow a third hand 😝
I was considering using my 'third leg' if you get my drift.

It's true, I know a bass player who can play like Geddy Lee, it's pretty awesome but the problem is, he never stops, it's like an endless solo throughout and entire song. It's pretty annoying cuz he hits clangers from time to time that really don't belong.

I only go to the mall to pick up beer cuz the beer store is there, and there's a NoFrills supermarket so I get chicken fingers there too.

What do they use as a base OS? Some stripped down Linux?
That's exactly what I was wondering, surely it's some flavour of Linux.

I've been using the pattern sequencer they jazzed up on the last update for MODX like a madman, it's pretty awesome, laying down all the bed tracks for the songs I've been writing and it's given them new life. I can't even imagine what other upgrades they could do to it but given chips shortages and all that, if they do another I wouldn't complain. Wouldn't mind if they added a playable Mario Bros. game or Sonic the Hedgehog that would be pretty cool.

My black cat scratched the shit out of my soft bag, the little f*cker.
Song writer or composer?

I write my music & lyrics although admittedly the lyrics need a lot of time to gestate and sometimes get changed/re-arranged and may even end up on a totally different melody. I don't think I'd call myself a composer though.
