the old guy

Uhh...MY name is Corndog ya dope! Actually it's Rev. Corndog ever since I became a member of the Universal Life Church. Goog it.It's free. Cheers...

Very simply Flea knows his shit.Period.All those years of playing Funkadelic tunes or that punk shit he's in to. In L.A. if ya ain't got a "show" ya ain't goin' nowhere. Vive la wank! Show boatin' don't get ya no where but sunk! Cheers..Corndog.

It's funny you use the term "walking" 'cause I can't do that shit fer the life of me!What I did was more of the melodic style of bass playing like the 80's players did.The walking style came from those jazz cats that knew their shit,know what I'm sayin'? Just play what ya like and don't worry 'bout what the bass-owners in the Bass-Owner magazines say.They're wankers anyway! P.S. Learn yer Duran Duran...Trust me...It helps.No kiddin'. Cheers...Corndog.

Alabama...Wynona's big brown beaver. Any of that crazy triplet shit that I did... Steve Harris Any melodic bass stuff...Graham Maby f/ Joe Jacksons early stuff.Or Sting fer christ's sake! The way you play is directly connected to what you listen to. I play rockabilly guitar now and I STILL play like a bass player. Just keep playin' and stop worrying about it.At least you're not a god damned D.J!!!! Cheers...Geoff

First of all yer right,it is moms fault... Second, Dave's a good guy and a very talented musician so stop slaggin' the guy fer Petes sake...jeez.

At least he's still got all his!Mine went south years ago...thanks dad! ;)

Actually,Dave used to be a long hair...hard to picture but...

The "B" in "MGB" was,like I said,just the three of us guys sitting in a room playing music along to Matts ideas.We all put our 2 cents in, Dave for sure,aranging and all,so as far as I'm conserned Matt's just doing what Matt does.Write songs. With or without the "B" he's still Matt Good.No matter which musician he plays with,as long as they share the "vision" it's all still pure music at this point. Every musician wants to share a message with who'll ever listen so you can feel better about yourself at the end of the day.Knowing other people share your view and the reason you were put on this planet is comforting to say the least.

Funny thing is, when I left Dave wanted to talk to me one-on-one to be 100% SURE I knew what I was doing. Truth is I wasn't.But at the time I had to be in a different "space".Not because I hated the guys or the music or anything like that,I could just sence the impending tension and I knew I just couldn't stay sane or musical with that hangin' over our heads. So I bailed knowing that Matt could get some fresh blood and a new perspective in the band and everthing we did to make MGB succesful could continue. No more stinky ol' van!

O.M.G. That almost made me cry...who am I kiddin'... Good times.

Ummm...what's a pictureblog...I'm new. And where can I find it?

I have no regrets. Only new challenges...and a lot of 'splainin' to do!

My wife and I are playing in a rock-a-billy band called "The Slickjacks". We're still in the "4-track-drum-machine" stage but it's comin' along.I'm playing guitar poorly and she's rippin' it up on up-rite! As for Matt ,I haven't seen him for AGES!Guess he's been busy though.Hope he ain't holdin' a grudge...I ain't. It's been a long time.

I AM THE OLD GUY! I just turned 38 and I'm still acting like I just turned 15!that's why I married Lissafurr...she's the only one who'll put up with my shinanigans! And I still have the same "hair-cut"!

...and true if my brain ain't broke from years of too many db's. Man, we were LOUD!

Rico was writen while we were doing drum tracks for Underdogs. We turned off the Playstation,went down to the studio and cut it.That quick.Prolific doesn't even start to describe the man. I think we did that song in 2-3 takes.

No, I didn't mean it that way.I mean, you get four guys in a room that are all gifted musicians and one happenens to have the gift to write incredible songs,the others just follow along.I was just doing my job as a bass player and hopefully adding some umph where needed.I don't think I wrote squat except the bass riff in Indestructable which Ian and I were jamming on before Matt showed up for rehearsal.He WROTE the song,I just jammed the part with Ian.Without Matt writing a song around it {in less than 24 hr's,I might add}the riff would be nothing but another riff that no one would have heard.Ever. Sorry for coming off as a cocky S.O.B. Cheers...

Please,do tell...

In the imortal words of Dr. Nick Riviera... "HI EVERYBODY!" Damn, that was stupid.Yeah,it's me.I get self indulgent once in a while...and we finally got a computer...so there!

Matt's a songwriter I'm just the "bass-owner".That's the way it is in a lot of bands.The rhythm section are just janitors. Or so it seems.Aw crap,I'm just bitter....ROFLOL!

It gets weirder but I'll spare the details.LOL. Cheers...Geoff

O.M.G.!All I remember was sittin' in the office of the rehearsal studio that I ran {Matt rehearsed there}and gettin' a phone call from Matt,from Alberta, sayin' he just fired his whole band and would I play w/him and find a drummer.I walked down the hall,knocked on a door and asked Ian to step out fer a sec. He was playin' w/ a band called "The Spiders" {the guitar player was the best man at my wedding 3 yrs ago BTW}and told him about the gig.He said he'd think about it an' get back to me.Well, you know the rest...LOTGA was born.And awayyyyy we go!

Thank you.

Actually,Maverick is sorta right. I was sick of touring 'cause all I wanted to do was build guitars at that point.That's kinda hard to do in a tour bus ya know! I got married to Lissafurr {ex JP5 bassist}moved to Ottawa and worked at Lauzon's Music as manager, got sick of that and moved back to Van and hooked up with my friend Tonybigchops {ex Motorama}. Lis,him and I are starting up Metrosonic Guitars this summer. And I have seen Dave a few times and spoken to Ian on the phone.We're still friends.... Cheers Geoff.."The old guy".
