though it's preferable if you polish your sausage off at home, either before or after the fest...
and you can polish it as fast as you want....
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Gear fest AK?????

So what's the deal with these things. So I'm a newb, but sounds like fun... I couldn't play much, but enjoy stomping on things. :)
Larrivee 00 Acoustic. FAV Strat for electric. Ibanez SDGR5 for bass. Push for Ableton. When not doing that, 3D CAD for tunnels...

I had one here at Jansen a short time ago for the bassplayer forum we put on beer and pizza it was on a week night from 5:30 till 9:30ish we set up a bunch of Markbass amps around the premisis and let people do whatever they wanted

Could do one for NZG if there was interest ?

Far from it, it was awesome.

Not a cheesy carbon copy, a few corny nods but well done all round IMO.

8.5/10 in my book. YMMV.

I thought it was kinda rad too. Bit of cheese at times and some of the action was way the hell over the top but that was to be expected.

I'd give it a 7.

haha, of coarse! its the friggin A-Team... wouldn't be right without a glass and a half of cheesy over-the-top-ness :)

i think it's success is due to it only being a TINY bit that way. Everything in moderation, including moderation, etc.
