Hiram K Hackenbacker commented on Kirsty Pollock's blog post Pain and Pleasure"As a guitar god I would say try drop D or an open tuning to make things easier."
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Toby Burton's discussion A visitor to the website sent me this: A very British problem?"Personally speaking I love to discover new music and would much rather go to see a band that plays their own material than a covers band."
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Toby Burton's discussion Do you care about how you look on stage and in band photos?"Agreed, it's all an act after all, and if your up on stage you may as well make the most of it.

Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Pocket Rocket's discussion New Year's Musical Resolutions"I resolve to actually learn all songs properly before going on stage, instead of making it up as I go along."
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Toby Burton's discussion Do you care about how you look on stage and in band photos?"I always try to ensure that my underpants are clearly visible above my trouser waist band."
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Jimmy Hargreaves's discussion Individual effects pedals or pedalboard?"My view is that individual pedals are a better choice as they can be more precisely tailored to your requirements and additionally you will have to pay an awful lot of cash for a programmable multi effect if you want a half decent one, and you may…"
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Kirsty Pollock's discussion So why do people seem to think that 3 hours of live music is not worth the price of a pint?"I was thinking about what makes me want to go to see a band play live and it seems to me that what's needed is some kind of entertainment value beyond playing a few songs, a kind of novelty factor. If you are a covers band then the chosen set…"
Hiram K Hackenbacker commented on martin tappenden's blog post First ever gig last night."Great stuff. I know a few folk who can play well but just won't take the plunge into live performance, if only they knew what they were missing."
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Paul Santilli's discussion What can we do together? in the group South East Musicians"There are a few venues around that do open mic nights, perhaps that's a way forward."
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Kirsty Pollock's discussion So why do people seem to think that 3 hours of live music is not worth the price of a pint?"Perhaps a bit of reverse psychology would do the trick. Charge £6 for the ticket and offer a free beer. If people think they are getting something free it often helps;-)"
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to MUSIC NEWS's discussion South East Venues: The Star Inn, Guildford, Surrey in the group South East Musicians"I like The Star and can often be found supping a pint there. The stage area is well equipped but not acoustically brilliant, too many hard surfaces, but a popular venue for local and not so local bands. Well worth checking out if you are around…"
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Kirsty Pollock's discussion So why do people seem to think that 3 hours of live music is not worth the price of a pint?"I feel even more sorry for the support band, they were really good and only had an audience of about 10 people. Must've wondered why they turned up."
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Toby Burton's discussion Guilty Musical Pleasures"I quite like anything by the Barry Gray Orchestra"
Hiram K Hackenbacker replied to Kirsty Pollock's discussion So why do people seem to think that 3 hours of live music is not worth the price of a pint?"Well I think it was worth three quid of anyone's money. I think the problem is that folk who are out on the Saturday night razz are generally moving about and probably want to come in for half an hour or so's entertainment then move to the…"
