Solos for SOBER DAVE AND THE SNOWMEN

2011-12-12T09:28:00.000-08:00

Just been recording some solos for the SOBER DAVE AND THE SNOWMEN christmas sillyness.

All went pretty well I think, but waiting to hear back from Mr Sober about how well it all meshes together.

I'm quite looking forward to hearing how it all comes out now, and I think I need to sort out a better "Home Studio" than cluttering up the spare bedroom sittling around with a PODxt and headphones plugged in to my lap top. I'm going to have to start building decent home set up to play about with...

It was nice to get out the Cherry Burst LAG RF1000. Last time I played it live, PISTOL KIXX broke up on stage, but this time it was a bit less stressful.

I must finally pay for REAPER, it's all working so well and so easily, I actually feel guilty every time I press "Still Evaluating."

New live video...

2011-09-11T09:00:00.000-07:00

We played our first THE SOHO COBRAS show in a while on Friday.

We haven't gigged for a few months so it was cool to get out and play, especially somewhere cool like St Moritz in Soho.

I've never played there before so it was great to finally get a chance.

It was good to see my JCA20H handling a small gig easily, even just running through a 1x12 cab.

We have a few more gigs lined up now, so it's time to rehearse and add some new tunes to the live show.

Watch this space!

(yet) Another new toy...

2011-06-30T09:14:00.000-07:00

I've just got my hands on an absolutely beautiful TAYLOR T-5.

This is definitely going to be my last new guitar for a while, because I have been treating myself to a few to many goodies lately, but I was offered it at a price I could not refuse.

I really got lucky with this, since if I had the choice of any colour, this would have been what I'd have gone for and even the case is cool.

There is a tiny ding on the front of the guitar which on a top end guitar like this knocked a lot of the second hand asking price, but I can't even get the mark to show up in photos so I'm not bothered by it at all and anyway, I bought this to play not hang on the wall and look at :-)

I just cannot say enough good things about this.

The build and feel are just amazing.

As an acoustic guitar it sounds fantastic, lovely very natural acoustic sound and it's surprisingly good in electric mode as well. It's not a compromised half way house, it really is a great acoustic guitar AND an electric guitar.

It plays well, I can get acoustic sounds and play all THE SOHO COBRAS solos on the same guitar.

Just phenomenal!

OK, waffle over, here are some more pics!

Another Roxane....

2011-05-12T05:32:00.000-07:00

My addiction to obscure French made guitars continues...

Thanks to my good friend MAX who finally buckled and sold me his beautiful LAG ROXANNE VINTAGE.

It's 10 years old and has the old two "N" spelling.

French made LAG number 5 for my collection!

I'd seen his pics of it maybe a year ago and I've been nagging him to let me have it since.

I guess it finally got a bit much and the deal was done!

A guitar shaped parcel arrived for me at work a few days ago, and I'm still full of new guitar joy!

I think that's going to be it guitar purchase wise or a while, but I have enough of a guitar-harem to not be too bothered if I have to gig the same ones for a while.

Here she is!

NEW ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC...

2011-05-05T17:02:00.000-07:00

The subject just about says it all...

Not a lot been going on lately. We just had the first THE SOHO COBRAS gig with Charlie on vocals (Video to follow) but I'm moving house and that has kept me busy. I have a new place sorted which will mean there will be a lot more space and being able to leave my gear set up will mean that there'll be a lot of videos and stuff on the way.

Watch this space.

I have finally invested in a decent Electro-acoustic. My recent Miyavi obsession and a few looming acoustic gigs meant I had to really.

I tried quite a few but I finally opted for a Yamaha APX900.

It's tuned to D and getting the shit, miyavi-slapped out of it, right now. I am just so impressed with it. It sounds great acoustically, especially when you consider that it's a small bodied acoustic with a cutaway, but plugged in, in is just amazing.

It's also just thin enough that I can play it behind my head and it's black!

EIGHTBALL VOODOO

2011-03-17T17:31:00.000-07:00

I've been recording some guitars at home for another EIGHTBALL VOODOO Track. I'm very new to recording my own demos. I usually just defer to somebody who likes fiddling with computers, but this time I thought it was time to bite the bullet and do it myself. So armed with a copy of REAPER and my very battered PODxt I got it done!

This did remind me that I hadn't mentioned EIGHTBALL VOODOO here yet, so here goes:

At the moment, the band is an online collaboration. We are going to be playing live once we have an ep together and with band members in London, Australia and South Africa that opens up a lot of possibilities for some foreign guitar toting adventures!

I'd always bean a fan of Jay's voice, well filthy snarl since I'd seen him perform with JACK VIPER so I was really excited when he asked if I wanted to provide some guitars!

We've demoed one track already, "The Devil's Country" which was a reworking off an old PUREDECAY tune. (I've just added the demo to the player on my blog.) There was only ever one PUREDECAY gig, so I'm really pleased that some of the material is getting a second life. Plus there are a bunch more tunes coming shortly.

Eightball voodoo was formed in 2010 by Jay R, the former lead singer and award winning frontman of leading U.K sleaze rockers, JackViper. Jay has recruited the rest of the band of talented rockers from around the world. The low slung guitar attack is led by Rob Silver of The Soho Cobras and formerly of Pistol Kixx and Deangersmith, legendary South African guitarist who has played with numerous important bands from the South African rock/metal scene and more recently the British heavy metal band Mouthful of Flies. Bringing massive thundering metal style drumming is Ralph Margo formerly of Misericord and now also with South African metalheads, Boneyard.
Between them they have logged up multiple releases, soundtracks, hundreds of live shows, radio and television appearances, magazine, newspaper and webzine features and much more!
Proudly sleaze rock with a liberal injection of metal and a dash of punk, Eightball Voodoo create an urgent contempary style. Throw Sunset strip rock, Jack Daniels, gritty real life lyrics, fuck you attitude and gasoline into a mixer and throw in a match and you get Eightball Voodoo.
The Voodoo rockers are here to take the scene by the throat and make sleaze vital for the new generation. Get ready to have your hearts and minds infected by the sleaze rock apocalypse that is EIGHTBALL VOODOO...

ACOUSTIC DEMOS

2011-03-08T18:08:00.000-08:00

Just a quick note to say that I've just added a couple of acoustic demos to the player down the side of the blog.

We are recording some proper studio recording thanks to the studio skills of Mr SOBERDAVE but we were having an acoustic run through, and just thought, "why not."

So using the advance home recording trick of getting my video camera, pointing it at a wall then ripping the audio off later we recorded a few "campfire" versions of some tunes and had a run through provisional arrangements of two new tracks: "Like a Drug" and "Stained Tattoo."

I was really pleased with how they sounded and I was glad to have a chance to let everyone hear Charlie, so I've put them online so you can all have a listen.

Right now, they are tracks 1-5 on the media player on the right hand side of this site.

Our first gig has been booked as well this week, so it's good news all round. It's a little way off yet, so we're hoping to book another show before then.

More news as we get closer to the date.

Badges and Plectrums and stuff...

2011-02-28T15:50:00.000-08:00

In anticipation of THE SOHO COBRAS getting out and playing live again soon, I finally ordered some more ROB SILVER plectrums.

They turned up this morning and I've been smiling all day.

Clearly personalised pieces of plastic really shouldn't make me this happy, but they do. I just can't wait to get some gigs booked and start throwing them at people.

I also got a huge bag of THE SOHO COBRAS badges, which we will be giving away at our shows over the next few months.

The plectrums came in four colours, so have quite a bit of variety now!

There were only two badge designs, but more will follow I'm sure.

In other news...

Rehearsals with Charlie are going really well, we're starting to book some gigs now, so live dates will follow shortly. We've also started recording vocals for some new demos that should all be sorted shortly thanks to the production skills of Mr Sober Dave.

Here's a very hungover Charlie recoding vocals last Sunday in her finest Dennis the Menace jumper.

I also got around to watching my 20th aniversary DVD re-release of SHOCK EM DEAD now available to buy at SHOCKEMDEADMOVIE.COM.

This is probably my second favourite 80's metal horror movie after TRICK OR TREAT. It's awful, but get's a lot of bonus points for excessive breast shots and Michael Angelo Batio playing one of those guitars, that's like a double guitar with plastic horns stuck on his head.

Good times.

New Toys...

2011-02-20T14:23:00.000-08:00

I've invested in a few new toys over the last couple of weeks.

My tired old pedal board will have a few new additions once I have a few hours to play with them all! :-)

A couple of my new acquisitions will be for home use only I think, but my new Digitech Whammy Pedal will find a new home with me live. I'm looking forward to doing hands free dive bombs live.

I'm holding off on changing anything else though because of the imminent arrival of the JET CITY AMPLIFICATION JCA22H, the new 2 channel version of my glorious JCA20H valve head.

So in no particular order, I'm very happy to be goofing around with:

A BOSS RC50 LOOPER

A DIGITECH WHAMMY PEDAL

and I have finally bought my own cab. I got the JCA12S to match my head.

THE SOHO COBRAS... Rehearsal with the new line-up going really well

2011-02-20T12:17:00.000-08:00

Rehearsals with Charlie, the new singer are going really well.

We've only rehearsed three times and I think I would happily gig tomorrow if one was offered.

I think we're probably going to wait a few more weeks before booking some shows though. We've already got a new song sorted. I'm especially happy that the new tune is using some of Charlie's lyrics. Writing seems to be going really with Charlie as a wing-man. We have another few songs that we're playing around with, so I think we'll give it another few weeks to get those sorted, since it would be cool to relaunch the live band with a few new tunes under our belts.

All is very good...

Gigs coming soon :-)

THE SOHO COBRAS have a new singer

2011-01-23T15:07:00.000-08:00

We've been out of action for a while. We tried playing live a few times with me on vocals and guitar which was not great, and Dave had a go (which we just don't talk about. EVER) but after a test run on acoustic and then rehearsal today, I'm glad to anounce that we have a new singer.

I can finally breathe a huge sigh of relief because I hated mutil-tasking and to be honest... I'm just not very good at singing anyway so I really didn't want have to do it myself. More inportantly though I think even if I had been better, I always felt we lost something performance wise having the singer trapped being a microphone. There's just no running around when you sing and play guitar at the same time.

I guess we'll be rehearsing for a month or so, then booking shows again which I am really looking forward to. It's just been too long since I got to play guitar behind my head in front of a room full of strangers! :-)

So I'm very pleased to welcome Charlie Thaine to THE SOHO COBRAS

I can't wait to be playing live again, so watch this space for gigs.

Been offline for a while...

2011-01-19T12:56:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the untimely death of my laptop, updates have been a bit thin on the ground, but i'm getting a new one in a few days so expect a pile of new guitar stuff.

The covers gig went really well, but the bloody camera ran out of battery half a song in, so there's no video, which sucks, because I rocked! Rehearsals start for the next covers gig next week though. It's going to be really fun, and we're even playing a Winger song! :-)

I have been recording for a new band though. EIGHTBALL VOODOO is an online collaboration between a few geographically displaced sleaze heads...

I had a little smile on my face today because we got a little mention on the mighty sleazeroxx.com!

Eightball voodoo was formed in 2010 by Jay R, the former lead singer and award winning frontman of leading U.K sleaze rockers, JackViper.

Charity covers gig...

2010-11-02T17:16:00.000-07:00

Just a quick note to say November 6th I'll be playing a charity covers gig...

We've got a load of people from a bunch of bands to form a bunch of covers bands doing themed sets

It's been a bit of a squeeze learning a load of tunes in a very short time, and to be fair, most of them aren't ready, but we're going to do it any way!

That's the all action crazy kinda guys we are

Set list was a bit of a stickcing point, and we lost two weeks arguing about what to play leaving just two weeks to learn them all, but it'll go something like this:

SET LIST.

"Talk Dirty To ME" by Poison
"Suckerpunch" by The Wildhearts
"Living On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi
" Dead Ringer For Love" by Meatloaf
"Kickstart My Heart" by Motley Crue
"Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row
"We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister
"Crazy Crazy Nights" by KISS

It's going to be soooooo much fun!

I'm going to video the whole thing, and some of the video may get online depending on how funny/proficient we are.
Some of the video may never be spoken of again!

SIMPLE RIGHT HAND PICKING EXERCISES FOR GUITAR

2010-10-11T11:51:00.000-07:00

Just a quick update to post some simple right hand picking drills.

The drills in the widget below should help you work on right hand picking speed and technique. Your left hand is pretty much on holiday in them so you can isolate the right hand and work on that.

Remember to use a metronome and start slow. If you don't have a metronome there are loads of free ones online.

My personal choice is METRONOMEONLINE.COM but have a google and find one you like.

As always, you can preview it in the widget below and print them off from here just by clicking the "print" button. If you do want to download the files and view them offline you will need to sign in to scribd.com which you can do with your facebook user id and password, but if you don't have one you can sign up for a scribd account which you can do HERE just click on the "Sign up" link on the right hand side of the bar at the top of the page. It's FREE and takes about two minutes, plus there is a bunch of cool guitar stuff on there so I'd recommend doing it anyway. If however you can't be arsed, then you can save the HYPERLINK and view them for free online anytime you want without signing up for anything.

SINGER WANTED...

2010-08-24T07:42:00.000-07:00

The search for a new singer continues...

We're looking for somebody to join our punk, sleaze rock and guitar solo fueled travelling hangover machine.

Dave and I had a go, and it was OK, but I really think we lose something having the singer permanently trapped behind a guitar. So we're going to carry on looking for a while and see if we can find a strong front man or front woman.

Worst case scenario, we're not going to go on hold for a year looking for somebody who can sing and isn't a total cock, but I think we'll give it a month or two before we start playing again and I have to do it, just so we can get out and make some noise. Lot's of gigs waiting and I'm getting tired of turning them down right now.

We're looking for somebody with a good voice and a lot of stage presence. We are equal opportunity sleaze fiends though, so we're happy to audition male or female singers, they just have to not be shit, and be exuberant attention seeking lunatics... but in a good way.

Previous live experience preferred but not essential.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in trying out then please pass on my email address:

rob@rob-silver.com

And tell them to say hi.

If you want some tracks/links to show anyone who might be interested then depending on where you're reading this, you should be able to hear all the tracks in the media player on the right hand side of my blog, but if you're reading this after it's RSS'd into somewhere else like facebook, then click here:
rob-silver.com

There is a lot of live video there as well over the last few pages, but if you want to see loads in one place then just hit youtube and search for "the soho cobras"
There will be loads!

Another post in praise of my JCA20H...

2010-07-19T04:04:00.000-07:00

Just a quick post...

I just played my first gig using my Jet City Amplification JCA20H where it wasn't mic'd up.

A lot of people have been asking my how it stand up volume wise to live drums and how useful it would be for small gigs without being mic'd through a PA so I've thrown together a quick compilation from the video of the show of a few solos so you can hear it next to a full live band in a small venue.

All my previous gigs with it had been through a PA which worked great but this was the first time it had to stand on it's own as it were. It has been working fine at rehearsals without any help from a PA so I was sure it would cool and it did work out really well, it sounded great and was plenty loud enough to play a small or medium sized venue on it's own I think.

I just cannot recomend one of these highly enough.

Any how, enough waffle, here's the video:
JCA20H demo: Live solo clips, un-mic'd with a full band.

HAZEL has decided to leave the band...

2010-07-15T11:28:00.000-07:00

Not a lot else to report, our fearless gin-fueled front woman has decided to leave the band.

Her voice, stage presence, mid solo gin pouring and shoulder climbing antics will be sorely missed.

I wish her luck with what ever she does in the future.

In the short term, Sober Dave and I will be singing. So far this has been working out OK.

We both sing so we're not cancelling any shows. I'm kind of in two minds myself as to whether we should just go with that option, or find a new singer.
I sing OK, and Dave has a good punk voice and has sung lead vocals before so I'm not worried about how it will sound, but I do think we do lose something when the singer(s) are trapped holding guitars. For now anyway, Dave will be doing most of the singing and I'll be doing one or two tracks.

We have placed a few adverts looking for a new singer, but I guess we're not really in a hurry to fill the slot. If somebody amazing comes along, then that'll be cool, but if they don't, I'm quite happy for things to carry on as a four-piece.

If you know of anyone male or female who would like to try out, then get in touch.

In the mean time here's some footage off Hazel drinking gin of the floor :-)

HAZEL DRINKS GIN OFF THE FLOOR...

Great gig and a solo with Hazel on my shoulders... Pics and video

2010-05-31T08:29:00.000-07:00

We had a great show at THE WHEATSHEAF in Oxford on Friday.

It was a great night of drunken guitar driven fun. I really enjoyed the show, there were a lot a friends down for it, and unlike the last gig there, no technical problems.

Nikki Q came down and got some great live shots of us, you can check out her work HERE or have a look at the gallery of shots of us from the show here:

THE SOHO COBRAS live at THE WHEATSHEAF, Oxford (28/05/10)

Holly got some video done as well, including me playing a solo with Hazel sitting on my shoulders. It did take a me a bit by surprise, but I guess it's nice to be spontaneous and keep me on my toes. The acrobatics start at about 2' 30"

TRIADS AND CHORD SCALES FOR GUITAR

2010-05-23T12:41:00.000-07:00

Finally a lesson on chords!

I found a bunch of notes I wrote out when I was maybe 19 and fumbling through working out all this stuff from magazine articles and a huge pile of books. I couldn't be arsed to redo them all in nice crisp digital versions, so I've just scanned it all in.

I have added a little bit of additional theory to make sure you understand exactly what it is I'm waffling about, not too much though, the scans were hige files and kept crashing word for me. I'm sure it will all make sense once you start actually playing the shapes though. The chord scales have been mapped out in Major only, but if you want to know what chords make up the chord scales for Melodic and Harmonic Minor the you can find that information in these scale revision sheets:

HARMONIC MINOR
MELODIC MINOR

CHROMATIC SCALES FOR THE GUITAR

2010-05-17T16:28:00.000-07:00

I haven't put up any guitar stuff for a while, so here's a little something.

This is a little hand out that shows you several different figurings of the chromatic scale for the guitar. There are 3 note, 4 note and 5 note version as well as diagrams showing the scale all over the neck expressed as intervals and as scale degrees.

The 3 note per string ones are especially funky because as Paul Gilbert pointed out in one of his videos, you can use that fingering to play all you standard 3 note per string sequences within the chromatic scale. It'll sound horrible but glorious :-)

THE SOHO COBRAS Live shots and our first promo pics

2010-05-11T16:42:00.000-07:00

As I've already ranted, we had a really great show on Saturday at AQUANET at South of the Border. It was fantastic night of gin fueled fun.

First surprise of the night, Colin unveiled THE SOHO COBRAS printed bass drum skin; Very fucking sexy.

While we were there we had a few cool live shots taken by Gareth Thomas, so a big thank you to him.

We also had a few promo shots done by Hannah Thomas, so again a big thank you to her for making us look so rock n roll, if not quite as good as she made Hazel look.

There are a few examples of each here for your viewing pleasure:

PROMO SHOTS FIRST...

NOW SOME LIVE SHOTS.

...and finally a big thank you to Shady Dave of Shred-reviews.co.uk for featuring our track "BOYZ NIGHT OUT" and it's sweep-tastic solo in his LATEST UPDATE.

Live at South of the Border 08/05/10

2010-05-11T10:31:00.000-07:00

We had a great gig on Saturday. It was THE SOHO COBRAS live at AQUANET a new 80's rock themed night on Old Street.

It was a cool venue, Mexican themed and under a Mexican restaurant. We had some band pics done as well since the place looked so cool, some of these will follow but for now it's just live and carnage related video.

The was a lot of waiting around because we were the only band on. We hit the stage at about 11 o'clock so we had a few beers under our belts, maybe too many but it was so much fun it just didn't matter. Hazel was getting bought a LOT of drinks while she was on stage so if she wasn't drunk when we started she was when we finished :-)

I guess the "highlight" of the night was Hazel getting dared to drink spilled gin off the stage... and doing it!
Video of that and some music below:

Live at THE WHITE SWAN 24/04/10 and Dickie gets a new tattoo

2010-04-26T17:32:00.000-07:00

We just had a gig at THE WHITE SWAN in Aylesbury. It was an unusual show. We had booked it before Hazel joined the band and it turned out that she was having to jet off, well car and ferry off to Belgium because of work on the day of the gig.

It was only a small pub gig so rather than cancel, I stepped in to sing for one show. I was a bit unsure about it, but I thought fuck it, give it a go. I had been singing at rehearsals while we were looking for a singer, so I knew I could "sing" but doing it live while playing the guitar was another thing!

In the end it was OK I guess, I really had fun doing it and it was in tune, but not a great vocal performance. I guess my rhythm playing suffered quite a bit. I think I rely on seeing the guitar neck a bit too much and looking at the video, I can see that I need to work on making sure that I my mouth is pointing at the mic when I shout in it! An interesting learning experience, but I'll be very glad to have hazel back where she belongs for the next one.

So so vocals aside it was a great night with excellent performances from THE INFAMOUS and FOREVER VENDETTA.

It was also my second gig with my JET CITY AMPLIFICATION JCA20H and I used my LAG ROXANE RF1000 for the first time since I played it at the gig where PISTOL KIXX broke up live on stage!
Here's a quick collection of excerpts from solos so you can here the JCA20H live on a guitar with P-90's

Jet City Amplification, JCA20H. Another live demo

And here are 2 tracks from the gig:

HERE AGAIN By THE SOHO COBRAS (Rob Silver filling in on vocals)

BLACK HEART By THE SOHO COBRAS (Rob Silver filling in on vocals)

In other news, Dickie got "I *HEART* Colin Vipurs" tattooed on his arse for a bet... well he says it was a bet, but there's no smoke without fire if you ask me...

Who would have thought Dickie had a thing for drummers.

This is a lesson to anyone who get's drunk around tattoo equipment!

DON'T DO IT

See you all at AQUANET on May 8th!
