then... what's the point???

[aussiechick]

weeeeellll if you buy me a drink......... who knows

[Blues Factory]

Tonight's the night! Hopefully see you there.

[aussiechick]

Even if it is only me - we will have a good time

[aussiechick]

For those of you that missed last night - they will be back.

For those of you who left 'cause it wasn't the "norm" - you missed some great music.

For the ones that stayed and complained about the band loudly and rudely when other people were there for the band - why bother?

The best thing is the Bastards do songs other bands in Pattaya don't do - makes a change to hear a range of songs from a really good rock band that you know the band in the next bar is not going to be doing!!!

Somebody post here please when they come back.

Would make a change from Lam. Love him though I do I thought he was getting a little bit past it last time I saw him. [Oh dear now there's a prompt for some flaming!]

Correct Me if I'm wrong, But, "The Blues Factory" are't you suppose to be promoting "BLUES"!!!

It was an enjoyable experience once they got going.

My partner was keen to leave with many others about half way through their deafening set. Once Nigel? abandoned his drums and sang My Way it took off and we stayed. The crowd who arrived later to hear Lam play definitely improved the atmosphere and the place buzzed.

I don't understand why Dave allows his bands to play at such a dangerous and damaging volume. My partner is still complaining of ringing in the ears now which is 12 hours later. No doubt rock musicians are used to it and have already damaged their hearing irretrievably but many potential customers find such an aural assault painful and unwelcome.

Despite the above, we enjoyed the band and as Aussiechick says they had an unusual for Pattaya repertoire. No hotel California!

Genuine Blues Factory Ear Plugs would make a good addition at the bar.

He's 65 now and yes some nights he gets a bit tired but for the last year or so his health has been great and he can still turn it on despite his age.

Why? Its just a name and it was named before I became part of the place, Blues Factory has had a rock band for 7 years or so now.

As you know they aren't my band so obviously we can't be aware straight away of their levels, I brought them down quite as earlier they were loud but that was down to their levels on stage and the power of the drummer and of course I can't control the guitar amps and the drums, IMO a rock band or live music club should be loudish but agreed not deafening and agreed some aren't used to it but it is a live music club not a lounge bar. I think we got a nice balance half way through though but I too was also surprised at their power on the stage which I have to say isn't always a bad thing, they are used top playing in the Rock Pub and haven't played Blues Factory for over 5 years so it was different.

They will be back in the future and as said themselves the next time they want to revert back to their older style which is more classic rock with Bowie, The Clash etc.

Thanks for coming everyone and thanks for the feedback.
