This nostalgia is getting old.

Im happy to see these sounds arrive but can also see why you feel that way...What would you like to see next?

Virtual Aretha, type in the words, draw some swoopy lines, out come the vocals.

Audience simulator, settings from "loving it" to "downright hostile".

I’ve got a recording of an old band I was in. We only did one gig - turned up to find we weren’t the support after all but the main item, a bass player we’d never met in drag with an inflated condom tied to his bass, no drummer, and all feeling very disconnected after a week away in a bus with no food, no sleep, and only acid for breakfast. We played Hawkwind’s ‘Master of the Universe’ seven times until we were bottled off. Great recorded audience chants of “fuck off - fuck off - fuck off etc.” I can sample it if you fancy.

See, I thought you would have shared the time you played a gig with Aretha during her skinhead phase..

First, hastily arranged performance after Strawb's Last Bus Home disbanded on stage (which they did every time), some dive of a club in Epping, one dirge that I had made, half another punk band and my best mate trying to ad-lib through it. Looked up from my guitar to see a line of skins kicking their legs up like an end of the pier dance troupe while simultaneously zieg heiling us along to the racket, total chaos. No recordings exist, which is a relief.

The manager jumped on stage and pulled our leads out - but comedy style we put them back in as he moved to the next person. We called it a day though as it was getting dangerous. Years later, I was in a pub when this hippy guy walked up to me. ‘Were you in that band **** at the Roundacre?’ He asked. Yeah, I replied, expecting a punch in the face. ‘That was the best gig I’ve ever seen’ he said, all starry eyed. You just can’t help some people.

Skinheads - we had a rehearsal once in the bar in a country club. Looking like a cross between Roy Woods Wizzard and Faust, we spent the next two hours playing a loose rendition of Hillage’s Rainbow Dome track. The bass player used an ashtray instead of a plectrum.

Anyway, we soon became aware of loud shouts, and a battering of the locked doors between us and the main bar, as around a hundred very angry skinheads tried to reach the source of the offending hippy dirge.

We stashed the gear quickly in the van via the back yard door, and got away just in time as the bar doors gave way. Unfortunately one of our crew couldn’t fit in. “We’ll be back soon” we lied as he disappeared under a hail of boots and fists....

Just to avoid confusion...
It doesn’t show up as a GB update.
Open GB, add a Drums track, select More Sounds, and download the new drums from the Store. I guess it’s a Store, even though everything is free.

These are going to be fun to use in the Beat Sequencer.

Thank you.

Followed this to the word ... can't see a "store" tab !!??

When you create a song or add a track, go to this tab:

Then you will be able to see those packs and download them

Nope :-( don't get those options when I click on more sounds !? Is it cause I'm still on iOS 11

Don’t click on more sounds in drum, but just swipe tabs where you have all instruments (drums, strings, bass, drummer, etc), it is between keyboards and Audio units / IAA tabs. You have to download it here first to see it drums sounds.

Nope ! Not on iPhone ...Maybe it's iPad only. I'll try iPAd tonight.

That’s odd, I’ve downloaded them on my iPhone 7 Plus no issues. Perhaps those ones are only for latest GB update and iOS12...

Yes turned out I needed iOS 12.1. Don't want that on iPhone. Updated iPad and the vintage pack became available.

Oohhhh!!..... Is there anymore stories?.... I was enjoying the memories..... Reminds me of the things that happened to my dad when he was in a band in Croydon, in the 60’s....
