I briefly considered changing my band moniker after hearing this sad news, but, I've decided I'm not going to.

My favorite Sean Connery story was about how he beat-up notorious mafia tough guy, Johnny Stompanato.

Stompanato showed-up one day on the set of a film that his wife, Lana Turner was making with Connery. He was convinced she and Sean were having an affair, and the possessive mobster demanded to have a word with him. Connery soon appeared, asking what all the fuss was about, and when he did, Stompanato pulled a gun on him. Connery took the gun out of his hand, nearly broke Stompanato's wrist in the process, and coldcocked him over the head with it. :LOL:

See, told ye Sean was an absolute legend. :LOL:

Also, that story just speaks to the "Nae fear" mentality that most Scotsmen have. Someone pulls oot a weapon n' threatens us n' oor response isn't: "Aww, fuck! Am probably gonnae die here". Naw, we're like: "Ha! Whit ye gonnae dae wi' that? Mon then...!!"

Man, I really like that one, Graeme. Hold onto it. (y)
Oh, I intend to, don't you worry... ๐Ÿ˜

Not bad for an idea I just improvised and put together within the space of an hour before getting muh dinner, eh?

I spent about 10 minute playing that initially riff afore ah got brave n' looked away from the fretboard while playing it. ๐Ÿ˜†

At least, it's coherent...

Ah say that because, when I initially listened back after recording, I thought that I'd slightly fucked up at the 30 second mark. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I probably should've waited until I'd at least got a bigger following on the platform, but, anyway, I recently added a PayPal.me link to my SoundCloud account.

It's likely I'll get fuck all, since I refuse to buy my SoundCloud followers.

So, I think I've somewhat of an idea how to expand upon that guitar riff ah came up with recently.

And... I decided to join Repost Exchange and Repost by SoundCloud, which mean I can build my following, get more listeners, and get paid whenever one of tracks gets played. ๐Ÿ˜ (y)

Holy frickin' crap... what an absolutely mental few days it's been.

It's been quite a week for me, to say the least... ๐Ÿ˜ Above is the interaction I've had on my SoundCloud since joining this website.

Also, regarding this guitar riff idea: https://soundcloud.com/song-connery%2Fyet-another-guitar-riff-idea
I got these comments:SoundCloud.JPG
Both are accurate since ah wus going for an 80's vibe. And y'know... I did unintentionally rip-off Van Halen with realising.

The Van Halen comparision is quite humbling, given that I don't think my playing is even on a par with the late great, legendary Eddie Van Halen
