Crap, I'll probably never live this down now. Go ahead, change your signatures...

By the way, Horsie, I just changed my profile pic so you can make fun of me now.

You: in your Momma's closet with a cheap guitar.

Me: playing a gig with a Nord Electro 2 and a Roland XV-88. Note the Fender 12 string and Eric Johnson Signature Strat right behind me.

Jason Becker (Jessica will agree)
Freddie mercury
John Bonham
John Entwhistle
Janis Joplin

The man lost it.
Oh, did I mention the Christmas-hymns cd he made last year?![/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, scary! I read an review about one of his castle shows a while ago, before the show starts he told his manager to not let anybody with a Rainbow or Deep Purple Shirt in. If he see only one in the audience with that on, he will cancel the show.
Another one who is one foot from the grave - Michael Schenker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vmo_ePVGGI
Reminds me a bit of Tommy Bolin's last shows..really sad!
[/QUOTE]

don't think he lost it...think him and Gillan just hated each other...the rest all seem to get on with both of em. Blackmore was extremely quiet...
this encore shows the band breaking up...in Birmingham 93 - they have their backs to each other for most of the song
Blackmore doesn't even stick around, he says his goodbyes and let the egotistical c**t hog the limelight... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bHdaktZPt0[/QUOTE]

If you think that the rest of the group didn't mind, you should watch the Come Hell Or High Water DVD. Ian Paice said that Blackmore was a pain to live with at times.

I didn't. I compared him to Eddie. Can't you read?

Stick to the kitchen and cook many meals, just don't talk about music because you haven't even figured out what it's all about.[/QUOTE]

I made $200 playing a two hour set last Saturday. And that was a discounted rate.

I got a website, and not a free myspace account, a legitimate "www." website.

I was a semi-finalist at the 1997 Van Cliburn competition in Dallas, Texas.

How much do you make from that stupid little picture of you playing a wanna be Eddie guitar in your picture?

Dammit, scoreboarded again. I should really stop doing this, but you're almost as fun as Treasure Moment.

Almost.[/QUOTE]You said that I would probably think that Steve Lukather was a crappy guitarist just like I think that Jimmy Page is. Ergo, you're comparing the two of them like saying that they have alike levels of technical ability on the guitar whatsoever, so if I didn't like one, I probably wouldn't like the other either.


You might have the most expensive shit on earth, that doesn't make you a good musician at all. My guitar is cheap? Maybe, but also remember that one of the most famous guitars in the fucking world was even cheaper and I'm talking about Eddie's guitar, who is one of the best guitar players to ever live. Remember too that Brian's guitar is made out of junk.

I bet you didn't know that as you sorta point out that you're better than me because you have a roland keyboard and ej's signature strat, so as the great musician you are for having expensive equipment, you can't be posting on a website about a band whose guitarist plays a piece of junk, can you?


I don't have a band right now but that day I played on the streets (a week ago), some guy came to me and asked me if he could take a pic with me and he said that he hoped that he could play like me someday. I might not have earned money but some guy that didn't know me and didn't mean to listen to me, said that he admired me. I guess that's quite a bigger achievement to an artist than just earning some bucks.



Scoreboard: ?

"Scoreboard"? That's SO childish. You think you "win" or beat me because you have more expensive instruments. You think you know more about music than me because you have a Tom Petty shirt and he won some awards, so according to you, he must be a great artist. You think you are a better musician because you had a gig last saturday and you earned money. You're sadness itself put into a lame bag of rotten flesh and bones, mixed with sour dog cum.


Give up, Macrogay. Please read what you write and try to see the incredibly stupid things you write and how stunningly idiot you are. And tell your parents that their grown up son spends his time discussing on the internet with a "kid in his momma's closet with a cheap guitar" and he feels he's so great and amazing that he's kicking the kid's ass. So they'll regret having you and beg God for his eternal divine forgiveness.


I'm sure it is not their fault that you're such a moron.

It's usually only from the outside looking in that you realise just how ridiculous this kind of discussion is.

Discounting the musical ignorance on one side and the impending gig at Shea stadium on the other side... couldn't you guys learn to be a little happier? Granted, a musician can't be too happy otherwise every song he writes winds up being about his Yoko.
But you know - it costs nothing to laugh. Why don't you find something to agree on? ie. Zebonka is a dick. Come on!!

You're right Zeb, I was in a funny mood yesterday, toying with that child.

I must be missing Kurt Cobain.

I'd bring back Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison just to watch them fade into obscurity.

hahaha

Freddie Mercury
John Lennon
Jim Morrison
Jimi Hendrix
Janis Joplin


Yeah. I love. Them all. :D :D

1. Freddie Mercury
2. John Lennon
3. Bob Marley
4. Jan Werner Danielsen 
5. Marius Müller

Robert Plant.

What ever happened to that guy.........

Many artists.

I would say the following that wouldn`t be much different:
Freddie Mercury
John Lennon
George Harrison
Marc Bolan
and our dear John Deacon who, as said above about another artist, is as silent as a fish.

yma sumac
ofra haza
freddie mercury
layne staley
janis joplin
JM
andrew wood

in no particular order of preference

SRV
Lennon
Harrison
Freddie
Ian Curtis

and maybe Kurt Cobain. Just to sell him some more heroin so he dies again (but not without killing Cuntney first - how punk).
