If given the choice between a firing squad and working for Geert Wilders at a salary of $100 000,- an hour, I'll take the firing squad.

he had a nice little trip to London and back today, didnt get to see or say much though due to the fact his arse was swiftly put back on the plane and sent packing.he got a shit load of publicity though as no one in the UK had heard of him or his sodding film until then and then Sky News didnt shut up about him afterwards,giving him exactly what he was after..publicity.

Wilders was sent back to his native country. Oh, the irony!

The BNP will thank the British government for the help. Great diplomatic victory for stupidity. It was illegal under EU law to reject and arrest  Wilders, the Dutch foreign minister was forced to protest against the illegal action. All supporters of Wilders and his likes will now feel justified in their opinion that the Western democracies are giving up their values for fear of Islamistic terror.

It's not illegal. They (Britain) have the right to refuse any non-British citizen entry if they have a reason. It's debatable whether they made the right choice, but they did certainly have the right. They have denied entry to a number of Muslim fundamentalists these last few years, so they were just being consistent by rejecting an extremist from the other camp, but it did give him free publicity.

Having said that, Wilders, given the chance, would be quite willing to risk a civil war just to get media exposure. His success in the polls just goes to show how much of the electorate is too stupid to use their votes sensibly. That puts "holy democracy" in a new perspective...Hitler, Mugabe and Wilders: democratically elected, and a danger to their own people and others.

Apart from the use of the harmonic minor's major seventh, I don't really hear the similarity, I'll have to admit. Interesting nonetheless. I hadn't heard this song before, but I quite like it. A slight tinge of Irish traditional with a harmonic minor melody.

I was meaning the sax solo right at the end on Will You, which for once isnt overplayed just like the sax isnt in your song. This is a problem I have with some guitar players. Guys like Malmsteen, etc are technically gifted, but try singing their solo's back and you invariably end up sounding like a demented idiot having a fit. Your sax solo is singable and thats what I like about it.

Oh, I see! There was me looking for similarities from bar one onwards,
and missing the big picture. I see what you mean about guitar-solos.
You'll agree with Miles Davis, who said that the problem with guitar
players is that "they always want to play too many notes" (of course,
he was generalizing, but he wouldn't be Miles Davis if he didn't).

I don't object to any fast, complex solo ("Child In Time" features my
all-time favorite guitar solo), but there is a tendency to only mind
the speed when constructing solos, which I believe is a mistake. The
main reason, I think, is that, if your technique is good, playing fast
solos is actually easier, because you don't have to pay too much
attention to intonation, and because it looks cool to see a guy running
his fingers up and down the neck at light speed.

Still, frenetic music isn't the only way, and slow- to mid tempo solos
that are more melodic are often a lot more pleasant to listen to, which
brings us to a problem troubling music since the earliest notated
music, namely that composers and performers get lost in the written
notes and lose sight of the fact that the audience is listening to the
audible result, not the analysis on paper.

The irony indeed.
A country that refuses people for their opinion...
Must be a wet dream for Wilders himself.

Much as I enjoy having a go at this fanatic...can we get back on topic? :P

Sure, I guess this is an Alink production? :P

That sounds nice :)
Reminded me a little bit of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. And no, I don't know if you used the same scale or whatever, but a couple of licks sound like some of the stuff played by the saxophonist on that song. :P

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :P
