Let's spread some musical misinformation

I hate to answer a question with a question, but: "If you plug two 110 volt amps into a 220 volt circuit will the result be 440 volts? Isn't that as loud as like ...a billion watts? Or is 440 just an "A"? Sorry, that must be the guitarist part of my brain rambling on again.

Yes...a billion watts is the bare minimum for gigging....

Like "You're up". :roflmao: In my native language we write "Europa", which is pronounced as follows: Eur as in her, o like ow, pa as in Partition. :woot:
The continent of Europe was inadvertently named by the Roman emperor Nero. He wasn't really that good on the fiddle so he couldn't get anybody that wanted to jam with him, but he was the emperor, so could compel them to. He'd hold these battle of the bands contests among conquered nations to see who got spared (or not). They'd set the stage up and ol' resin bow Nero himself would blindfold himself and spin in a circle pointing his finger out towards the crowd. When he stopped, whatever group was "given the finger" by Nero, he'd shout "Yer up!" and they'd play for their lives. One night Nero got too close to the candles when he was swirling around and didn't realize until afterwards that he started the fire that eventually destroyed his city. Made Hendrix look like an amateur.
