Let's spread some musical misinformation

Handel's 'Water Music' was composed on the fly to help extinguish a major blaze started during the first performance of his 'Music for the Royal Fireworks', in 1749.
I thought it was "I've got issues, I'm afraid of dyin'... ", but it wasn't "up" enough for Teen Bleat Maggotzine....
This was originally a top-secret military development intended for military bands, specifically to replace the antiquated Sousaphone in the marching bands with electric bass guitar (it also was to house a battery-powered amp naturally) ... but some idiot tried to leak the design to the weapons development section thinking they could mount rifle-PPG combinations and it was that leaked document that was intercepted by the film industry and henceforth the design adapted for camera work.
For Über-black Mëtāl All Instruments, clothing, and stage props must be painted in Invalid Link Removed.
BTW, the nut on a Gibson is reversible, whereas on a Fender it is not. Just ask @GBassNorth ...

Further on black paint, never paint the inside of a hollow body with über black paint. This will instantly create a black hole, sucking in the entire galaxy.
When Fender decided to release a fretless Precision, Leo wanted to name it the Approximate, but the marketing department killed that idea.
Fender is announcing the release of the Buckaroo Banzai signature 8 string Dimension bass.
As noted by Feral Feline above - Gibson has blazed the innovation trail like no one at Fender ever could.
Notable Gibson innovations...
1) The "automatic detach" feature on their headstocks - this has saved countless tuners from being bent or damaged when the bass is dropped on the floor.
2) The "auto dive" feature built into many of their models - nothing hurts more than accidentally getting whacked in the face by the headstock of your band mate. That safety hazard was solved by Gibson. Now we can jump and prance around stage without accidentally knocking the teeth out of the lead singer.
3) The "compensation Humbucker" or mudbucker as some call it was a fantastic addition to the Gibson line up. With that pickup it no longer matters if you know a song exactly note for note, the pup compensates for inaccuracy by creating a wall of nearly subsonic tone that makes it almost impossible to tell which note you're playing.
4) And my favorite, the "reversible nut". We've all heard about or experienced phase cancellation issues in multi pickup basses. Well Gibson took a fresh approach at solving the problem. Unlike Fender and other builders that require time consuming and tricky rewiring of the pup to pot connections, Gibson allows you to simply reverse your nut to eliminate the phase cancellation problem. Here's a picture of mine in the reverse position...
It's obvious that by comparison Leo and the rest of the Fender company have been completely asleep at the wheel and totally lacking in any real innovation of their instruments.

"Stairway To Heaven" was no accidental trial-by-error composition. Disney hired Led Zeppelin to come up with a viable theme song for the California operation at the time.
A song that was instantly recognizable and alluded to being able to purchase heaven-like enjoyment plus targeting a younger age demographic.
"Stairway To Heaven" was the final product. But execs thought it was too serious and couldn't imagine anybody singing it while wearing mouse ears...
Rush was briefly a 5 piece band. Geddy Lee was cloned; the original played bass while the two clones worked alternate nights on keyboards and vocals.
The same was done by the Beatles, with Ringo being cloned, however, after a band meeting, Ringo was fired and the clone was retained.

Yes...cloning people is rampant in the music industry.
Alice Cooper's 1980 song "Clones (We're All)"...was an open admission that he wasn't the real Alice Cooper.....
Alice Cooper was forced to adopt the name Alice Cooper when his identity was stolen.
Alice Cooper........D.B. Cooper...
You decide..
You decide..
If you listen to The English Beat's version of a Smokey Robinson hit you can hear Ranking Roger's clearly singing about the tears of a clone.
