Let's spread some musical misinformation

Nothing worse than a failed bagpipe player.

Before you ask...there is no best bagpipe for metal.

Leo was going to invent the Precision Bass Bagpipe....but ditched the idea almost immediately
when he realized there are some people out there that would actually try to play this thing through an 8x10 cab with a fuzz pedal.

The population density in Scotland is much lower than england which points to them being effective in Scotland too. The population density is very low in northern Canada too, so it must be full of bagpipes. They need to release some haggis there to control numbers.

Don't muddy mis-information with facts!

Just like the fact that a duck's quack has no echo, a bagpipe through a fuzz pedal sounds the same.

I've heard bagpipes, but I'm not sure I've heard them played successfully.

Gregorian chant was named after my cousin Gregory

Glen Campbell's youth as a gang member led to a stint of hard labor in a rock quarry. That's how he became known as the "Limestone Cowboy".

Later on in life he polished up his act and became known as the Rhinestone Cowboy.

...well after his stint as a lineman for the county.

P.s That stretch down south did in fact stand the strain.

Somewhere amidst these aforementioned periods in Campbell's life, he fell in with the wrong crowd. During that time, most everything he wrote was rubbish and nonsensical and didn't sell, thus with no money to support his newly acquired drug-habit, he turned to the second oldest profession and turned tricks — this became known as his Rhyme-Stoned Call-boy period.






BTW, I just named my new band "Duck's Quack Has No Echo" ...

Gregorian chant was the original rap.

 

[Jay2U]

Rap was meant to be Wrap, because the spoken lyrics are wrapped up in rhythmic music. The misspelling dates back to the mid 70's.

The musical von Trapp family is descended from an errant Trappist monk that failed to keep two vows at the very least.

Country music had its roots in the folk music of the Eastern USA and was originally called Eastern to distinguish it from western. But before long it was being played all over the country and the new name stuck. Eventually it spread worldwide and became known as World.

The Canadian band, Prism, pioneered intergalactic rock when they released Spaceship Superstar.

The true origin of electric stringed instruments actually goes back to WWI. The engine magneto would pickup the resonance of the support cables at the wings and different speeds, climbs, dives, rolls would create the notes. The Red Baron was actually the leader of the first supergruppen but was lost during the first "battle of the bands" by machine gunners on the ground who provided percussion for the Allies. This was the basis of the Germans inventing the phrase, "fire the drummer". When the Americans entered the war, they brought a secret weapon by the name of Rickenbacker (Eddie) who put all the others to shame when he could get unique tone and growl from his machine.

WW2 was much the same, but faster, but did give us mustang sally.

...and the very first proto-punk.

 

[Jay2U]

I used to be insecure while gigging. Then I found out that I shouldn't bring a new bass, but a used one with a lot of mileage instead. Now my '72 P-Bass leads the way.

...and the very first proto-punk.

But with trombones, clarinets, and swing. First drum solos too, so not all good.

Road-worn basses, including those that arrive from the factory in a distressed condition, do actually sound substantially better than those in pristine condition. The wearing process tightens the grain of the wood giving a more resonant sound.

Heavily relic'd basses take it even further. Those were submitted to mechanical torture, equal to at least 25 years on the road. This treatment tightens up the grain to an unbelievable density, only equaled in the center of a massive black hole. These basses are guaranteed to bring their owners glory and fortune.

Paul Simonomnom of The Clash was simply trying to rapidly improve the tone of his bass in that famous photo.
