Let's spread some musical misinformation

That's like a policeman saying "I've contemplated taking a few lessons from the mafia"

The Beatles were originally called The Beatless due to inferior drumming, and the loss of the last s was due to poor planning on a poster which left insufficient space for the full name.

That is the story John told, but George (who many regard as more reliable) explained that 8 letters cost 160 quid, but 7 letters was only 70 quid. Being musicians, they weren't good at math but knew that 160 was more than 70.

That was the first gig after the completion of Ringo's drumming course, and the gig was successful and the shortened name stuck.

Although Ringo attended all the classes, the school assigned him a grade of unsatisfactory (fail) and noted that he would be required repeat the course.

You can change the strings on your bass... but only if the strings want to change.

but what if your strings just need a 'break?

Jaco actually did need a 5 string, active bass with flats and a pickguard and a massive pedal board.

Never buy a guitar from a music store without reading all the paperwork.... There are almost always strings attached!

Jaco was no musical genius. It was the voices in his head that told him what notes to play.

depending on which mafia we're talking about, I've read that some of them actually took care of their communities, so perhaps not all bad. I get what you're saying. I'm just pointing out that there's a whole lot of grey and little is simply black and white.

except the fact that banjos are annoying. That's pretty clear.

There is no best banjo for metal. They are ALL perfect.

With the departure of Alan Wilder, Depeche Mode took a turn in musical style. They began performing on stages covered in frozen confections and changed the band's name to Depeche A La Mode.

Problem is, the voices in my head were arguing, now they're not talking to one another. I have no idea what to play, now.

The Sound of Silence?

The Sound of Silence?

Only the tinnitus remains... Would someone answer that damned phone!?

 

[biguglyman]

I called the tinnitus helpline yesterday. Nobody answered...it just kept ringing...

If you want to avoid tinnitus, just avoid putting tins over your ears.

My problem with the voice in my head is it sounds like Yoko Ono singing! Please help!

You have it easy. The voices in my head all sound like Gilbert Gottfried.
