And the tone of the bulldozer emits color!

Actually, the tone affects the color of the bulldozer. I thought you were an honors student.
But what's the best bulldozer for metal?

brilliant
Thanks all for excellent suggestions. Our singer is a total professional (and marketing guru), I trust her to have everything under control. There will most definitely be no shuffling.
Is that Kat politely saying "Bugger off foul harpies. Your vexatious suggestions are counterproductive and unwelcome."?
That’s only with your synesthesia.
The better question: What is the best metal for bulldozers?
Steel... haven’t yet figured out which alloy though.
It’s some cutting edge technology in the musical dozer world though! Big breakthroughs!

Sounds like you need some jazz in your repertoire
Not every band member needs to be playing in every song, so if you have any “duo” material, consider putting that in your show.
Not at all. They may be counterproductive but never unwelcome.

Our drummer could fake jazz...

Faking jazz for a drummer is easy: just keep time and throw in random kicks/cymbal crashes that have nothing to do with what the other band members are playing.

Thanks for having tried my foolishness. Now I can move on to other matters of stupidity I've yet to try.
Latest I've seen on the Gibson thing... From Music Radar
Gibson shifts "from confrontation to collaboration" in copycat row | MusicRadar
Gibson, in a dramatic response to the ongoing controversy over its apparently belligerent stance on 'copycat' makers, has issued a markedly emollient statement, and appears to want to draw a line under any simmering bad feeling amongst competitors and the public.
"This recent situation has led the team to re-evaluate their approach"
Gibson statement
"While new management is building on the legacy, quality and craftsmanship that guitarists have come to love and expect from Gibson," reads the statement, "they will also continue to manage and attempt to resolve the conflicts of the past.
"A clear challenge has been in the area of brand protection," the statement continues, before outlining the firm's recent victories, and drawing a distinction between broader trademark protection and out-and-out counterfeiting.
"Over the past eight months, the team have successfully dealt with over 4,500 counterfeit and ‘knock-off’ guitars coming from overseas that were clearly designed to confuse the consumer into thinking they were buying a real Gibson.
Addressing the issue of wider trademark protection, and its well reported dispute with Dean Guitars, the statement continues: "With regards to other guitar brands and companies in the marketplace, Gibson has filed specific lawsuits over the past several years with the intention of protecting its original trademark(s) rights and to avoid consumer confusion in the market.
"All of the recent attention on the few lawsuits in process stem from several years of legal action initiated well before the new leadership arrived in November of 2018. With specific regards to the inherited and ongoing legal dynamic with Dean Guitars, the new Gibson team have made several attempts to communicate with them directly to avoid a prolonged legal battle. Gibson has genuine intentions of constructive resolution that could be beneficial to both sides.
Finally, the firm directly addresses the current controversy, and says it's led the team to "re-evaluate their approach going forward with the intention of finding more constructive solutions to managing brand protection in the industry. Over the past few weeks Gibson has made significant progress in reducing counterfeit ‘attacks’ and they have entered into creative collaboration agreements with key boutique guitar makers and other related industry parties. A clear indication of their intentions going forward.
“I am proud of the progress we have made with our attention to quality, with the launch of the new collections, and with our renewed engagement to our Gibson authorized dealer base" says James ‘JC’ Curleigh, President and CEO of Gibson
"At the same time, we acknowledge there are still legacy challenges to solve going forward, especially around brand protection and market solutions,”
“It is time to make the modern-day shift from confrontation towards collaboration, whilst still protecting our brands, and we are committed to making this happen starting now”.
