How come I don't post in this thread anymore?

Don't know. Tell me the answer, oh wise one.

That's what we wanted to know.

thickasabrick 12-15-2004 10:01 AM

anyone see Oceans 12 where everyone is talking in code, and the Matt Damon character doesn't know how, so he quotes Kashmir (oh let the sun beat down upon my face...) and then everyone is stunned.. and it turns out he called some guys daugher a whore or something?

only me and one other guy in the theatre laughed at that, no one else knew what he was quoting but it was hilarious.

anyone else see that?

edit- guitrguy, lets step inside the community thread as not too spam this thread too much.

gmoneyguy 12-15-2004 10:05 AM

I haven't seen oceans 12. Is it any good?

thickasabrick 12-15-2004 10:33 AM

i'm just wondering...When did the Guess Who begin their career, and end it? and When did BTO begin? I just wanna know whether they ran concurrently at any point of time, or whether BTO came a lot later.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]k please tell me you guys have heard of Traffic...

someone in the "U2 getting inducted" thread just mentioned Traffic getting inducted and said it was a load of crap because they are an unknown and un-influencial band.

i kinda flipped out on him, and i just wanna make sure my getting angry was relatively justified.[/QUOTE]

I've heard of Traffic. In fact, I have Traffic's Best of album. They're a cool band. Dear Mr. Fantasy totally kicks arse. Plus, its Steve Winwood singing, man.

I've heard that Page considered him to be the lead singer of the band that would have become Led Zeppelin. And yes, Zeppelin was called at first the New Yardbirds since Page put the band together to finish some tour dates that the Yardbirds didn't do.

What does The Band sound like?

I guess I could check them out.

Mainly Roots Rock but they have many different styles.

They played as Bob Dylans back up band.

I have a bootleg of-Neil Young, The Band and Bob Dylan:eek:

They play Helpless and Knockn' on Heavens Door.:cool:

I saw Dweezil Zappa on VH1 a few days ago. I've never seen his face before, now for Moonunit.

I saw them both on this show about this 'Daughters of Rockstars' special.:eek:

cant_stand_me_now 12-15-2004 03:33 PM

anyone seen the footage from when Dylan played with The Hawks (later The Band) in Manchester in 1964 when Dylan first went electric? Its pretty famous so you probably have but for the lesser knowing ones, some guy shouts "Traitor!" at Dylan. Dylan turns round and says quietly into the mic "I dont believe you, you're a liar." Then RObbie Robertson shouts "You're a ****ing liar!" and they go into a really sneery version of Like A Rolling Stone. :-0

Keep in mind that they quickly moved to the US. And it's stupid to like band more so because they from your country, opposed to not being, IMO.

This is old, but I had to reply about Traffic. Unfortunately they are somewhat unknown, but they are certainly not un-influencial. Steve Winwood is an amazing musician. At one point in his career with Traffic he played guitar, bass, keyboards, and sang for a studio album.

I'm listening to Mr. Fantasy(the album) right now.

Almost all the guests on the Last Waltz were Canadian too.

I haven't seen it :(

Do you know where I can find it?

I've been into Jimi Hendrix for a while now (about 4 months) and he is still the greatest musician I have ever heard.

His songs simply take me away to another place. His solos are just breath taking. His lyrics are thought provoking and inspiring. I love his on-stage antics.

That's mostly true. What albums do you have?

clown_phobia 12-15-2004 04:56 PM

Right now I have Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix, but I will no-doubt be getting his studio albums as soon as possible.

Distant Echoes 12-15-2004 05:01 PM

I do not agree that hendrix was near the greatest guitarist ever...but he was a great song writer. When i actually took some time to not focus on his guitar playing...i realized how great his lyrics were.

My fav song by The Hendrix Exp would probably be Fire. When i hear it, i can never get that tune out of my head

True, he may not have been the greatest, be he definately one of the best. And he was also one of the greatest songwriters.

lunch998 12-15-2004 05:05 PM

Fire is Mitchell's famous drumming song, but I really like his beat in Manic Depression. I'm listening to Are You Experienced right now, actually.

The song or the album? Both are great.

clown_phobia 12-15-2004 05:07 PM

good stuff! If you listen to Hendrix's solo in [i]Axis: Bold as Love[/i] - how can you doubt he an amazing guitarist?

jpj 12-15-2004 05:09 PM

I love All Along The Watchtower, it has to be one of the greatest covers ever.

BludgeonySteve 12-15-2004 05:37 PM

Pfft, everyone needs to forget about that Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists list. Jimi isn't the best but he's very good and is one of the greatest people at making music, ever. And that's all that matters.

Plus, live he's much better than recorded. That's not an easy thing to do.

Broken Arrow 12-15-2004 05:39 PM

I like his version of the blues:cool:


Edit-Well who is the best guitarist then?
