[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]Often dying is the best thing one can do for their career[/QUOTE]

This is true somtimes but both Hendrix and Rhoads were in the process of redefining their sound, Rhoads was going for a more classical rock sound and Hendrix was going for more of a funk/psychidellic sound. I have a feeling they would have become a lot more well known for their new ideas in music had they lived.

its areguable hendrix wouldve been more or less famous if he had stuck around. Didnt he only have about 3 original albums until he died? Its hard to say how their popularity evolved, whether from conceptions of whther they may have had a good future, or glorisized for the amount of time they were here. Hendrix was very sloppy...may not have suited well for the latter 70s, but who knows.

But to stay on topic, I borrowed Disc 2 of The White Album today, but its all messed up and some tracks are seperated at random parts...plus a buzzing noise in the backround. I dont know how those idiots do that and not notice...but I really want to buy it, dispite the fact it cost almost $35

I voted George! Lately, I've really be diggin Hey Jude. And Abbey Road.

I heard a story today, I'm not sure if it is, but if it is then its really funny. I heard that Nixon tried to kick John Lennon out of the country, but he couldn't. After he resigned he wanted to move into the condo complex Lennon lived in (I can't spell Dakoda) but they wouldn't let him because Lennon was living there. So the Nixon didn't have enough power to throw Lennon out of the country, but just Lennon living some where was enough to keep Nixon out :lol:

He also labeled Timothy Leary as "The Most Dangerous Man In America". All he did was spread the word of Psychedelics :p

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream (as well as basically the rest of the lyrics from tomorrow never knows)

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed Till they find there's no need

All the lyrics in Within Without you

t doesn't really matter what chords I play What words I say or time of day it is cause it's only a Northern song

All you need is love

The farther one travels the less one knows (and the rest from the inner light)

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe (and the rest of the lyrics from acroos the universe)
this is all I can think of right now

Yeah when Abby Hoffman was making an appearnce at the white house she tried, but failed to tab Nixons coffee with LSD before he had a press conference. Come on that would be the best thing EVER. Nation wide footage of a trippin Nixon.

[QUOTE=eghed]Does anybody know who says that

It was Ringo after they played [i]Helter Skelter[/i] for half and hour (the song originally lasted around 29 minutes).

I've always wandered what happened to that version... They should release it.

Part of it is in Anthology but not the entire thing

[QUOTE=eghed]Part of it is in Anthology but not the entire thing[/QUOTE]

But Anthology only has the acoustic version, right?

Anyways, what do you guys think is the best track on the Anthology set? I have to say the best track there is the acoustic version of [i]While My Guitar Gently Weeps[/i]. It's a very well sung, and very well played by Harrison. It gave me a whole new point of view on my favourite song.

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]:amaze: I would do ANYTHING and I'm mean anything to any use you can imagine, to hear that.[/QUOTE]

It would be totally awesome... The longest Beatle track ever. And I think George played rhythm guitar, and not lead. It was John who played lead.

And do you guys know why Paul wrote [i]Helter Skelter[/i]?

Abby Hoffman? Do you mean Albert Hoffman? Or does he have a female twin :p

That's cool, I think in the one on the album John plays bass, or at least that's what it says in the books.

Yea? Hmm.. I really don't remember the lineup for that song. I only know it was a weird one.

It might, I don't know the person who told it to me said Abby, but you probally know more about it.

Yes I think they could have released both of them, I recently learned how to play the acoustic one on guitar. It's very beautiful

[QUOTE=slowhand]Yea? Hmm.. I really don't remember the lineup for that song. I only know it was a weird one.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I think it's cool when they change around who's palying what. like on Good Morning Good Morning wher Paul plays lead guitar
