People using the "What Yanks Your Chain" thread and completely ignoring my old "The Ranting Room" thread









But whilst I'm here - re the 'tapping' technique argument; I recently saw a film of Buddy Guy from the late 1950s... want to guess what technique he was using?

Jon Lord 1941 - 2012

I don't think the tapping from Dancing with the Moonlit Knight is easier than Eruption, though, and Selling England by the Pound pre-dated Van HAlen 1 by 5 years.

^Let me guess, they give VH credit when it is actually Hackett's discovery. That would be on my list as well.

When someone is typing a sentence, and they put a parentheses in a sentence, ( but forget to put the other one at the end, so it leads you up trying to find the end of the parenthetical sentence but there is none so you don't know where it should go. It is very annoying.

Yes, and how they Portrayed Frank Zappa as a drug user. They had a sketch of him with a big spliff in his mouth. Absolutely uncalled for.Angry

Mindless taping I don't care about; Steve Hackett puts sense into that by adding a layer of composition that makes the taping worhty. The other taper mentioned can be replaced with a computer easily.

I dont understand it.
Do they think they will lose readers if they devote some editorial space or review space to Prog? Surely it would greatly enhance their customer base!
Or do they believe that including Prog would be like "selling out"?Confused

Hey that applies to MOST music magazines!


 
I think you hit the nail on the head Tony.  Music magazine promote more about dental hygiene than progressive music.  They never miss a chance to kick prog when it's down though. Pinch

What yanks my chain? Well, there is very, very small, tiny man, named Edward, who frequently assaults me by strangling me with a bicycle chain, and I believe I saw him take that from my bike; therefore, that would be my chain he is yanking.
