I'm a bad winner!

  you can THAT ^ being a bad winner. Dude.. we really do have to work on your internet skills.  You lacked charisma as Camel Commander...  sh*t talked like a complete poseur.. showed little creativity in your tactics.  Hey.. you won.. now if ELP had won.  THEN you would have seen a bad winner..  the party at  ELP world HQ's would have been the stuff of legend.  Women.. men.. farm animals.. all would be in various states of underess and extreme drunkeness..  PA's would be aglow in gloating and sh*t talking..  in fact we would have demoted Camel to a 3rd Division generic prog band for actually losing to the most reviled and unpopular in prog (well next to Dream Theater ) and one of the most criticially trashed groups in all music.

Congratulation on the victory.. but don't feel TOO good about it.   You were this close to losing..you were behind yesterday.. and likely would have if General Micky had called in the reserves.  I know I had at least 5 or even more votes sitting on FB of fans of the group that don't post or come here anymore that I didn't call in, wanting and still hoping until today we might pull this out without going to more .. creative tactics.

Good battle Camel fans.. you won.. but never forget.. you are more popular.. but you will never be the greater or more imporant group and ELP's classics will still be discovered and marvelled over when Camel is long forgotten.

One of my favourite guitar solos!And the best version is the original one.Live versions and the new re-recorded version don't have the magic of the original one.

Hurrrrrah Camel
