I was given the oporunity to play some songs at the local bar, so I played some Van der Graaf Generator, but after two minutes they shut me down saying the guitars drove the croud nuts.

strange... the lack of guitar (at least well played guitar!) in VdGG actually drives me nuts sometimes ------------- Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret: Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!) |

The lack of guitar heroics is part of what makes VDGG so unique. I love guitars as much as the next man, and used to consider their presence integral to ANY kind of rock music. VDGG proved otherwise.. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Was the problem playing VDGG? (unknown to and probably unbearable for 99.99 % of mankind) or playing guitar (amplified?), which is also unbearable for 99.98% of mankind. Everybody knows that rock is insane noise while 60,000 @ç!%ùù! shouting in a football stadium are a cultural event. ------------- Pierre R, the man who lost his signature |

While visiting me, a friend once asked irritably: 'Do we really have to listen to heavy metal?' I was playing Sleepwalkers by VDGG at the time..
Some people.... ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I recently went into a bar called the tower inn in exeter, which has an mp3 based jukebox, so u can basically put virtually anything on. I was feeling a little bit cheeky, so I put on a live version of interstellar overdrive. It was worth the quid 50 because it came on just as they had turned the sound up. A lot of confused faces from people expecting all the latest dance and r'n'b!!!
