I figured the 2nd quote might be Garcia (mostly because I’m not over-familiar with G-D) but, 😆 , you threw me for a minute on the first quote.
The idea that Bill Graham would take time out of evangelical God-bothering in order to eulogise the band struck me as weird. Then I realized; Bill Graham the promoter (who handled the Philadelphia side of Live Aid, IIRC) – not Billy Graham 😳
-
September 26, 2007 at 10:39 pm #72385shakedown_04092Participant
You, sir, are correct.
And the quotes came from a.) Bill Graham, and b.) Jerry Garcia (the phonebook quote…a great quote, btw)

Something to do with “change a lightbulb” gags, but Grateful Dead is ringing a bell. Even so, I have no idea who said what, even if I am right about the band.

September 22, 2007 at 9:31 pm #72372shakedown_04092Participant
Nope, try again. This band started in the 60’s however, under the name “The Warlocks”
-
September 22, 2007 at 6:40 pm #72401lee_UKParticipant
It’s not LAND, (thats my band) and we are the greatest band in the world.
ummm, The Stones come a bit behind us, maybe it was them? -

[quote=”lee_UK”]What was the name of that band you used to have on your myspace page? or blogg or whatever you youngun’s call it?[/quote]
I think you’re close, Lee 😯 . But they were quite simply they greatest band in the world (IMHO, of course).

What?

Pardon?
-
September 21, 2007 at 7:47 am #724051bassleftParticipant
That’s bugging me, now, Shake. It’s a 70s band, I’m sure, but I shall have to sleep on it.
[quote]Yeah, “Pardon?” was the next line, tsk.[/quote]
[quote]I take it you are not a Saxondalette? Steve Coogan character, excellent comedy program.[/quote]
That was excellent comedy all by itself. Who was playing the straight man? 😆
-
September 21, 2007 at 5:32 am #72413TimParticipant
Indeed it is, in which the line “Pardon?” followed the line “90% of the information on the Internet is wrong”…but I think the moment has passed now, move along… 😆

Who said:
“They’re not the best at what they do, they’re the only ones who do what they do”
and about whom was this person speaking?
ahhh….and another gem, from one of the members of the same band, on writing songs (lyrics):
“I’d rather fill in all the O’s in the phone book”

Saxondale – BBC2 thurs 9.30pm.

Pardon? 😆

Tommy Saxondale. Ex Roadie. -

Back on topic..
I love my SG, where would i be without it? -
September 17, 2007 at 9:40 am #724181bassleftParticipant
Back on topic, I think it was Howard. Or was it Alice in Chains? Weren’t they quite good?
-
September 17, 2007 at 7:55 am #72363MichaelParticipant
Grammar has no business on the Internet.
Actually I just did some Hootie Youtubing and he was pretty catchy… for a 90s soft cock.
-
September 17, 2007 at 7:51 am #72370lee_UKParticipant
I was always impressed with the 360 Rickenbacker he played, don’t see too many of those about.
Dont forgot to wath your wording. And gramer mike.
-
September 17, 2007 at 7:48 am #72371MichaelParticipant
I doubt you ever considered Hootie and the Blowfish ‘quite’ good
-
September 17, 2007 at 7:46 am #72400lee_UKParticipant
Jesus Jones were quite good, or am i thinking of Hootie and the Blowfish?
-
September 17, 2007 at 7:43 am #72399MichaelParticipant
Was Jesus Jones inspired by Howard Jones?
-
September 17, 2007 at 7:40 am #72388lee_UKParticipant
Talking of the Twins, did anyone ever work out what that bloke in chains was up to? or was that Howard Jones?
-
September 17, 2007 at 7:08 am #723801bassleftParticipant
😆 , I did say “able and influential player”
-
September 17, 2007 at 7:07 am #72364MichaelParticipant
Mine was Bryan Adams. Steak yeah.
-
September 17, 2007 at 6:53 am #72393lee_UKParticipant
Of the Thompson twins!! 😆
-
September 17, 2007 at 6:23 am #724071bassleftParticipant
Ta-da! Well done, Lee
-
September 17, 2007 at 5:34 am #72361lee_UKParticipant
Thompson?
-
September 17, 2007 at 5:17 am #723781bassleftParticipant
No takers? OK, his first name is Richard and he is a guitarist, not a bassist.
-
September 14, 2007 at 8:14 am #723651bassleftParticipant
Too self-deprecating to be Clapton, surely? Gilmour takes and makes a joke about himself (such as “thank God Money switched to 4/4 so that I could actually play lead over it”) but it’s not him. More of a folky-rocky player.

[quote=”1bassleft”]I completely identify with this quote, although the sayer is considered a very able and influential player. If I’d come up with the quote, it’d have had less irony than a plastic magnet:
[quote]I’m glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me[/quote][/quote]
Got to be Clapton or Gilmour, they are always banging on about the futileness of Speed Shredding and technique.

’tis true, Lee; a well-known Grouchoism, like “that’s no lady, that’s my wife” and “I wouldn’t join any club that would have me as a member”. I wonder when Groucho did the quote? Bit risque for the time they were in films I’d’ve thought.
Anyhoo, is that a new challenge, Mike? I suggest “Sharon Osbourne” 🙂

It’s a musicians quote.
And i don’t believe this muso would nick another mans quote. -
September 12, 2007 at 7:07 am #72381MichaelParticipant
A musician no doubt copied it at some time.
-
September 12, 2007 at 6:46 am #723841bassleftParticipant
I can tell, Mike. This one’s not a musician’s quote, but a very well known one.
-
September 12, 2007 at 6:27 am #72376MichaelParticipant
Alice Cooper
(please note i’m not using any google assistance here… just first off the top of my head)

Bass, you win. The Spandex laden noodler was responsible.
