Well ZURF in fact THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF A REAL MUSICIAN. And I mean it.
When I play a cover, I try to do it 100% my way = trying to get a better song than the song I cover.

Re: WAS or IS PAUL MC CARTNEY DEAD? (5 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
My humble opinion is that it is a typical "PRACTICAL JOKE from who else than JOHN LENNON", maybe they started these rumors because of being afraid that THEY WOULD SELL LESS BECAUSE THEY STOPPED PERFORMING LIFE.

Topic: IS THIS PLAGIARISM OR NOT????? (1 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
On my everlasting search to TRY and write some interesting threads and or information for chordie I discover sometimes = very little but AMAZING facts.
WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE=
- We all know the phenomenal song who is topping almost every hitparade in every country for years, like the greatest hits in 2007, you will find almost always in the top 5
1) LED ZEPPELIN with STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
2) QUEEN with their bombastic but fantastic song BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
3) DEEP PURPLE with CHILD IN TIME
DO ME A FAVOR --> GO TO YOUTUBE --> FACT 1 = SEARCH SPIRIT+ the song TAURUS = Same or very similar to STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN. The story is that Jimmy Page was somewhere in 1969 in a club in LA where the band taurus played at that time, and as we all know, some tunes we will always remember. FACT 2 = YOUTUBE --> SEARCH 'BOMBAY CALLING by the American Band IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY from 1969) = CHILD IN TIME by DEEP PURPLE. Nobody knows if the song is "stolen", some people say that Jon LORD had a relation with one of the female members and he could use that intro, and he gave them another song. This is far the most logical explanation.

WHY ARE THEY ELECTED?
If I make my conclusion now, an active member in the community like church, a man without diploma can be elected? or not?
- SHERIFFS?
- CORONERS?

Re: I SHOT THE SHERIFF, but I didn't shoot the deputy. (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Well dear friends for a NON MUSIC thread I get some really good answers + it's an EXEPTIONAL 1 TIME thread, I could use the title to make it music related. Glad to see so much interest.
I found THANKS TO YOU ALL a very interesting site.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policing_i … ted_States
It is more complicated than I thought. In some counties the sheriff is "THE" authority, in others he has more administrative tasks like transport of prisoners. I realise that it DEPENDS FROM STATE TO STATE. In some states and counties he is almost everything: LAW, CORONER and to become a coroner you need to be a lawyer or MD but if you have both degrees !! I also saw that THE CORONER HAS THE POWER TO ARREST the sheriff. JESUS it is complex.
REBEL I forgot the "TEXAS RANGERS" are they more powerful?
So in fact everybody without a felon can be elected as sheriff? Sheriff Gitaardocphil and his deputies (nice name for a band). 4 years sheriff and if not re-elected what's next?
COMPLICATED, COMPLICATED & COMPLICATED.
THANKS A LOT for helping me, but I see that more people don't know the structure, probably because it depends. About money I know that there are lawyers who join the force too, and once you get a certain degree the paycheck is not bad, but what about the risk?

Topic: How many numbers longer than 10 MINUTES became famous? (16 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
In the 60ties and 70ties a number or a hit was 2 - 4 minutes long but of course every rule has his exception so I wander how many numbers became great hits and were longer than 10 minutes.
I am able to name a few like
1) IRON BUTTERFLY with In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. (17 minutes)
2) RUSH with the song 2112 (20:33 minutes) in 1976
3) PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC with ARE YOU READY but I am not sure about this. Did they have 2 versions?
4) LED ZEPPELIN with IN MY TIME OF DYING
5) DEEP PURPLE with CHILD IN TIME ( The story of this song should be based on 'Bombay Calling' van de Amerikaanse band It's A Beautiful Day uit 1969)

THE TITLE IS MUSIC RELATED, THE CONTENT NOT.
I am really sorry and my apologies for putting this on chordie. If you want to delete it, I'll understand it.
Since months I am trying to figure out what a SHERIFF is in law enforcement.
- He/She is elected, can a medical doc become a sheriff?
- Where is his place in law enforcement? Is he higher ranked than a police officer? Has he the same duties? What about the deputy?
- In general can everyone becomes a sheriff?
All I know is POLICE, FBI, STATE TROOPERS, so please mail me about this or if you don't delete it give me some information about these different kind of law enforcement.
Please help this poor doc, who is desperate because I don't find information that satisfies me.

Re: Tips and Tricks (7 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
NELA this is great. MY worst nightmare is CHANGING STRINGS. I never have a nice result like you see the strings as in the guitar store. I CAN'T WIND THE STRINGS DECENT, but 1 week later they stay still in tune but the visually aspect? AWFUL.
SO PLEASE GIVE ME A GOOD TIP TO PUT AND CHANGE STRINGS ON MY GUITAR.
I start with the big E-string (not to wear on the beach) and I push on that string on the first fret, I put the string through the little hole and that's where the problem starts: the winding and tuning.

A BIG SURPRISE: the song WILD HORSES by the STONES is written and performed by THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS listen to their version on YOUTUBE, real great.
There is still a discussion but GRAM PARSONS preferred to hang out with Mick and Keith. The song is also credited to Mick & Keith but in fact it should be written by Parsons who was at that time still a member of the BURRITO brothers.
THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT ITEM. As told I put tons of time in it. IF I'M WRONG DON'T SHOOT ME PLEASE.

Topic: YES THE DOC IS BACK: Cover songs better than the original song (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I put a lot of time on this topic. IT IS A TRICKY, STINKY TOPIC
There are a lot of songs who are known as being a huge hit for a band, that you are 100% Convinced that THAT band wrote the song.
2) That you are surprised that THAT band is the original band and not the HIT band.
There are some nice examples. I will write it in Q & A
1) Q = WHO WROTE "Wild Thing?" A = Almost everybody will answer THE TROGGS.
2) Q = WHO WROTE "Black Magic Woman"? A = Santana
3) Q = WHO WROTE "White Rabbit" A = Jefferson Airplane.
4) Q = WHO WROTE "Oye Como Va" A = Santana
5) Q = WHO WROTE "Blueberry Hill" A = Fats Domino
And the best is yet to come.
6) Q = WHO WROTE "Rock Around the Clock" A = Bill Haley and The Comets.
7) Q = WHO WROTE "CROSSROADS" A = Clapton of course!!
ALL WRONG MY FRIENDS None of these are "The Original band".
1) Author & performer = CHIP TAYLOR.
2) Author & Performer = FLEETWOOD MAC
3) Author & Performer = GREAT SOCIETY
4) Author & Performer = TITO PUENTE
5) Author & Performer = GENE AUTRY
6) Author & Performer = SUNNY DAE & HIS KNIGHTS
7) Author & Performer = ROBERT JOHNSON but titled "Cross Roads Blues"
AMAZING ISN'T IT? I am working on this one already a few weeks, and I believe it is a SURPRISE to see the ORIGINAL PERFORMER.
I have more of this, saved in WORD, but PLEASE ADD SOME OF THIS AMAZING STUFF TOO.
You will know at least a lot of others like ME AND BOBBY MC GEE Janis Joplin while most of us know that it is written by KRIS KRISTOFFERSON those are the easy ones.

Re: SOMEONE HAS PEED IN MY MAILBOX (21 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I am still convinced that
Greediness - an excessive desire for wealth (usually in large amounts) source online dictionary is the cause of all these victims.
You find them in all layers of population from dishwashers to lawyers (the last is 100% true).
Even having 100.000.000$ you want more, NO DISCUSSION possible.
THE SCAMMERS (who are greedy too) are aware of this fact and they will have at least ONE HIT on 100 mails. They are geniuses in "playing with your weaknesses", and I am always afraid to answer because the link can give them access to your private stuff on your PC. I've been a few times the only heir of a fortune after searching for some years, what about my brothers and sisters?
Why am I afraid? I did some great business on EBAY, having real good guitars and 100% correct and perfect. On a day I got 4 emails on another email account linked to eBay that I got a second chance for an item. STUPIDITY was my name, instead of checking first MY EBAY I mailed back "why me I am on the 6th place after the bidding was closed" to get a call from mastercard that I gambled in Australia, that I was in a hotel in France, and they told that they knew almost who did this, and without any fee or paying that amount I got a new card. RESPECT for that card company.

What kind of music style fits here to a limerick?
YES, I FOUND A FEW CHORDS TO HAVE A LIMERICK SONG.
SEE THE SONGWRITING TOPIC.
1) “A Clown on Viagra�
A clown went to Doctor McDougal
with pain in his whatcha-ma-doodle.
With turns of his wrists
and a couple of twists
he’d made it look just like a poodle.
2) There was a doc who played guitar
He had no hands and never got far
He found a finger on a street
And used it to meet and to greet
But they took it throwing it under his car

Re: MOST STUPID ALBUM and/or TITLES (4 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
ABOUT THE MUSICAL ASPECT, there was in PARIS a guy who performed on stage name the "petomane,"he was able to "squeeze so good that he could play the MARSEILLAISE." He used his "classical gas." He was really famous in he took the act to the Moulin Rouge in 1892.
He had a remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to fart at will. He was called the "fartist". Some of the highlights of his stage act involved playing a flute through a rubber tube in his anus, farting sound effects of cannon fire and thunderstorms as well as farting La Marseillaise. He could also blow out a candle from several yards away.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
If the "gas" escaping should be colored blue, almost every single living person would have a blue cloud at there "behind"
I wrote this in addition with classical gas.

Sometimes you see albums with really weird or stupid titles, you want an example?
MADONNA has an album called MUSIC, isn't she active as singer IN music? So why this title.
This one I love:
- ELTON JOHN with Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy as title.
If I hear this title I have always a smile on my face: BRYAN HYLAND with
"Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"
Another one I love is AMY WINEHOUSE singing about REHAB .
Country song titles are great too = Get Your Tongue Outta My Mouth Cause I'm Kissing You Goodbye by JOHN DENVER. He also has a song called 5 CONSTIPATED MEN, and his prophecy song I'M LEAVING ON A JET PLANE.
HAVE FUN

Topic: GIBSON MELODY MAKER versus LES PAUL JUNIOR (2 replies, posted in Electric)
Can someone tell me the difference between these 2 guitars?
I believe they both have 1 single coil pick-up.
MORE IMPORTANT:
- Is the MM or the JUNIOR designed for a specific style in music?
- EXAMPLE: blues? Rock?
A Melody Maker beats a lot of guitars if you consider the price, is it worth to buy a MM? Again because I don't have a clue about the "target group" of guitar players.
There is also a "discontinued" model of the MM with dual pick-ups.
