why should his private life be up for discussion?
Would anyone here like folk to bad mouth them when they do not not them?

Does anyone persoanlly know Michael jackson to properly comment on him and how whacko he is or isnt?
Are people just commenting from the stuff they have read or seen from the media? which could be all propaganda, even though it might not be.

My thoughts on him is he made some great songs in the past, even though I would never go out and buy them or even play them, but I respect what he has done for the muic scene in his own rights,
He is or was and maybe still is a good dancer I tihnk, not that I am an expert at how good a person is at dancing.

I think when he dangled the wean from the balcony was wrong but a hundred thousand fathers do a lot worse to their kids yet nothing is heard from them
Just because someone is famous does not give us the right to slag them off.

just my thoughts.

But see his sister....Latoya, she is gorgeous but that other one Janet, she is a right proper weirdo

good luck Russell.

Roger,

I got this sent to me in my work. I was expecting to see someone get eaten and ready for a laugh.
I emailed back the person that sent me it say I was disapointed in the result,lol.

ken

you have asked this before I am sure???

These names you mention have been about for ages and you can look at them and see what they have done. bands today will have to wait longer to see what they have achievec, so ye might have to wait 30 more years to answer this question.

But from the 90's and still going strong you have oasis, greenday, and a few more but I dont listen to much modern day stuff so I cannot continue with that list ,:lol:

also, the music scene is completely different in sound and the way it is run so you may never get anymore bands like stones, elton john, ac dc, clapton.

Lieven some make it and some dont is purely down to what P.R. and airplay they get.
Record companies mostly dictate who is and who isnt cool. Same as the image etc, it is not the band so much as it is their gurus telling them what to wear, what to say when to say it, where to say it.

But with more use of the internet abnds if lucky enough can make it on their own.

A few that I know of that have used the internet in a big way to get started are Sandi Thom, she started doing live gigs from her house and broadcasting it live on the web, she got such a huge amount of hits that record companies started taking notice of her, then bought her over,lol.

Arctic monkeys released all their material for people to share before their very successful debut album was released.

David Bowie I think it was, was the first person to release a song on the internet, couldnt get it anywhere else meaning the record company had less of a say.

Radiohead decided to release an album recently on the web and let folk decide how much they wanted to pay for it. tom York the singer, paid 1 pence for it.

there will be a lot more but not enough. But if you get too much and the record companies get left out then i think it would be harder to find really good bands that will pull in thousands of fans for a gig in one area.

Thank you for your honest reply and sorry it had to come off. I thought it was fantastic lyrics.

You can only post things like that on chordie that is your own work. This will save any potential arguments etc from the artist should they or a record company ever see it on chordie.

The other songs on chordie are hosted on different sites, this is why we can have other artists songs. But nothing get posted directly onto chordie.

Sorry

Is this an actual music/guitar question or just a simple why are people so religious?

pffttt

I am sure through google it will answer all religious questions. or the very many religious sites that are online. I thought and I know this is a music site.

This is not even a question just on music in a church which would not be as bad, but then we have went through quite a few threads on music in church.

im not hurt by the original questions, i am just sick of seeing them, same old questions arising on a music site

just my point of view

ken

And Lena's berries and nuts is two
so ye will all have to think again.

ONE food.

Hi,
I used to tune my wife's violin all the time before she decided to give it a go herslef. She manages fine now.

They are quite tricky to tune because of the tuning pegs. They should make them like guitar tuning pegs, no idea why they dont but I am sure there will be a good reason.
OK, The way I do it.
When I tighten the string up to roughly what it should be by the use of a tuner, one that tunes through vobrations I then push the peg in by pushing and twisting to keep it in place. The you use the fine tune adjust at the other end. Sometimes it gets very annoying when the fine tune is already as tight or as loose as it can go and you have to then readjust the main tuning peg after adjusting the fine tuning part.

She has an electric violin as well as an acoustic and this has no fine tuning on it and is near impossible to tune and keep it in tune, so we dont use that. I should sell it on some auction site that I got it off.

As for the strings, it is just tuned the same way as a mandolin ( violinists usually make pretty good mandolin players from what i have seen)
From the top ( thickest) to the bottom ( thinnest)  it is as james says it is.

Make sure you have plenty of resin on your bow too or it will just screech along the strings or worse it will slide over and not make much noise at all.

Good luck, I gave up trying this instrument after 15 minutes
