I hope you are speaking for yourself when you say people in britain because I am in britain and I would disagree with you.

so you could rephrase your reply by saying "I dont read questios properly"

that way you are not insulting every person in britain.

Doc,
Damn good question!!!
Whydo bands or record companies, or both do this?

My guess is maybe it was first made in th UK and "see Emily play" was not ready for recording so they rushed through with the others, then when it came to releasing it abroad they had See Emily play recorded?
I dunno, or maybe like said it is to do wit hwhat the reord companies think a particular audience would like to hear? but then I tihnk all fans in the 60's would have loved to have see emily play on the first album.

I really must invite Roger Waters  up here for a few beers and whiskies and quiz him a lot about everything,lol

if you really want to play on your own best thing to do is first, make sure no one is around

I love punk music, or some of it.
I love stiff little fingers ( as I keep saying all the time) without them GReen Day would sound a lot different, they were heavily infuenced by SLF. Not only were they punk singing abot anti establishment songs etc ,they also were big fans of reggie and done quite a few reggie songs. Jake burns got this idea and sond from The Clash, a superb punk band until the record company got their way and dictated to them.
Malcom MacLaren ( even though a manager) was infuenced for things different by The pink Floyds singer/songwriter....Yep, my old pal SYD barrett,he named syd vicious with Syd Barrett in mind. He loved Syd's zany behaviour and told Syd vicious how to act a lot of the time.
The ramones is a punk band I never really got into even though I am told time and time again they were superb, maybe  should get a few albums?

however on the other side of punk, which influenced thrash metal, I cannot stand, though a few songs from a few bands are ok.
The exploited, a punk band from early 80's now still going as a thrash metal band but still do those "hate them but got to love them" old punk songs.

Then there is the "pop" punks like Adam and the ants.
also the stranglers, they were very good and turned into sort of poppy punk.

there is a lot more to punk music than just rude behaviour, spiky hair, sery words etc.

And now I am going to do a newthread on more punk music,lol

Ken

Upyerkit4fun is my nickname on it.

Eric Clapton said in an interview that after the isle of white festival just before Jimmy died that he and Jimmy had plans to either jam or actually do something together, He was saddened he never.

also while on the subject of Mr Hendrix.
In March 1992 ( i tihnk, or 1991) I thought Jimmy hendrix was alive.
I was well blootered out my face at the red hot chili peppers gig in the glasgow barrowlands ( before they became very comercialised). I cannot remember most of the gig but I do remember hearing their last song, or one of their encores "cross town traffic". Taht made me jump up and shout JIMMY!!!!. then I realised I was not at a jimmy hendrix gig after all.
thats about all I remember of the gig. I dont even remember if it was a good version or not,lol.

ahhh,
I misread your reply DocPhil, appologies
that makes a bit more sense.

but jokes and joking is always good, it makes people smile ( most times) and anything that makes someone smile must be good.

Firstly para,
He doesnt have to report you. I watch over every topic in y sections, bu i see nothing that you have said that should get reported. I do think you were a bit soft on the guitar doc.
I would have taken his comments as cheek.
"Conclusion: you correct, but there are a lot more factors: BRAIN, INFLUENCE, and probably genetics. Try Google, and look for ARTISTIC CENTRE IN THE BRAIN.
I really hope that this answer is a good one for you"

maybe it was an attempt at humour?

anyway,

I think I my wife has music in her blood, she can pick up somgs very quickly and correctly and is damn good at improvising, her dad is very tallented too, Guitar,banjo,mandolin,bodhran,violin, keyboard as well as a few others. His dad, also played instruments, but thats all I know about him, so on my wifes side, they have musical blood.

Ken
