spinal tap moments and other curiosities

Hi Phil,

I am a little unsure of what you are asking here. If you have an amusing story to relate about Electric, Acoustic, Songwriting etc. then post it in the appropriate section.

If you think there should be a new section for things unrelated to music then post a message in About Chordie or e-mail Pere at admin@chordie.com if you wish to make a private request.

If by 'funny' you mean things that should not be happening on Chordie then again a posting in the apprpriate section or an e-mail to Pere is the way to go.

If I have completely misunderstood you may I apologise in advance. Please feel free to e-mail me if I can be of assistance.

Roger

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the clarifiation. As you now realise Pere is the only person able to do this.

I do know that at the moment, since the changes to Chordie, he is extremely busy. I am certain he will have seen your request and may, or may not, be able to comment at the moment.

Rest assured that it will be noted and remembered. Just as the sorting of songbook by amount of editing has just come into being after being mentioned weeks ago.

Even though on the surface the Forum seems little changed since the update, there are many things that are different behind the scenes and I would think that Pere will want to make sure that it is all running smoothly before making changes.

I hope that makes the situation a little clearer.

Thank you,

Roger

Who was the guitarist that got electrocuted on stage???  It's puzzlimg me at the mo.
I keep thinking of the geezer from Free, but know it wasn't him. 

Craig.

How about 'Encore' (as in a little bit more) - maybe too obtuse?
How about 'Odd Riffs' - maybe also too strange?
Haw about 'Backstage Gossip & General Mayhem' . . . . ?

A new category (thanks James) and a new forum (thanks Roger).

As an experiment, I am allowing non-members to post messages in this forum.

Go see a concert: "the rolling stones", yes THE STONES. Or watch it on dvd.
Although they are playing for centuries, it takes at least 15 minutes before they don't play together in an harmonious way. When they start with "start me up" Jagger will always sing start me up to soon, to late and or false. And KEITH "RIFF" RICHARDS is not longer the super guitar player, since he felt down from that tree in 2006. Still, (I love the music) I have an admiration for those guys. Who among all the chordians has not a relative around 63 years old, sitting the whole day in a chair: it is amazing the way JAGGER still jumps and is running on stage. I am convinced that every gig he is producing so much adrenalin to do this. I know, from standing on stage behind the curtains in front of a crowd like 100.000 people, that I get as non player the same adrenalin shot (probably not that strong) and I admit that seeing and feeling it, seeing so many people in "fire" for their idols, it affects you entirely, even so strong that you start dreaming and thinking: I wish it was all for me.
I just tasted it several times, and I swear the feeling you experience is impossible to write it down in a correct way.

Roger - thanks for the site its great - I'm telling all my friends

1972: Leslie Harvey, guitarist of Stone the Crows was electrocuted on stage by a live microphone.

died while practicing his electric guitar, electrocuted because the guitar was not properly grounded, a more famous name: KEITH RELF former singer for the British group the Yardbirds. This happened in 1976

I love the fact that "chordians" and "non- chordians" love the site. At this moment, I make different topics like facts 2     facts3
Maybe we (you) can leave it maybe a short while, and after a few days we put them all together in 1 big topic.
I want you still to know that all the stuff I write IS TRUE and can be checked, on wikipedia or other sites. I am just continuing
