He played pretty much all the instruments on his recordings and only really used a band for live work.

Played a piano like Rubinstein and had pretty much mastered the guitar as well.

His song writing and style were years ahead of the pack as well. Nearly 30 years on and the Sign of the Times album still sounds fresh - and why wouldn't it when everyone since has been trying to emulate it.

Much like Bowie, Prince was a once in a life time musician / artist who will be talked about and studied for a very long time.

yeah but theres a difference between you not liking someone, which is absolutely correct, and them being 'overrated'.
i mean, 100 million albums, Grammys and an Oscar are probably a good indicators that plenty of people rated him quite highly.

and I'm with you on Zeppelin and the Who (some Stones stuff is ok) but you can't call them overrated.

[Jetmaster]

I think we need to look at some of the things they have contributed to modern music Plague - sure you might not like the sounds, or think they are over-rated. Personally, I am no fan of Led Zep and can't stand "Stairway", but I acknowledge the influence they had on many young metal bands to come.

The Stones made everyone aware of the original blues roots of rock and developed the "stadium gig" to the money spinner it is now. Jagger was the first real "frontman" of rock.

The Who made Marshall's what they are now, had the greatest bass player of all time and one of rocks most influential songwriters - Townshend even predicted the internet in 1970 when he wrote "Lifehouse".

As for longevity - who are we to say when a band should pack it in? As long as they are physically capable, enjoy it and have punters willing to pay why stop? The baby boomer bands are going to places where nobody else has thanks to longer life spans - will be interesting to see if anyone follows.

Music is a culture of very differing opinions - it's the beauty of it.

But if someone thinks that zepplin, hendrix or beiber are sh1t, it isnt wrong (maybe a bit naive), its your opinion against theirs. You might love Bros and I will say cool even if I might not. If there is pioneer then it probs does give a bit more weight to their craft of being good even if it is only a societal influence. I think music technicality must carry some weight also. hit that perfect beat boy

[plague]

Yeah I'm with that.
Especially considering of all the iconic performers of that generation (which would be a group consisting of Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna) you would have to say Prince was by far the best technical musician, and by far the more prolific songwriter.

2 pretty big categories I'd say.

MJ was the better singer and performer, and Madonna the better marketer.

See my post above of Jascha Heifetz . There is no argument he is the greatest musician to have ever been recorded.

You could then talk about the best at a specific instrument. Dennis Brain perhaps would be regarded as the greatest horn player of all time without anyone else coming near him.

Cello - You can argue between Casals or Rostropovich - but there are a lot of people that come near enough to fool the casual observer.

Get to Piano and Guitar and it really does come down to opinions and preferences because there is not a lot of difference between a large class of players. Same as with drums or Bass...and so on.

My favourite guitarists are Townsend, Hendrix, Richards, and Malcolm Young. There are many out there better technically than this lot - but riff wise it would be hard to find anyone else to match them.

Yeah I'm with that.

True. And of that three I'd say Prince and Madonna are still relevant. MJ's music was past its use by date five years after it was released. Try listening to Thriller these days. It's not easy.

Yeah but Off the Wall is MJs best album and still killer. There's just some fantastic proper pop songs on there, but from memory he really only wrote about half of it.

I'd probably take a Michael Jackson concert in his prime over just about any live experience from that era.

Edit: but I'd also say that a Prince live even last month would be as good as it was 20 years ago and I doubt there's many other pop figures you could say that about.

No no, what I'm saying is that take any popular musician (whether you like them or not) and compare their live performance 20 years ago to now and I think the list of people who are comparable would be real small.

MJ towards the end was nothing of his old self, Madonna doesn't even try and staples like Farnham, Billy Joel, Metallica are shadows of their former selves.

The examples I gave were ones I thought were at least consistent, and it highlighted how great Prince was live that he still blew doors every night.

[MFKS]

Performing live and putting an album out are two different things


There are many artists who out on a great show but their work in the studio is average conversely there are many who put in great performance in a studio but cant do it live

Also comparing people 20years ago to now is a bit harsh. People have kids families partners and have different interests as they age.

Some of those performers you slate as not being as good now more than likely not have the motivation to go out night after night and conquer the world. They have done it and would rather kick back counting their millions doing other things most of the time

Ok. On that note then as a live act the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, and The Who can still pretty much destroy everyone else live. Sure they are not what they were vocally but musically they have very tight rhythm sections that most of todays bands can only dream of having.

Oh and The Jackson 5 even without MJ are still pretty awesome - again - Because they are such great musicians.

Leonard Cohen is pushing towards 80 and is still fabulous live.

Most notable of those that no longer have it is Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green. His fall from being one of the greatest guitarists on the planet to being a mere shadow of his former self is very sad indeed.

Same as in Football you can respect SAF as he done it at high standard for years and regularly found success. Compare him to Wenger who has also been doing at a high level for years but is bludging off what he achieved 15 years ago

Doesn't make Wenger any less of a great manager

Back on topic. WGMG is that nobody seems to make decent running shoes anymore. Most of the shit I've tried is little more than a glorified ballet shoe. I started wearing Puma and adidas when they were made in Germany, Nike when they were made in USA, and Reebok when they were made in England. Today the shit appears to be made under licence in the cheapest available sweat shop.

I'm totally over this made in Vietnam / Indonesia / China shit. Poor quality, woeful fit / consistency of sizes... and so on.

[Jetmaster]

Football laws...would like some feedback. I feel the laws are too complicated and are ruining the game. The main ones I have issue with....

Handball - it used to be simple, if the hand moves toward the ball deliberately it's handball. All this rubbish about un-natural positions etc makes it far too subjective. You should be able to protect yourself too.

Holding in the box - you put your arms around someone at a corner, penalty. Why does it just get totally ignored now and we see WWF at each corner?

Tackle from behind - was originally brought in to stop Gentile types scything studs up from behind on Maradona types which was fair enough. But now a fair tackle with the bootlaces, getting the ball is a foul (a la Boogs).

Physical contact - harden up. Arms flail when jumping for the ball, knees go into backs, there are (legal) shoulder charges - all part of the game. But poofs roll on the ground and get free kicks and yellow cards for offenders.

Offside - go back to the old rule. Only offside if you play the ball.

Watch some games from the 70's - any league. Never seemed to do any more people harm than now.

[GazFish35]

Have you read the new rule book released a few weeks ago?



Also... WGMG, inadvertent homophobia. Sick of dealing with the serious results of people's lack of value on the impact on others of the words they choose to use.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Handball- this is to prevent things like birraz a few seasons ago when he came out like a massive X and jumped at the kicker and it hit his arm and he was sent. Like is this ok? Cause the ball hit his arm? Like defenders can use their arms to make themselves look bigger and harder to get around. Next we will have defenders with hands up in the walls, but sir, my arm was there the whole time, the ball hit it...
Holding - agree, I think a lot of it is 2 ways. Skrtel used to rugby tackle players to the ground.

The offside one is interesting. Defenders crying wolf has probably lead to this being changed a lot.

[MFKS]

The offside one is just complete garbage.

Passive offside can see a bloke get a 10 yard head start on his marker.

Ball gets played down the flank. Early ball in

The bloke in the offside position is then advantaged by being offside.

Happens far too often.


Yet you see ridiculous offsides pulled up where an attacker is offside and runs back towards his own goal and is on half way and gets pulled up when he receives the ball and nothing is happening. We get a needless free kick when no one got an advantage

[GazFish35]

I reckon the advantage for the attacker in that situation comes from bind able to "arrive from nowhere" effectively being able to blindside a defender by being behind him - in an illegal position.

[MFKS]

I reckon the advantage for the attacker in that situation comes from bind able to "arrive from nowhere" effectively being able to blindside a defender by being behind him - in an illegal position.

Most of the time in this situation the defender knows exactly where the striker is and is just beaten to the ball by the striker

Add in that most of the time in this scenario the attacker is usually only a yard from being onside and if is a bit picking technicality that just sees play needlessly stopped by a free kick

Completely needless delay where neither team is actually impacted.

Those watching are the ones who see a needless restart added thanks to some useless ****ing rule

Just getting tired of counseling suicidal teenagers still discovering their sexuality and terrified of coming out as they are fearful of their sexuality being accepted by anyone beyond their imitate friendship circle because of the way words like poof, poofter, faggot and gay are used so loosely by so many as a derogatory comment.

The English language has so many other verbs, nouns and adjectives we can use to describe and insult each other with.

Maybe I'll feel differently if I get to go a week without having to deal with a young person struggling with feeling accepted.

It's not narrow at the top really. The problem is the bus stop on either side of the road.
The buses pull up there to pick up drop off passengers and people cross the unbroken lines drive on the wrong side of road to overtake

Simple solution would be to remove the bus stops or to move them to a more suitable location or fine the motorists breaking the law

Point 1) I like to get in early as there is nothing worse than assholes taking up the overhead compartment with the 57 bags they snuck through Stevie Wonder on the gate. Especially on international I don't want to be trudging up the aisle to get shit out of my backpack during a flight. The spot above my seat is mine and I'll thrown hands with anyone who tries to take it.

Point 2) you are 100% spot on. In fact we have a game where everyone in our crew on a flight gets to pick which asshole is first to jump out of their seat before the seatbelt sign goes off on arrival. Its great for end of season trips as 20 blokes point and laugh at some idiot standing there. Highly recommend it.

Some must think point 1 is a status symbol - two weeks ago I got on at Brissy and was about 20th in line. Made my way to my seat, no bags at all - one guy already in his aisle seat buckled up, I was window seat. The looks and the huffing and puffing as I dared an "excuse me".

Nah, it's a convenience thing. If you're on a long flight (6hrs+) you don't want to be walking up and down aisles getting stuff from your backpack because the flight attendant made you put it somewhere else.

[pv4]

How often do you jerks get shit out of your bags :rof:

I do hate the jerks who steal the spot above your seat though. Had a bloke across the aisle, and a row back, put his bag in my spot once (and basically the whole cabin was free) because "he liked to have a good view of the spot his bag was". I then put my bag directly above him, and made a point of getting shit out of it multiple times not through need but just to wind him up :rof:

[plague]

How often do you jerks get shit out of your bags :rof:


It's better than being that asshole that gets EVERYTHING out pre-flight and sets up a base camp.
Headphones, media player, spare water.
Then sometimes if you gotta work you get your laptop out.
Jumper, socks etc.

You just let the mood of the flight guide you. Legroom is vital, why clog it up with shit you don't need?

Also, if there's no one in my row but some asshole has his bag in my spot I have no qualms at all pushing that bag out of my way to get my preferred spot. It also sends a clear message to the plane that I am not a man to be messed with. I feel it sets a good tone. Let's everyone understand that "I am the captain now".

[pv4]

Alright, Youssef Hersei :rof:

If I travelling OS and have checked well I am also in a hurry to get to the immigration queues. Last thing I want to be doing is getting stuck behind a plane load of people

You can sit waiting making calls for all I care just don't hold me up

Your right about the halfwords though who charge onto a plane to have to wait.
I always in the last 10% now.

What's the point of getting on early and then having to wait for some twat to get up and get shit out of their bag holding 100 other people up??

Stroll on at your l leisure and go sit down


As for Plagues remark about people getting too much shit out of bag.

Better to be that person than the prat who sits in the terminal for an hour doing nothing and then gets on the plane and after everyone is seated and ready has to get up as in the hour they were in the terminal wasnt enough time to get that one ****ing item out of the bag that they need


What's more irritating is the ****ing prats who get off the plane and walk at a tenth of the pace they can. I am purposely walking to stretch the body out and don't want to be held up by some dense ****s walking 3 abreast at a snail's pace

[Jetmaster]

What about the twits who on takeoff jump up and run to the toilet as soon as the seatbelt sign goes off? Can't you piss before boarding?

Lock themselves in for 10 mins (on a 60 min trip to Mel/Bris) - I reckon they are keen to get a mile high wank in to say they've done it.....

I get up as soon as plane pulls to a halt.

I frigging hate a-holes who do that.

Unless you've got a connecting flight with a ridiculously short turn around what's the hurry.

[q-money]

if you want to get off so bad why don't you just get a seat at the back (if yer on a domestic) or closer to the front of the plane? the 10 bucks or whatever is a small price to pay if you're OCD enough to worry about it

I do that

Always book aisle seat at front of plane

Got ****ed over taking a domestic flight around Thailand in May

Was on one of those 80 seater things. You know the ones Hawk has a private jet

****s had the door at the back Here I was at the front

As I said if travel domestic i have carry on and am on my way straight away

If traveling Internationally I want to get to the Customs ASAP

Last time I landed in LoS I landed in Phuket

First time there and didn't know the joint obviously
Dickheads with Jetstar didn't give an Arrival Card on the plane so it was every man for himself at the desks before Customs

Being familiar with the LoS immigration requirements I was ready to rumble and was in the first 10 done

My reward was joining a very short queue.
15 mins later I had a Sim Card activated in my phone and was in my pre booked taxi after getting entry stamp and collecting luggage


Whilst waiting for luggage i noticed at least 2 fights rock up with well over 500 people in the hall

Those ****ers who took their time would have still been there when I was checked into my hote after an hour's drivel and off to 7-11 to get some Chang and supplies

You ****ers want to take your time getting off planes be my guest.

I would be backing it has something to do with nerves of flying.

I not know about you but when I nervous i need to piss more often. Also coupled that with being in a sitting position also gets my bladder working well

What amazes me is the ****s who sit on planes for 10 hours and never once get up and go for a walk or a piss.

Dumb ****s if you ask me.

Can't be good for them to sit cooped u for that time

Sounds to me like you get stressed over blokes like me

Me I know what stresses me.

Spending needless time in an airport.

I go on holiday to enjoy myself and I on holiday the second I walk out of the Arrivals Hall and am free to do and go where ever I like.

Not being stuck in the airport for a minute longer than necessary is my plan

If you think I running around like a blue arse fly when then plane lands you got it wrong. I just walking with purpose with my plan on my mind. Unlike the other people who get off the plane and like to **** arse about

If you sign up and pay by credit card, it auto-renews until you cancel it.

Just call/email them and tell them you want to cancel it or want to go monthly (love this option).

to be fair, he's improved his handling skills a bit, that descent where he gapped everyone while pedalling through in a tuck was ugly but took massive nads

See I don't see the fascination with window seats.

For short flights of 1-2 hours then they have value but for long haul efforts your view is good for 10-15 mins per flight

Trade off is you are cramped up by the plane wall and the fat ****er in the middle seat

On the aisle seat you are free to get up whenever you like not boxed in on one side and the aisle can be used for extra legroom

Yeah see i hear this a lot.

But

You say you are free to get up when you want but you also have to get up when either of the other 2 passengers wants to get up. And trust me, I don't give a shit if you're eating or asleep, if Plague wants to go pee pee your ass is getting out of that seat.

Window only moves when window wants to move. Window dictates terms.

Also, as boring as the view out the window might get at night, it's better than staring at crotch or ass in your face all flight from people standing up getting shit out of the overhead.

Also this precious extra space of the aisle is crap as you are always having to tuck your leg in whenever someone trudges past or the drinks cart makes an appearance.

Listen man, I know it's cool to be the aisle guy, but window rules the flight. It's a fact.

If the bloke in the aisle seat i a a fat **** and knocked out by medication and don't stir when you decide to wake him explain what you going to do beside piss your pants??

Your window seat requires the aisle seat to comply with your requests

That the man who have the power.

He is free to get up when he wants you on the other hand are reliant on 1 possibiliy 2 people complying with your requests to let you pass

So who has the power??

As for the aisle use for extra room well you do have to move when carts or people come past but it is free real estate that is yours to use and not available to you on the window

I wouldn't leave my legs out there the entire time. Just everyone and then throw them out there

Yeah as for viewing arse or crotch at close range that easy to deal with. Either look at your monitor or I can look out your ****ing window


Now moving along to the important stuff.

When is it OK to recline

As far as I am concerned as soon as the first meal is over and cleaned up it is going back the full way. To the **** behind me they can deal with it

Look man in all my years of flying I've never not been able to get a mother****er to get up when I want out.

Your medicated overweight straw man doesn't work round me.

and trust me I'm prepared to piss on another human being if a have to. Having the will to urinate on someone gives me absolute power. Plus, a urine soaked stubborn bastard refusing to get up will still be in the wrong according to all FAA and societies rules.

As for reclining.

Firstly let me congratulate you on bringing up the best question on the Foz since Biraz v BK. You are a genius.

The answer is interesting.

Any flight sub 3 hours is a def no.

If it's an overnight flight I'm with you as once the meal is done and it's night time then there is an acceptance than reclining will happen.

Any other circumstances and be warned that reclining in front of me will result in my tray being put up and down very violently at least once every 3 mins until you learn some manners.

[pv4]

With you there on the reclining plague.

Tbh my rule with reclining is I do whatever the person in front of me does. I can handle no inclination unless the person in front of me does - then I consider it the domino effect and if I'm hit up about it from behind I blame the guy in front of me

Speed humps on the street

Some halfwords have actually installed some speed humps on a rather large hilly street near by

The road in question isn't renowned for accidents matter of fact I can barely remember a fender smash

I can understand the downhill section to slow traffic in some concession
But to put 5 of the ****ers on the uphill section when most cars are struggling up in 2nd gear defies logic

Update


Started off a couple of weeks ago

Someone plugged through two of them one night knocking the dividing thing in the centre of the road completely out

As a result you can now drive between the two of them and not go over the ****ers

Then a 3rd went then a 4th.

Finally the last one went and I can now go up and down the hill again without going over one of the ****ers

:sigh: sorry to hear that mate. Is the furniture salvageable? I'm sure there are some people on here who are handy with timber who could possibly help restore it. I know that's not the point, and it's a pretty petty act.
