Oh yeah, he's a weird dude.

I like his music though.

Anonus · 2014-11-12 20:51:25

why would you smash guitars onstage when you could use them as weapons :P

Aliroz · 2014-11-12 20:52:27

I just don't like most rock-and-roll people. The whole Do Drugs, Have Tons of Sex, Drive Drunk, And Do Everything Except Set Your Guitar On Fire thing.

...

Crud, I just probably gave someone an idea, there.

Odradek · 2014-11-12 20:53:56

I'm sure someone has set their guitar on fire.

Imipolex G · 2014-11-12 20:55:13

Jimi Hendrix is the most famous guitar incinerator.

Hendrix did it.

And ninja'd.

Imipolex G · 2014-11-12 20:55:28

As for Prince I am largely indifferent.

oh my

Obā-san · 2014-11-12 22:38:11

IIRC it retailed for a lot more too

Klinotaxis · 2014-11-12 22:46:59

does the "open labs" name mean its open hardware or somethin

Obā-san · 2014-11-12 22:47:49

nah it's just the name of the company

Yarrun XIX · 2014-11-12 22:59:08

A few of the freshmen in my dorm have mini-dry-erase boards on their doors. They being freshman, these boards are often covered in gratuitous male genitalia. Yes, I know I'm being overly euphemistic. i don't feel like being blunt right now.

The point is that one of them now has the famous DICK BUTT doodle on it, and it makes me significantly more happy than the usual stuff that's on that one.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-11-12 23:01:27

The Rolling Stones, I believe, once loaded their drum set with more pyrotechnics than expected, and Jagger nearly got blown away.

Served them right, I suppose.

No wonder everyone is trying to get "moves like Jagger", he dodged an explosion.

I think that was The Who, actually.

SF_Sorrow · 2014-11-12 23:09:50

Yarrun XIX · 2014-11-12 23:12:56

Hang on, so that piano had a legitimate soundboard, and a keyboard, and they destroyed it.

Goodness. It's one thing to destroy a thing of wood and metal, but that's technology! Significantly harder to salvage!

Obā-san · 2014-11-12 23:18:14

it had a built in computer capable of running windows so it could run VSTs

Yarrun XIX · 2014-11-12 23:19:24

They destroyed an actual computer.

That

Hrm

Obā-san · 2014-11-12 23:22:20

Obā-san · 2014-11-12 23:25:02

the person doing the destroying is Richard Devine btw

Prince is, if I'm not mistaken, a Jehovah's Witness. For a very high-profile rock musician, he's kind of a Boy Scout. I mean, sure he writes some really raunchy songs, but I don't think he even drinks. Like, at all.

petition to refer to Prince as The Musician Formerly Known as The Musician Formerly Known as Prince

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-11-13 00:18:29

How about "that guy who wrote 'When Doves Cry' or whatever." Or "tiny purple man with guitar."

by which I mean the building literally filled with specialized circuits running SHA-whatever hashes day in and day out got to like 70something degrees celsius before combusting

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-13 00:35:42

does anyone check my writing thread? No one ever comments in it.

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-11-13 00:40:51

I assumed that it was just, y'know, a thread for your writing. Commenting would clutter it.

Obā-san · 2014-11-13 00:41:29

i read it but i am in no position to give writing feedback

you should ask the beau about that, he knows how to do words

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-13 00:41:58

I suppose that is a sensical thing to think.

I wouldn't mind either way, and other people read it so it's not a huge deal in any direction, I was just curious. I like to know that my work is experienced because I am a huge baby and require validation.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-11-13 00:52:55

This week isn't really a good week for critiquing stuff. Or next week. Maybe around thanks giving.

I didn't know that.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-11-13 01:00:24

IIRC, the JW thing is fairly recent. Like, after his primacy years. 2001, to be specific

He's also a vegetarian.

Obā-san · 2014-11-13 01:01:07

i really want a burger right now ;_;

It is, but if I'm not mistaken he's always been pretty restrained when it comes to the stereotypical rock star excesses, particularly when touring. A consummate professional, as it were. Odd guy, but credit where credit is due. That, and he really is an exceptional guitarist.

A lot of that can apply to Beck too, IIRC.

Just replace "Jehovah's Witness" with "Scientology" and scratch the guitar thing.

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-11-13 01:19:15

Beck being a Scientologist dances on this weird boundary between funny, mildly unsettling, and completely logical.
