i THINK bILL SHOULD DO sTAIRWAY TO hEAVEN BY lED zEPPELIN. hE COULD USE THIS 1940S MOVIE WHICH HAS SOME GREAT bRIT ACTORS. iF NOT, DAMN IT, i'LL DO IT!
oR MAYBE DO THE BLUES -- BUT SOMETHING NEW. i'M ASKING, i'M PLEADING, STRETCH YOUR WINGS UPWARD. tAKE A CHANCE ON SOMETHING NEW. fLAMING dESIRE WAS NEW WITH THE WHITE MASKS (ACTING A BIT AMATEURISH) BUT NOBODY WAS DOING IT. iT WAS A BOLD STEP. aND THERE IS A TON OF EXCELLENT FILMS READY TO BE USED.
rEMEMBER: THE MOON IS FOR LOVERS AND THE STARS ARE FOR LONELY PEOPLE.
ACTORS.
Vlad you are a narcissistic cunt .... please do everyone a favour and fuck off .... there now l feel better 😊
Wow- that was ugly. I dont recall anything remotely as nasty or venomous coming from The Count, whatever his faults may be or inability to filter.. Glad it made you feel good about yourself. Thats undoubtedly a challenge for the obsessive middle aged fanboy types, Im sure.
I'm glad you feel better. I'm asking Bill to try something new. I didn't know that was a big crime. If it is a big crime or an unspoken community bylaw I'll stop.
My response has nothing to do with asking questions..... it’s how the question(s) are framed that l have a huge problem with. Your posts are generally accusatory and self aggrandizing ... l generally ignore your posts .... but this one is so grossly disgusting in that you capitalize letters and use lower case letters .... you do realize that Bill has a degenerative eye condition and writes in Caps so he can actually see what is written.... that typos are inevitable...to mock this is unforgivable.... and your “question” regarding doing something “new” is just another symbol of what can only be creative envy .... he has released over 120 albums of incredibly beautiful music .... ok enough of this .... move on
No I didn't realize Bill's eye condition and that was not the reason I wrote this post that way. It was me doing what I was saying -- trying something new. Further, I realize that there are a lot of 1940s films in the public domain and I know this is the time period that Bill is generally interested in. So I'm suggesting that he can capitalize on this. Yes, I would like to see him doing blues and covers. And I would think a lot of other guitar players on this site would too, seeing that they know his tastes and are into the same music. Bill has experimented with country (think Noise Candy) so why not the blues?
I have said most of this in my previous posts and if you had read them you would have known better and would not make these wild accusations. It is you who has the accusative tone. I have been very complimentary of Bill and give him the full credit that he deserves. Sometimes my praise is mixed with criticism but that is just me being honest about how I see things. We can't always expect to see things exactly the same way and sometimes tastes vary. But we should be big enough to accept differences, especially in a forthright conversation between adults.
tHERE ARE QUItE A FEW 'BLUES' tRACKS aMONGST MY ALBUMS. pERHAPS YOU'VE NEVER HEARd tHEM. Catch up, kid! 😜 BY THE WAY, YOU SHOULD DO 'STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN' YOURSELF. IT'S JUST NOT MY TASTE I'M AFRAID.
nICE oNe bILl! 👍😁
Thanks for imitating my lettering style -- I see you're in good spirits. No I can't think of any strictly blues pieces in your repertoire. I think I only heard you play blues one time with BBD and was surprised to hear it. Personally, I'm not a big blues fan. If my record collection was my musical soul you'd see less that 5% devoted to the blues. I like it now and then -- more so then than now -- and I have no big appetite for it.
Yes, I think I will do "Stairway to Heaven." And maybe even incorporate riding the escalator in the department store of God (love the la la la la section). The above movie "A Matter of Life and Death" was actually titled "Stairway to Heaven" in the US when it came out in the 1940s. There is some great black and white footage of a stairway/escalator to heaven. I though you'd be interested in giving a unique twist to both the music and the visuals. Anyway, I will give it a go and see what develops.
Vlad.....just a few thoughts that may help you out a little on this ….
Firstly, most people on this site are middle aged folk, comfortable in their own skins, who are neither looking for cod 'edgy' philosophies, or scrambled thoughts which tire us out rather than promote solid and cognitive stimulation......we left all that behind in our formative years. We're a little smarter than that, and bemoan too much self - indulgence that smacks of an age who should know better......
Secondly, making multiple suggestions as to what Bill should do is , quite frankly, embarrassing, and you should pretty much stop that now....this may have escaped your notice, but Bill is quite capable of working independently of all of us.....we're the recipients - not the advisors!
Finally, if you have any personal videos or anything else self - indulgent that you feel you wish to share, you should put them on the forum for general discussion.
So.…..get a decent night's sleep, and a proper breakfast - who knows what it might do for you...…….
There is a room for this sort of thing, The World and His Wife. It is where artists discuss their works.
Vlad /Zeus /bLINDEYE ..roadie , give up the dream ... you demand instead of embrace ..you are fkn rude and disrespectful and sly ... keep taking the tablets (the delusional ones )
and stop pretending to be one of the Krypt Kickers
There's an old saying that familiarity breeds contempt. When I'm posting on this forum I always remember how I got into Bill's music via BeBop Deluxe and how things have continued for me since then. Who on this forum has the right to question such an iconic guitarist, singer and composer? It's a bit like telling Robert Fripp that he should play a bit faster.
As fans of Bill we are fortunate that he communicates with us about all aspects of his music and life. He is also coming to terms to the sad loss of his mother so perhaps consideration and kindness to another human being are the order of the day.
Perhaps you should listen to Jeff Beck instead (no disrespect to JB intended)
