[quote name='crag42' timestamp='1413482628' post='2578775'] I'm a big hendrix fan. . He died 4 years before I was born [/quote] And if I were a customs officer and you turned up saying you were going to a Hendrix gig, I'd let you in.

The photo is a bit pinkish, but I think it's the same as the one in the main pic here: http://www.lakland.com/44-01.htm (Which is ash.)

God Only Knows how, but it gets worse: BBC Three have stuck it on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152500923475787 with the following description: "Did you miss it? Here's the video that everyone's talking about: 'God Only Knows' by pretty much every single musician you’ve ever heard of." Yep, pretty much, except for... um.... hang on, I'm sure there's someone...

Bl&*dy guitarists, coming over here, stealing our frequencies...

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1411977404' post='2564389'] TONTO is featured in the best-worst film I've ever seen, Phantom of the Paradise. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n5qVJEg3qA"]http://www.youtube....h?v=2n5qVJEg3qA[/url] [/quote] ...and on Stevie Wonder's early-70s albums <3

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1412865381' post='2572798'] For those in the mood, more old yes here. Some of it even pre dates Steve Howe! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SszeZhF9Xq4"]https://www.youtube....h?v=SszeZhF9Xq4[/url] [/quote] Really enjoying this, thanks! EDIT: what's Squire playing on Time and a Word?

“Until now, only the death of a monarch or the outbreak of war was supposed to broadcast across all networks. “Now, the BBC seems prepared to use that prerogative for its own propaganda and the glorification of its damply reorganised executive structure.” http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/god-only-knows-bbc-music-video-like-a-propaganda-film-made-by-a-dictatorship-losing-its-credibility-9783302.html

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1412848812' post='2572595'] Yep, one P with flats the other with rounds. [/quote] Ditto. Plus a fretless (non-P) with flats. And NiN have been largely off my radar... I really liked that!

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1412843533' post='2572510'] Completey opposite sides of the pennines. Anderson's is a classic Lanacashire burr whilst Bean's a Sheffield lad. Chalk and cheese. Bloody southerner [/quote] Ah, so they're both Geordies then?

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1412785030' post='2572042'] "Chicks knowing about different types of strings" - whatever next? If Jon knew what music was going to be like in fifteen years from then, he would have had a coronary! [/quote] Yep, those are the very two points at which I raised an eyebrow... [b]Even [/b]chicks!

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1412780439' post='2571971'] No, but this is............ [/quote] I especially liked the end of The End of the World. But back to God Only Knows... there was something niggling me about that version, and know I've hit on it: WHERE'S BONO?!?

"We've suffered for our art... now it's your turn."

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1412770728' post='2571800'] Stevie Wonder? They got actual STEVIE WONDER on it? [/quote] I wonder how? God only knows... Loving the kazoo version btw.

It's a slightly more roadworn version of my old warhorse ("white"/maple).... looks authentic from what's visible. Expect to go for around £1K?

Absolute nonsense. It was not an accident... Paul had stumbled upon the identity of JFK's real assassin and the plot to fake the moon landings. He was given a new identity by the CIA, for whom he worked faking vaccine research and coordinating the delivery of several tons of explosive to the World Trade Centre towers.

My theory is that all "bases" can be covered with three "basses": one with rounds, one with flats, and one fretless. Maybe you don't need a fretless, but unless you're very fast at changing strings, you'll need a second bass.

It's a small wood in an otherwise built-up area. Oh wait, that's urban grove.

I suspect the whole thing was orchestrated from here:

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1411397997' post='2559107'] iTunes user with an iTunes account and still no sign of Bonio and his band of chums in my music library...I feel blessed. [/quote] Bonio... chums.... Hey pal, I like your pedigree ;-)

A little thought exercise, putting myself in the shoes of today's youthful iTunes account holders: U2 were what the young folk were listening to about thirty years ago. I was a young folk in the seventies... so if iTunes had been around then, I'd now be wondering what the &^%£ the new Glenn Miller Band album was doing in my collection...

Ooh, I've seen a Son et lumiere there.... somewhere along the Loire.
