shit, that decision made me sweat...i chose the beatles just because they're so influential to a lot of people. but man, those other choices...i would love to see anybody from that list. 1st runner up is either zepplin or hendrix. not zepplin so much cause they might go back on tour, so its still possible. but i don't know...what a good poll.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, heh
I chose Nirvana, based on the criteria that they speak to me more, on an emotional, intellectual and spiritual level. They probably speak more to me than SP, even... I'm a bigger SP fan, though, ATD-I is up there, and the other bands, this question was like "If you had to hack off all your limbs but one, which would you keep?" Good for thought, though.

Yeah, I've seen them once, a couple of years ago. If the Beatles did tours after Sgt. Pepper, I would've seen them, but Beatles concerts weren't all that great, not due to musical ability, but because the screaming from the crowd was so loud a.) the Beatles couldn't hear themselves and couldn't stay in tune that often, and b.) you couldn't even hear the music anyway. My friend's father was at Candlestick Park in '66, their last concert... he said he barely even heard any music. Hendrix... well, actually I might want to see them as much as Nirvana, if not more... heh, I change my mind so easily.

i put at the drive-in simply because i would love to see them, but i think honestly it would have to be Velvet Underground. w/Nico or w/out.

heh, good way to put it.
yeah, i've heard that merc. i wonder if john ever got fed up with it and screamed at the crowd to shut the hell up. of course, they wouldn't hear him, so its possible.
get this, andy. i have a friend whose dad and some friends went to see jimi when they were younger. one of the guy's dad was taking them. the dad had given his ticket to another kid so he could go. when they got there, the dad dressed up in an expensive-looking suit, sunglasses and all that. he got in free cause he said that he was a record executive come to see jimi. he ended up sitting front row, 9 feet away from the man himself. what a kick, huh. that would never work these days.

check this out. my uncle went to the monterey pop festival to check out some bands like the who and big brother and the holding company(janis joplin)... he said some unknown artist (jimi hendrix) tore shit up there. just getting crazy setting his axe on fire. a bunch of people were in awe cuz nobody ever did that s.h.i.t. ...i mean people banged up and broke their guitars, but to set it on fire was phucking INSANE back then. people were in acid so they thought it was phucking cool. anyways, he said that phucking guitar was still making noise while it was getting burnt to a crisp. ...but then again, my uncle is a phucking liar so i don't know if it's true or not. ....my friends dad saw jimi at the santa barbara bowl. they'd surf then check out jimi.

damn... I didn't know the Santa Barbara Bowl has been around for that long... it's a nice place, great acoustics. Santana is awesome, I wish I had seen him in high school when I had a relative chance to, before Supernatural dropped, you know? My sis, she doesn't like his newer stuff, she said to my dad "I hate his new stuff, having all these people singing for him" and my dad said "Santana's always had other people singing for him." heh
I wish I could've seen Jimi... that would've been insane, although if he was alive now, he'd probably be touring with B.B. King and Buddy Guy on the Llyod's BBQ Blues Festival. That'd be fine, though... there was this article in Guitar World magazine that was talking about what might have happened if Jimi had lived thru the O.D., jokingly, of course, as an obituary after he died setting his guitar (and himself) on fire at his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. It included a short-lived collaboration with Miles Davis, a series of cheap tapes he made with various musicians called Jimi Jams, performing "Third Stone from the Sun" with Dick Dale while they both chuckled as he sang "and you will never hear surf music again," and, the most outlandish one, befriending fellow Seattle up-and-coming musician Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, whom died after releasing his second major label album after a disgruntled unknown by the name of Eddie Vedder shot him out of jealousy. wonder how much acid the guys at GUitar WOrld were on, eh?

andy, i cracked up when you said you're uncle was a fucking liar. funny shit.
i read that there are some rare, 'lost' tapes of jimi and miles davis or some other jazz/blues artist that they made themselves to see what they sounded like together.

yeah, that's true... I would've liked to see the rooftop concert on the top of Abbey Road Studios in '69... of course, then it would've been the fighting obscuring the music... I don't know if I'd watch Let It Be if the movie came out on DVD... it'd kinda be too sad to watch them fighting... especially after Hard Day's Night and Yellow Submarine... but then again, if I didn't, it's kinda like pressing stop on Bambi right before his mother gets shot.

hey? who was better at solos in the beatles? i've been getting into their s.h.i.t. since you guys mention them all the time. my mom and my uncle are into the beatles. but i used to talk s.h.i.t. because i thought their earlier work ( i wanna hold your hand, help) sounded too poppy for me. but i heard that jam happines is a warm gun. that was an excellent jam. so i downloaded some albums.(with my friends dsl) i got white album, abbey road, rubber soul, and sgt. peppers . i actually really dig the white album. that song, dear prudence? is an awesome jam as well.on the other albums, certain jams are cool, but the white album spoke to me more.

I'd say George, George was the guitar man... he did most of their solos... but one of my favorite Beatles solos was by Eric Clapton (God for those 60's knowledgeable peeps) in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"... that song is so awesome... I like the White Album a lot... I listened to it again yesterday, I love Happiness is a Warm Gun, too.... great song.

yeah watching the rooftop concert woulb the coolest sing you can't beat that in any way..
noid..download "Tommorow never knows" and "Helter Skelter" they're aare so ahead of their time..i used to dislike the beatles too ..cause the radio is always puts their lamest crap (written by Paul)..
i used to hate Radiohead until you guys talked so much about'em and i was surprised to see that KID A and OK computer kick ass..
and i really recommend the Anothology seires there is so much cool shit in it ..you can hear George playing "My guitar gently weeps"(if you know eric clapton played the version that's in the White album)
and i recomend to everybody who likes fast guitar music to download:
Mediterranean Sundance byforgot his name..some spanish dude....
he plays with his fingers so fucking fast it's one of the fastest guitar players ever..

Helter Skelter is the shiznit, I was obsessed with that song in High School... I love the guitar riffs, they just wanted to out-Who the Who with that one, and they do an awesome job...
Spanish guitar players are excellent, I wish I could do arpeggios like that... I guess I didn't inherit that in my spanish genes, heh... I can't even play both hands of a piano without screwing up... at least yet... I have no rhythm when it comes to that, I'm trying to learn... I'm definitely not a Andres Sergovia

tomorrow never knows is a good jam. they try to throw that mind bending backwards guitar on that jam. (before jimi did it too). the cover by our lady peace is not bad either. helter skelter is cool too. i heard it from U2 first tho. \
seriously guys. check out DREDG. the album "LEITMOTIF" is a phucking gem.
