billy nomates · explanation?

i just dont understand my meditations...........

i was meditating the other night when i got all this music in my head...all amazing stuff in a jimi hendrix style.it went on and on and on...........

i do play a liitle bit of peano and basic guitar..........
but i am a singer.i could never play like that.........

if it was caruso i could understand.

so what did it mean?

aim to be as good as jimi?

write newand radical stuff like he did?

Raymond

Who the hell is Jimi Hendrix?

Hunter

Youngster !!

Raymond

I wish!!!

No seriously, who is he? Any good?

Hunter

Link

There you go Raymond his most famous piece !

Raymond

That's probably why I've never heard of him. Don't much like guitar music.

Raymond

OOOHHHH make it stop!!!

That's the sort of crap my Dad listens to.

Good thing he died really.

swanlady

A taste of Jimmi Hendrix.

I listened to 40 seconds of Hunter's post Swanny.

That was more than enough thankyou.

I think it says step pout of your comfort zone Billy... not necessary that music ..

Waffle King

Raymond

I don't think it has anything to do with age, that's just not my sort of music.

Anyway Waff, you've already demonstrated that your taste in music is shite, so what the hell do you know?

Waffle King

More then you apparently

Raymond

Oh I don't think so.

Waffle King

Says the man, who doesnt know who Hendrix was, i'm dissapointed Raymond, most gays know about Hendrix, seeing as he pretended to be gay for a few years to get out of the army

Raymond

See, there you go again with the homophobia.

Why should I have heard of every person who had ever done something "gay", do you know every person who had ever done something "straight"? Or everyone who had ever open his mouth and made himself look like a complete prick?

Raymond

I dare you to find any gay man who likes that kind of music.

evergreen

.. hahahhaha

god don't dare him he may find one :)

Raymond

I doubt it.

No self respecting gay man would give more than 10 seconds of his time to that crap.

billy nomates

so all gay men have the same musical tastes then?

is that like no straight men like george michael or r.e.m?

david hobbs

Hendrix was the best.

I play his stuff full blast.

When Magi's out

Scott

i don't know about all gay men but i certainly dont like this kind of music and i dont think any gay man i know would like it either. gay men mostly like music you can dance to and i can't imagine anybody dancing to this sort of thing

billy nomates

are you all programmed to like kylie now then?

i had one gay friend in my late teens.we were seriously into the pistols,clash,television,iggy , damned etc........funny but i dont remember him pogo-ing to abba!

what ever happened to rebellion?

Scott

billy nomates

i like them too...but not for the same reasons...........

Big Grin

Raymond

And that's the big difference here.

When it comes to female performers straight men like them because they are good to look at, gay men like them because they are simply fabulous.

What's 'fabulous' about this Jimi Hendrix?

wackyjacky

I have to say, I'm, not a Hendrix fan... can't see what all the hoo ha's about. Billy... typical

.

Raymond, did you get tickets for that Shirley Bassey show @ the Roundhouse in Camden?

wackyjacky

I've got tickets to see these guys next month. I went to see them last year... brilliant!

wackyjacky

I love this song (and version)

Ok last one... I love this one too!

billy nomates

i will admit that the jimi clip on this thread is just ordinary fare........

but he was possibly the most exciting guitar player ever!!!!

Raymond

Hunter

My wife had a gay friend who was into punk music. This was in the '70s, so I suppose it has been the thing nowadays for gay men to prefer "sweet" music.
As a student I had a few gay & lesbian heavy metal friends...
It must be as I said then. Times change !

david hobbs

Nothing to do with time

It's just that our gay members listen to crap music.

No taste whatsoever

Scott

i'm sure raymond would agree with me but when it comes to music you can't put gay men and gay women in the same bracket. gay women listen to some very strange music. kd lang for example!!!lol . but most gay men, not all, but a lot do prefer things like kylie and girls aloud simply because it's happy poppy dancy music. for me it depends on the situation i'm in. if im at home just chilling out then the last thing i want is a load of thumpa thumpa music so i'll put on the carpenters or barbra striesand or something like that but when i'm out in the clubs i want to get my top off and dance like a lunatic. it's what we like doing
