Wow - I used to love and respect Jimi ... now after seeing the trashing of his guitar .... not so much. I remember as a kid feeling so sad when I saw that in concerts ... I had to save up just to have .25 cents for picks and these a-holes were destroying instruments. That's not rock & roll - it's just stupid.

YEP!

UD,

Its was the medication they were on at the time, UD I mean the groups name "THE TROGGS" what the hell is a Trogg,I hated them, music my ass, you must have kids in the USA who have booom booom speakers in their cars, just the same, makes no sense, end up in an old folks home deaf sat trying listening to some playing an arranger, and the World turns..smashing their kit, over paid tossers, Beaky play something nice nice like you always do to the old folks, spoke to Scotte he says it's dead easy to play "WILD THING" 3 chords, BOOM, BAH,BOOM, you are right UD stupid.

Why does SZ put all these things in blue, I know what old folks home is, thats where I am heading soon, Doh!!! Its not hightlighted tosser or Trogg love to know what trogg is , I am off to Wiki, be back in a bit someone will know...



5 mins later, I'm back.... in sq brackets below


[A trogg is a girl that is realy beat looking. Origins from the words troll and frog.


"Eww, check that TROGG out!!"

"we are going trogg hunting tonight, for the ladies that don't take much persuing..." ]

Well there you go boys, thats about as clear as it gets, clear as mud ???

Hey, don't blame Jimi. This only happened very early in his solo career and he was made to do it by his management. It wasn't his choice at all. His management was trying to create controversy to get publicity and because The Who were doing it at that time. He didn't destroy equipment after this period.

I likewise always thought destroying music gear was a travesty when I was a kid trying to afford buying a guitar.

Yup for sure !!!

Not the English Sid Vicious version?? Just kidding you Tony.

Yeah, back in the days I used to burn my harmonica on stage and gnaw it in half, but I stopped getting dates because of my crooked teeth.

I'll listen to the Weird Al song when I can turn it up. Family's sleeping now.

Hells Nigel,

He sounds a little out of tune to me, does anyone else agree, my ears maybe, never work in the old folks home, don't you dare try this Beaky be all over the frontpage of the papers

Yup - it was the Who that broke my musical heart first. Management, or not ... It's just a horrible aspect of " show business". Just as abhorribile as a major league pitcher throwing at a guys head in retaliation. Don't get me started!!!!
