Was I not clear, Geoff?

Okayyyyy ... See, even though "warrant" was capitallized, I didn't get that it was the name of a band. The only cherry pie song that came to mind was the old folk song (sung along with Mitch Miller).

Oh, that's quite all right. Most 7,8,9 years old that I know wouldn't get it either. And "meat pie" didn't take my mind anywhere either. and NO I'm not going to google it! I don't need to know.

However, Am's (i think) comment about a "bit o sausage" I did get.... And I'm fine with that.

Carry on!

It's a moot point now but the last unofficial one was the official update, only without the 0-day patch for Flash 10.1.

I got mine and it bricked my phone. Okay, not really, it just froze at the moto bootloader. I booted into Recovery Mode and that alone appeared to show it I mean business, and I guess it works okay now; I haven't had time to do anything with it because I've been too busy arguing with Windows about the Android ADB driver that was already installed that it says isn't installed. Fsckin' Windows.

Warrant = '80s hair-metal band. They keep trying to re-form but their singer goes into meltdown every time he has to tour.

And 8,9 and 10 year olds use words I don't use.

Not my responsibility, anyway.

Following the MR guidelines is everybody's responsibility.

At least you know what the video is about. This IP filtering on youtube gets more and more annoying. And then some more.

He's doing us all an unintended favor. The last time I saw anything from Warrant, my response was "every big hair metal band cliche, visually and musically, rolled into one video". I sat there with jaw dropped at how mind-bogglingly bad it was.

Apparently not.
Or I wouldn't be complaining.

One of my treasured memories was seeing Beck in a movie made of some benefit concert, playing with Eric Clapton. Erid did first break, and played impeccable blues. Come second break, Beck took off from there and rapidly achieved low earth orbit.

Anyway, RE: Hendrix, my vote's for blues. Sure, he could/would have, on some level and at some point done a jazz fusion album (dream trio with Terry Bozzio and Tony Levin) but Beck always had the more classical bent; I always considered Hendrix's style more comparable to early-Zeppelin-era Jimmy Page: Technical but raw at the same time. There was an energy to their playing that defies description.

Well, maybe. I have a live recording of Jimi doing Red House, and it's the sort of blues guitar I'd expect from BB King when he's [really cooking. But Jimi's roots are actually R&B more than blues, and he played with folks like the Isley Brothers before going solo. I can see him exploring the blues, but I can't see him regressing to a completely traditional style and forgetting all of the stuff he did to extend the range of what could be done on a guitar.

Agreed, I think, on the differences between Hendrix and Beck. But I'd love to have heard Jimi backed on drums by the late B. J. Thomas of Procol Harum.

There's been a wealth of previously-unreleased stuff marketed by his dad, so it stands to reason he wouldn't have run out of inspriation for quite some time. I submit the following alternate timeline: 3 or 4 more albums (yes, one of which would have been fusion-y), then he'd have sat out the late-'70s. He'd probably have done the ARMS concert in '83 with Beck, Page, & Eric Clapton; at least one of Geldof's (Live Aid, Live 8) concerts; rehab in the mid-'80s; big comeback, guest spots on a few albums, triumphant solo release (and inevitable backlash), R&R HOF performance. THEN, he'd sit in the Pantheon with Page, Beck, and Clapton; like he already does, only collecting royalties like they're going out of style. I don't think he'd have started his own label but might have sat in the producer's chair once or twice, if he'd had a good enough reason.

He might. I do wonder who else he might have played with over the years and what the results would have been.

(I heard a story about an early tour where Hendrix was on the same bill with Stephen Stills. Back in the hotel after a gig, Jimi and Stephen were jamming, staring into each others eyes, totally lost to the world, while Mickey Dolenz from the Monkees made whang whang whang noises on a guitar , just randomly strumming, since he couldn't actually play he thing. He stopped, and Hendrix and Stills acted like they'd run into a brick wall, and both screamed "What did you stop for?" )

However, my Magnum-voice tells me MTV couldn't come up with enough money for him to have reprised his Woodstock performance for the '94 or '99 anniversaries. I think he'd have known better.

I profoundly hope so. (I did recently see a web add for a guitar designed by a Japanese manufacturer, intended to be destroyed on stage while performing... )
