When the Music's Over...

No I didn't realize there was already stuff released..with the new line-up, really? I'll have to check it out.

Interesting theory there flip. I think Jim did exactly what he wanted to...turned out the lights...Doors were on a break when he was heading off to France right? So the music was over? Strange.....he actually embraced death.

They have released 9 titles so far.

Dont get : "Live in Hollywood - Highlights from the Aquarius Theatre Performances" or "Bright Midnight - Live In America" because they are compilations of the other releases, but if you are a collecting nut then you must have them.

kind of like in Great Gig in the Sky: Why should I be afraid of dying, there is no reason for it, you've got to go sometime.

it was good huh? i had just seen it.

nice try by the way.

i got that one the other day. its good enough for the casual fan.

Dude in my opinion he was nothing special, to me he was nothing more than a hip swinging guy whom (for reasons unbeknown to me) the girls swooned over. In MY opinion we're not missing out on anything. His songs never stirrd any emotion in me and music that doesn't do that doe snot rock my boat. and that , "If you don't think Elvis is number 1, then your full of number 2." is really quite insulting to greats such as Albert King, anyone of the beatles, The Floyd etc
Look if you like the guy, good for you. He doesn't rock my boat I don't miss him, I couldn't care less if he was dead or alive.

cheers

Yes, Sydney.

Either of your parents dead? Cause I couldn't care less.

First of all, I don't really care whether you like Elvis or not, just thought that your original comments about him (trashing him on a thread where everyone is lamenting their lost musical heros) was in particularly bad taste. Secondly, I never said anything defamatory about the Beatles, Albert King, or Pink Floyd...hell, I love those groups/artists...how you misconstrued my post to be a slap in the face of these artists is beyond me. Furthermore, if "Hicks'" anti-Beatles post didn't insult you, I don't see how mine did.

Some guys here are easily insulted I see. Gotta change my signature.

Regards,
"Hicks"

The three J's : John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and of course... James Douglas Morrison. A little bit of a downer was SRV... Geroge Harrison didn't surprise me at all though.... and Elvis, well... what can I say, 'cept "Well, he's dead man!"

Could this thread also extend to : Any future ones here?

The 3 J's huh? Usually are credited to be Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison (cos they died in a short period of time), but I see Beatles must be everywhere or someone could be offended.

could be a conspiracy.

Get over it.

Janis, Jimi, and Jim...the 3 J's alright. And weren't they all 27 years of age when they died? Eerie.

I understand where you're coming from B.L. As what you stated were my exact hopes for this thread...Thank You.

Hmm, I think I respect the men who made Elvis famous from behind the scenes, more than I respect Elvis. I am a casual fan, but I put him in the same category as The Beatles-- Undeserved Untouchable. Personally I think the Pet Shop Boys did a bang-up job covering him with "Always on My Mind".

By the way, the only celebrities I ever actually felt sad over losing was Chris Farley and Phil Hartman.

In my original post I apologised for the harshness of the comment in the first place, so there was no need for you to drag the cat out of the bag.
I know you never said anything defamatory about the artists I listed I just said that that's what the number one comment means to me, the dude that in the first place is saying that anything i listen is jsut not good enough is insulting my taste in music and what it stands for, and if there's anyone on this forum that says "whatever rocks your boat" in other words if you like it good for you if you don't hey still good for you, it's me.
I don't like the guy and that was what i was trying to say. I realsied that my comment was harsh so i apologised I don't see why you had to go drag it out.
Hicks' anti beatles post didn't insult me cos he doesn't like em and that's fine, it doesn't rock his boat. He never said that everything I listen to is second best. He just said I don't like em, comprende?

cheers
