We have finally made it to the sidebar

What the **** is going on with 2+2 today?

Nice, curious to see if it generates more traffic.

And solid posts from everyone in the last few days. Dylan, RATM, Pharcyde, Saul, Blackstar, Jimi!!! I dig

Zappa ftw

I now see the Introduce Yourself thread has already been bumped twice. Good start.

that is a pretty bad ass version of that imo. zappa can't conduct for **** though.

Agreed. Even if he wasnt smoking while conducting he would still suck at it lol.

that was awesome imo. i actually laughed when i saw him taking a drag while conducting. funny as hell.

Speaking of conductors.. check this guy out. Pretty impressive imo

What do conductors do really?

I mean surely the musicians know what they're doing??

It's all smoke and mirrors imo, oh and crazy hair. (and without a word of a lie, I made this post before I actually saw the image of that video above!)

Bugs Bunny GOAT conductor

The promotion continues... http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...0&postcount=25

And now a really REALLY low content cross posting: twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/list-famous-musicians-participated-tournaments-530137/

Only OP appears to be serious

Someone needs to lead the band. If you're in a rock band, it's the drummer usually kicking off the band; if you're in an orchestra, it's the conductor that kicks off the orchestra. Also, as you know, when you're on stage it's hard to tell what mix is coming out of the PA speakers. With an orchestra, the conductor is the sound man.

If the viola section is too loud/soft, he signals to them to change their dynamics, and he does this constantly throughout the piece for every section/player - he also controls crescendo/decrescendo, as well as other markings in the music. Also, if you have a 128 measure tacet, you can go to sleep and the conductor will cue you in when you need to play.

Like sound guys, I hate conductors, too.

So I'm gonna do this uke video this week sometime as promised.

Give me some guidance

Choice of Hat:

A) Sombero
B) Fur Trapper

Choice of Shirt:
1) Something sophisticated and classy
2) A 'Polk High 33' T-Shirt (think Al Bundy)


I only know a few songs, but out of these
i) Play something everyone should know, so everyone knows how bad I am
ii) Play something original, so people won't realise just how bad I am


Thank you for your consideration

They dont sit there reading their music?

Damn memory-having bastards, always showing off!

I knew I could rely on you to take my post seriously, but it wasn't fwiw!

Do you like anyone in music, apart from bassoon players?

Oh and Low Key - You'll always be the moderator of our hearts.

I'm rather upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballrooms
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all

Once I got to the crazy hair part I was 85% sure you were just ****ing around, but it is a valid question so I answered it in case some lurkers didn't know and maybe wondered to what extent they are necessary.

Nah, I don't like bassoonists either, but they rank higher than oboe or clarinet.

and triangle?

Triangle is fine, but I don't like the percussionists who play them.
