A String Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 There's still, I suppose, some weird, insular people who have never heard of Blackadder. That is a shame. The first Black Adder wasn't my favourite (Rowan Atkinson's character was too much of an idiot), but the Black Adder he played in subsequent versions (two and three), were brilliant. Both Rowan and Laurie are geniuses IMO. Did you know Glasgow had a Bishop Blackadder in the Middle Ages? Hmmmmm....I wonder?

A String Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Who is Black Adder??? Rowan Atkinson (the guy who played Mr.Bean) played Edmund "Black Adder". It was a great character. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwkgc7ZRo74 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Uf0GAn1zvQ Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Fraser Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 ...trust me I've known cats in LA who walk around talking the talk....but they're dressed in expensive threads, $500 cowboy boots, get expensive haircuts and eat healthy at nice restuarants, shop for groceries at Trader Joe's.....but they are BLUES players ...baby.....or daddy-o... for that matter and they have this huge phony vibe about them. Hey! I shop at Trader Joe's. I think the guys you're talking about get their groceries at Gelson's. Scott Fraser Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Fraser Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 If B.B. King can say that "Peter Green gave him the cold sweats" when he played, than I'd pretty much say that he's been accepted as a bluesman . I think if we look at the blues as less of "where you come from" and more of "what's inside you", then maybe it makes more sense. Absolutely. Nobody ever said Joe Zawinul wasn't really a true Jazz musician just because he was a white guy from Vienna. Scott Fraser Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumblyfingers Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Again...I am not talking about just using the accent because it sings better, which I thought I had explained in detail. I personally am only talking about a person not from the US singing with an over the top American accent....the Southern drawl thing. To me that is distracting if I know where they are from...that's all. It seems a bit fake to me and takes away from my listening experience. I could otherwise care less who plays what, or where they are from.... as long as their heart is in it. This is my opinion, I am not telling anyone else how to think when they listen to someone singing a certain way. Yeah LOL Scott, Gelson's it is. TJ's a cool store, and they have some very realistic prices for those who think healthy always has to mean expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulrock Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I personally am only talking about a person not from the US singing with an over the top American accent....the Southern drawl thing. An over the top southern drawl is enough to make me want to stick a fork in my ear, real or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuben Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Sadly, many country artists have no Southern roots sing with thick drawls. I have hung out with a few biggies that even admit it.

Eric Iverson Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I guess I sing like the Midwesterner I am, being from Des Moines, Iowa! But all the bandmates I have ever had have encouraged me to sing my heart out, but away from the microphone, if you please... so it's never been relevant!
