dansouth Posted April 21, 2001 Posted April 21, 2001 (Note: This is a facetious, tongue-in-cheek post for Dave's flame war. It's just for fun.) Do real men play keyboards? Think about some of the great drummers of the past. Gene Krupa. Max Roach. Buddy Rich. John Bonham. You messed with those guys, they'd put you in the hospital. Think about the great bass players of the past. Ron Clark. James Jamerson. Charles Mingus. Ray Brown. Not exactly a bunch of pansies. Think about the great guitarists. Joe Pass. Django. Jimi. Robert Johnson (killed for messin' around with another man's wife). Real men who played hard and lived hard. Now, consider some well known keyboard players. Elton John. Richard Carpenter. Lee Liberace. Burt Bachrach. Barry Manilow. Harry Nilsson. Gary Numan. Greg Hawks. Guys who got picked last for every sport imaginable. I'm not drawing any conclusions, just presenting the evidence. You decide. Hmm, now where did I put that fire extinguisher? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif

soapbox Posted April 21, 2001 Posted April 21, 2001 Any wimp can break a guitar string, but McCoy Tyner breaks piano strings! How many drummers do you know who were knicknamed "The Killer?" (Jerry Lee Lewis' nickname) Anyhow Dan, I know you're just celebrating troll season, so I take your comments in the spirit with which they were made! Enthusiasm powers the world.

Guest Posted April 22, 2001 Posted April 22, 2001 Guitarists are too busy doing their hair to learn any technique........geez and they call themselves "men" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif

(Jerry Lee Lewis' nickname) They call him the killer 'cause he allegedly knocked off one of his wives. Are you calling Jerry Lee I married my 13-year-old cousin a REAL man? Boy, you keyboard players are more confused than I thought. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif
dansouth Posted April 23, 2001 Author Posted April 23, 2001 Hmm, nobody's posting to this thread. Must hit too close to home. Sorry wussie keyboard players. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm sure that Richard Carpenter and Burt Bachrach are really manly men when you take the piano away from them.

wormhole Posted April 23, 2001 Posted April 23, 2001 These pansies wouldn't know a flame if it come up and raped them. Keyboardist are the most sexually depraved group of musicians out there. What ever a guitarist can do with one hand, we can do with two. And don't get me started with those "dummers" beating their foreskin heads like a tard who can't hit the bowl. Bunch of panty wearin' wimps.
Botch. Posted April 23, 2001 Posted April 23, 2001 Just thought I'd point out the world would have 85% fewer guitar players if a Strat weighed as much as a B-3... Botch "Eccentric language often is symptomatic of peculiar thinking" - George Will www.puddlestone.net
