Has he ever explained the bucket though? When he takes it off, what do people call him? Everybody here seems very keen on mr Bucket - which is your fave album, as a recommendation?

I would say Jimi Hendrix. But only because I dont know a lot of guitarists besides him. I'm more into meaningful lyrics than actual music. But Jimi Hendrix rocks

~~Basket Case~~ · 10-17-2005, 06:46 AM

hey ok, erm i think that both music and the lyrics have the sorta same amount of importance, you cant, like do one without the other, coz then it sux. except in a few cases that i know.

Hellhound-138 · 10-17-2005, 07:20 AM

Yea theyre both important. I meant that lyrics should be just as important as music. Most of the great rock bands that make tons of cash from theyre music have the most mediocre lyrics. Thats what I meant I think I worded that one wrong. Its too ****ing early I dont even know what I'm typing

. I've got to get some sleep.

ok the early morning thing dont work for me either, i hate having to get up on mornings, its sounds freaky i know but coffee dont work what so ever, a nice glass of milk or something brings me round. i wanna be able to rock one day, only way i can do that is to give out good music, to million of people, with lyrics and music, not just music, and not just lyrics. ok im brain dead, so im sounding dumb. so im shutting up for now, damn dinner hours.

Lyrics are not always important, AC/DC are a great example of that...I mean, what about instrumentals and jazz?, or classical?, theres no lyrics let alone vocals, is that a bad thing? Good lyrics dont hurt though.
