inspired by Hendrix thread title... been wondering for a while, is there a thread featuring examples of guitarists/vocalists throwing to the guitar solo with a corny line? are there enough examples for this to be threadworthy? a fairly boutique enquiry, I will freely allow.
(IMO all-time best example being 'alright doll-face, come on and bore me')

here's a bunch to pick from:Best spoken intros to guitar solos....Introducing a musical soloBest thing a bandleader/singer says to his band to encourage them to rock the fuck out in the middle of a songgenuinely great shouts for the guitarist by the vocalist

D'oh, yr right imago!
NV: it's a useful way of dropping recommendations of a certain year into a thread of that year? Other than that, I've got no good answer to "why bother" when it comes to this, or to anything else really.

ignore me being mean about jangly indie pop, i'm so bad at keeping it positive

is there a good thread to ID a quote ? i wrote out this quote about painting but i can't remember / track down who wrote it. would the "what can't you find on the internet" be the best place ?

you could start a new thread, or put it in any thread at all #onethread

there's an ILM thread called something like "Songs that sound like ____"
all the songs are linked by a certain kind of sound / feel, and recently somebody posted herbie hancock's tune "textures" as a youtube video itt
i can't remember what any of the other music was !
any idea ?
― budo jeru, Saturday, 22 August 2020 11:43 (three years ago) link
doesn’t come up in Search, right?this why it is a very good idea to provide track info when posting a YouTube or other music link
