Because in the 1970s, if a song was not a huge hit or at least in the top 10, there WAS NO sheet music. Publishing was very different back then, and finding scores for anything that rocked harder than Neil Diamond or the Carpenters was an impossibility.Originally Posted by Blaze
Why did you not buy the sheet music?!
Such disreputable disregard of IP!
Actually the work would have been much easier.
Why not just get a copy of the sheet music? :puzzled:

1. it didn't exist for most rock songs back then.Why did you not buy the sheet music?!

2. If it did you'd have to wait a year or more until it's published.
3. What you did get was some crap a piano player figured out for the melody and the cord notations were simple open chords played around the 1st fret. They couldn't even print the actual bar chords or power chords that actually made up the songs.
Most rock artists didn't put pen to paper... hell most couldn't even read sheet music.

I was thinking about yesterday...
It is not very difficult to write an piece from audio for those that are literate.
Why would the revenue stream, albeit niche, of the literate market be ignored?
~ If not purposely mislead... I recall shopping for sheet music at the music stores (one of those delightful vivid recalls). The salesman laughed and said those (the score books I was looking at) were a waste of money. I asked why. He said they were wrong. He continued and said that he thought they were written wrong on purpose. I asked why would that be. He shrugged and said, he did not know. I looked at the music and was kind of sad.

Thread: [614]Every Script Known To Man!
Too late... already seeing the damage done...
Very true.
I don't know if I'm alone is this but the stupid thing was that when they did start bringing out good guitar tab books for rock I would buy them fully expecting that meant I would be able to play it all by the following week.
I don't know why I thought that. I wouldn't have bought Bach sheet music expecting to pop down the local church to play Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
I'm not sure I ever learned anything faster or better from tab rather than doing it by ear. Judging by YouTube requests for tab in the comments it seems that kids all completely rely on tab these days - or maybe they're just being dumb like I was.
Hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
Don't have to be so exciting
Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah
You always look so invitin', you ain't as green as you are young
Hey baby, its you, come on, guy, now, its you
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby
Let's see what we can do, come on and make it up
A-hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it, a-hurt so good
Well. you must have the ability, not saying that you do not, but score is like script.
It is to be used as a reference, either to help learn recitation, or as a place marker.
When giving a speech (oral recitation of script) notes are used, in a play the scripts are used until the oral recitation can be recreated by memory.
Someone that can read music, can read it all day long, and get what the author is communicating (if the author can write communicatively in music), but perhaps not play it in a compelling way. When music is recited, it is the same as script, either it is compelling or not. And sometimes that depends on the reciter and/or rector.
There is oral communication and written communication. When writing an oral communicator's words who does not write the communication first, sometimes the nuances of the oral communication require script that has noted adaptations to express that reciter.
For example:
-------------
212-07 3-01 31 ECU Rabbit with fox'a hand over his mouth.
Fox: "AH SAID....."
CUT TO:
215-08 9-13 32 ECU Fox trying to scare o.s. rabbit.
Fox: "....I'SE GONNA ROAST YOU - ON DAT
FIRE! NOW!" Points o.s.
CUT TO:
225-05 4-00 33 CU Rabbit and Fox.
Fox: "IS DAT SOMETHIN' TO LAUGH ABOUT?"
CUT TO:
---------------------------
Rabbit: Ain't dat terrible.
Fox: Now wait a minute.
Wait jes' a minute, Brer Rabbit.
Fox: Maybe I better
'splain something to you.
Fox: I said, I'se gonna roast
you... on dat fire! Now!
Fox: Is dat somethin' to
laugh about?
---------------------------
Things looked very grim for the poor rabbit at that moment. He was so afraid he was shaking like it was cold. Then an idea that might just save him poped into his head. He began to laugh as loud as he could while Brer Fox was turning the spit. He was so surprised to hear this coming from the rabbit that he stoped what he was doing,took him away from the fire, and put his hand over the hystericaly laughing creature's mouth.
“Now wait just a minute Brer Rabbit, maybe I need to do some explaining to you.” Said Brer Fox. “I said I was going to roast you ,on that fire.” he paused and pointed at the fire behind him. “Now is that something to be laughing about?”

Well, perhaps that is not a direct example of a communication that is first oral and then written, but it is close, though perhaps a canned example.

Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
search is kinda messed up. i was on my profile and wanted to bask in all the glory that is me, and i got the SQL error page when i searched my started threads.
Sometime in the late seventies a publishing house put out a song book that covered the first couple of Van Halen albums. Although I could read and write music pretty well (OK, to an extent), the pages for "Eruption" and "Spanish Fly" might as well have been written in Chinese. All I could see were a bunch of closely-cropped birds sitting on telephone wires. And I was fairly certain the other tunes were not transposed properly, because I highly doubted that every single song started on "E". Other than including a series of great photographs not found on the albums, it was a complete waste of (my then teenage) money.

Dude.....that was what I recorded my first few bootleg concerts on. Also, my Dad had one as well, and while listening to Cheech & Chong one day, I figured out how multi-tracking worked by recording my voice on one tape, then playing it back and speaking some other bullshit while recording it on the second tape deck.Early 70's... tools of the trade for learning how to play the latest rock hits...
Those were the days......
Shit, before that I used to tape car races off of ABC's Wide World Of Sports, then play them back when I ran my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars around.
Cool!
Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
Nothin like Jim McKay and Chris Econimaci calling the action while we raced around the driveway on our Murry Sting-Rays with banana seats and sissy bars...Shit, before that I used to tape car races off of ABC's Wide World Of Sports, then play them back when I ran my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars around.
No kidding, and to derail this thread even further, it broke my heart to learn that after all these years, National Speed and Sport is calling it a day.
Farewell, National Speed Sport News
My friend and I in pre-school, on one of those 8 pound tape decks; recorded an entire "Little Rascals" episode in our room.....lol had that tape until I left home.....used to crack up....lost it to my Dad's new woman. Oh well....5 yr old voices silenced forever....hehe. We did the entire episode from memory (well, I was producing).
Can't Control your Future. Can't Control your Friends. The women start to hike their skirts up. I didn't have a clue. That is when I kinda learned how to smile a lot. One Two Three Fouir fun ter thehr fuur.
Wow. I shoulda thought of that. I had a set of slot cars as well that I used to race all the time.Shit, before that I used to tape car races off of ABC's Wide World Of Sports, then play them back when I ran my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars around.
I do recall recording the John Wayne movie McClintock! off of TV.
With the drunk Native American yelling "HEY MATSON! BIG PARTY!" at the big party at the end.

Yes, it's understood. WTF is it gonna take, a donation drive? I'm down with that. It's about that time of year anyway....
Well, Pojo will correct me if I'm wrong, but basically I believe it boils down to Sarge's availability....
I know my sorry ass doesn't have the access to make any modifications at all....
Pojo might have a little more, but I don't believe he has the "keys" either....
I think it would take Sarge to contact the host, or whatever is needed...

Real problem is the economy has even priced conmee out of the bottom end of the cheap Ho market... I heard he's plotting his next move for a hostile takeover as a Walmart Greeter...
I had to "Guide" a new member through this also. Taught them that Death is...will happen. Now....we all suffer...lol laid out a path of glory for them without DLR ARMY. I personally would like to help if I can. I do not have types of resources that will seem to fix all the problems. But the site grows on you like warts. And BTW...please keep it to yourself that I care. I was 2nd to the Top Jimmy once. If someone was steering this ghost ship they would acknowledge that.
Would be fun for this site to make it all the way to the end of the tour on the new album. How can we enlist new allies?
During the time off I joined (anathema) Twitter. Sesh? I am following you buddy. How about you get John Shanks to listen and contribute to the site? We could use some help.
Last edited by SunisinuS; 04-15-2011 at 09:46 PM. Reason: Roth On! Ask Shanks to show his love. His reputation could mean he cares about it.
Tell you what...I am going down south this next month to La area... i will try and enlist an ally for this place. My friend there saw David on Eat tour. We will see.
No one cares about a slow, washed up message board.

Not much nigga err dude.
Take it to Chat ladies!
who are the chat ladies?
I think it used to be called the Sheep Pen???

Keystroke delay
Has anyone else noticed a significant delay in the appearance of text characters after you type them?
Oddly...it is not happening now as I post this thread.
But it does happen alot when I post replies in existing threads, and its a real pain in the ass.
Thanks.

Sounds like the graphics from the page haven't fully loaded when you started to type.
Trying hitting Stop on your browser and then type.
I'll get that from time to time on my computer here at work when it's overloaded... I typically give it a restart and I'm good to go.
Happens to me all the time. This and if I get to much text in a reply the cursor jumps aroung and I can't get it to stay at the bottom.
P.S. I have complained about this before and no on gave a shit.

Here's the deal: The latest version of vBulletin™ (the platform the ARMY and several other sites runs on) has software issues large enough to pilot an aircraft carrier through. For many complicated reasons, certain browsers can not read it properly. The resulting breakdowns have lead to server difficulties worldwide, but nobody seems to be in much of a hurry to repair them. The problem became so bad that Internet Explorer took the unprecedented step of creating an add on called compatibility view in it's latest browser versions. In the meantime, servers are becoming overburdened and are failing sites using the platform, which explains the annoying repeating cycles and double-posting many users are experiencing.
Firefox has had incompatibility issues with Adobe for three years now, making the viewing of Flash based web sites (such as Youtube) an exercise in futility, but strangely enough, little if anything has been done to correct that problem, either. So the truth is, other than waiting for the assorted browsers and vbulletin to iron out their issues, there ain't a whole hell of a lot individual site owners can do.
