"The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away..."

 

Any reason why you comment threads by saying exactly the same that´s already been added by the mod?

 

Pure coincidence- I had looked at Wikipedia once !
2 people the same thought.

 

Uggggh. This one is a kick in the balls. What a fantastic band, there was so much great music to discover beyond that one song everyone knew. I saw Gary with PC something like 5 years ago and he sounded fabulous. RIP, Gary.

 

Jeez, just realized his passing today. The fucking Grim Reaper needs a holiday already.

This song blew my 11 year old mind when I first heard it and it helped me to go forward in learning how to play the guitar and keyboards.

 

Precisely. His comments are always either inane, stating the obvious or copying the first result from Google/Wikipedia.

I've called him out on this behavior a few times and many members agreed with me. The mods however shut me down.

 

I guess we all have our own favorites when it comes to Procol Harum and I agree Conquistador is another great song from this band.

 

I believe he's well meaning and has a good heart. He's also a fantastic synth programmer and has created tons of banks for a myriad of vsti.

 

Im pretty sure it´s completely legal to imitate like a parrot in a thread according to the rules - as I read them.
I just find comments like @BEAT16 ´s here quite superfluous.

 

Hi @Lois Lane
Respect for @BEAT16´s skills and as a person, but that´s not what this is about.

Surely @GammaStar I agree
