That suspicion is wrong. However, perhaps you or I should attach a smiley
face next time...just to be sure.not!



Most guitarists sit when recording, never met one that didn't.



Singers and Upright bassists stand when singing/playing, and sit when
waiting and waiting and waiting - for the tedious process to unfold, and
their moment for turning it all on.

"Oh relax" is not a command. It's merely a compassionate suggestion born out
of the suspicion that someone is taking things a wee bit too seriously.

And for the record, I've been in a recording studio during the making of an
album (notably Firewater), and yes -- recording sessions can be as dull as
dishwater and rife with the inclusion of many dreary individuals (witness
the fact that I was let in the room).

And, really now, are people genuinely concerned to see Geordie sitting down
when he plays? Wouldn't *YOU* rather sit down while you played (especially
if sequestered for hours on end in a cramped, airless studio with a handful
of other people)? Angus Young of AC/DC evidently records all of his
incendiary guitarwork while sitting down, and no one's accusing him of
losing his edge.

Oh relax -- it was just a flippant observation. I'm sure they're fine,
upstanding, sonically-atuned individuals, despite their sweatshirts.

Would it be any better if it were a bunch of bald small foreheaded paunchy

40 somethings with too many piercings, bad tribal tattoos and flea infested
chin mullets?



Maybe the bespectacled college boys will help to feed a culture of
intelligent melodies in the joke's music as apposed to the cookie monster
knuckleheaded-ness of the past few albums.



change is a constant dynamic with killing joke and frankly it is time for
some variety in their music,

i will choose to practice optimism for the future of the joke.

Makes ya wonder: Who are those bespectacled college boys in there with them,
and do they understand they're in the presence of gods?
