Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

I can tell that English is not your native language. Not remotely funny or makes sense for that matter.

However, this stereotype fits you perfectly! And look how this thread found you across the vastness of the internet.........

Life / Differences between Irish, British, Polish, American and other nations culture, tradition, music - loose talk [241]

Hard to say. I like Richie Blackmore's solo in "Strange kind of woman" on the Made in Japan album a lot.

"Child in Time" is another classic solo. That whole album is great!

Frank Zappa's "Willy the Pimp" isn't too shabby

Wiily the Pimp,,hahaha I had the 8track in my 70 Ford fairlane, with the mud shark and "Fido" the killer poodle. I gotta YT this one:)

Speaking of Zappa hes another great guitarist.

Scorpions

Its Micheal Schenkers brothers band.

Did you guys know that he played with Pink Floyd once?

I made it all the way to 6:02 before I started getting flashbacks! lol

The first gig I ever went to was when I was about 14,in 1971 at The Royal Albert Hall,Deep Purple

My first concert was Kiss back in "76" the Bicentennial year. Ya, I know, I was just a little snot kid then. This is before I ever heard about Led Zeppelin or got my first guitar.

I wish I still had that Kiss Army stuff, probably worth a few bucks now.

2nd concert, U.F.O and Judas priest, now were talking!

My top 10 Rock Albums, not in any particular order, subject to change of course.

Dark side of the moon - Pink Floyd
Made in Japan - Deep Purple
Phenomenon - U.F.O.
Appetite for destruction - Guns N roses
Are you experienced _ Jimi!!!!
Texas Flood - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Live at the fillmore - Allman Bros.
Van Halen 1
Truth - Jeff Beck Group
Billion Dollar Babies - Alice Cooper
Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy
Rocks- Aerosmith
Hotel California - eagles
Blood Sugar Sex Magic - Red Hot Chili Peppers

I went a bit over 10..lol

I`ll comprise a Blues list later, it will be much harder.

Good call. I'm also a big fan of Husker Du

I remember this band from H.S. days! Yep, Im surprised they didn't go mainstream as well.

Here is one out of obscurity, Lucifers Friend

I had the 8 track tape of this...lol Check these guys out!

Royal Albert hall in 1971 and was Black Sabbath.....at their peak.....that was a real eye opener....

Im jealous! I never seen Black Sabbath or Ozzy and I dig them so much.

I forgot to add Zep to my list, yikes!

Whats your favorite guitar solo???????

youtu.be/JjPW35eot70

Michael Schenker from U.F.O is an awesome guitarist and great band as well. He has fantastic melodic solos!

Lucky for him Hendrix, from whom he stole so much material, was

Hands down Hendrix was the probably the best and nobody can really touch him, but I like many different styles. Everybody has different taste. He did steal a lot of riffs from BB King, everybody did. Stevie Ray Vaughan studied Clapton growing up and wound up jamming with him and becoming friends.

What about Jeff Beck? I would say hes better than Clapton and Jimmy Page. His music is much more original and improvisational, mostly only other guitarist get into him and his songs are too long for radio. Hes a musical genius as well.

I think this is the best guitar album ever:)

youtu.be/o7ALPziEOyc

I guess, it depends on my mood, because I like heavy metal too sometimes:) No Rap ever!!! lol

"Watt" was my favourite. T

I used to drive around in my beat up 1970 Ford Fairlane jamming out this song:)

youtu.be/cwQp9CEGplE

Ten Years After doesnt get the credit they deserve.

Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"

Johnny Winter is a great blues player as well. Muddy Waters used to refer to him as his son.

I prefer wilder stuff like MC5 or Patti Smith Group. Check this one out:

I forgot about those wild men, good stuff!

They certainly dont make music like they used too. Hey did you hear the new Box Scaggs CD? I was never a really big fan, but with the evaporation of decent artists around and plus its a Blues album, not bad at all!

youtu.be/bXTbg44v5m8

My vote goes to Eric Clapton as my all time favorite.

As much as I like Clapton and Cream, I never seen him live. I must have seen Jeff Beck play close to 10 times though:)

He seems to come to Chicago quite frequently.

This is for Joker,one of my favourites..

Whoa! I just copied and pasted it and pleasantly surprised:)

I didn't know this song was on YT

I wish I had YT when I was younger, but then again we didn't need it!! LOL

Oh man, this is going to be hilarious. No investigation, no Kavanaugh. It's that simple.

Watching you getting your panties all wet over the American political process is totally hilarious and something only a troll would do.

Why dont you watch re-runs of the Clarence Thomas conformation and compare the similarities, same crap, no big deal at all.

But, why is it such a concern to a Scottish expat? Besides just to troll this forum, we all can tell this by your overwhelming 15.5K posts,,geeez give us a break!!!!

Yes, Indeed Ms. Atch

I only discovered Rory a few years ago and hes fantastic, No doubt:)

I really like Thin Lizzy as well, except it irks me when radio stations in the US only play two songs over and over. Jailbreak and Boys are back in town, they over kill it like stairway to heaven. They have much better songs like, The Rocker, Chinatown, Bad Reputation and......

No ****? Now I am seriously impressed....

Im surprised someone caught that one:)

Then you must have heard of Junior Wells, Luther Allison and Mighty Joe Young as well. Man, I used to see these guys playing every weekend either in a bar or festival in or around Chicago. Im going back to the 1980-90`s of course. There all dead except Buddy Guy now.

I forgot to mention Roy Buchanan, hes the worlds most famous unknown guitarist!

I loved early Santana but he can get a bit repetitive...

I agree, as much as I love Santana. The last 2 times I seen him, he totally stopped the show to start preaching religion and the very last time he brought his son "a rapper"

It was horrible!

Shut up and play your Guitar! Im paying good money!! LOL

Though not really a Blues guitarist I think Zakk Wylde is incredible too

I seen him for the first time at the Copernicus Center in Chicago. The show was called generation Axe , with Uwngie Malmsteen, Stevie Vai and Nunu Bettencort, it was awesome!

you are right. that is why it is so hard for British bands to break the American market

Actually, Im grateful for what the British blues bands did back in the 60`s and 70`s

Eric Clapton took blues to the next level and inspired millions of guitar players. Not to forget about such greats as Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Alvin Lee, plus many more musicians that came out of England.

I also think its childish to argue about who has the better music or museums, arent they all good?

Music? Please, that was all ripped off from European music.

Who ripped off American music? Lets see, The Beatles, This Stones, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Yardbirds, Pink Floyd, just to name a few.

All your music came from rock and roll which came from Blues, all invented in the USA. This just proves you lack of knowledge about America, unless youre just baiting and trolling again or both. Anyhow, you sure look like a fool!

The new inhabitants haven't been assimilating into the German culture very well. They have very different ideas of their own.

Too many expats with axes to grind against Americans. I would only trust a native Pole or other Yank for this kind of advise.

The first immigrant with a hyphen can be excused because he is both.

I agree, only a person that emigrated to the US should have the hyphen after he/she obtains citizenship, their offspring NO.

Like those "African-Americans" after 300 years here.

I think they cling on to these titles to get more free stuff, like reparations, remember that hoax?

It turns out that I am mostly Polish -- 38%.

Then you are actually an American of Polish decent. Perhaps, your Grandparents were Polish.

Stop using a hyphen ( - )

So being Polish is cool.

Have you even been to Poland?

38% of ancestral lineage hardly qualifies you to latch on to a county and culture you know nothing about.

But the Polish-Americans I know in my part of the worlds are proud and hard working. I am going with that.

You are still talking a small percentage of people in the overall scheme of things,

Same goes for the United States where our population is 325 million compared to the UK of 66 million. Crime is higher per capita in the UK.

many of these states like north Dakota

There is barely any crime in these area and yet everyone owns guns and they can openly carry them as well.

Of course these states haven't been multiculturally enriched by the Libs and never will.
