Give 'Em Enough Rope Album Cover

[Chuck Mangione]

It's a technical glitch on the band's meisterwerke.

It's fine the way it is, no? What's that saying "the flaws make the masterpiece"?

(I'm paraphrasing but there's gotta be some saying like that)

(I'm paraphrasing but there's gotta be some saying like that)

But the flaw wasn't there to start with. Slight difference.

[Rat Patrol]

Can anyone recommend earplugs that filter out discordant bell sounds?

I can, but it would infringe on patents wholly owned by M. Jones Enterprises, Inc. Call up Baker...he can confirm.

[Wolter]

You know what? Fuck it. I hate all music now. Fuck anyone who ever put sounds together in an arranged sequence to create a reaction in other humans.

On a related note, I hate language, clothing, and 95% of toolmaking.

[Dr. Medulla]

To bring peace back to the kingdom, I have fixed the offending sound effect. Your adulation is payment enough.

Now look what you guys have done!

Next he's gonna say he hates the Cubs.

[BR16ADE_R055E]

I'd just like to hear the bell to sound as it should, as it was originally intended to be heard. I'm not the only one.

Yes, Briggy. I am pretty sure you are the only one deeply, humorlessly bothered by this.

Really? Not Heston, Flex, or JohnS? They were just taking the piss, right? Note that I wrote "I'd just like to hear the bell," not that "I need to hear it or I'll die."

Don't you have better things to do like making yet another copyright-infringing, unfunny, borderline creepy meme/GIF?

I said deeply, humorlessly. That's you...not Heston, Flex, JohnS.


Why don't you press the number under "Fire" on your cell phone and have Baker settle this one for us? There might be a few people yet unconvinced you aren't the most doting, literalist superfan this band has ever had. Or file a DCMA takedown request to protect the band's honour from my MS Paint doodles and lost royalties from the Megalist. Because, you know, that copyright infringement faux-intimidation has gone over oh so well here in the past when somebody feels like pulling that trump card.

But that's the point: I'm not "deeply, humorlessly bothered" by the dodgy bell. What part of "I'd just like to hear the bell to sound as it should, as it was originally intended to be heard" sounds like I'm "deeply, humorlessly bothered"? That's just you hyperbolizing again.

The fact is that Heston and JohnS would like the original bell restored, too. Like I wrote, "I'm not the only one."

So I asked The Baker a question about "The Last Testament." He was there, so he should know. What's wrong w/ getting info from a primary source? When you saw B.A.D. in 2011, did you talk to Mick Jones? Did you ask him questions about The Clash? No. It's a lot safer and easier for you to hide behind your computer anonymously and take the piss out of Mick, et al.

Wouldn't it have been nice to get answers directly from Mick himself for a change instead of merely regurgitating what you've memorized in various Clash-related tomes?

The "copyright-infringing" part was tongue-in-cheek, not meant as intimidation or whatever. It was a joke. Who's the humorless, literal one?

You are really bad at arguing, Briggy.

Furthermore, you know goddamn fucking well the context the "copyright infringement" charge has been levied on this board in the past by people annoyed about insufficient deference to band insiders. There is nothing tongue and cheek about it, because we know damn well you were rooting for that team when it got thrown around in the Vince thread.

You said it...you own it now. Please proceed, superfan. Explain to us the ways we owe it to the band.

[Chuck Mangione]

I have Vince's number. He rings me up all the time.
