Remember that for a past tour Guy did provide the rehearsed setlist but refuse now.

No, it was after the cancelled 2003 tour he revealed the songs rehearsed.

he never did before a tour, and after not very often.
You might get lucky, now and then

I really hate it when I write something in that forum and some boot licker shows up to twist my words.

Don't know if he's a member here, but Roland Dent has the knack of infuriating me.

btw, lots of interesting posts today, and Guy seems to be in a better mood in general since a few weeks... there is one post of a poster who calls himself
"Jackal"... do you think it is our ancient and heavily missed Jackal? The YouTube clip he posted is a hint that it might possibly him indeed... . ;)

Still cannot believe he implied that Mark's guitars could be confiscated in Brazil because "they are made from a protected type of hardwood". Some people need to get a life! South America isn't the end of the world! Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart and many others don't come here every now and then because the wanna drink caipirinhas - nor for charity. The distance isn't an excuse either, USA and Canada are not that closer.

Sorry about the outflow, guys. I've calmed down now...

Oh, not really important - it seems it was shortly before you entered AMIT! Jackal was a member who contributed a lot to the forum, played guitar and had a good sense of humour. I remember him running a literatur blog... and suddenly he was gone, without a fight or any offence, he was just .. gone.

Please do not interpret too much into it: There are always changes - people come, people go, and some other also decided to leave... but after several years of posting together I tend to be .. clingy!  ;)

A really great thing however is the fact that during the last weeks/months so many other new members decided to take part here, and post on a regular base - always enriching our daily output! That includes you, of course!  8)

Thanks, LE:) I really don't know why I didn't join AMIT before.

Re Jackal, maybe he's just taking some time off. I did it myself recently, didn't post in Guy's forum for about 6 months, just couldn't be bothered.

Being here is great, makes me remember of the time I thought I was alone on the island - 'are there other people like me out there?'. Glad there are:)

( i don't know how to copy...so I did this)

hahaha. Yep! I put up that vid of the Dude...not for Paulo...but for Roland. Sometimes I too just want to yank that guy. Actually, I kind of like his bizarre-ness...it's just different. Thing that gets me most about it is, it's so classically the stereotype of the snobbish Brit--and it seems so surprising he has the nerve to do it to even Guy--another Brit.

There's nothing about Dent that I find typically British. He's just a total screwball.

I have also noticed that Guy's answers are much more friendly now. That's nice. Maybe he just went through some difficult time. It happens.

I have do defend Roland Dent a little bit me thinks:

Apart from that latest story where he accuses Guy not to know anything about cars, he is friendly and helpful most of the time. I once had a story with him about using a term which upset him because he thought it was military and I was German... but since then, I guess it is more some penetrant kind of nitpicking in a way. Never understood the Senior thing (is there a junior either at Guy's forum?) And he changes locations all the time.... Funny guy somehow...  ;)

I can't make my mind up about Roland. He is happy to accept advice/information on things he knows little about, but he certainly has his own  views on things !  As far as him moving about. His first posts were all from Tow Law, but I wonder if he is a long distance lorry driver, as I have also seen them from various locations in Europe. ?
