ChanMan Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Inspired by AXE's "Ode'", on the occasion of my 1000th post.... The 1000th Post (played in triplets a la Iron Maiden, starts in (A)....) (A) The 1000th post was drawing nigh, (A) He knew that it was do or die ©(G) to write some prose for all to see ©(A) committed to posterity (F) upon the forum (G) pages, by and by(A) For AXE did throw the gauntlet down with clever words of great renown an Ode unto the forum folk who jam Les Pauls and laugh and joke and always make our faces smile or frown (F) and the Forum folk rock (G) on and on © and (A) on.... 'twas years ago the lyrics flow that issued forth somewhere below had long since, untapped remained no verse, no chorus or refrain no guarantee that he could make it go But as it always had before the words came forth, but something more inspired by the forum's sight he had of Les Pauls, cool and mighty the inner muse oozed rock from every pore ...and the Forum Folk rock on and on and on.... Listening to the inner band Trusty Les Paul in his hand he cranked his amp up to "11" to get that tone that comes from heaven And the jam sang out across this mighty land So here's to you, my inspiration (and sometime's cause for my sedation) please tell your tales and post your pics it makes me jam to get my fix This ode to you: "Long Live the Gibson Nation!" and the Forum Folk rock on and on and on....

surfpup Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Killer. You should throw down a demo and post if for us. Now that would rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 ... but right now' date=' we need to tell Wolff that we started that last song just last night when we hit post 991.... This song is off our second 1000 posts.... it goes out to Dave.... this is called "The Endless.... Well!" [/quote'] So you guys collaborate on this stuff? That second one is even better than the first. I don't follow the math at all on your 1,000s of posts but coming from a guy that has less than 100, I always felt it's not how many posts you have but how interesting each one is. I'd be up in the 1,000s probably if that old forum wasn't closed to new members and I finally gave up on trying to join. You guys are a riot - this place is very entertaining(and informative). We need a better collection of smilies though - something worthy of Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar5day Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 E min comp It was late one dark and dreary night I arrived at the forum full of fright the click and clack of an old keyboard but their eyes were drinking every word I held my breath but I stood my ground and on my keyboard I started to pound. not to pontificate but perhaps to amuse while the shrerifs away I share my news. A post worthy of the one gones before a post delivered upon the the perilous score thier jaws dropped when they read thes post the look in thier eyes..theyd seen a ghost... He'd never passed through before it was his first post that's for sure. A ghost writer in the storm.. emin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Very scary... and welcome to the Forum! nah Wolff... it was a "VC"... virtual concert... "We" was my virtual band. When I started this thread It coincided with my 1000th post. Doesn't mean anything... just like 100,000 miles on your odometer. As the "encor" requested by Dave occurred after the first 1000 posts, it is from "my second 1000 posts". Again... it means nothing. Just an entertaining way to point out that, several months after joining, I have posted to the forum 1000 times. Sorry for the confusion... hope you enjoyed the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
