The symphony has a conductor; the rock band has a drummer. Some conductors are legendary genius types who commit the details of perhaps twenty different instrumental parts of a half-hour work to memory. The more human ones have the score in hand. They always cue the critical entrances, so if a "musically deficient" trumpet player gets lost , there's no danger of his blaring out a high "C" at fortissimo when in fact the flute is supposed to be playing a low "C-sharp" at pianissimo. The skilled conductor who is "on top of the situation" will bring the trumpet player in at exactly the right spot. Rock drummers can be musically...http://www.englishforums.com/English/Text/hdgpn/post.htm#602333Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:32:43 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:602333Newguest2http://www.englishforums.com/English/Text/hdgpn/post.htm#602333http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-602333.xmlHi I have one more question Over the years the band has really struggled with musical deficiencies, so just playing together can be a challenge. Live shows can be a bit like an obstacle course and occasionally we fall over. So I try to be rock-solid. I would like to think that if there is any confusion about where anybody is in a song, they would know that, as their drummer, I would be on top of it. Easier said than done. --- I'd like to ask you about the explanations of the last but one sentence above, it starts with the words "I would like to think.." Can you somehow rephrase it for me, so that it sounds clearer?

(don't really know) The implication seems to be that someone in the crowd had reason to be offended by the lyrics of the song, and that as performers, the members of the band understand that the singer is only a conduit, and is not personally invested in the subject matter of the lyrics (therefore not responsible). But this makes absolutely no sense, since many prominent band members write the songs, and are very much involved IMO. 2. Same subject. The audience may assume that the emotions of the performers derive from the subject matter of their songs (eg., injustice ). But in actual fact, their emotions derive more from the everyday realities - problems - of being on stage (eg., we really suck tonight). But we have to put on a...http://www.englishforums.com/English/Text/hdgpn/post.htmThu, 26 Feb 2009 04:32:43 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:601388Newguest6http://www.englishforums.com/English/Text/hdgpn/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-601388.xmlHi guys I have some problems with the comprehension of certain lines below. If I had problems with something I set a type in boldface. 1. And when someone says, 'Hail, man of peace,' I can hear Larry laughing under his breath: 'You're lucky he didn't nut you.' The band are very bemused by my attraction to non-violence, because they know you couldn't get further from the songs than the singer . --- What does he mean by saying that you cannot get further from the songs than the singer? 2. There is a rage in me and it is not all injustice . I have developed good manners to disguise it. I am better at it now, but it used to be difficult to talk to me after a show, because I would be very...
