Vrai's gonnna get you! :lmao:

He'd have to define "talent". Because if you're going on sheer musical ability, obviously Mike Nesmith was the only Monkee who had any. Even my beloved Mickey had to learn the drums to become a Monkee, and Davy was just cute and could carry a decent tune. Peter Tork was a musician but not like Nesmith.

But talent has so many different meanings. Nesmith without the cute front man is a session guitarist.

I'm saying that Nesmith was an actual musician (He may have been no Esteban, but he did more than bang a tambourine) :duckandrun:and a pretty good songwriter.

This sounds ignorant but since playing Rock Band, I have a new appreciation for musicians. That #### ain't easy. I can get through Medium on drums, and struggle mightily on Hard, forget Expert.

And Expert is what the real musician is playing. Effortlessly.

I'm okay with Mike Nesmith being above being a Monkee. But he was a Monkee, and I appreciate that.

:notworthy

He just wasn't as hot as Mickey and Davy.

Is it seamless? Because last time I heard you play it, it was somewhat choppy.

...see, this is a problem. You said "How long did it take me...?" and I said "Counting today?" as to say " I still ain't got it..." and you have to tell the whole world that I play LTTC choppy. Do you know how difficult that will make being seen in public, starting tomorrow, for me? An artiste?

Cut the hair and shave the beard. No one will know it's the same person. :yay:

Right. So don't you be picking on no Monkees.

"The least they could do is tune their instruments....."

:lmao:

And you should be able to serenade me with Monkee tunes by now. It's only been 10.5 years.

Did you know that when a certain guitar player started out on his career, he opened for them on a tour? Did you know this guitar players name was Jimi?
