There are programs for doing that, for instance Band in a Box.

Thanks, Dave. I figured there must be something like that available.

Axl Rose arrested in Stockholm

-snip-
Rose is alleged to have bitten a secuity guard in the leg outside the Berns Hotel, in Stockholm.


My comment (or question?) posed is:
Does anybody out there ever had heard of any of the Beatles (John, Paul, George, Ringo) ever displaying such conduct?

That is omitting the following, trashing hotel rooms, LSD, banging the girlies, adultery, group sex, etc...

Never heard of those Fab Four ever getting physical to the point of bodily harm.

Heavy Metal [EXAMPLE: GLASS CASKET, LINKIN PARK] (a good portion of that genre) seems hellbent on violence. Can't be a 'sign of the times' as they are in it for the money, mostly.

Where have all the flowers gone? :-|

They were pretty skinny guys but they were from the rough side of Liverpool. Greasers. Surely, you have seen the pictures of them in their tough guy leather jackets -- before Brian Epstein softened them. The Rolling Stones were more middle class. The Beatles were kind on the hoodlum side of things in their early days. They did a lot of speed in Germany. Ironic that the Stones were always the bad boys while the Beatles were perceived as nice kids. Good spin.

John Lennon did have some reputation for violence with women in his early days. He hit his first wife occasionally. He and Yoko split up for awhile and he went with another oriental woman.

Would John Lennon have bitten a policeman?

Maybe. Depends on the cop.

There are certain cops I would bite if given the chance and if I could be sure that I would not be arrested. I would not go biting willy-nilly in such a way that I could be caught. I would bite and run.

I don't know where you live but I can tell you that the cops in this county are idiots and deserve to be bitten. I would bite one in a heartbeat if I could avoid arrest. Fat chance that I would go to jail for an ounce of pig meat. I would never kill anyone but, if given free reign, I would bite every cop in this county. I would go on a bite binge.

Just not willing to go to jail for cop biting. Otherwise, I would bite every last one in sight.
