U miss judge the situation here sir. Not surprisingly.
Krops, I've tried 5-7 other forums. This one is by far the best BECAUSE peeps question the sports authenticity. Sure we are sometimes off the Marc, but thats our strength NOT our weakness.

Nobody on the forum hates the sport. Our passion makes us notice and voice the chances for the sport to be even better. We are a small minority of sportsviewers want it to be more popular. I think it should be mandatory viewing for everyone with a sport bike.
Krop, I gotta give Jum this one...the way u talk about the sport/MM being "beautiful" is a bit too sweet.

I wanted to "like" this post. Then I saw that Migs had already liked it and alas, I was forced to withhold my praise.
Agreed, we need a tire war in this series. Desperately!

You presumably don't spit at him because you don't like his playing and consider it an insult that he and Jack Bruce are both called bass players. If you and others did, Billy Sheehan's attitude might be different.
Ask another bass player, one Roger Waters, a member of a band who garnered far more acclaim and wealth from fans than Stoner ever did; his band stopped touring and he wrote a (rather turgid imo) album.

Good call, reminds me of an interview with bass player Billy Sheehan. He said in it how some folk complained about spending time with fans and signing autographs. His attitude was, "If someone has followed my music, and taken the time to ask for my autograph, I'M honoured, and will give them the time." I've never been a fan of his playing, but that made me think he is a cool guy. I also liked that after he got an endorsement deal with Yamaha, he sent his signature basses back after a tour, saying they weren't his, as he hadn't payed for them!
For Stoner fans this post says "Stoner is a poof, Rossi is God and I am a 10 year old girl who loves yellow."
Peace

True. Riding a GP bike is still a mind-blowing spectacle, but MotoGP has little substance beyond the spectacle of riding. The current tech regs also undermine the prodigious skills of GP champions, by suppressing manufacturer participation, and over-emphasizing fuel efficiency and engine reliability.
I don't think people remember how good it used to be. MotoGP fans were a bunch of partiers who made fun of F-none fans and Napcar fans. Every year brought new rumors of outside teams like Motocycsz, Ilmor, etc. The hardcore fanbase was growing rapidly. The motorcycle market was surging. MotoGP was a product that sold itself, which certainly explains the strategy Dorna created to move MotoGP to terrestrial TV and update to digital formatting and online TV.
After the global credit meltdown, other racing series have recovered quite rapidly. MotoGP is still trudging through the swamp of its prior mistakes.

As a fellow Scot, it pains me to say that Jack Bruce is one of the most overrated bass players on the planet. And from stories from friends who know and have worked with him, he is in fact a bitter and twisted wee man, with a chip on his shoulder that would make Casey look well adjusted!
Roger Waters, now you are talking, he was never Jaco, but he can write a song. I have never listened to anything by Floyd since The Final Cut out of principal. It's like Thin Lizzy touring without Phil Lynott. The Final Cut is one of my favourite albums by the way, and Guy Pratt, who took the bass gig in Floyd is one of my favourite bassists, but I would not listen to him with Floyd. I have met and chatted wi him, and he is a seriously cool and funny guy. (Pardon the Pun)

Bruce was in the right place at the right time and he filled the spaces as required. His strengths were as a composer and a ............ of a singer. His blues vocals were really great. Made Robert Plants' blues stylings sound like that of a frippy flower-child ....
