    Wow... you take this very seriously! Are you like 165 cm tall and you can't accept that in some countries even 190 isn't considered to be tall and that makes you feel bad about your own height?

    You've got one thing right: I am 165 cm :lol:

    And no, I don't feel bad about it. My fiancee is taller than me, and so are most of my friends. I guess that just like being tall, you get used to being short lol

    Now back to our discussion!

    21 percent of men taller than 190 cm

    "In 2020, more than 1 in 5 young men were at least 190 cm tall, 7 percent were at least 195 cm tall."

    So yeah, I don't know what google says about the average height here, but this is from my experience living here for several decades.

    Google can be full of shit sometimes, but I've failed to found even one source that says there's a country where 190 cm is average:

    https://worldpopulationreview.com/

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_human_height_by_country

    https://www.worlddata.info/average-bodyheight.php

    https://ourworldindata.org/human-height

    Now either you don't know what average means, or you're a troll.. now for fucks sake let's move on from this discussion..

    *unless, of course, you have a source that says otherwise (no, your tall friends are not a reliable source)

    Eddie: I remembered a point I wanted to make you know in the magazine Rolling Stone, it's this little magazine some of you might have picked up. There is a picture of me, you can see the front mikes, and the monitors, there is a TV, like a prompter, right there. Umm, a lot of bands use prompters now and I think that's a bunch of crap and if you don't feel the song, if you don't know it by heart, then I think you don't have any right singing it in front of like 20,000, 15,000, 5,000 even 100 people. So, anyway, I just wanted to point out that that was an old TV I found in the back of the alley of the Moore Theater here in Seattle that I put together in order to smash it that night on stage. I just wanna say to all the young budding musicians out there, don't invest in teleprompters like I just wanted that to be clear.

    Jeff: Didn't that TV when you found it have the lyrics to 'Paradise City' on it?

    Eddie: It did. It did. No, really!

    Yeah, many people criticized or made fun of the teleprompters and the whole UYI tour extravaganza, but it doesn't mean they didn't like the music or the band, especially the AFD era band.

    Alice Cooper, talked about whether Dylan use one or not, and said "as a singer I would be lost without my teleprompter"

    Tommy Stinson from 2009 blabbermouth

    Bass Player: Describe the writing process for "Chinese Democracy".

    Stinson: I came in around '98 when the band was still writing the record. It was Paul Tobias and Robin Finck on guitar, Dizzy Reed andChris Pitman on keys, Josh on drums and me. Everybody was just slowly starting to bring in ideas. We were set up at Rumbo Recorders, a big studio out in the middle of nowhere. A funny thing — Captain & Tennille own it. The whole thing looks like a boat. Anyway, we all just started hammering ideas out. Essentially it was eight guys collaborating. To be thrown into that kind of environment — eight guys from very different walks of life — was very crazy, I'd never worked in that way, but it was cool. There were guys who'd never ever made a record putting out their ideas. At first, those of us who'd actually made records thought their ideas sucked, but there were also some good ones.

    Bass Player: How did you work out your ideas in a civil way?

    Stinson: We each had to give reasons for liking or disliking something — you couldn't just be bull-headed. We had to function as a democracy or we'd end up hating each other. Collaborating was good for that. I think every one of us learned a lot from it.

     

     

    Derp derp derp derp

    They were hired guns, hired to write, hired to record and hired to preform. 

    A solo album doesn't mean going full Mike Oldfield I the studio, writing producing and playing every single instrument.

    Mark knopfler wrote almost every Dire Straits song, so does Danzig at Misfits. It doesn't mean those albums were solo efforts. 

    David Bowie, a solo artist, colaberted with many musicians- co-wrote songs together- and the albums were still considered solo.

    Do you believe everything you read on the internet that was  "fact-checked"? I provided stats from the UK government indicating that that there are more Delta deaths from fully vaccinated compared to not vaccinated. Are you saying the UK government is lying? Can you provide a source indicating the percentages?

    Priceless answer  coming from you :)

    That's from the link: According to data from the U.K., of the 257 deaths caused by the Delta variant, 92 people hadn’t been vaccinated (36%), 47 had received one dose of vaccine (18%) and 118 had received two doses (46%). Therefore, the majority of deaths (54%) were among persons who hadn’t acquired the full protection that is only provided two weeks after completing both doses of the vaccine.
