To each her own. As long as you're not ranting about lynching the guy and chopping his hands off. Or telling me I should fight and battle with my own taste until I agree with you.
;)
Yeah Maisky is undisputedly the best cellist of all times.
He made two recordings, the 1st in 1985 (about the same time as in the vid you linked):
the 2nd from 1999:
- i'd be hard-pressed to say which one is better. Probably the latter, but just marginally - it's even more pared down & distilled.
There are others who played it pretty good too (Yo Yo Ma etc.) but after MM you wouldn't go back to those.
just gave your linked version a watch. was fucking fantastic fun! could hardly hear the music over the sound of that tourettee's head smacking the cello repeatedly. then the retard went full ape, large knuckled hands pounding the cello. i absolutely lost it. lol!!
Haha, exactly!!! 
Check out Gavriel Lipkind too, totally different but not bad at all! Just getting into it..
by XenaAs long as you're not ranting about lynching the guy and chopping his hands off.
by AerynFrellMeSRSLY? You want to cut the guy's hands off and torture him bc you don't like his technique. That's a put down. You're putting him down.
And why should i not?
You’re the one having a problem with my assessment of that clip. And what says it all:
Again, could you write and play a better cello suite than The Cello Guy?
- apparently you hadn’t even a clue that the piece wasn’t “written†by your “cello guy†but he butchered a move of one of Bach’s cello suits into that shyte. (And THAT’s the problem here, not his skills / the lack thereof.) In short, you’re trying to pass your ignorance as “differing tastesâ€. Guess what - it won’t fly. See, you could’ve remained just silent instead of harping on about “purists†and “snobsâ€, then you wouldn’t have made an arse out of yourself yet again.
Most people who care more about being impressed than impressing others don't try to push their tastes on others or tell them they need to fight a battle to come up to said pleasure seeker's standards.
I don’t give a toss about what others like, everyone is entitled to their own taste. But when people try to flog their heartfelt opinions about stuff they know jackshyte about, then it’s a different matter.
You can enjoy your pop (metal or whatsitscalled) all you like without ever getting a bad or good word from me about it, as it’s not something i have an objective view upon. (Personally i find it dull & dumb so i don’t listen to metal, but that’s only me - to each one’s own indeed, as they say.)
Then why write a whole page about it?
A page? Even with this decidedly long-ass post of mine (gotta fill the time between two Jap auctions) you’re still ahead of me in effort expedited on the matter.
Or telling me I should fight and battle
That’s your thing. In every other post (here & pf too) you beg people to come and “fight†you, like, in person. “Wanna rassle†(whatever the hell ‘rassle’ means in your idiom, sounds fisgusting...) As if people would give a flying fuck about your unfulfilled paranoid delusions (frustrations) and repressed hatred towards the external world. Frustrated people are fighty and paranoid.
Speaking of paranoid delusions, I’ve seen on chat that you keep folders on people (god knows with what, saved skype chat-logs i guess?) Like, WTF, man? Hello?? The Stasi was disassembled a good 25 years ago, none of the comrades passed you the memo? 
Speaking of skype, you vehemently denied left right & center having anything to do with skype since jan. or so. MHG/SC was full with your “i’m not on skype, you liars!†stuff not that long ago.
Turns out you’re not only stirring the shit as usual but even “spent hours with typing out the rules†of your skype groups (yep, i caught that line too) lol. Ever thought about getting a life? (Like, a real-life life - or is RL so cruel to you that you resigned to live out all your fantasies online?)
And speaking of chat, i was oddly moved by this line:
17:17 - AerynFrellMe: That's a tough one to pull off, tho. I still haven't figured out how to stroke people without coming off as a saccharine coated sycophant like wooster.
- that’s a first. Nobody ever called me a sugarcoated saccharine sycophant before, so i’ll cherish that remark forever.. 
Frankly, Xena, I’m on the tipping point where the piss-taking turns into genuine pity & concern. Maybe you’re really as much deprived/depraved/disadvantaged as you used to allude to in your sob stories back on PF - but for sure you're one of the most fucked-up individuals i've ever encountered, online & off.
Taking a step into off-line life (and a self-reflective sabbatical from the internetz) might be your best life-strategy. Ever considered the possibility of a power-cut or a computer failure? And where that rude awakening to reality would leave you all in a sudden? Just food for thought.
Ok, so where were we. That “cello song†you linked. It’s crap. Stick to your things (clit pumps, marxism, dieting, you name it) then you’re golden. There’s nothing wrong with being a dwork, as long as you know your place.
You wanna extra fat-free saccharine coating with that?
Wrong again, dear. I left mhg bc it's lame. Nova left my account Inactive for me. I can go back any time I want. I simply see no point in conversing with the same 10 people about the same 3 boring subjects every day.
You mean you tried to get me banned from mhg and it didn't work. Just like you try to cause me some sort of upset and it doesn't work. That doesn't stop you from trying to convince everybody else that you've succeeded or that your batshit delusions have some kind of purpose.
Cain says hi, btw ;)
I've never been on mod preview on PF. Where do you get these silly ideas? lol Maybe I'll scoot over there and do a post for Wichita Lineman. He'll vouch for me. He always has.
I see you're still linking to the rape apologist argument. What is that? Like 30 times this year? Do you not remember anything else? Do you not grasp the fact that everybody here has already read your first 3 ridiculous SC posts about that link and ignored the others? Like 20 and more times now? lol
Usually when somebody has to go back to the same point in time over and over, that's the person who's wound up.
What's bothering you, little blue footed booby? You've jacked another thread with this and brought Xena straight back to SC. You must truwy wuv me. lol
And nowhere in any of my posts did I ever claim that The Cello Guy wrote Bach's cello suite.
That's just you trying to put words in my mouth again. Creeper. lol
So you do have smthg to prove. It's not about the music at all.
Yeah I wasn't on skype from January to March. I got back on in June. I'm off again. Blah blah blah.
Poor woostie expects people and the things they do to stay the same forever or she calls them liars blah blah blah. I didn't like brussels sprouts froma age 4-6. I loved them from age 6 to 20. I changed my mind and decided I don't like them anymore for the rest of my adulthood. Does that make me a liar? You really need to get out of your black or white thinking. It'll drive you crazy. lol
I left mhg in late June.
And anybody who can read and do math can compare line for line. You've written probably 3x as much as I have here.
Yeah, I said you're a saccharine coated sycophant. Not sugar. As in phony asskisser.
Idc what you like. I do care that you went on a big rant about how I deserved to get hit for calling a guy a punk and I'm a monster for fighting the stupid twit who hit me for it.
And now you're going on about lynching and dismembering some musician bc you don't like his style and expecting not to get told off for your rudeness.
If anybody ever hits you for your stupid rants you'd better not fight back. People might think you're crazy or smthg. lol
Then when I tell you off for acting like a bloody mongrel dog about smthg as subjective as musical tastes, you go straight back to clit pumps and Marxism. Is that some kind of fixation for you? Did some evil Marxist threaten to put you in a gulag and do awful things to your clit or smthg? Is that why you hate pop music so much? lololol
Damn. Yeah. I told everybody about my computer problems several times over the last 2 weeks. And here you are trying to make it sound like it was all your idea. Shoulda kept your stupid mouth shut about that. I would have left quietly and been out of your hair.
Now you're stuck with me. I'm not putting my PC on the curb till it dies its final death.
Like I said in chat, you people must do this bc you miss me when I leave. You all know from years of experience that picking a fight with me is the surest way to make sure I hang around for another month or 3. >:)
