Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Tonight's track is actually quite special, but it's done well enough that folks didn't notice.

I shared it once in a thread that was lost to time due to Voat being down and it was never recovered. I do believe I've shared it once since then, and only once.

The song's called Video Killed The Radio Star and was written by a band named "The Buggles". It was the first song ever played on a new TV channel that we'd come to know as MTV. (Back then they played videos. Imagine that!)

But, that's where the similarity ends...

See, I got the tab from someone I've known of (and sometimes emailed back and forth a bit) named Sungha Jung. He arranged this when he was quite young, so I've actually taken his work and improved upon it (something not said without at least a touch of ego). Jung is far less known than he should be, as he's one of the greatest guitar players out there today.

But, he's had all sorts of pressure put on him and he's currently enjoying his adult years. Well, fairly early adult years...

Anyhow, there's some differences in this version (and I've shared the modified tab elsewhere):

Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star (share.fngt.gq)

I never shared it again 'cause it just didn't sound nearly as complicated as it is. At the time, I was doing a bunch of overly complicated tracks. This one slipped through the cracks of the listeners, more than it slipped through the real cracks. It wasn't until today that I decided to say fuck it and toss it out again.

Enjoy!

Niggers ruined MTV.

After Billie Jean came out niggers and their apologists demanded more nigger music. They said, "hey man look the great music made by niggers. Quit being so raycis and get mo' niggers on this channel." Yo' MTV Raps took over. The rest is history. Rap, hippity-hop, rap, hippity-hop. Yay! That's today's shit.

Niggers ruin everything.

LOL I suppose it depends on your definition of 'ruin'. A giant chunk of people like it how it is.

I'd agree with 'ruined', but they still have large chunks of people enjoying the channel. So, I don't think they'd agree with your assessment.

That sounds beautiful when you play it.

It's all one single track. There's no second track.

Awesome. That is impressive
