Peter Green is called Greenie but played greeny
Hi,
how come that "Greenie" and "Greeny" get mixed up in this forum all of the time? I've been told that Peter Green is called "Greenie" but his kind of guitar style is called "greeny". At least Mick Fleetwood (who should have known best) calls Peter Green "Greenie". Is there any difference? asks, Popmuseum |
greeny or greenie
Dear Popmuseum,
since birth I have been called vinnie (amongst other things) People who write to me write vinnie or vinny with their discretion. I was told once that I should not call myself vinnie as in english it is a diminutive of Vincent (my proper name). English as a language is crazy. I personally don't see the difference. I think you can use either one as Peter most likely doe not refer to himself ad either one. vinnie c and doodiehead |
greeny and greenie

The Jolly Green Giant

I don't like either Greeny or Greenie because it always reminds me of an english commercial (I think it was) - "The Jolly Green Giant" - that was supposed to make children eat more vegetables! Anyway - it is great news that he will appear in public again, but anxiously I can't help wondering: who else with be there with him? Ms Moose(y) |
Thank you so much for posting, Popmuseum!!! :D
Somebody got to record this!!! Reminds me of how great he looked at those new videos at MOJO and that other place. I too wonder who's gonna be there with him. Probably that guy from those videos on rhythm guitar. Perhaps brother Michael?? Anyway, I hope he gets a good band with him, hopefully some sympathetic players who can support him rather than drown him. I'd rather take a verse of muted/silent Greeny while he gains new inspiration, than an other flashy lead guitarist who steps up as soon as Peter calms down a bit! :nod: I really hope there'll be more gigs, and that he gets a solid and stable band. He mentioned in a recent interview that he's been jamming with some musicians from Spain. It could be them...? |

doodiehead, I like that. :thumbsup: |

I'm not fluent in English :). I think both forms are correct. But I'm going to use "Greeny" because I've been accustomed to it since Gary Moore "Blues for Greeny" tribute album ;) Regards Krzysztof |

We've been "without" Peter now for the most part since 2003. Nigel might have played too many solos and Peter didn't write any songs for the Splinter Group, but at least it was a solid band where Peter could blossom and enjoy himself! Now finally it seems like something is happening again. And then of course somebody has to write such stupid bull****! :eek: The new videos shows a man enjoying himself! You can call it "manipulation" or "encouragement" but as long as he enjoys playing, then that should be enough for me and you and everybody to keep quiet! Quote:

At this point in his career Peter is entitled to do whatever he wants. Problem is, he always has to contend with peoples' expectations ("will he be up to the task" - Snoot!) and the "guitar hero" role, something he is obviously no longer interested in doing. He's not the same player as in the 60's, and that's not the style of playing he's into now. Would be nice to see him do some experimental stuff, not just the same old BMW again. |
