How Guns & Roses can change your tune on wine

Heriot Watt scientist discovers the effect music has on our brains and tastebuds
Melanie Reid

Do not be surprised if restaurants start playing Wagner to disguise the taste of the house red. Scientists have discovered that music influences taste - and that listening to powerful, heavy music makes wine seem richer and heavier.

...

Professor North's research showed that when a powerful, heavy piece of music such as Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'N' Roses was played, people drinking a cabernet sauvignon thought it was 60 per cent more robust than when no music was played. The research could have implications, such as spelling the end of piped music in bars. It also raises interesting questions about music and food matching.

when a powerful, heavy piece of music such as Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'N' Roses was played,

[Farid Bak]

So , forbidden is starting a thread that vents frustrations towards something band-related, but this useless blabber is somehow worthy?

This really explains my alcohol intake durring the 5/14 Hammerstein show... Im glad I have a DVD because portions of the night got a little fuzzy. Of course the portions of the night not covered by the DVD are the ones I wonder and worry about the most.

[horsey]

You're right, and sometimes (for other bands), the booze makes the bands sound better.

Nah, that's not it.  I can see the humor in it, but I've seen more informative threads full of relevant opinions go down in flames fast, and I mean real fast.
This is just.....I don't know.  What purpose does this serve?  I'd personally rather read real fans' thoughts and criticisms on various things, an actual exchange of ideas, that's all

so why waste your breath?

personally i think its great that people are using GN'R for "experiments" even if its whacky....

Whine, whine, whine.

How interesting!

"Real fans".

yea, i know i come to a fan board just so i can hear how certain people are and how its never good enough and how miserable they are as gnr fans. 

[Atillla]

I assume you mean "real fans" like you and misterd or whatshisface. I think you all should have your own section called "Whiners and Broken Record Club Inc", where no one can see you lot and you can't see us when logged in...now that would be a Chinese Democracy 

[COMAMOTIVE]

Not " trying" to whine, and not making generalizations about any fans at all - Sorry that it came across that way

Was only trying to make a point about how someone can start a thread ( Not me, btw) about being pissed off that a tour was cancelled again, or the lack of info given by the band regarding the album, etc. and have it wiped away like a Tsunami, yet A post about how a Gnr song can make your wine taste sweeter surfaces without a hitch. 

Just seems silly

Again - sorry nothing more than wanting to see interesting Gnr news -  This post obviously does not do it for me, next time I will not even comment and keep to myself - no probs

[jarmo]

Just seems silly

Yes you do.
