Can Sir Patrick Moore (God rest his soul (when he dies, that is). I mean, Gamesmaster! Best show ever, with him giving you cheats and such!) actually play the Xylophone?

Are you asking if he plays the xylophone or are you asking will he play it for us?
Yes, he plays it, if that is the question you want answering... maybe we could do a gig like the Gorillaz and invite lots of guest musicians on... Rolf Harris on the board thing, maybe?

as i said, he is known for playing the xylophone, but its actually a glockenspiel. xylophones are made of wood, glockenspiels are made of metal. im quite sure what he plays is made of metal. people just think that any instrument of that type is a xylophone, but technically they arent. sorry to be pedantic

who cares, he's still in the band right? (we'd better move fast if we wanna get him recorded...i saw him on tv t'other day and he looked about ready to pop his clogs, he's probably as old as the sun)

Nothing Avant-Garde can ever be crap. That's the only theory that I truly believe in. If something's experimental, even if it's unlistenable, I'll probably enjoy it just because it's so daring! So not only are we the indiest band ever, we're also the most avant-garde. As such, we're the best band ever and we'd be able to sell out the MEN 366 days in a row. Tickets are £700.

Since someone's already playing lead triangle, can I play bass triangle? Or rhythm triangle? Wow, how about a double bass triangle, the ultimate triangle, 5 feet tall, played by hitting it with a tree branch?

Not that Im actually part of this band, which surely will be the band to end all bands, but you could play the gong?

It depends. You can get ones that stop making a noise if you actually touch them.
Well I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that!
