These go to eleven
sometimes when I’m at the gym doing my PT…pumping iron…I wonder: “If our number system was higher than a base ten system, would people be stronger? If we used a base 11 system would everyone do a little bit more?”
“It’s not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? ”
“I don’t know. ”
“Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? ”
“Put it up to eleven. ”
“Eleven. Exactly. One louder. ”
“Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? ”
[pause]
