More Greatest Hits of the Monkees vs. More of the Monkees

In a 1980s Rhino Records interview (as recapped in The Monkees Tale), Nesmith referred to More Greatest Hits of the Monkees — NOT More of the Monkees — as "badly played, badly sung, marginally recorded, and they're weak tunes." This is a 1980s COMPILATION he was referring to, BY TITLE, NOT an original 1960s album. TWICE now someone has changed this to More of the Monkees, which Nesmith referred to in a 1967 press conference as "probably the worst record in the history of the world." Two DIFFERENT ALBUMS, folks. Zephyrad 04:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Just where was this monkey born I ask you?

The article says he was born in Houston Texas and Dallas Texas. I'm not saying the article is wrong, just it would be difficult to pull off being born in two cities that are 250 miles apart. Not much mention of what an amazing guitarist Mikey is either. Listen to the solo in Valerie. Just sayin'...And Gretsch had a signature Monkey's guitar model that was sold to the public... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.233.178.253 (talk • contribs)

Harris County, Texas. "Robert Michael Nesmith" on countyhistorian.com
The guitar solo in "Valleri" was played by Louis Shelton. Nesmith did not keep up on guitar after the 1970s; Davy Jones commented in the 1980s that Nesmith "would need a few workouts in the gym" to be back up to performance level. Peter Tork had to take over as lead guitarist when the Monkees reunited in the 1990s, because Nesmith could no longer play the riffs to songs like "Last Train to Clarksville" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday".
