First-listen cognitive dissonance aside, I ultimately preferred the lower keys on some of the Genesis 80's/90's tunes in their later concerts (apparently set when Wilson was there and kept for the...

Ugh, yeah...most of my analog gear has that "quirk" too. With the band I always had to remember to fire up my rig about 30 minutes before we would actually start rehearsing or playing, so the Slim...

Interesting vibe to that trailer! The color boxes definitely hint at a Rhodes Chroma.

V Piano is really excellent for most of my "bread and butter" piano use cases. I also really like the Spitfire Felt piano sound, but that's still a bit more niche.

Augmented Piano has really...

It's a little jarring for sure (thankfully I'm somewhere between relative and perfect so I don't get twitchy as often as I might). I'm pretty sure Tony Banks DOESN'T have perfect pitch; I think I...

They aren't particularly good "bread and butter" synths. I wouldn't go to the Augmented Piano to find a good simple grand piano patch, for example. But for interesting textures as well as...

Meanwhile, setting aside the swirl over live and the future of professional musicmaking for a few...somehow "Asian synth porn" feels especially bad but in this case, I'm all in :lol

New offering...

I vaguely recall the liner notes for the GTR King Biscuit Flower Hour having some quote from one of the Steves saying that the other was becoming more fond of doing their own thing outside of...

*shrug* people change. Back in the 80's, that may well have seemed like a viable path forward (albeit briefly).

His playing hasn't aged a day, and kind of like Mark Knopfler (or another certain MK I might note ;) ), he rarely seems to hit a clunker :)

Or Dire Straits, etc..

But there are always exceptions and edge cases :) Henry's not wrong in the larger scheme of things :up

^^ nice!! Almost has a Depeche Mode feel to the look. Well done :)

Oh man...the rock blues band used to play this biker bar downtown in Richmond (Medley's, long gone now). Those bikers were legit awesome; they loved our shows and packed the house but also respected...

That's an AMAZING story, even if I'm sure the actual "hotness" versus "GIVE ME EYE BLEACH I CANNOT COPE" ratio was far too lopsided for silly personal fantasies :lol

At the strip club owner's...

Speaking for myself, it has varied. Some bands I've been in were all about that, and any bucks were bucks in their book. One band preferred to be paid in drinks at the bar :lol

I personally...

I'm definitely enjoying the Block :up

Also, this is tangential but sound sculpter Sawako Kato passed away a few weeks ago at far too young an age. This is a really lovely tribute article:

^^ You know, I started this thread to maybe spark some talk of personal highlights, but to be honest some of the craziest weird stories are every bit as entertaining :lol

Nudists?! I can see my...

There are highs on the different late-era albums from Waters, Gilmour and Wright that all have a bit of that spark of "what could've been" for me but I agree.

The best I could have imagined...

Ugh...yeah, I can imagine exactly that and that's nothing I want to go through.

Think of it as "Outside the Dream Syndicate" for rednecks :lol

Pretty sure someone else who would've been very thrilled to see a Skynard/John Cage collaboration would've been...John Cage.

Arguably the one soul who walked this Earth that would've been...

:lol:horns

I can close my eyes and see that scenario :lol

Not even in the same insanity wheelhouse as yours, but located at a crappy frat house down the road: did a gig with a band for a frat who required...

DG plans to tour this one. I'm certain that nothing whatsoever in this article is going to generate any discussion about setlist possibilities :lol:lol:lol

Oh yay, it's nice to have outside validation on that show :) As a minor aside Steve, you're also responsible for one of my personal fave memories from that ROSfest, a brief exchange in the men's...

The only musician I've personally known who supported themselves fully with their music was in around a dozen tribute bands, along with some original stuff. And arguably the most well-attended...

One of the practices that I particularly disliked was with a certain venue in the area that would book 3-4 openers for an act, and then require all of them to sell a minimum of X tickets themselves. ...

Just an idea that sprang to mind whilst discussing a tangential subject. Thought it might be fun since I suspect many of us have spent at least a few minutes on the noisy side of the stage (well,...

These sorts of conversations take time. Most people come here first and foremost for social/entertainment value, even those of us who are also musicians/artists ourselves. Networking does happen...

Ah, ok...interpretations of German folks songs. Makes sense :up

I'm guessing one of his 60's albums prior to A.R. & Machines?

There are a couple whom I know of, but I won't speak for them or tag them here. If they choose to participate, they will in due time. Not everyone checks in on PE regularly and it can sometimes be...

FWIW and it should come as no surprise but I agree with you (except my dad wasn't much a jazz head).

Needs more keyboards ;) :lol

Lots of great ideas in there! Almost got a bit of an XTC vibe in the vox. Thx for sharing :up

Yeah, I like it quite a bit. Enjoyed it on my afternoon road trip, in fact.

Cool, looking forward to hearing what you think :)

I would love to see some reform...I don't have the highest of hopes to be honest.

:lol Well, it's mostly drawing a distinction between just "I don't love everything she contributes" and the more black/white "she's a fraud and destroys everything she touches" that sometimes comes...

Great thoughts, great posts dude. I'm in IT as well and recognize what you were saying about AI.

And the above is very much how I see things. I bought a CD from a band called Fossil Aerosol...

I actually found myself thinking I'd spring for a deluxe copy IF it included an instrumental version of the album.

In general I don't hate Sampson's lyrics with a fiery passion, and I can...

I can't honestly say I agree with this. I think some of the old guard do it, but largely based on touring the nostalgia circuit. The younger ones that I can think of aren't really THAT young...

As to The Piper's Call, it's.....fine? I guess? It didn't turn me off as quickly as Dark Side Redux did, so...there's that I guess :lol

If nothing else, now I'm motivated to put on the Piper at...

The dropouts seem consistent so I think it's an error with the audio on the video itself, rather than bandwidth traffic.

Just finished...what a GREAT interview. Loved all the stories and his journey. Thank you again for sharing!!

Loved the bit about phoning the Residents for help with recording :lol

Were you here on PE previously under a different name?

Really? It's here for me: https://www.shudder.com/movies/watch/late-night-with-the-devil/a23cf7d1abbb7162

Landed last Friday so it's a very recent addition, FWIW...

Tanya Roberts..... :):up

Oh, that IS great. Can't read it all right now but coming back to finish later :) Thanks for sharing!!

Hi

IMHO start simple with the easiest means to share the recordings, and see what happens. I would suggest uploading videos to YouTube (they don't have to be actual music videos, it could just be...

It already came/went from theaters I believe. I watched it on Shudder :up

You are really not wrong :lol

:lol:lol:lol



Oh yeah, I get it. As a whole Rattle was a definite step down from On an Island (which I happen to really enjoy). But there are a couple of tracks that I still enjoy from time...

He's in a bit of an "old favorite artist" sweet spot for me....I don't expect miracles or masterpieces from him anymore, but he releases new stuff so infrequently that I really can't complain. ...

For those who are interested in that sort of thing...

While I appreciate your viewpoint far more strongly, sadly that's not the theme to the proverbial party these days.

Along similar lines (and I do apologize if this is repeated further back in this thread), "All You Need is Death" is very weird and very cool cosmic/folk horror. It isn't really the same, but it...

Ooh yeah, I really loved Late Night With The Devil :up

That's no way to spend your retirement, man!!!

Thoughts and prayers :down

Wow, very cool playing all around! Nice job :)
