Can't wait for the Cleveland show, and to see them up close this time. Been obsessing since I caught them at Nearfest!

mkeneally, you hit the nail on the head. Music is such a joyful place of discovery, and people like you and Rachel display that so openly that it is infectious. I will just focus on that!

I am going to start inserting that into every solo I play and see if anyone notices.

I do remember Page saying that in an interview, but it was very long ago. I don't remember where I read it.

Count me in on The Firm fandom. I thought they were a great band, with pretty strong material give or take a few songs. Page really changed up his playing and his sound for the band, and came up with...

The music is fine, but that is really just a terrible chorus. The lyrics are not that great. Hope it gets better on the other tracks.

Actually, this is the second album I ever heard by Zappa. The first was "Freak Out". That is when I knew that I had a lot of ground to cover!

This is why I am on this message board. I did not know about this group. Let the obsessing begin!

My favorite is Steve Wash. He had power, emotion and pitch in equal measure. That faded with time though, and even at his peak, he is not the best singer I have seen live. DeYoung was picture perfect...

Banco were not known for vocal harmonies, but the Live Album "No Palco" has some amazing vocal harmonies in those arrangements.

I am more amazed on how much smug dickness you can fit into 2 replies. Glad you are here to enlighten us poor souls on what is real.

Energy, fire, passion. The three things that have been absent for far too long. This won't happen unless Howe, Squire and White really push hard to achieve something. All the Jons in the world can't...

Nearfest was such a profound experience for we the two times I went, that on my next CD I am listing them as a musical influence in the liner notes.

Jacob's Ladder from this tour had a real bite to them.

Yeah, that is missing quite a bit of material, and is missing the stuff I would want the most.

Meet and Greets with Yes = See how grumpy Howe can be, and how the rest of the band thinks it is really amusing. The rest of the band were so nice, and Steve was ok with the fans, yet the people...

I know these guys. Wait until you hear what they are working on now. They just keep getting better and better.

This is a project I used to test out home recording toys. It started out as a Black Metal parody, but developed into all sorts of weirdness.

"Behold The Doomicorn" is the one I actually stand...

I love this album, though it does have a few weak moments. Overall, it is the strongest work Mike has done outside of Genesis imo. Overnight Job could easily pass as a Wind & Wuthering outtake.

I am an admitted fan-boi of The Who, and a staunch defender of their move forward after Keith and John's respective deaths. I defend It's Hard as an excellent album, and Kenny Jones much-maligned...

I have to strongly disagree with anyone who would say the the first and last tracks are the weak ones, I would say they are the strongest. Looking for someone is a strong emotional performance that...

Skafish. They even used trons.

For all this talk of short lifespan of Ipods, I must be a very lucky guy. I have had one ipod nano. I got it as a christmas gift in 2008. It still works great. Still holds a good charge, and I have...

I could have posted the same picture to your first post in here. You just seem to have a hard-on for hating on vinyl that is as repetitive as the loop groove at the end of "A Day In The Life".

You should be skeptical about about vinyl, and not just modern vinyl. The truth is vinyl can be very amazing, and utter crap depending on who is manufacturing or mastering(the same can be said for...

Travis Barker? He is not a bad drummer, but best? He doesn't even rate imo.

I think as poppy as the album sounds now, it wasn't as much when it came out. Peter Gabriel brought the pop music industry slowly to his door on his previous solo albums. He does go for the motown...

Labeling bands as "Prog" or "Pop-prog" or "Neo-post-acidtrip-skunk-fuzz Metal" is great for help in finding new artists you have not heard, but you can base your search going down that road to see if...

Some of the best entertainers of our times are charlatans IMO.

But seriously, not liking Dylan. I get it. Trying to claim he has no talent or worth to the world? Fuck off and die! I mean that....

All I know is that I love that album to pieces. It has the weird distinction of not being one of my favorite Genesis albums, yet having some of my favorite Genesis moments. Many Too Many, The Ballad...

All the stuff they have "re-hashed" has been an improvement music-wise imho. I mean holy shit, the Grand Zombies reworking a few albums ago is mindblowing, and gives what used to be a snippet of a...

I'll just chime in to say that indeed, IZZ is amazing.

Wait a minute there, did you actually understand what she said? She said there were people there "acting like tourists". Not complaining that they WERE tourists. She was saying, if you are a guest at...

I liken him to guys like Slash. Very talented as a player and his ideas work in the right context, yet is plagued by being in the wrong situation over and over since their heyday.

Genesis is in total denial of how important Steve was to the band. I know that it was his strange guitar lines that drew me into the early albums. My first exposure to Genesis was all post-Hackett...

Thanks for posting this. Hippie is a bad word now, and it is fucking stupid. People getting wasted and only giving peace and Love lip-service is called being a loser. A hippie is one that believes...

Ok, so your opinion on his post-Floyd material proves documented facts wrong?

OK smartass,
more like these small songs like: Mother, Another Brick In The Wall (Oh shit, actually almost all of The Wall which was one of their biggest selling albums), Wish You Were Here ect....

Waters penned not only the biggest "hits", but the majority of the songs in Floyd. Yes they collaborated more early on, but the majority of post Syd music was taken up by Waters by %.

I don't blame him. I mean, fucking pay attention to the past 20 years much? Ever hear of google? Do these people live in a cave? And how is he milking his OWN fucking material? Why wouldn't he play...

My favorite Tull bass player. He was one of a kind.

Ahh, this board sometimes. :roll

Really, we are going to question Carl Palmer's legendary status? Give me a break.

Not to mention, the post on his facebook is a joke anyway. Leave it to certain...

I adore Harper, and this one is not my favorite, but it is a damn fine album. His latest one is killer, and I loved The Dream Society a lot. "Drugs For Everybody" is a stone-cold Harper classic!

People try to make me feel guilty for these, but I refuse.

Lady Gaga- all of her stuff. It is fun and I like her style.
The Who- It's Hard. Yep, Keith Moon is not on it. Yep, it is different...

Count me as one of the people, though a prog fan I will always be, when it comes to Fate's Warning I'd rather hear the metal era. Their take on prog makes me sleepy.

So tear that thing open and...

Thanks. I have that sound saved as "Firthmoog" on the DX-7.

I purchased a DX-7 for 140 bucks a few years ago, and I was amazed at the sounds I got from it. I created 10 patches, and still have those saved. They really were not that hard to program, but I have...

The thing she is showing him is NOT easy. Most rock players don't play with that kind feel. She is showing him what a simple change of putting the high octave on a different part of the beat makes...

Imagine being accused of such a thing, and being innocent? Since you have no concrete evidence on hand, and really have no idea of the whole scope of the investigation, to assume guilt and intent is...

I will second that. It seems a huge waste when they have such a great rhythm section in Zak, Simon and Pino. They need to record "live" in the studio, and rock out. The Endless Wire was a decent...

I got to see him open up for Jim Capaldi and Dave Mason one time. He was amazing!

I think the songs are pretty good. Too bad they are ruined by a complete lack of energy from the rhythm section. Most of the songs are at the same tempo, which is middle-paced, only to be broken up...

The clips sound fantastic, as I knew they would. You will always be able to count on my purchase of anything you put out.

The trio, woohoo! Cinci trip is in my future.

You obviously know nothing at all about Tom. He didn't come on the scene a clean and sober man with wife and kids. He was a man who battled real demons for years. He drank and smoked his voice to a...

Easy for me: Limp Bizkit doing Behind Blue Eyes. It doesn't get much worse than that!

I also hate Smoking In The Boys Room by Motley. Every time I hear the into with Neil blabbing away, it just...

I like what I am hearing so far in both previews. That is more than what i was expecting. The singing is great (I have not had the pleasure of hearing his vocals at all before). I will buy it.

If you don't like Tom Waits, well Mom always said different strokes for different folks. My Mom was wrong, love Tom Waits or I hate you. ;P

Sure, that is fine and all, but it is not a complete concert from that tour. And it is not all in one place. Doesn't really scratch that itch.

They should have released a whole concert from this tour on CD. The video is smoking, and even that is edited down a bit from the full set. I also notice a lack of any Big Generator tour recordings....
