Was this it?

Not sure about the Marillion gig, but that would make sense given h's connection with Barbieri.

Now do Metallica's Blackened. I lose track after a while because there are so many shifts, but I count the main riff as 7/4, the verse as 6/4, the chorus as 4/4, and then the middle section before...

As fuzzy as a monster movie-sized bumblebee:

Yes, very sad and a huge loss to the acting world. Consider what could have come from him in the decades since. You probably know this, but for anyone who doesn't, it's an interesting trivia tidbit:...

I can hear it now. Melancholy and atmospheric renditions of Nothin' But A Good Time and Shout At The Devil.

The Cider House Rules - This was one that passed me by back when it was released but I had always heard good things, and I thought it was very good. Michael Caine was excellent and the cast was...

I watched the Soft Machine Facelift DVD this afternoon with several coffees. Absolutely brilliant! What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. :cool

I love that era of Gong.

I'm on episode 8 now, this is truly a binge-worthy show, and I'm totally going to be in the mood for a Godfather I & II blu-ray re-watch.

One thing I've noticed in this TV series though that I...

The DVD had faulty streams which led to missing bits of music. Some people said they barely noticed a difference, but I heard it straight away. Fortunately EMI provided replacement discs for anyone...

I'm four episodes in and really enjoying it. I'm so impressed with the actors playing Pacino and Brando, they've done their homework. Not so wild about the guy playing Sinatra though. As a huge...

Taken from their official Facebook news page:

Massimo Morante, founding guitarist for the legendary Italian progressive rock band and horror film scorers Goblin, has passed away at age 70. The...

Opening acts for Genesis? How about this one:

16097

1976 mainly, when Yes were playing some of the solo songs in their set. I believe they were also on the same bill a few years earlier, '73-ish, not sure how many shows though.

Well to be fair, it's virtually nothing like Metallica! :) And I agree, it's great!

What? He says he's already got one! Can we come up and have a look?

This album did very little for me, personally. To my ears, it falls squarely in the 'more of the same' category plaguing a lot of bands/artists over the last several years. I've heard the quiet,...

Oh I love that idea! :cool



And that one. Not that I'll follow through, but I could, and I would never tire of it, I'd wager.

? That's one vibe I never got from them.

It's 2 CDs and a DVD; I'm not a vinyl guy anymore. ;)

Get more Ozrics!

My wife likes a lot of the music I listen to, but she won't need (or want) to hang on to the physical collection I've amassed. We've already discussed it and she of course has my blessing to sell it...

Yeah, it was a good visit today. :cool

Popped into the local record shop today and grabbed the latest Soft Machine archival release as well as 801 Live and Ozric Tentacles - Erpland. While I was there, a guy bought the new Fripp mega-set...

NP: Disc 6, Black Napkins (first one).

Homer Simpson drooling face...

I haven't heard Igor's album but I've always really liked Wakeman's 'Airs' piano trilogy of albums, particularly Sea Airs, which has some lovely pieces on it.

I wonder if this is partly responsible for Broadsword being pushed back to spring of next year? I was told 'manufacturing delays', but that's such a vague term...

I think so many people have cried out for its reissue that they knew they could sell a ton of them without adding anything. If people shell out $300 for them on the secondhand market, they are...

Burning Shed pre-order:

Yep, for those who missed out!

From the official page:

We’re excited to announce the 50th Anniversary Edition of Thick As A Brick, out on half-speed mastered vinyl in the incredible original...

Ahhh, so there's no shortage of talk of Hillage and Jobson and Gavin Harrison then. :p

I get that. For people who are learning about certain bands or styles, a show like yours is an invaluable tool. If this technology had been around when I was 16 years old and just starting to branch...

Oooohhhh an M+M reference! Rare nowadays. :lol

Yep, I've interviewed all three Spock's singers actually! Here you go:

https://www.velvetthunder.co.uk/nick-dvirgilio-right-place-right-time/

Nick is one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed. 100% genuine and just was just as interested to talk to me as I was to him.

Zappa - Erie discs 4, 5, & 6
The Pink Floyd - 1970 Devi/ation blu-ray

^^^ Squire stealing the show, you just had to love him. :cool

Despite my usual gripes about the way they altered Starship Trooper live, it was still a vital part of the show.

...and what I assume is a review of Zappa's Studio Tan.

Arrived today, spinning disc 1 right now as I rip the rest. Sounding fab! :cool

There have now been three new boxes (Erie, Mothers 1971, and 200 Motels) since I took my last Zappa collection...

I have to admit, that was a pretty energetic medley they played:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwaGv7r0VxE

Silent Wings begins around 22:45. I don't think Sherwood was the issue with...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkvVoPRG3XY

Actually I forgot about Subversia. I was thinking of All The Rage, which is more Camel-esque than his previous, with or without NM.

I remember them well. Guy LeBlanc (RIP) went on to play with Camel as well, and did a fine solo album too.

Here's a ton of video from the show, including the Siberian Khatru that fell apart:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbxH118cAVSkGusmT5cxXIyPghbwj0Sry

That reads like someone fed a few dozen random descriptors into some sort of writing software and had the AI produce something resembling a review.

So it's even more abridged than simply hacking off the lengthy intro. Apparently the solution to that tricky Wakeman solo is to simply cut that section out of the song as well.

Absolutely, I loved watching that. And last year or the year before I watched the film he finally did get made, which I liked. I also quite liked The Zero Theorem.

So I'm not the only one! I actually have watched them in that order, over the course of a week or so. Not that I ever considered them a trilogy of course, but that's an interesting way to think about...

You guys are SO old. :O I won't be 50 til December.

Is that the way you'd generally describe Glasgow audiences? :rofl

Just saw a clip of the opening of the show someone posted on FB. Silent Wings doesn't have the long jazzy opening; after 'Firebird...

I really hate the way Howe mucks around with the 'Würm' chords at the end of Starship Trooper, and that's nothing new, he's been doing it for decades. They've just never sounded right to me all...

I'll try to remember to grab a slot when the promos come around. The previous interview was for the magazine, I can send that to you if you'd like, since you probably never saw it (UK publication). I...

Nice, I always enjoy these. The songwriting leans towards the more commercial end of things, but it's always well done. I like John Mitchell's kind of modern, polished sound with the wisps of old...

I'll be 50 in December, and I've really noticed it flying by the last several years. Seems to go faster and faster...

Is Erie still set for release this Friday? I don't have any updates on it from Amazon (yes, sadly I have to go the Amazon route with these big sets or the international shipping kills me). Normally...

Yeah, Baron Munchausen wasn't great, but Gilliam has of course done quite a few that are, IMO. I'd be curious to hear from other actors and their experiences throughout the years.

What do you think? I love Gilliam but he certainly came across in that description as occasionally careless if not reckless.

You've nailed it there. Fans tend to either ignore or re-write history. But it's hard to fault the band for not looking back on the Lamb tour (for instance) as the glory days, when they were not only...

Agreed. Awful.



I'd prefer to have waited five more minutes for a touch of proofreading before they barfed it onto the internet in the name of being first.
