Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree talks about Babicz Guitars

[D6Film]

"Trains" is simply a huge dose of damn good sound. Wyśmienite :)

[TheBrokenWing1]

WOA!!!! i have the same name, i play guitar, AND i have bought from babicz before O.O ....but my band is named plaid monkey....rofl

[Henkehakansson]

Don't like the key drop they do on this tune live. On studio version it's the capo at fifth fret, bringing it to a standard Am, but here he dropped it to Fsharp minor. It's a voice thing as you get older you can't reach those high notes. Babicz and S Wilson rocks big time nevertheless.

[rotagen5]

Just bought a babicz, these guys are truly amazing as well, forgot how much I liked porc tree.

[SgtSkidoosh]

And that's why I like PT

[OrangePylon]

That performance of Trains, I believe, is the one from the Arriving Somewhere DVD. Interesting choice, especially since one of the strings breaks later in that performance :P

[messiah90]

this man is THE GREATEST MUSICIAN. I wish i had 1% of the talent he has. Long live mr.steven.

[733quiron]

Beautiful guitars, oh yes...

[43553E9901]

His name is Steven, not Steve.

[P0mt3]

You're not serious, are you?

Steve isn't short for 'Steven', or anything . . . . *eyeroll*

[skibum1999]

whoa that sounds wierd w. capo at 3rd fret instead of 5th

[4ImaginaryDisease]

its on 2nd fret.

[Siike92]

yeah ive using the 5th too! Which ones right?!

[HATECREWrulz123]

he uses the fifth in the album but he uses it on the second live because its easier to sing along with.

[Siike92]

Yeah I figured that out a while ago. I can just barely sing with it on the 5th. It sounds alot better in my opinion though.

[znoahmarhoadskill]

ohhhh that's what it is

[P0mt3]

It depends. I love both versions. The live version is nearly a whole octave lower, so it is much easier for a person to sing along with it as they play. The higher octave on the record is still the best, though. ;)

[canadianghetto]

@P0mt3 It is only a whole step (2 frets) lower

[P0mt3]

@canadianghetto That's what I meant. Forgive my poor word choice.

[soundsickness]

@canadianghetto live version it's actually 2 1/2 steps lower than the studio version...

[ajcoaster]

Just bought a Babicz identity series guitar and it is so amazing! It sounds so great on my amp!

[AlejoGNR]

where did you bought your babicz gtr? i want one of themm!! cheerzz

[HATECREWrulz123]

I wish I could afford a Babicz. Once you have one you probably don't even need any other4 acoustic guitars.

[fearofghsts]

Anyone know which Babicz model Steven is playing? Looks like the Jumbo Identity??

[Izze42]

It's not a jumbo. It is a Dreadnought Cutaway!

[s3ntimental]

steve, you are the best <3

[LedOutMan]

THEY DELETED THE TRAINS SONG THEY HAD LIVE FROM BABICZ!!! that was my fav version of trains. screw you lawyers and fucking copyright bullshit. ruins the art.

[Davination]

That happens so much on YouTube. This guy named SuperGinrai (now known as BinaltechGinrai with his new account) was suspended since all of his videos were hilarious commentary tracks to horror movies (without any shown licensing/rights). On one of his new videos, he has the actual director of the original movie doing ths intro...so it bit back at YouTube.

[sigarum]

I share your pain LOM, i was so surprised not to find it anymore :(

[tomakenana]

OK, all you newbies who just fell in love, go buy this album and Nil Recurring and every other damn thing PT have done, you will eventually, you won't be able to stand not hearing every single thing and you know it's all awesome! They're taking a year off in 08, let's keep the momentum going with record sales and word of mouth! Pass out those mixes, turn on new people, MOVE IT!!!

nana, the 55 year old ultimate freakfan for this band!!! love you!! ;p

[jonas227]

"taking a year off" - that means one no-man record and a nice solo record for steven xD

[victorolden]

[blankplanet]

kennyskoolklub"s words are gold

[Kevinhasguns]

Porcupine tree is the greatest band in the god damn world i could listen to the same album from them and never get bored.

[yunalesca20]

[udarunaetruc]

Steven Wilson is equal with all the rock gods. He will go down in history as one of the great musicians of the 21'st century.

[Catcalledcheshire]

he wont, but he should

[KennysKoolKlub]

[untroubled]

There is Frank Zappa and Devin Townsend, and there is Steven Wilson.

[JIMMYISFAT666]

I love him so

[croggy01]

[malditoduende77]
