Richie Kotzen & Greg Howe - Tilt

[kmanick]

killer CD! I wish these two would get together again and do another one

[Hardysamnin]

Fusion is just the freedom to do whatever you want and not adhere to any particular style, so yes, this is fusion, end of story.

[eqsmooth]

@Hardysamnin WTF? Where did you go to music school? This seems pretty basic 4/4 stuff w/three guys w/ electric stringed instruments showing off their chops while a dude backs them up w/busy drumming. Rock circle jerk. Boring. I was over this non-songwriting in the 90's. What are they fusing?

[Hardysamnin]

@eqsmooth See my previous comment. Fusion is simply a lack of one specific style of music. Guthrie Govan explains that clearly in one of his youtube lessons. I'll take his opinion above yours if that's ok. This is neither rock, nor jazz, so what else could you call it?

[eqsmooth]

@Hardy Fusion. Why not look the word up in a dictionary? Who needs a lesson? It has nothing to do w/ a LACK of anything. Fusion is blending, not separating. When I listened to The Dregs, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Al DiMeola I was playing in a band one might call jazz fusion. This piece is mostly rock but I heard a samba beat. Nothing jazz about it. Definition of fusion: a style of music that blends disparate genres; especially types of jazz. Where are the types of jazz here?

[guillaumeGNRaddict]

every single song they wrote is so groovy & fresh

[grordegal]

From 3:00 to end is amazing.

[MarvinSheats]

I love this entire track but the ending is just SUPERB!!!

[abcdentalworks]

Why is there not more of this? The Gods love music. They love music the rules even more! WE ALL NEED MORE! A+++++

[ForSmallHands]

The best music ever! I found Richie Kotzen on the guitar world album "the guitars that rule the world" since then I have always loved listening to him.

[vincentlyons]

Masterpiece!

[deliriouscouture]

wow. that is a douchey picture of richie.

[handsomerube]

@deliriouscouture poison era...explains everything.

[RogerHwang]

fucking love their sounds... any idea what gears they use?

[MarvinSheats]

WOW... Totally speechless!!! 

[scalesr4]

What a progression damn that's involved!

[IkanaLink98]

Neoclassical-Fusion-Funk

[Zappafan1980]

@IkanaLink98

More Jazz-Fusion-Blues-Rock

[vithaj92]

@Zappafan1980 Actually I'd call this progressive rock. There is however a fine line between the Fusion and progressive rock, but I tend to call this rock because the most common Fusion (Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Return to forever, Weather Report, Dave Weckl) sound quite different from this.

[Groonblatt]

@vithaj92 More 'jazz rock' I'd say. Who gives a fuck anyway!? Point is, it swings. lol

[vithaj92]

@Groonblatt Can we settle for progressive jazz rock? :) fair enough though mate

[eumaximodemimmesmo]

[abesluciferius]

It's fusion funk jazz.

[salamatysalamaty]

What a fucking master piece.. That's what you could call " the art of music". Unique and full of energy. Indeed

[rautibo]

this song is SOOOO NICE TO PLAY if u cant,,, unfortunately i can just play the intro riff

[Phrygian12]

jeez its been awhile since ive listen to this song i love the Syncopated Rhythms

Tilt,Full View, and Seventh Place are such insane pieces

[IncaRoad01]

Some music makes you want to pick up the guitar and play.

Some music makes you want to give up altogether because it is just too much ... too good.

These guys are something else! Absolute masters.

[redlarracas]

i though it was TILT..that was the name of that album

[peterlanghaar]

sorry. stupid question. forget about it. xD

[shredicon86]

Its ok, the funk fried my brain too :)

[peterlanghaar]

does anyone know the name of the album? i would really like to have it.

[reignman2112]

the album is "tilt"..this is the first track on it, entitled....you guessed it 'tilt'..if you don't own Howe's other releases, then get them, and be amazed...i'm a drummer, and am in awe of this guy....

[peterlanghaar]

i think i'll get all of his albums. is there some of the stuff from the other albums on youtube?

[reignman2112]

since Howe doesn't create videos, like you might see on mtv, etc., most stuff on here is him in a studio, or on stage, playing a cut from one of his albums. check out his myspace page, or his homepage....

[Phrygian12]

he was released on a dvd of him with Tetsuo Sakurai called Gentle Hearts tour -04 i have a clip of the dvd posted here on youtube. its a really good dvd but i feel that Howe is alittle boring in it since he just got off playing from alot of pop bands so his technique's and music senseibility were kinda rusty at that time.

but other then that it is great dvd to get

[PAPICHARLIE]

best shred fusion cd ever!!!

[shredicon86]

This is the shit! OMG! wooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

[shellbblue]

Full "TILT" jam! Great stuff!
