David Torn interview, part 1

[MichaelLKelly]

One of those musicians who ripped my ears open - in a good way. I've been lucky enough to see him via Cloud About Mercury, Mark Isham, David Sylvian, Bruford/Levin, Tim Berne and last caught a Prezens show. David - listen to Tim Berne and please play in front of audiences more.

Saw David Torn at UPenn back in '98. It was a brief but mind blowing experience listening to excerpts from Tripping Over God live. Its inspirational and genious work that breaks the sound barrier! Thanks for all the inspiration!

I saw David Torn in the late 80's early 90's at the great american music hall in frisco...and i have to agree...mindblowing!

[bigtophalloween]

I actually got to see Mr. Torn live in the early nineties, and it was asbsolutely mindblowing. He absolutely killed my perceptions of what you can and cannot do on a guitar.  I'm eternally thankful, David...

[Steveternal]

Thanks for the informative video, this album was one of the absolute best of 2007!

I knew this genius from his works with David Sylvian. Listen to "The Boy With the Gun", become my guitar god since then.

[larkydozer]

Same here. Heard that song on WFNX in Boston around 1987 or so and have followed Torn and related projects since.

[Kand1nSky]

What means solid, David? #k.

[TrippingOverGod]

One of the true guitar greats - how many guitarists in the world have an individual sound like Torn? I can't think of any.

EEEEK, please spell it right, Holdsworth is the name. When you don't spell it right you don't show the proper respect.
