PORCUPINE TREE (09) part 3/3, on WRITING THE LONG SONG and more

[muntificator]

Damn right we love Katatonia! =) Found them around the same time i found Porcupine Tree actually

[muntificator]

@muntificator And Idle Blood would have to be within my top 3 Katatonia songs! God Wilson is a.....GOD!

[mobman47]

Steven Wilson should listen to Kayo Dot/maudlin of the Well!

[ryonafan]

they should take Dredg to one of their shows, Dredg is on of those ''tragic'' bands that steven talked about

[ryonafan]

the incident is it reeeealy one song?? it doesn't sound like one song to me, it sounds like a record... x)

[IDontDoDrumCovers]

its more a classicle style of writing music

[BrixSnBs]

The incident is NOT one song! It's a very cohesive sequence of songs but it's not one song only.. Some parts can be pieced as one, like "Great Expectations" and "Kneel and Disconnect", but most tracks have their own verses and choruses.

[HitmanTheGamer]

viking metal \m/ LOL

[yeshead]

BREAKING NEWS: He likes Magma, but doesn't care for Devil Doll!

[imhotepno]

@yeshead Strange thing, actually. I simply think Wilson is insane, haha... But seriously, I understand his point of view, even though I really beg to differ one hundred percent!

Che Wilson Chingon, ya esperamos a PT en México!!!!!!

[MrKorton]

The Kearns guy, is he irish? (I´m trying to figure out the accent)

[imhotepno]

@MrKorton Kearnsie is from Dublin, Ireland while I am from the North of Norway, and stand proud of my Norwegian accent English, haha...

[MrKorton]

@imhotepno that figures, it couldn´t have been a norwegian somehow aquiring an irish accent ;)

[beefjirky]

@imhotepno I visited Dublin in January, very nice city.

Other than that, in May i went to The Incident concert in Montreal(Place De Arts). It was the best concert I have ever went to, no doubt.

Also going to the Cleveland show August 26th(Last show in US for the Incident). Luckily i live in Cleveland, very excited, hopefully it will be even better than Montreal as a "Grand Finale" for the US Incident tour.

@imhotepno

I hate being from North America. I really wish I could be actually European instead of Canadian/American, lol. Of course, I wish for the accent multiple times, daily. :D

[sbrushfan]

He's quite right in many ways. If you can't compartmentalize your sound and be pigeonholed, in this day and age, the average listener won't give you the time of day. And that's a damn shame, cause I love many bands that cross genre boundaries.

[ncd1986]

Whats the band they mention at 5:37?

[insomnia7331]

anathema ;)

[Hybbeman]

@ncd1986 You mean Anathema?

[digression]

Brilliant!! Steve was a bit obsessed with that tea bag though LOL ;-)

[Anseflans]

Heh, I noticed that too. :P

[harmony0404]

"... painting with sound..." - GENIUS said.

HE is a REAL ARTIST.

Great interview. Interesting questions, interesting discussion, instead of the same old stuff you hear in every other interview. Good job!
