Lay off the Valium, guys!

@sluggh - I just can't agree:

Tony tries, but vocally just doesn't get the amiable off-beat character of Belew, and despite being an amazing bass player, his stick style is too different (bass-driven) to even be compared with most stick players.

the guitarist is picking the easier of the two par...

@cracchumi - While I can't be sure, this had to be recorded in '95 or '96 - the only years of the "double-trio" where Trey Gunn was using the Warr guitar instead of Chapman Stick - and the only live DVD released during that time was "Deja Vroom" - it is available at Amazon ...

@BeeJay877 - not to mention Adrian Belew was a member of Talking Heads for a time, and then a (mostly uncredited) co-writer of a good portion of the Tom Tom Club's first album ...

@DarkDayz85 - No disrespect taken - and again, I'm just glad you have music to enjoy.

@MikeLamb24 -

Hahahahahahaha (continued maniacal laughter)

Slipknot? Dragonforce? Progressive? And I suppose that Donnie Osmond is (was?) jazz, and Merle Haggard is krautrock?

Have a nice time on your little planet, you clearly have no comprehension of music except as a poor substitute for the ...

@timi0000 - I hear the same thing, but just to mess with our minds, wouldn't KC being influenced by Tool (who was influenced by KC) mean that KC was influenced by KC???

@SaturnVII - and I bet you use a 12-gauge to kill ants ;-)

@Coventelite - What tank?

@jtsloth - this is not for the listener, but for the musician. It is an exercise in following the arrangement, even when there are none of the normal cues that a musician can "ride" on. For a standard song in 4/4, with a 1/4/5 pattern, it is easy for even a so-so musician to just ride with the pa...

@Edsta92 -

It is at the end, on the airplane. Billy Idol has just "introduced" him over the PA. While "Robbie" sings this song to "Julia", the aircrew (and Billy Idol) prevent Glenn from interfering.

@RickyRocker821 -

I don't think John is better or worse - they are just different, with different styles and focus in their music. John is has more blues & straight rock influences, while Neil is more symphonic, with jazz influences. Both sound great in their respective spheres - put John in Rush...

@pineappaloupe

LOL - that joke worked (in a Don Rickles kinda way)! You're at 50% - with practice, you might be able to do an open-mike night ...

@trechan Tomcats were usually parked on the patio EL3, and the Junkyard - and sometimes on EL4. E2s and SH3s were also parked on EL4, but more often by the island - either next to it or on Cats 3 & 4. It was pretty much a coin-toss whether they or the SH3s would be closer to the island. I can't r...

@Anaksbane2

"arsenokoitai" is a word never seen before Paul made it up. It is a very loose word - literally meaning "a person who shares a bed with a man". Since, however, there were already numerous Greek words that meant homosexual, why would Paul make up a new one? It was in reference to the...

@kgarreffa -

The only Steve ever to be a member of Daniel Amos was Steve Baxter - who left the band shortly after the release of their first eponymous album. While Steve may be a creative guy, the creative demiurge behind Daniel Amos has always been Terry Scott Taylor ...

Are you possibly mixin...

@leftyzappa

Now I gotta go find that version! ;-)

The return of the Blue Spud!!!!!!!

From the *other* "Grey Matter":

- they say--bite the big weenie--don't do it

- they say--wasn't that good--don't do it

- they say--bend over baby--don't do it

- they say--take it and like it--don't do it

@batterycock

Nope - Tony Levin is still making the bass and Chapman Stick do amazing things - with numerous bands ...

The person you are thinking of is Simon Rimmer - who has been a professional chef since at least the late 80s, and (as far as I can tell) has never played bass (or any other inst...

I could only make it through 4 minutes of this - the omissions and distortions are too great to take!

He admits that the IPCC report does not prove anything - but then accepts the guess of "20 times greater" as valid - despite no real proof.

He presents an apparent linear equivalence between CO2 ...

@RedIce202

Sorry, but that explains very little. The energy cannot be God, because energy is limited to the physical universe - it is defined by space-time, and ceases to exist when material reality ceases. Even your revelation cannot be explained by energy - it must be either an internal conclu...

@joe61086

The "Christmas" part is specific to TSO's interpretation and lyrics, not to Pachelbel's original work. Like many forms of art, music's beauty is at least partly in the eye (ear?) of the beholder - and apparently, the Canon in D Major triggered thoughts or memories of Christmas to TSO. ...

@bulfrog5 - the point was not you specifically, but a widespread lack of musical knowledge and comprehension among the general population. I have been playing various stringed instruments as a hobby and semi-pro for over 30 years - and I play almost entirely by ear. I am not willing to say that t...

@nerak48enterprise - yep, several have called me on it: 'twas a moment when the drug use of years gone by caught up with me. I even have the DVD (a great one which I watch fairly regularly), and still messed it up!

@megarational

Errr - I was responding to your post - not you to mine. And, to boot, all you've done is ignore the substance of the arguments by casting me as a stooge of "Big Oil". Sorry, I'm done: I don't waste my time answering straw men and ad hominem

@MichaelCrawfordsFan

Yes - Andrew composed a full album of variations on themes by Paganini - simply called "Variations". It is mostly based around cello as lead instrument. The album is sometimes available, but one has to really look - I got my copy through eBay. The album is quite interesting,...

Israel's borders are not currently well-defined because the Palestinian Arabs keep breaking their agreements - if not for Palestinian Aggression, there could have been a well-defined Palestinian State 20 years ago - with neatly defined borders. As it is, Israel is a country which has -...
