Kevin Ayers - Why are we sleeping?

eh, Ayers is pretty cool, but I think I much prefer his bass playing to his guitar playing, which seems to range from mediocre to sloppy...he's still cool though

who's the solo guitar??

Maybe Archie Leggett

Let's put this silliness to rest, please. Kevin Ayers a "bad player"? He was in The Soft Machine. Alright? This was a band that was not exactly taking in musicians randomly, or as a favor management.

You are picked by the Softs --> You have it.

Next, please.

Hillage cranks you awake!

Absurt.

Bollocks to all the negative comments..I'm with you pal.. Ayers was a poseur...and couldn't live with the other much more talented members of the Soft Machine..

Kevin once commented that none of the members of the early soft machine were particularly good musicians including himself. The early Canterbury scene were more literate than dedicated/well trained musicians.

Every grows if they keep working.

He left because he didn't want to go in the more jazz oriented direction the rest of the band wanted to go and he was a bit feed up with touring.

Mr Ayers ought to keep such opinions to himself...Mick Ratledge was a very accomplished piano player and Robert Wyatt's drumming was just something else... Ayers couldn't play jazz. This sort of posy nonsense is more his "scene."

i don't care-I know he's a lusy player (sometimes) I still loved him
