Jethro Tull comprised of Ian Anderson (guitar, voice), Martin Barre (electric guitar), John Evan (piano), Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond (bass guitar) and Barriemore Barlow (drums) performing Wind Up during a show in Berkely, California in June 1971
Can he sing? Can he play? Ian is a MUSICIAN and will be remembered long after he's gone. We won't hear anything like this ever again! Love you Aqualung!!!!
Ian commented on how he could work out all his "issues"...e.g. anger, disappointment in people or institutions, etc. on paper and stage. The only audience I have is ...lol, well, hello? Is anybody there?.....I'm not that pissed...just think he shouldn't sing ...period. (Check out the 2012 classic rock groups getting back together to tour and pull the U2 mother loads from us babys! NOTHING to do with ART. THEY ARE BUSINESS FIGURES, NOT ARTISTS.) LOL, I'm pissed again.
@mikepa67 And one more thing......he, Ian Anderson had a lot of his own misanthropic, bitter, deep seated cynical attitudes well documented....and in his driven, even depressed states (again pretty well accepted...he's human), he wrote his best music in many peoples opinion. So, I just am a decade behind the growth. And I have no reason for it...I am happly married with two successful boys ...I am in the 5% club...Ian's in the 1% club...that's what pisses me off.
@mikepa67 Your right. I agree. I just put him too high a pedestal. I didn't have a mom or dad that i looked up too. Or a religious figure, or a friend, or another older adult who really influenced me. On the issue of frequency and price to see my "dead", unharmonizable throat strained hero, rare. Solo or with Jethro Tull though the prices are not outlandish to his credit...commensurate to NO VOICE.
Hi ganthony1, sounds like your bitter, maybe you should not have put him on such a high pedestal....the difference between you and him is he's happy and your not. If people want to waste $200 on a ticket to see any of these fossilized bands from the 60s, well then I hope it makes them happy. " It's not easy singing sad songs".....Tull
I know Ian Anderson on the road. He can be biting and brutal with 'the help' and all their "limitations". He's a tight wired, genius. I can relate...but, at the end of the day, he made plenty of fiat...good for him...so have I...so no jealously of similar UINW....but he is making money with a voice that is no longer. Sad, he knows better thant that and better than the weak consumers he's unnecessarily stolen from....
@ShootingStar3158 Well there is a lot from the seventies that can i love as much as Ian, but comparing ian with who ever isnt possible.
These are very special people and i think i will love his music till the end of....... well you know.
I dont believe you, youve got the whoe damn thing all wrong... very strong.
