PT warm up gig (cambridge uk) - New material

[Seance]

While i'd like to see a return to the more progressive/space rock stuff they used to play

why? when you can just listen to those albums?

 

[all_sins_undone]

because simply put, SW cannot do metal

 

[Prognostic]

i think they can do more with the spacey stuff

 

[all_sins_undone]

lbh, sw is king @ ambience and prog type stuff

 

[BurningSky]

If they didn't have gavin harrison, he wouldnt get away with any of his metal riffs (I actually think hes alright at writing riffs). Gavin just takes the riffs and gives them ballsacks, just like DC does for Tool.

 

[all_sins_undone]

ftlog what a terrible analogy

 

[BurningSky]

if you dont like tool, thats fine, but its exacty the case for their music.

 

[all_sins_undone]

tool is fine, and no thats not exactly the case.

 

[BurningSky]

You think that adam jones' riffs would sound nearly as heavy without DC? Or do you not think that gavin does that for steve's riffs?

I think Gavin may aswell be a Drum Sequencing program for cubase. Sounds pretty much like him.

 

[BurningSky]

That would be the greatest cubase program in the history of the universe. Gavin is my favorite drummer right now. I got his instructional DVD. That man can play anything and everything and his creativity is ridiculous. Listen to Orchidia and tell me that song has anything heavy without the drumming.

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

We had the new material as well. Looking forward to it.

Oceansize (support) was amazing once again. Can't wait for their new release in september 2007.

oceansize are pretty cool

I'm going to the Astoria gig. Last thing I heard, Paatos are also playing. Should be a good night.

Apparently Paatos will not play in Cambridge but will play at all the other UK shows in September.

I agree. I've always thought that about Tool. The drumming "makes" the band for me.

I think SW writes good simple riffs, and with Gavin on the kit, they really sound good.

Doesnt matter, Sounds totally sterile. Even on the dvd, which my friend has. Yeah, technically brilliant. Doesnt make it sound good though.

We're discussing Harrison, not Portnoy.
