As far as I know, Pilgrim was included into Ãœberwagner first in 2013 as a musical surprise on the "Eggplant" tour that introduced Reine to the fan community.
If every unbeliever in mainstream media and mainstream political institutions and organisations spits his bile into this thread we might soon have an ocean of gob…
Not because the evil centralized press/government/holding co. pisses of everybody (sometimes it does…), but because so many people get hysterized by their small-minded opinion bubbles and believe their smartphone-generated trash information every word while at the same time accusing well-researched and well-written "official" news of lying.
I don't believe everything published in the "mainstream", but still I was quite happy to have a corner here to discuss and trade opinions free from the hysterized conspiracy discussions that seem to overflow everwhere. Please keep it like that – there's too many half-wits out there, so let's keep them out (or ban them inside this thread).
Awaiting your anger-fueled replies
Wow – good to remember the "other" stuff from Paradiso 02. Thanx once again for your toils, Bernie!
Just a little correction to the setlist: Ãœberwagner NOT including Pilgrim of course
(Made me listen to that damn thing three times in a row to identify any possible snippets…)
As for V.S. – already on RW I, so regrettably, but understandably omitted on DVD/album. Could have been a 4 LP soundrack album though
Just watching Glocksee 97 – excellent gig! One of the best versions of STG I know. Great Vortex Surfer. Great singing by both Bent and Snah. Brilliant sound – a real gem. Thanx Bernie, Thanx MP.
@ Bernie: btw. – have you received the material from Herzberg 2011 in the meantime? I have reminded the authors several times. The legal restrictions they underwent then with MP mamagement regarding publication of the video should now be obsolote with Bent's call for material and you publishing it on MP's behalf.
@ Punj Lizard: Those three acoustic-electric albums have probably already influenced a large part of MP's earlier work – take Blissard or Trust Us. So this course would be a kind of retrograde movement – but I'd love it. I also wonder what a whole Motorpsycho cover album of Roy Harper's Stormcock would sound like
@ ThorEgil: The day they release their first rap or hip hop album I'll burn my Motorpsycho collection! Or better buy my first Hip Hop album instead
@ supernaut: I know what you mean – been a Kiss fan myself for about half a year
Great stuff for fourteen year olds – a great trap for a lifetime of Rock'n'Roll. As Indian mythology says – the lotos flowers always flourish in the muddy swamps…
Watched the whole Maelstr̦m experience in full lenght yesterday late evening. Needless to say it's a brilliant piece of filming Рwhat positively surprised me is the quality of the interviews and the "thematic choreography" of the whole movie. I guess that a) this interview has either really been well prepared and/or b) was situated in a very friendly, relaxed and sympathetic atmosphere among likeminded people and c) has been very cleverly edited. Propably all three of them Рanyway, I hardly ever watched an interview with a band that transported so much precise information with virtually no bullshit.
Normally it is either fans stumbling over their own feet in excitement – hello Punj Lizard
Рor uninformed media people blurting out rather superficial phrases and never getting to the point. Well done!Another strength of this documentary is the concentration on musical aspects. Of course there could have been a lot of other issues like side projects, line-up changes, cooperators, the whole business side, touring life and so on, but the major thing with MP these days is just that Рshut up and play your double neck guitars (and drums/keyboards). Work on your tunes and bring them to the stage. Play hard and jam freely. Take off and fly. This aspect of course reminded me of what Phil Lesh described as the main justification for going on with the Dead all these years: Play and try to lift off into the zone Рjamming, spacing, listening to each other. So it is not necessarily a miss that the Dead were never mentioned by name along with such important influences on MP like Purple, Sabbath, Moțrhead, King Crimson and Рby God, yes, even Kiss. They are always there Рlingering in the background in almost every second sentence of the interview.
There's only one slight criticism that I might point out: After all that talking about jamming, improvising, jazzing, lifting off and on stage out of body experiences it might have been a good idea to close the clip with a longer musical piece showing just that – it is hard to get a feel of that phenomenon in a 2-3 minute snippet, as good as it may be musically. It is probably not the free flight that I might miss there, but the long runway and the lift-off.
Apart from that small issue I think the choice of music and the whole dramaturgy is excellent – thanks once again for this effort, boys!
Ha Рwrong thread. Just wanted to post my impressions of the wonderful Maelstr̦m clip here
Think first, write second Johnny!
I think here begins your freedom and your responsibility. Choose one of the possible titles as your standard and add the other one in brackets, like "Song for A Bro" ("Whip That Ghost"). I think even MP themselves change between the alternatives sometimes (and invent new ones – remember "Adolf Hissler?", so it is up to you to set a standard.
Same with segues / combinations of several songs – set a standard and use it throughout. Consequence is important – otherwise you'll be knee deep in the mud soon. No promblem nameing a sequence "Hogmountspinwash" as long as you always use that word to refer to the same sequence. Choose the name in a way that any other Psychonaut will be able to identify the songs included and ideally the sequence they are appearing in.(Been reeding a lot of Umberto Ecos standard book on names and references lately, so trust me, I know what I'm talking about
)
Oh my – MP accountkeeper's hog heaven!
I guess the "latest played" entry updates automatically considering all entrys made so far? I can remember I heart "Sunshine Daydream" live a few times after 1993
Great Work!
