Ha, never underestimate the importance of Kiss.
Lots of great and unique creative bands (not just the campy hair metals) are fans. To quote someone else (don't remember who): Kids back then might have wanted to play like Page or Beck or Eddie, but they picked up the guitar in the first place because of Ace Frehley. The magic, the escapism by becoming-a-superhero, music being something more than just notes and scales. Bent says something like that as well.Though I wouldn't mind a "proper" biographical, chronological career spanning movie with facts and figures (and probably 4 hours long), I agree that the way Bernie's film focuses insightfully on the whys & hows and the motor & the psycho in 2019, is very fascinating. To mention Killing Joke once more, there's been a biopic film recently which does just that, too. It starts out as yr usual career chronology but soon enough it deviates into strange territory, when the bands' ramblings about ideas and motivations take over. And that's a properly produced movie released on DVD. Bernie just sits down with the guys and a camera and pulls it off just as well.
Yeah that was funny. I was introduced to Zeppelin before Crimson and I love both bands nowadays. I wouldn't say Bruford is heavier than Bonzo because no one is! There's a couple of edited Bonzo solo tracks on youtube. Serious oooomph while super swingy. But I absolutely understand Tomas' point the way he puts it. I got "The Great Deceiver" box set with Crimson live recordings from around 73/74 when I wasn't a kid anymore so I'd heard a lot of "heavy" music up to that point and it blew all metal to the moon. Ah, John Wetton!
And Page's acoustic guitar is more powerful than Metallica's chugging? Hell yes!!
thanks bernie!
ah if only there was a motorpsycho videoclips site with a search function… erm… oh….. 8O i guess i was too far in the zone after watching the film.
oh i will. there are so many. Snah's ending quote haha, but also many others… sometimes I feel like Bent is my mind-twin. From Kiss to Purple, then skipping the 80ties except The Cure for the same reasons and landing back in the then present with Hüsker Dü and Dinosaur Jr.
Tomas' observations and comments are very interesting, as in how, as the newbie, to get inside the inner workings of the group. He's like a gateway for us outsiders, touching upon stuff Bent and Hans never would mention because to them it's become so natural and common like breathing and therefore not mentioned.
and that "Gutan I Skogen" snippet, oh wow… is there a proper recording of a whole version like this somewhere? Or is it sadly a lost (or rather missed) possibility for a Golden Vortex classic? Sounds fantastic! And great choice to end the film.
I hope each and everyone of us has a cherished copy of Rainbow's Rising album. Because if that record hadn't happened, something else might not have happened ever.
Quote:And only 9 shows in 2007 after they had been "back to normal" in 2006? What was wrong there?wasn't that the year inbetween jacco and kenneth?
less than 20 peeps but the band delivers to them no matter what. THAT's attitude!
nice to see-hear Neanderthal.
Hey, wasn't that VC synth the inspiration for both music and title of the MP track Viscount Grishnah? I think I've read something like that… and if so: full circle!
edit:
ah no, scrap that. I think it was an organ by the brand "Viscount".
To my ears they both sound unmanipulated. In Leuven he just was more on point. 7:03, though :lol:
