I have a feeling the next album will be very heavy, very loud. Just hope the time spawn between recording and release won't be as large as usual.
It's not ZU's, nor Thomas' nor Motorpsycho's job to work the way the "fans" want. Their job is to make money as non-mainstream artists, they have bills to pay and mouths to feed. I guess ZU's touring plans have been settled quite a while ago and Thomas, as a pro musician, doesn't let them down just because some weird minded MP fans want him to. They have contracts and friendships to rely on. And come on: Complaining about this is calling Bent and Snah dumb, for they then wouldn't be aware of that or what? Geez, they all have their projects. The new Moster album is out now, if you care to support Snah right now. As a fan. A new Motorpsycho will be done when the time is right. This is the real world. If this is nothing but a fan's rambling then I can't help you.
Like the Captain and ThorEgil said, we couldn't be sure if there even will be more Motorpsycho. Now they replaced the best drummer with the best drummer (here I trust the judgement of those in the know) and whatever Thomas' attitude or mindset is, it's obviously no problem for Bent and Snah. Maybe it's even welcome to them, I assume do they talk about these things. So why should we outsiders have any attitude about something completely unknown to us?
I'm thrilled they didn't get a standard rock drummer. They got to travel ever onward, no looking back. From Geb to Kenneth to the future.
YES!!!!!!!
Never really heard of the guy, though, but I do know me some Zu, that one record with Buzz Osbourne. Holy shit, a Melvins/Motorpsycho connection!?!? I can't be happier. 2016 just had to suck with no more Bowie. It just had to go downhill from there, politically and energetically and it peaked in populism rising and Kenneth leaving. Far fetched? Yup, but you know: global Karma and the lot… Anyways, 2017 gonna be gooooood.
Onasidenote: Still waiting for that Demon Box live 2015 DVD, tho'.
Song: The Golden Core
Because I can't always listen to that one. And when, then superloud with no distraction and no songs by anyone afterwards for quite a while.
Solo:
I like guitar solos like those in The Promise and The Ozzylot. Not too long and well crafted blasting outbursts of raw joy. On the other hand, that long one in Nothing To Say live '97 is majestic. Amazing build up.
Riff:
Feedtime and the middle section of Through The Veil.
Song to let someone to get to know Motorpsycho:
STG, Plan #1, Taifun, The Wheel, Kill Devil Hills/The Alchemyst combo from RWIV
Some of those recent theater scores might pop up, though, so the next record might be quite the contrary of my thoughts above. It's going to be good anyway. I like to be surprised. Ah doesn't matter, just give us more Motortunes.
Something like DB, TM or AADAP. A long record, stylistically all over the place but with many tightly written songs. Or BHBC, a duo record less stilistically all over the place with tight rocking songs. I do enjoy their playing skills, but their composing skills dazzles me more.
I don't get the complaints about the content. MP releases come almost yearly as double albums plus EPs and stuff. As if this wasn't enough there's even some vaults to be cleared and now we also get a fine live recording. And now delivery day was missed for some (usually I get stuff later than most here for whatever reason but I wouldn't dream of complaining), so be patient. It's still a DIY band on a small label, not a well oiled industry. Which is great by itself. Things are appreciated more when not taken for granted.
