I too would be interested in writing band or album reviews. Gotta keep myself busy while unemployed.

Check out my Clockwork Angels review Matt and tell me your thoughts!

Immediately I found myself enraged because you say "they haven't done a full concept since 2112" when 2112 was not a full concept album But really, I think you did a good job explaining the songs and describing them musically. I might have to contribute my own review, because there clearly aren't enough already.

Well yeah but it's their only concept so I didn't want to put half album concept. I knew when I did that I'd have someone up in arms. I though it would be Nick though.

Ok.. Just published the Ian Anderson interview.... still under effect of his presence....

If you haven't got time for the whole video today, at least make sure to see the last 3 minutes, you won't regret! Good laughs there!
Also.. the 5.30 is quite nice

Here it is...

OK, finally I get to see this thing, been hearing about it for a while now. I remember you talking about how cold he was at first but it definitely seems that you had won him over by the end. Damn does he come across as an intelligent man. Really enjoyed the part where he is talking about making eye cfontact with the fans at the end, and I love the bit around the 29 minute mark about the metal fans being a bunch of black cladmen thrusting the fist in the air, sounds like a certain forum I know.

Anyways, good stuff Nem, as usual, and a very big feather in your cap here, you should be proud of this one.

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #249 on:** October 07, 2012, 06:47:17 PM »

Just started watching - Nem, your accent is incredible.

And Ian... well... heh.

Orbert · « **Reply #250 on:** October 07, 2012, 09:17:00 PM »

Wow, very cool! Thick as a Brick is actually one of the first albums I ever owned, and I treasure it. Just to hear Ian himself talking about it was surreal for me.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, that was pretty cool around 5:30 when he was naming some modern prog bands, and Dream Theater was the first one that came to mind.

I liked his explanation for why sometimes it's Jethro Tull and sometimes it's Ian Anderson. That was the best explanation I've heard of for something that probably makes more sense to the artist than to the fans. It makes a bit more sense now. But I'm still not sure how that applies to Thick as a Brick II being an Ian Anderson album as opposed to a Jethro Tull album. He only spoke of live gigs and what the audience should expect. If it's a CD, I would have thought that releasing it under the Jethro Tull name would make more sense. I thought maybe he was going to talk about how certain people would have to be on the album for it to be called Jethro Tull (Martin, Jeffrey, etc.) but he didn't go there, so it left me a bit confused.

obscure · « **Reply #253 on:** October 08, 2012, 07:57:08 AM »

Yeah good point!

Well tricky issues... I actually had a question about Martin too... But I could ask 30 % of my questions... His answers were kinda long...

Not that I'm complaining though...

On a side note, this was by far the most challenging interview I've done... Another difficult one will be Jon Anderson... for which I might knock at your door, Mr. Yes expert

Orbert · « **Reply #254 on:** October 08, 2012, 09:45:18 AM »

Feel free to pick my brain prior to speaking with Jon.

obscure · « **Reply #255 on:** October 08, 2012, 10:04:46 AM »

Thank you <3
I'm counting on that!

lonestar · « **Reply #256 on:** October 08, 2012, 10:11:53 AM »

Nice, Orbert's has more Yes knowledge in his pinkie then my sum total.

Yeah.. for the interested.. here is Damian Wilson interview...

jingle.boy · « **Reply #258 on:** November 19, 2012, 12:34:00 PM »

2 more Headspace albums already planned out!

Wilson invited for Maiden... didn't know that. Probably a good thing, because then maybe Bruce would've never (had to) come back.

Hurry up with part 2!

obscure · « **Reply #259 on:** November 19, 2012, 12:42:57 PM »

will do !!!

Adami · « **Reply #260 on:** November 19, 2012, 12:46:08 PM »

So on a scale of 1 to "Awww I just have to hug you!" how adorable is Damian?

Those were the best things about the interview for me

Inevitable comment: He's so handsome.

lonestar · « **Reply #266 on:** November 20, 2012, 10:23:50 PM »

Nice stuff, seems like a hell of a nice guy too.

Now, is it my imagination, or when he mentioned editing the video around the 3:40 mark, and you responded,"and I will", did you make a

face?

Really really nice guy.. A proper English gentleman!.. so humble... and very very impressive!
He was nice to everyone around, talked to all his fans before and after the gig... all line up is incredibly friendly for that matter... and so funny.. especially the Within Temptation boys

Maiden United is a must see!!!!
