I’ve been listening to Anesthetize a lot recently and I gotta say, I think it would be really cool to see him do The Pills In Me. I think it’s a great section and should be dusted off on one of these tours. I think the middle part is one of my favorite PT moments, it’s so moody.

Next tour setlist:

Drive Home
Pariah
Heartattack in a Layby
Collapse the Light into Earth
Refuge
Routine
Feel So Low
Stop Swimming
Happy Returns
The Raven

Free tissues at the door :P

Sign. Me. Up.

You and me both.  That would be an amazing set list.

Hasn't he done that section on one of his solo tours? I honestly cannot remember.

Not that I can remember, although I could very well be mistaken

He did do the mashup of the first half of Russia on Ice leading into The Pills I'm taking on The Incident Tour in 2009/2010

I saw them on the co-headlining thing they did with Coheed and Cambria and they did the middle section of Anesthetize on its own, IIRC.  It rocked.

And while we can't ask for more since it did get featured heavily on two tours, it is a shame that Raider II will probably never be a song he plays live again with any regularity.

Lucky for me I saw it played live.  He'll have to bring it back at some point I'd guess.

I saw The Raven tour, which featured, among others, every song from that album and a lot of songs from Grace for Drowning, including Raider II.  And we were like 10 feet from the stage, dead center.  Easily one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Absolutely.   It was a top 5 show for me.  I just won't tell you what row I was in.  :lol

What are the chances that Michael Åkerfeldt will guest in Stockholm for some Storm Corrosion?

Zero. I’ve been to two different festivals in different years where both Opeth and Steven Wilson were playing (one time on the same day), hoping something like that would happen during one of the shows and it did not.

I would say it's better than zero since there's a precedent: 28/9/2015.

They played Drag Ropes twice.

Once in the date he listed, and again in 2016. At least that's what I found in a five minute quick scouring of the net. One song a total of two times. Precedent? Sure. Chances? Maybe not zero, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I'd absolutely love for something to happen though. It's still my favorite collaboration of all time and my favorite late-night twisted ambiance.

Drag Ropes was played a total of 25 times: https://www.setlist.fm/stats/songs/storm-corrosion-23d164a7.html?song=Drag+Ropes I was at one of those shows and it was awesome ;D I doubt he'll do it on this tour, though.

I doubt he'll play it, too, never mind with Akerfeldt in tow which was the original question.

To those curious, the point about the specific date I mentioned is that it was performed with Akerfeldt, hence the ever-so-slightly greater than zero chance Akerfeldt will guest and they'll play it again ;)

Well Stockholm is on monday and London on tuesday, wednesday and thursday.
He will have guests in London. Maybe Åkerfelld.... and why not do a "rehersal" in Michaels hometown Stockholm the day before.

What the fuck, I just suck at looking shit up whether it's on the forum or the net.  :lol

A little more hopeful but yeah, I'm not going to go to a show and actually expect to see it; that's just inviting disappointment.

I mean, at least it's more than what we originally got, which was "this will never be played live". Though to be fair, I'm pretty sure Wilson was referring to the album in its entirety, or a tour based around the album. At the very least though, I would absolutely go bananas over another studio album in this vein. It's the perfect time too given that Akerfeldt seems to be in limbo in his own career (creatively, at least) and Wilson is still doing much of the same kind of music he did when Storm Corrosion initially released.

I am not sure I agree with that.  To the Bone doesn't sound that much like Storm Corrosion or Grace for Drowning (its SW solo album counterpart).

Ohhh, did he say that? I mean I figured he would be mixing it up to a certain point but was expecting a lot of the same stuff. I can't fucking wait regardless!!

Through Reddit, I find myself today on the Wikipedia page for "Brainfuck", an esoteric programming language. The Wikipedia page says at the top "Not to be confused with Brain Fuck Scheduler or Mindfuck", so of course I click on Mindfuck. The third entry on that page:

"Incredible Expanding Mindfuck, an experimental music group founded by Steven Wilson"

I think they were only on a bonus disc that came with the big special 'book' edition, but I could be wrong about that

Yeah their is a bonus disc of demo's of which was only available in the long sold out ultra deluxe edition.
The three songs in question are;
Ask Me Nicely
A Door Marked Summer
Northern Cyclonic
The rest of the demo disc songs made it to the actual album.
There is also another song which was only issued on 7" vinyl as part of the above mentioned edition called, 'Antisocial' (instrumental)

I'm pretty sure they were on the deluxe book edition as well, as was the case with his previous two albums - HCE had some non-album tracks and demos (with slightly different arrangements) on its bonus disc, and Raven had one demo that didn't make the final album (an unused idea titled "Clock Song").

Of the five (yes, five, if you count "Ask Me Nicely (Intro)" as a separate track, even though it's just the first bit of "Ask Me Nicely" mixed differently) non-album tracks from TTB, I'd say "Antisocial" is one of my faves, mostly because it works so well as a prelude to "People Who Eat Darkness". I'm not sure where "Antisocial" was released though, as it wasn't included on the Deluxe Bonus Disc like the other four tracks.

People Who Eat Darkness remains one of my favorites.  That totally could have been on one of the 00's PT albums.

Having revisited the whole album recently, it is pretty great. Even if it not one of his best (which is a tough nut to crack), it is still very worthy.

I was in Vienna for the Steven concert. My friend and I stood outside in the snow storm for more than three hours but we were the first ones inside. It was totally worth it.
Steven was in very good mood, Nick is awesome as always (also what a good looking dude), the new guitarist Alex is no Guthrie but he is very good, he has great stage presence and is having a blast! I was, however, completely blown away by Craig Blundell, man what a MONSTER!!! I already saw him with the David Cross Band last year at the Loreley, where he was magnificent too, BUT DAMMMMNNNNN HE WAS AWESOME in Vienna!!
I don't want to spoil the Setlist for anyone who still wants to go, but let me tell you that it is good. VERY GOOD.
If you haven't planned already to see this show, you should do it!



Oh I forgot: I listened to Storm Corrosion yesterday, first time since 2012 and second time overall. I had listened to it when it came out and remembered it as extremely boring. But now I find it pretty awesome. What do you guys think?

Haunting. And truly unique. No other album like it. One of those albums you have to be in the right frame of mind to listen to.
