Bapu - fancy joining King Crimson?

It really is amazing to hear such complex music perfectly executed day in and day out. Mistakes are the exception with today's musicians.  In classical guitar, I ve only ever heard one or two mistakes by the touring types over 20 years.  Jazzers on the other hand can be very sloppy.🤗

Hi,
 
The only thing that is weird, to me, is that the majority of the audience, has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, and that they could continue playing around with the piece, and we might even think that they were working on something new.
 
From a rehearsal perspective the thing here to do is NOT to stop, which Tony didn't, because that is usually the dead giveaway. 
 
No worries, KC will be ready next time, and I bet they will intentionally mess up on this same spot, because they found something to fool around with ... fun times!

I'd never be in a band where they'd have me as a member.
 
But I could start a tribute band call Queen Chartreuse. I'll play all the parts. As bad as that description.
 
Pedro will love it.

Note to self: Never join a band where Pedro is the leader. Or in it.

Of all the things I write, they tend to be a bit on the theatrical/film side of things ... thus, any thing I would do would likely not be on the rock'n'roll side of things, but on the VISUAL side of the story of things, and poems. The closest and best things I can think of that really live in my vision, are The Doors and Kate Bush ... to give you an idea.
 
So to think that an "error" would be a problem, it wouldn't ... it would actually give you/I a new bit and piece that we might eventually find fun to play with and come up with something else. 
 
What I have been doing lately is playing with "sound" and adding poetry and "lyrics" that fit the sequence of sounds, and/or music. This is not "new" at all, but it is an illustration of the sounds, and conversely the sounds are an illustration of the music, since the words would not be there without it, as the "moment" can not be duplicated ... and it will be different the next time ... which, yeah, of course Bapu and all you guys ... would have to be tempered and cleaned up for performance. I'm not an idiot and as a "director" for film and theater, there is a need for something ... and for me, the idea of "pre-conceiving" it ... at times, interferes with the continuity of the material right in front of you, and this is where a lot of music for me loses its appeal ... it creates chord changes to change the mood, and instead it kills it ... it's "mental music" ... and it's not intuitive and free flowing like your mind and mine are.
 
I don't claim to be original, but things do happen in performance, and with a director, you can work on somethings that help everyone come together again, instead of hearing Tony think that they whole thing got really messed up ... and reminds me of Ozric Tentacles here in Portland, who ignored my suggestion to ensure that their keyboards were setup correctly through the sound board, and sure enough twice, they died during the show, and Ed had to "conduct" the drummer to a stop ... because it was all half dead and gone. Those moments really sukk!!! Not much you can do ... sort of like there is a power failure!
 
But, I would never, EVER, get on stage to try and be a Mick, or Bono, or someone else ... plain and simple, and sadly, that is ALL you guys can think about?

The day I hear....let's say, 30 seconds...of music from you, that's when I'll start considering what you have to say.
 
Until then, it's just (too many) words on a forum, as it has been for the last 10 years.
 
 
 

Maybe we can get Kanye to explain Tony's post to Pedro. 
 
Tony's still one of my favorite bassists (that doesn't post here for some reason).

There is a guitar player who I used to play with long time ago -- he would throw his hands the air and shake his head when he made a mistake - It was an advertisement for CRAP I just messed up -- when really no one would have noticed until he spotlighted it in (shakes head)
