@OB1 How was Liam at Reading btw? Saw the Kasabian set and it was brilliant
100% pal, 100%. The ARW shows earlier in the year were pretty special too btw
I thought Liam was very good. Enjoyed his solo stuff and the closing Wonderwall could have been the highlight of the weekend until Brain Johnson joined Muse for Back in Black!
Muse, and I'm not a massive fan, were brilliant. Totally eclipsed Kasabian, who were enjoyable and also had a very pretty light show but not quite as good as Muse's.
Interesting - and I'm a massive Rush fan btw, and I enjoyed Bruford with Genesis and Yes - but I do think your last sentence is confusing who is the best/most virtuoso player, with who produced the best music - not necessarily the same thing. Clearly Geddy Lee is a better bass player, but Waters playing was more than adequate for what was needed in Floyd - - because the the quality of their songwriting was so great. I wont compare them as lyricists as obvs Peart wrote the lyrics, but Waters wins on that count too imho
Not a Muse fan at all - cant abide his singing - but now you've told me that, I'll have to get the set on iplayer and fast forward it to the last 10 mins then.
For me DSOTM and 'Division Bell' are Floyd's best albums. Never got into the early stuff.
I do really like 2 of the tracks on Division Bell - Keep Talking and High Hopes which has incredible guitar on it - but the rest of the album pales a bit for me
Couldn't agree more pal.For me DSOTM and 'Division Bell' are Floyd's best albums. Never got into the early stuff.
