Re: New keyboard player
He's been mentioned a few times now, think it's a given already that it's the fella from Rialto.

Re: Dark Matters - Second Thoughts
Even with you doing it?! Jim Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk Maybe. Finger picking acoustic guitar is not remotely my cuppa but I could get there after much prep - a pro musician should be able to fathom it instantly. Better! Who you got in mind?

Re: Dark Matters - Second Thoughts
Are you talking an acoustic ensemble or solo guitar? My answer was based on solo and even though possible, not employing the riffs/keyboards lines from either song is in my view missing out the essential markers that distinguish the songs. Actually, you're right - having just tried Sewer in a vague...

Re: Dark Matters - Second Thoughts
DNB yes, the others no - they'd need completely rearranging and therefore lose their identity. EDIT: Actually, Genetix transposes quite easily to a three chord strum and retains it's integrity (mostly.) Speaking as someone who has spent a lot of time looking into how most of those MKI songs work, i...

Re: Dark Matters - Second Thoughts
Roll on the tours is what i say... you never know they just might do White Stallion live and that version could be even better if that's possible, now there's a thought. . As for your comment on "White Stallion", I'm not confident a live rendition would be "better" since at its ...

Re: dark matters chart chances
I kinda agree but if he was gonna do another solo album I'd rather he looked at other musicians - I think he needs to freshen it up tbh. Otherwise it'll just sound like another tired rock album. Jim I agree. Given his musical influences and interests he could give wings to those with a different cr...

Re: dark matters chart chances
Well ultimately we have a choice right? We either keep on following whatever it is we're following with "The Stranglers" badge on it and keep handing the cash over or not. Jim Who told you that? If someone other than JJ or Baz is writing the songs then it's hardly the Stranglers is it? I ...

Jim Most people in the DM camp accept This Song as a belter despite being a cover so I don't think it's relevant anymore? If their next album was Feli...

Re: dark matters chart chances
He was edging towards a bit of Brexit stuff, and was rude about Liam Payne. There you go and I was just guessing. :lol: I don't dislike Bob but can do without his latter day preaching whereas his colossal effort for the famine is without question a noble achievement. Don't rate his music either apa...
