I need some Primus albums.
Just listening to the new Abbey Road remasters...a bit more oomph in the drums and vocal clarity.
Haven't listened to the demos yet and don't know if I will ever hear the 5.1 mix.

I don't like the 2009 Stereo remasters. They are too compressed and somewhat unbalanced.Quote:

I enjoy Abbey Road - but it's the slick editing that makes it more so than the songs and performances.
Sgt Pepper in mono is pretty much perfect - not a fan of the stereo version
I like the Naked Let it Be.
I like the 1990 rerelease of the EP's on CD - they sound great.
Do you have the three Anthology albums ? I think they are probably my favourites.
The Anthology albums are superb. There can't be too much demo stuff left. There is a 50th anniversary Let It Be in the pipeline and it will be interesting to see if they go down the orchestral route or not, probably do both. Hopefully knock the movie into shape too.
You mention the editing but the demos also show the band playing Side 2 in one take, showing that as a combo it still worked.
I have the Pepper 50th pack and it has the mono, the previous stereo, and a new one by Giles Martin which is much better than the previous.
Sadly talked to some 20 somethings last night who didn't know who John Lennon was.....as my earliest memory is wailing "She Loves You" in front of an old wireless I must be gettin' old!
Do you have one of these to play your beatles records ?

I've heard the 2019 Abbey Road on CD. It's horrible. It's compressed and brickwalled within an inch of its life.
No wonder CD is a dead medium when they release shit like this year after year.
We may need to hear the vinyl.....not on todays dinky turntables but a real one - my Kenwood system with proper speakers - all bought from Brian Bambach in 1981.Quote:

Seriously reckon Devy has outdone himself on Empath, easily my album of the year, crushing Opeth and Dream Theater and whatever other stuff came out that isn't worth remembering.
PS this is also the track that Chad Kroeger does some back up vocals on.
I've left my headphones at home today..Quote:

“We met by chance, and ended up forming a friendly acquaintance,” Townsend tells us. “One thing that I would say about Chad that I think will eventually be known about him, is that he is a functioning genius, in my estimation. I think that people don’t realize how clever that guy is. And his success in a lot of ways, I believe — although what he’s writing is coming from a place of what he wants to write — I think is his ability to analyze the public and musical structures, and the ways that people react emotionally on a commercial level is such that he is almost more like a scientist than he is a rock musician.”
He continues, “And I’m fascinated by people who are clever, and specifically, when the cleverness of them is something that I can make mental notes, and refer back to my own work with. It was a godsend for me be fortunate to interact with him for a few days, because just by watching him function and by being able to ask somebody with that sort of pedigree questions that had been plaguing me about my own career, it allowed me to make decisions on Empath that I don’t know if I would have made had I not made his acquaintance.”
Very interesting..
Allegedly he was best mates with Vinny and Dimebag from Pantera...
As an angry young elitist metal head (back in the day), I could never understand why.. I guess this sheds some light on it..
The Abbott brothers are Texan and almost ten years older so it would seem unlikely.Quote:

One of the greatest guitarists of all time. I love Iron Maiden and Sabbath but this band took it to another level.
Ohhhhhhhh yeah Dunster...
Now we are talking..
Did you ever see them live?
One of my brothers mates offered to take my 15 yr old arse to see them in '01, but my parents (after consulting my dick of a bro) vetoed the idea. Still hurt to this day that I missed out.
He did come home with a black eye and another had a busted hand or something. The death would have been worthwhile in my opinion tho.
I was at that show in the Hordern...Quote:

1994 with Powderfinger and Silverchair. $39.90 a ticket. Far Beyond Driven tour.
1996 with Biohazard and Shihad. $46.90 a ticket and I came home with dimebags pick. That was the Great Southern Trendkill tour.
Was sure I saw them a third time somewhere but can’t think where.
Unfortunately I didn't - but can remember people living in Merewether at the time were complaining about the noise of the 1994 concert from Newcastle Entertainment Centre.Quote:

I hate to change the subject away from Pantera...
BUT
I finally listened to the new Tool album last night...
I've only been through it once, but my initial feelings were that it was pretty good..
Musically, its brilliant.. The drums sound amazing, the bass tone...... fvck me, its so good.. Guitar - you know its them..
But the vocals.. Maynard, wtf are you doing!!! Where is the feeling? Anything? He seemed more concerned with getting A Perfect Circle melodies in there, than he did with actually having any substance to it..
I don't know.. I'll definitely be giving it more runs as I have heard its a grower..
When you have a net worth of $60 million dollars it's not as easy to relate to your audience or indeed have the same passion for the music you once did.Quote:

At least they haven't continued 46 years too long like the Rolling Stones.
Yeah, very true..Quote:

Which I feel is admirable, but from a selfish point of view, a bit sad too..
Last Thursday - Hilltop Hoods in Zurich for last show of european tour... was good fun...
Then was off to Berlin for the weekend.....
Prinz Pi / Prinz Porno - German Hiphop/Rap... was a good night... €3 beers and €7 spirits... goodtimes
Download 2020 festival announced...
Pretty damn underwhelming to be honest..
Clutch, Testament and In Flames.. Maybe for some Carcass (I'm assuming that's what the generic metal logo says? haha)
https://www.downloadfestival.com.au/...l%20poster.jpg
Anyone else go see The Chemical Bros in Sydney?
I went on Sat night and it was bloody awesome!
Berlin for some German hiphop sounds like an awesome time!Quote:

Hands like Houses are a good Aussie band
Yeah of course I've listened to them before.. I'm not just hating on them for their eye makeup or fringes.. haha..Quote:

I understand that the UK Download and our Aussie one are two totally different beasts...
But have a look at their lineup from last year.. Then have another look at ours. (Yes, I know we are a long way for bands to visit, ours isn't three days, etc etc)

Your last points in brackets is why you can't compare them.Quote:

I realise people are going mental for MCR reforming and coming out.. Thats fine.. I was simply saying that the whole lineup so far is pretty underwhelming from my point of view..
Did everyone on the UK Download 2019 listing above appear ? Or was that the best case scenario before the usual in fighting between bands at festivals about who gets to go on at prime times and who draws the short straw to play during the day or the graveyard shift ? best time is always just on sunset.
I've never understood why anyone would want to attend these types of events regardless of who was playing - acoustics are horrible, bands never want to be there, and you have to deal with mongs, seccos , and cops.
I'd much rather see a band in a format like Grimario did with Devin Townsend.
No idea mate..Quote:

My festival days are long over.. I used to absolutely love it back as a young shiner. Eventually it felt like the lines got bigger, the toilets dirtier, the bands shittier, the mongs mongier.. etc etc
