Went to see Peter Gabriel last night at Wembley Arena. Hats off to the geezer. Not a bad show at all. Shame the actual venue is a pile of shite.

I wish more artists would move out of these sort of venues, with crappy fold down seats, narrow aisles. No room to get up and dance, having to go out of the area to get a beer, not being able to surge the front of the stage. Not being able to smoke.

AND. I had to fucking leave before the end so I could get my last train out of london. How fucking sad is that. 11:30pm is the last train out of London down to Kent. What a fucking pile of shite. Its laughable. A major capital city and the fucking trains stop at 11:30pm, and even then I had to fucking get a taxi coz it didnt go all the way to my station.

No wonder people drink drive.

Anyway, Pete was good.

Didn't even know there was a Wembley Arena. Didn't they tear it down? Or is the arena different?

Good to hear Pete's still at it.

the arena is different- an indoor affair...saw the pumpkins there they were excellent but have to agree the venue is crap and the transport is a nightmare- we literally had to hijack a black cab to get back over the bridge...

Speaking of Pete... Swedish webzine The Cricket has a competition. If you guess which beard
belongs to mr Gabriel you can win all of his solo albums...

he's like a daddy to me. my favorite songs in life....amongst them are...supper's ready...the musical box
and well...tons.
met him once in a huge empty conference room containing only a trash can and a seat on which he sat his body and bald head.
one of the first guys to use a beat box
in pop music.
we owe more to him than we realize.

I like a lot of his music but I think he's a bit pretentious.

well of course he's pretentious. look at his life, and carreer!

I've loved PG since I was a kid. and yes, go back to the early eighties and he's using 808's and juno's and things. What's funny is, back then... we thought he had a band! hehehe

"Selling England by the Pound"... man, I wish Genesis kept that sound. And it was PG who took them there. His voice, to me, is the ideal male voice. He may not have much range, but the harmonics in his tone are simply amazing. The man needs no effects to sound large as life.

"Security" is another favorite of mine. I don't care if David Copperfield tries to ruin his music with theatrics, I think all his tunes are pretty amazing.

share about peter gabriel that might help

a person which exists in all of us....as you
must well-know xoxos.

heh - I was in the mosh pit at the Dandy Warhols last night as it goes - nice and sweaty - yum! - they were ing tedious tho frankly after a while, it just went on too long, and half of it was music to slit your wrists to. They were a bit 'poncy' and the drummer played the same f*ckin beat to every song it seemed, although I was well pissed so I might be mistaken... Oh well, so it goes, I don't really know them that well so I wasn't expecting that many drivelling slow numbers, but for the 'fans' I guess a 2 hour show was good value.

"the drummer played the same f*ckin beat to every song"

More than one drummer has made a million off of that.

I read somewhere that The White Stripes have made a big issue about the fact they used old analogue recording technology on their latest track, to give it a distinctive sound.

How ironic then, that I should use the latest in digital peer to peer file sharing technology to download it off the net for free !

And it was shite.

Well, I have to preface this by saying I'm a huge fan of drummers who are there to keep the band grounded with a solid, steady, backbeat. I'm not a Neil Pert fan. That said...

Ringo Starr comes to mind. The Beatles became superstars with a simple 4x4 backbeat.

Charlie Watts (with the Stones, not The Charlie Watts Quintet) also comes to mind. Of course. you can't expect Charlie to get too complicated when he's with the Stones. Might distract him from choosing the night's twenty year old groupie. ;)

I get fed up with drummers who cant do any hi hat work, or leave the fucking thing open all the time and whack it in 4/4. Its bland, and sounds lazy.

Vinnie Coluita, best drummer I've ever heard. With Stewart Copeland coming in a very close second.

x, entertaining, but surely it just shows if you listen to enough stuff backwards you're bound to hear something intelligible and relevant eventually. Have you come across the psychophon?
