      Not from the Steven Wilson interview I heard earlier, he said they’re going to tour then that will be it and he will be back to being solo. Don’t shoot the messenger btw lol, it was on a zoom interview with those two guys who used to host the old grey whistle test in the 80s, can never remember their names.

While Colin and his soothing basslines will be missed, I respect his decision as well.

The other three continued to share ideas just for fun until one day they realized they had enough material for a new album. This was mentioned by Richard in a podcast he did some weeks ago.

    Colin missing from stage will be felt by old time fans. When I saw Porcupine Tree in Melbourne, in 2008 (I think) my partner at the time and I shared a pill before the show and got a spot right in front between Steven and Colin. We loved watching them both just play. Got lost in it, really. Quite an amazing experience. We have gone seperate ways since then but remain friends who still chat every once in a while. So it’s easy to understand how certain friendships don’t end, but change. I wish all the band members, old and new all the best. The soundtrack to such amazing memories with beautiful people.

    Wow, Gavin refreshingly candid about how a musician might not enjoy playing a song on stage, or even hating it as time goes on. Musicians are great actors in the way they put up an excited and energetic performance of a song they've played 1000 times in their career because, much as they hate it, they know they are fulfilling the dream of people in the crowd. Yes "Roundabout" comes to mind. I've seen them play it in all its forms since the 70's and I still love it, but they must be dying inside!

  • @tylerjacobson8012
    @tylerjacobson8012 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The first question about time signatures is really a good question for musicians. Great musicians who write in odd times tend to just feel music in different time. The main thing I’d say is just write what feels good and don’t inhibit yourself at all to feeling a groove or structure. Just sculpt pieces of music until it feels like it works really. That’s the root of what makes progressive music so amazing and liberating. It’s really great and capable players/composers just experimenting.

    5:12 Wilson, Barbieri and Gavin If you're read this, please come to Asia, at least to Japan. I think fans from other countries in Asia will be there for your tour.

    Having seen Steven Wilson solo 3 times with 3 different bands, the players were always exceptional. No doubt PT live will have a great bassist and 2nd guitarist.

    "I think the answer to that is 'Closure/Continuation'" - classic comeback to that last query; nicely done :D I also loved Gavin's answer to that query about the odd metres; it was easy enough to for all levels of (non-)musician to understand yet it didn't patronise in the slightest. An erudite trio of gentlemen.

    I'm probably an odd fan in that I pay close attention to the writing/lyrics. It is modern poetry and PT has never been disappointed in that regard. It's something the British bands have always been good at over the years-Yes, Pink Floyd, the Who, - all the great bands had great writing and PT follows in that proud tradition.

    What Steven said about people engaging with music and how it's difficult now with how much we all struggle with Attention Deficits due to all the online social media internet stuff really resonated with me.
    I remember 20 years ago, how I could listen to an album and be totally zoned in the whole album, noticing all the little details with ease. I don't have that now. I have to consciously wrestle and hold my attention on music to achieve that now and, even at that, my mind will wander so easily, unless I really focus. As a result, I can burn out on long albums.
    One thing I've been doing to help is having the lyrics on screen, especially the Genius website, which actually shows where the Verse/Chorus/Bridge is, rather than just listing the words. There's something about being able to track the 'shape' of the song and the structure in my mind that helps me appreciate and follow and stay focused. Also, just reading the lyrics helps focus my attention by having something else to focus on that's still connected to the song itself.
    Once I'm very familiar with the song structure I can follow it without the lyrics and appreciate it more.
    Thankfully, I've been a music listener for long enough to show an album respect and give it attention and invest time in it, where as I think a lot of kids, will switch a song off unless it's constantly jumping out and flashily catching their attention.

    You're a lot famous in Istanbul/Turkey it is actually your top 3rd monthly listener, but you've never came here still. Mr. Wilson came once before on his solo tour and that is just it. Istanbul wants to welcome you.

    In one of your concerts a couple of years ago I asked the question "Will Porcupine Tree ever get back together" and everyone just laughed at it and it got skipped over. Needless to say, I'm very glad to see this!
