|    Frank's Musical Philosophy?????    |
|    19 May 16 15:47:01    |
      From: JYOB@aol.com              What are we to believe here? We all know that Frank disbanded the original       Mothers 'cause he got tired of dealing with bandmembers who couldn't "read"       music (ie.JCB).....Any musician who wanted to play in Frank's band after that       had to be able to read music.       Then, even that wuzn't good enuff! Why deal with temperamental musicians when       one can program their own computer/synclaver to make music, cold & sterile as       isopropyl alcohol though it may be.....              The comes along the YCDTOSA series, where FZ proudly points out the fact that       these are all "live" recordings, complete with all blemishes, miscues, missed       notes, flubs, broken guitar strings & forgotten lyrics that are (he states)       dissapearing from "live" recordings because of better editing techniques due to       advanced recording technologies......& how the YCDTOSA is such a great       testament to the "old days" of "Live" music....              So, which is it Frank? Cold & sterile mistake free synclaver music or a REAL       LIVE Band music...a la Mothers..              Which do you think your fans prefer???              The old geezer              ND: Lord Chesterfield Ale       NP: Second Nature - Steve Roach              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
