  1. That Bruford/'70s band always reminded me of MO., even before I knew much about music.
  2. Mike, I think there were a lot of fusion and prog rock bands that were influenced by Mahavishnu. Guy Please go ahead and drop some names - I'll gladly stand corrected. Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow, Wired and There and Back. Yes - Relayer
  3. I'm under the impression that the tapping influence on Holdsworth came from EVH! I think he was only doing it around the time of Road Games.
  4. Holdsworth doesn't do much tapping at all. Probably none in many, many years. It's all done with one hand...the connection is the legato feel. When we started this thread last night I was only thinking of the first lifetime and it seems like the question spread to metal...I don't even think of EVH as metal.
  5. I know the music of Allan Holdsworth, EVH is no Allan Holdsworth. Doesn't even sound like him.
  6. Well, Emerson was clearly influenced by jazz. But not necessarily by Lifetime. Yep.
  7. It sounds like maybe you're asking what kind of influences there were on Lifetime...?
  8. Interesting question. I'm not surprised that Fripp was blown away, I think they all knew who McLaughlin was and were following his playing. Of course Mahavishnu was the next step for him. I also think Mahavishnu was probably a bigger influence on ProgRock. I kind of wonder about Yes and/or ELP. Yes was too structured for any real improv, Relayer has it's fusion freakout section - but it seems composed. If Keith Emerson was influenced, he never showed it. Any other bands that were or could have been influenced? Henry Cow - doubt it. Gentle Giant - don't think so. the Mothers and other Zappa bands - not obviously so. Pink Floyd - not much of a Jazz influence at all... the Canterbury groups - not from Lifetime... most of the Jazz influence on ProgRock seems to show up in one chord jams, from Kind of Blue, maybe?
  9. I'll be older and maybe dead, but I don't think my opinion on Chick is going to change. the Miles years - great, maybe even amazing Circle - amazing RTF - uh oh... Scientology - the point of no return, except for the ECM trios with Roy Haynes and Miroslav Vitous.
  10. About what? His playing, or his albums? Huh? What? Has Chuck hijacked your account? This isn't the first time my posts have been compared to CNs.

  12. Well...I didn't think it did.
  13. Let's see how you feel in 10 or 20 years.
  14. You can throw them too.
  15. I've seen them in upstate NY too.
  16. Hmmm.... snails are pretty tasty, and slugs seem to be little more than snails w/o shells... Snails I've had...slugs, not. The soft, slimy bodies of slugs do seem like perfect sushi...except (from the folks at Wiki): Flash freeze them like any other Sushi...
  17. We had squirrels in our attic once. I can't imagine what the slugs were doing up there. Let's put it this way...I don't want to know...some unholy slug stuff probably. Did Ozzy eat slugs? No, bats. I think that says it all. Maybe he eats slugs, but doesn't tell anyone about it. Not even Sharon.
  18. So what's this all about then...what did slugs ever do to you? Is it the apophallation? Is it because they're hermaphrodites? Do they steal your weed? What's the deal?
  19. Ask yourself: what would you rather do, drown in beer or have your head cut off? I'd go for the beer...may do that right now...
  20. When I was at Princeton I made it there at least once a day and often more! Great shop. Perhaps the only thing good about that town. Always sort of wondered where their stock was coming from. They compete with Academy as one of the biggest buyers of collections in the area. I used to go more often pre-Y2K.
  21. You guys never make the trek down to the Princeton Record Exchange? I haven't bought vinyl there (or anywhere) in years, but I do stop in every few months.
