I bought this CD when it got released (how long ago was that anyway?) and have still not listened to it yet. It's still in the envelope it was posted in.

I will be in Manchester on Nov 24th. Are you getting the first round in ?

If so, can it be in the Marble Brewery pub in Rochdale St?

When I first heard Revolution 9 by the Beatles (well Lennon and Ono) I didn't really get it. Since then, doing a track or album like that is commonplace and the original White Album 'cut-n'paste' odyssey sounds incredibly short and accessible.

Guitarloops to me is somewhere between Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music and Frank Zappa's Guitar.
It is what it is, a curiosity.

I do hope direct plug-in to PCs does not become the only way to play guitar in the future. There's nothing quite like the sound of somebody pissed trying to put a jack-lead into an amp!

Given that Lou Reed was pretty open about making Metal Music Machine simply as a means of fulfilling a record contract with a label he fell out with and is not a body of music he is proud of, surely you're not suggesting Jason P. feels the same way about Guitar Loops?

I heard Guitar Loops the day after the gig and was thoroughly disappointed, also glad I didn't buy a copy there, though the artwork was very nice. Given I've never tried to listen to it since I'll not rule out that maybe listening in the future it will make more musical sense, but until then I can only say I didn't get it either

I too bought this and don't really get it.

I'm also going to Manchester - is there a large board presence planned?

It's something you listen to once and never again.

Now I think we may be getting into Nigel Tufnel territory here.

hmm. have to agree. I think i have posted before bout my thoughts on this track/cd/e.p. people that say they find things in it can obviosuly dig deeper than me. as a guitarist i find nothing.

Simon, Breeze are you recognizable??
a meeting before or after the show would be nice. or what do you think?
both manchester and edinburgh are open for meeting options.

and on the subject of this thread - i like Guitar Loops. thats something to chew between us if we meet.

Veiko, you are a cool dude.
Your post count just hit 666 which means we should open a bottle of Absinthe or something.

HOORAY FOR SATAN!

Having said that, I only went to the London gig and due to work plus family commitments am unable to do Manchester. Otherwise, I'd love to meet up (and that's a raincheck promise).

Why are the Manchester tickets going for top dollar on ebay? Is there something special about the Lowry?
