And who has been better than Jaco? On bass, there’s no one like him, there’s no best drummer, no best singer, nor the best of anything except for Bass. The bass was just a background instrument, then Jaco came along, and it became THE BASS. Come on, it’s obvious and objective to define Jaco as the best; all the best bassists in the world say so. Let's be real, Jaco invented it all; people play, Jaco invented. Ricky Frusciante, if you say "Flea" I’ll laugh for three months, please tell me so I can have a good laugh. But about Odra, I’m curious: Dave Holland? Wooten? Or a rock one… Butler? JP Jones? My favorite rock bassist is Jack Bruce, just for the record. But who is better than Jaco? /// Regarding Joni, I agree that I prefer Mingus above all.

Well, if you don’t like Gentle Giants, and if for you they were just a means to an end, you’d better just do like the anonymous one and say "prog crap." For me, the GG are enormous; if you don’t like them, there’s little to discuss. But I’m not mocking you; you’re the one throwing out random phrases. If we talk, let’s talk about concrete data, don’t make up songs that are 31 minutes long with two 15-minute solos. Talking about fantasy makes me lose interest. Explain one last thing to me: according to which mental block should I not bring Robert Fripp into the conversation when talking about Prog? What sense does it make to say "don’t bring Fripp into it"? We’re talking about Prog—how can I not bring up the king of prog guitar? Eh :D

Grasshopper: take this DVD. It’s not just nice: it’s amazing. They feature the best Joni pieces, all shining in a radiant afternoon, Pastorius (oh, I got it for Pastorius, I’m biased) does an 8-minute solo session that you won’t find in any of his other works because he really gets into the Blues of the situation and unleashes distortions worthy of Jimi Hendrix, and indeed he even throws in a cover of Third Stone From The Sun, Don Alias is in top form with Congas and bells, Mays on the keyboards isn’t very prominent but he’s still Mays, not just any ordinary player. Brecker doesn’t just interpret the pieces but transforms them with various solos. Pat is Pat and as usual does his thing, and before the end of the concert, he steals his ten minutes; being young in this DVD I like him even more than when he’s older, he’s more instinctive and plays fewer scales. Then I think Joni really delivers her best performance here, even though a true Joni lover appreciates her at the piano at the Isle of Wight, I prefer her here with the guitar, swaying and clapping. Oh, nothing against the melancholic Joni, that would be a miss, but I really like this version more. This DVD is a masterpiece from start to finish, one of the most beautiful I have alongside Miles Davis at the Isle of Wight, Pink Floyd at Pompeii, and the Band Of Gypsies in San Francisco. Get it, it’s fabulous. Buy yourself a DVD player, or watch it on your PC, but get it. :D

Jubbo, I bow.

No no Katzen, that advertisement drives me crazy: the bitchy sister, the stupid husband, the idiot neighbor all wrapped in Santa Lucia mozzarella... a masterpiece.

Then you can explain to me what the line is that makes you say Jimi's solos were useful, while Fripp or others played them for their own sake. Maybe you can also tell me what leads you to say that a superstructure has come out poorly. I can guarantee you’ve only heard three prog albums in passing.

Now tell me the title, year, album name, and band of this 31-minute song with two 15-minute solos that had me in stitches. Then it's quite comforting to see you limit progressive to 3 bands. Voodoo, come on, give me a break...

<<<So every greatest hits album by every band is just commercial?!?>>> Of course.

...I was also on a temporal step Odra, maybe in a few years they will make self-updating pages, for now you'll have to get used to the misunderstandings caused by "messages written while you were writing," it's a tough plague to conquer. :D

My shaved grandfather died a while ago; I arrived too late. My mom caught a glimpse of him too, he would be over a hundred now. Because, do you also have a shaved grandfather who took a photo during the war with the platoon? But isn’t it that the son of a bitch had two wives and screwed us over? Fortunately, my grandmother has been gone for a while too; otherwise, she would have gotten mad as hell.
