Bobby Simons Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I always thought Paul Gilbert respectfully did his homework on this one, he really lays into Keith"s solo...

Song80s Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 as much as I like guitar, when I heard the first 10 secs of Hoedown, that sealed the deal. I totally prefer mr Emersons great work, any day, any century. Quote Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?

Docbop Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 As a guitarist I have to say that is tracking great. As to the content he's playing I'll leave that to you guys, I'm still a keyboard noob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Emm Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If Keith was still around, he'd listen to that, grin at Paul and just say "Bloody hell, tryin' to put me out of work, mate?" He loved Rachel Flowers, so he'd surely have a similar take here.

stoken6 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 impressive technology, but couldn't Carl have found a keyboard player to do that? Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old No7 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Dang it...... I was all set to plan to go see "Carl Palmer's ELP Legacy Band" near Worcester in a couple of months -- until I started viewing all the youtube videos showing the band fronted by guitars and NOT keys.... I can't do it... This youtube video of CP's-ELP-LB covering Hoedown (click for link) sealed the deal for me -- I won't pay to see that...

StickMan393 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It's not to my taste either, but Kudos to Palmer for creating a different take on the musical legacy. I think he succeeds in creating a unique twist on the music, that avoids the "cover band" slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with his drumming on the many vids I reviewed, but the guitars -- not so much... Sure, impressive musicianship to cover Keith's licks and runs on frets -- just not something I'll pay to see...

miden Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 There's also a few pretty good axe-men out there who shredded the Four Seasons (Vivaldi) as well Pretty damn good too I reckon!

EricBarker Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Sorta like present-day King Crimson: they've done one hell of a job divorcing themselves from the infinitely iconic Belew era sound, while still making the music really come Maybe this is heresy, but the greatest bands don't stay "true" to their sound, they evolve as they-themselves evolve, and ignore what fans THINK they should evolve to.

Mark Schmieder Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Yep, I felt the same way about those Carl Palmer videos. Totally lacking soul, timbral variety, dynamics, etc. But guitar can be OK (I'm not a big guitar fan in general, placing it just barely above organ on my preference list), as was evidenced by the great work done by The Nice. So it may just be the player at fault, vs. the choice of instrument. Yet I would think it makes sense to re-imagine the parts fairly significantly as well, once shifting them from Emerson's keys.

GRollins Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I saw Carl Palmer doing the ELP tribute thing when I saw Yes...uh...two years ago, I think it was. I loved listening to Palmer, but the guitar covering the keyboard parts did not work for me at all. To be honest, given that Alan White wasn't doing well (he only effectively played half the show, with Steve Howe's son covering for him when he was unable to play), I kept thinking what a blast it would be to have Carl Palmer playing with Yes. Unthinkable back in the day, but it sure seems like a natural fit to me now. Grey Quote I'm not interested in someone's ability to program. I'm interested in their ability to compose and play.
