Outrider Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Press release for the new album <--clique Seagal, Wonder, and members of The Wailers. Steven Seagal, one of the world?s most popular motion picture actors, hasn?t finished surprising us yet ! ?Songs from the crystal cave? is a true gift to us. His love for music, and especially American Black Music, has grown together with his passion for the guitar, which he has been playing since the age of 14. (snip) The exceptional collaboration of Stevie Wonder on « My God », on which he furiously delivers an amazing harmonica solo, adds some magic to the album and to Steven Seagal?s velvet voice.

Caevan O’Shite Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Well, that's unexpected... Gotta admit, it'd be easy to snipe and grouse, but I'll wait 'till I hear it to pass any judgement onnitt. Who knows, it might actually be good! Then again...

Wewus432 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 That's bizarre. I had no idea he was a musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeronyne Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Actually, my best friend did a bunch of musical work with him about 5 years ago. He is a capable guitar player, and he's very into blues/rock and surprisingly humble and respectful of it...I would never have guessed that considering his public persona. I won't comment on the quality of the music since I haven't heard it. It should either be surprisingly good or incredibly bad...but isn't that the case of almost all celebrity music attempts? "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he's smart enough to not enlist Buzz Publicity to spam us and create exciting new categories for the Grammys! Based on the write-up stating that he's "one of the world's most popular..." (I have to heartily disagree) and "actor" (I have to whole heartily and vehemently disagree since the very little that I've seen of him in his "movies" (another questionable term) does not meet my definition of acting by any stretch of the imagination) that can be argued. Don't get me wrong, I can watch "Terminator" and similar movies all day, but IMHO the only reason I can assume that Stevie Wonder worked with him was 1) he couldn't "see" how atrocious of an actor Steven Seagal is or 2) he needed a paycheck.

I admit I've never watched an entire Seagal "movie", but I've seen pieces here and there on HBO, my brother-in-laws house etc. I've honestly given it a valiant effort, but it was ABSOLUTE torture to see him try to act and I just had to change the channel or go to the other room. Maybe I should try again?? What would you recommend, dak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave da Dude Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Stop speculating Go to www.amazon.fr and listen for yourself. They have samples of the first five songs there. I didn't care that much for "Girl It's Alright", the one that's getting all the hype, but it is kinda' hard to tell from a ten second sample. I kinda' liked "Music" and "Better Man"; "Route 23" was good He seemed to find the upper (for him) registers better in that song. Guitar, a basic strumming style, but not half bad. I'll give it a seven, some good slow dancin' Not overwhelming, but I've heard worse. Of course I doubt he would have been recording if it weren't for his name and/or money Take a listen Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need".

It was his acting in the couple snipets that I saw. Maybe I was watching the wrong movies?

Guitarzan Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 i don't expect every movie to be an academy award winner. i like all kinds of movies. and i do like seeing the bad guys get thier asses kicked hard! i don't think watching Steven kick a bit of butt is that bad. there are far worse movies to watch. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being a snob to action movies by any means. Actually one of my favorite movies is "Lethal Weapon". I have no problem watching action flicks, horror flicks and even chick flicks (with the right motivation). It's just that IMHO Steven can't act his way out of a paper bag in all the movie snippets that I saw of his. Bruce Lee was a better actor, Chuck Norris is a better actor (but not by much) I know the horse is long dead now, but I had to get one more kick in.... Furthermore his guitar tone on the couple songs I heard samples of might be worse than his acting (unless it's my laptop speakers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarzan Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 well it may be true that steven isn't the actor most people aspire to be. i would say action movies are not really looking for actors. they want people who look like they can kick butt. most movies for the general public lack any real script so i can't blame the actors. i listened to the clips Dak , and they are not bad. actually i would say i could listen to Steven more than John Mayer. mayers voice drives me nuts. this seems like something Steven Seagal always wanted to do and was never given the chance, if that is the case i applaud him, we should all be allowed to acheive or dreams. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The samples are ok, IMO, but he did what seemed to be a credible job playing the guitar, along with Marty Stuart. The movie, I think is Fire Down Below.

skipclone 1 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I know he`s a guitar collector, got himself several vintage Strats. Can`t say much about his playing yet but Aikido can be pretty hard on manual dexterity, I`ve found that out the hard way. If he wants to be really great maybe he should consider Tai Chi or something.

Sauce Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 maybe he should get together with eddie murphy and do a remake of "party all the time" Then you'll never hear surf music again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
