The All Jethro Tull Thread

[JohnN]

The most intriguing & mysterious bands of all time

When it comes to music, intrigue and mystery can be just as important as lyrics and notes. Here's our list of 20 bands, past or present, that fit the bill.

"If it wasn't for early prog, heavy metal would sound different today": Metallica's Kirk Hammett on discovering prog rock

It took a while for Kirk Hammett to properly listen to prog rock, but once Metallica's guitarist dived in, he went deep

www.loudersound.com

By his own admission, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett was slow to pick up on Jethro Tull's charms, insisting to Goldmine last year, "But that’s really not the reason why I wasn’t into Jethro Tull, believe me. I just never got around to it." Once he discovered Tull, however, the guitarist immersed himself deep into prog, falling in love not just with classic artists such as Yes and King Crimson, but also the likes of The Mars Volta.

Whoever wrote that blurb on the website... could they be that clueless, or did they only glance through the lyrics quickly with no attempt to really understand the meaning of the song? Perhaps they are being deliberately ironic, but I doubt it. Some Tull lyrics may be be a bit cryptic, but not this one: clearly it's about a character who proclaims themself some sort of guru, and proceeds to take advantage of the narrator by having a good time at their expense, while imparting no meaningful wisdom, just a list of cliches. Pretty much the exact opposite of the description in that list.

It sounds totally like an AI generated paragraph to me. Probably the whole article is.

A 5.1 wish.

Hope this appears on a deluxe book set of Crest Of A Knave, if they continue with the reissue series. Should follow Under Wraps in about 2 years time, unless they start to cherry pick from the remaining studio albums. Great, great song.

Plug for my new Tull video:

Marvel as renowned QQ member with engineering degree goes nuts trying to extract discs from the Broadsword & The Beast packaging.

I eventually figured how to get them out. Even Ian Anderson didn’t try to extract them during his unboxing video.

Brings new meaning to the Clasp.

You know, right after I posted my comment, I went back and read the whole article, and I thought the exact same thing. But they even have a fake(?) bio of the writer! Probably also written by AI.

Broadsword and the beast box. Enjoying the CDs a lot. There was some magic going on. Sadly my surround system is still in boxes as I have moved to the country. Hopefully I will crank up the DVDs in a month or so
