I bothered John on his myspace and he said it was a bit like having a walk on in his own life story. Quite grateful, as needless to say he could be very bitter, that this undervalued young man still took his rightful place at the family Tull table.

I guess it helps that he's got some good gigs post Tull.Didn't he play with the Divine Comedy recently? And Archive are a pretty good band too (although very unTull!)

Andrew Giddings has said that he has been invited to appear as a guest musician during this tour, but his tone suggested that he was not happy about it at all. I can hardly phathom how anyone wouldn't be a tad bitter after getting cut the year before and then asked to come back for a guest appearance. Nothing against Jon because I think he's a fantastic musician, but when they let Andrew go they lost the nerve center to the music. Bass and Drums are the backbone...perhaps about the most significant aspect of the majority of their songs...but AG laid down a very important foundation, one that I am objectively unable to hear in most of the tunes I'm hearing from the current lineup. I don't mean to sound negative about it, but to me cutting Andrew Giddings is very much akin to cutting your nose off despite the rest of your face...know what I mean? I don't recall if AG specifically said whether or not he had accepted the invitation, but I think his response was in the negative. He HAS been fairly busy scoring for an upcoming movie, as well as cranking out some really fine tunes for Ffandango. Jon is a fine individual as well as a great musician. Considering that he has been the youngest member of the band in the previous lineup, he is very gracious in his demeanor, and very smart. I would think that hanging out and working with a bunch of us geriatric types would be quite trying, and then to be cut loose after so many years of great contributions and keeping a gracious tone speaks volumes about his character. He's a classy guy to be sure. Gosh, here I go, but my mind seems to be overactive...just one more point and I'll shut-up. I think the previous lineup was perhaps the best in terms of producing (and reproducing) the vintage Tull sounds. By far my favorite lineup is the one which included Barry, Jeffrey, John, and David...and eventually John Glascock followed by Dave Pegg. They seemed to flounder a bit in their sound reproduction between A and the time Doane and Andrew joined up. I was really disappointed to learn that AG and JN were out. Rant officially over now. ;D
