Keep in mind that someone else performing full time vocal duties would mean that IA would not be "seen" as the front man. I've no objection to any of the other full time members helping out now and again with the chorus of a song or when the vocal register is now too high for IA to reach for example. On the last tour in the UK at the Royal Festival Hall David Goodier helped out on one or two songs and maybe that's the way forward. If MB suddenly found he couldn't play the guitar as well as he does, would we accept a substitute guitarist playing the intro to Aqualung insted with MB reduced to a position of 2nd/rhythm guitar?

;)Thank u, Tommie (me!) for lighting this fire.
Interesting that I get rudely chastised for bringing up Ian's embarrassingly pathetic vocals and told "this has been discussed to death. It's a MOOT pioint."
Then, this poll begins. Hmmmm....Well this poll is a MOOT point b/c Ian ("Mr Ego") will NEVER let it happen. Plus, u think Mr. Tightwad is gonna take on another salaried stooge?
LOL.

The fact that they continue to deteriorate to the point of embarassment while Ian continues his endless touring is a subject that deserves to be discussed. A lot. In fact, it is the single most important issue as far as I'm concerned. The youtube video which features the DayGlo Pirates frontman as a guest vocalist on We Used to Know is perfect for contrasting how Ian sounds now to how he used to sound. I say let the Dayglo Pirate guy be the reincarnation of Ian, with Ian himself limited to the flute and occasional singing. Jeff

FYI you were not rudely chastised, you were politely given the suggestion that you do have the option not to go and give your money to "Mr Tightwad" to hear his "embarrassingly pathetic vocals" You obviously have contempt for Ian Anderson as a person & utterly loathe his vocal performances and yet continue to go and see Tull. May I ask why when you know you are going to hate it? And this poll is just for fun........it's supposed to be fun here

LOL Maybe we could have a separate topic....'Anti Tull' ......no wait !!! AUNTY TULL - a problem page for those who have problems with the band. Dear Aunty Tull I've lived with and listened to the same man for 40 years.....

Jeff I think it's way too long for anyone to be holding a grudge against Ian. And what's the point in beating this horse to death? This is what the man has chosen to do. If anyone doesn't like it, that's too bad. No one's forcing anybody's hand here. I don't mind listening to the opinions of established posters. People that I KNOW are true fans. But I have no time for a "newbie" who's here just to talk crap.

and, if you do like the idea of Tull using another singer either fully or partially, who would you like to see singing? Wow that was fast! Thanks Col! Who would I want as lead vocalist? That is a good question and I won't ruin it by saying the guy from Journey! But you know I bet if IA held an audition, a suitable vocalist could be found. It doesn't have to be an established rock singer and I think an unknown and younger person would put some life into the proceedings. I was going to nominate Quizz but he is older than IA...

IA could NEVER NOT be seen as the front man for Tull. Ever. He is prominent enough by playing flute, and all the other instruments. Plus he would be up front on the stage. And most likely making the announcements and jokes as always. The only thing that changes is the singing. The comparison to MB is apples to oranges. MB was never the focal point of Tull. And the second guitarist in the band is IA! MB would either be in the band or not in the band. And his presence or lack thereof, would not mean Tull could not go on. Tull without IA is a different story.

Seriously there is no Tull without Ian, and I dont know why anyone would blast him so much. for still going at it. Some people have issues. but for fun, I'd like to say, its intersting to hear Paul Rodgers singing for Queen. I think Paul Rodgers could do fine job, his voice is still great. saw his solo band a last month, it was great.

Amazing, I go off for a weeks holiday, and whilst I'm sunning myself in the Italian lakes hobnobbing with George Clooney and his buddies I'm being abused on here...... Anyway, I'm up for it if Ian is. and, for the record, I'm a good 9 years younger than Mr A and have slightly more hair although not as much as the young master Col.

Hi Ryan, How's things? At this very moment I feel a lot older than Ian.....despite my comparative abundance of hair and the positive age differance in my favour.

It's no so bad as it is...Ian figures out which songs he can still nail, writes plenty of new ones like he did during the first wave of voice failure ( Crest with Knofler comparisions) sprinkles in plenty of instrumentals ( of songs that have words...pussy willow/pibroch style..(.NOT Bouree, Cuckoo, Pavane. Grimelli) and most important...goes back to no more than 3 nites in a row and generally cuts back on touring (except to my area)...although I kinda suspect he figured out that the 3 nite in a row thing...enforced for a long time in late 80s and early 90s...didn't make a big difference, or maybe it's the opposite...he's gotta keep singing every nite to avoid voice loss...who knows...and you can all spare me blaming his stinginess on the nites in a row....Tull goes a long way for a couple gigs here and there in countries with funny money all the time...you can look it up!

Nope. No way. Huh uh. Tull without Ian singing is not Tull. Not interested in any other singer. Nope. Ian's voice has progressed as does his music. They are one. They are the same. Shame on you for putting such a thought in my head. As for him "still" touring...HELLZ YEA!! Missed him this year, I won't miss him next time. So, yea, I hope he tours again! and again! I don't care if he's a wrinkled up old man and all he can do is speak the lyrics, I'll be there! Rock on, Ian! Rock on!!
