I was listening to "The Whistler" yesterday and thought it had similarities with "Dun Ringill". Anyone agree or is it just me.

I do love the late 70s computer generated effects on the Dun Ringill video - reminiscent of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy BBC series of a couple of years later in many repects.

If you're not sure they sound similar, try playing them both together. But start Dun Ringill at 0.16 secs.

I can hear it now - I was going to say that I couldn't hear a weather report on The Whistler Great idea for a thread too and just to add one of those obvious comments that you have a need to say sometimes as a Tullfan - isn't the intro to the Whistler fabulous.

Most obvious example is a pair of dogs: Piece of Cake and Dr to my Disease. Also, I noticed the other day...Hardliner, the Rock Island outtake...sounds like about 5 other rock island songs at various points...it's like a musical summary. Starnge Avenues and Whaler's dues very similar to each other. I somehow hear a lot of TAAB in Back Door Angels.....realize it's not rational.

Agree with all of that except where you spelt realise with a z.

Well...I shouldn't be surprised that my very short list of Tull songs i don't like will invariably be someone's favorites...how could that not happen? TooTull made me reconsider 'Twitch in Slime' which I now like a teeny, tiny bit more than I used to and even find a faint echo in 'Banker Bets'...I'm not sure i'll ever like: Dr to My disease, Piece of cake, This is not love ( or any good), 4wheel Drive and a few other non-favorites...shock horror...i never liked Hymn 43 but liked it a little on the 40 year tour. Oh yeah.... I HATE another xmas song...and not cuz I'm a chosen person...I like the first one, jack frost and most of the xmas album. but come to think of it, don't like solstice bells much.

There is only one devil. Only one Tull devil bored. We can laugh now... LOL! Don't tell the Devil Bored. ;D Mustn't think bad thoughts. I must have been a bad man. I can't even play my TAAB2 videos.

FI----HATED 'Steel Monkey' the first few weeks of 'Crest'...couldn't understand why they would do a cheesy ZZ top imitation...but when ex-wife pointed out what a great name it would be for my bicycle messenger service...which had outgrown it's original name, 'E.C. Rider' ( because we were no longer limiting clientele to Embarcadero Center part of SF)...I paid it more attention, realized how relevant it was to bike messengers with only a few little changes...and started to like the music, too...the rest is history.......opposite story: LOVED 'White Innocence' listened to it daily, loud, for many weeks when Catfish was new....now can barely stand it....dunno why.

When pearl jam played 'P.O.C. with Neil , He let Vedder make a couplet: Bought a magazine to read about the scene, it didn't tell me beans...it was a piece of crap'
so i did one for my kid'
'bought my kid a doll she hardly played at all the head broke off
it was a piece of crap.
PIECE OF CRAP

I was disapointed in Steel Monkey too Bernie, and, along with Raising Steam and in small part Said She Was A Dancer (some nearly cringe worthy lyrics therein)is part of why I believe people err with their assessments of albums, marking ones that have their favorite tracks on them as best, where as I assess overall qualty, and whatever else the rest of Crest was, there's about 30 per cent of it given to low grade material. Not on the 87 tour where whatever memory I have of it is not all that great, but on the 89 tour coupled with Strange Avenues, and the 1999 tour, Steel Monkey comported itself very well. I know what you mean about White Innosense, though I do like that instrumental break, and maybe thru having heard Budapest 100 times too many, White Innocense has worked its way back into my good graces. And whatever show from 91 I think that Remy posted here about a month ago, White Innocense shines nicely in that show, from somewhere south I think, maybe Istanbul. By the time that tour reached the USA I am pretty sure it had been cut from the set. Ian may have sensed there were too many quiet points in that song that would leave open opportunities for the Aqualung shouting guy(s).
