Your welcome thanks for that link According to that link this is a mix done by him in 2011 with Fripp and Collins. I take it's him on vocals? I'm not sure what the set up is.

Ian Anderson: I can only imagine me doing it in the context of the group. And in that group there would at least have to be Martin - if he, for whatever reason, was no longer in the group then that would be the end of Jethro Tull. To use another guitarist after all this time would be like getting divorced and then marrying again the next day - no, Tull wouldn't carry on. AND #11, July 1987Well for those who wish to return to 1987 and admit they were a happy couple of guys with a new album "Crest of a Knave", here is more of the same. No matter what Ian does on his own, it is always a Tull album to most people in the world. The idea that Martin was mistreated in any way, is about the affection that some still have for the good ole days. Poor Martin Barre... 2011 Ian - "Hey Martin, would you like to play TAAB for the next 2 years?" Answer 2011 Martin - "Nope" Ian - "Ok. I'll do it my way and you can play the stuff you always wanted to play." I've seen a lot of comments over the past 2 years which reminds me of those who wish to take sides on this issue. Regardless of what the truth was, they felt that Ian Anderson was wrong to use the name Tull on his album or concerts. As Ian Anderson labels his albums or tickets he is always able to have things his own way. I'm happy for that. Let's be thankful for all the cool music we have had over the years and enjoy the new songs yet to be heard. Another Chat Group even created a fake ticket for a concert with Martin and Doane Perry on their 'Trumphant' return. Of course it's always interesting that they still send Ian Anderson all their money for tickets and cds. I guess they can't have the Tull they want, but will pay for the "TULL" they get. I would never go to any concert to bitch and moan about how good things used to be. I spend my money wisely. Also, I have never felt obligated to see any show just because I belong to a Chat Group that promotes it.

Wonder what the Prince Albert connection is? Is it Prince Albert of Sax Cobourg and Gotha - if so is it a Scottish connection ie Queen Victoria and Balmoral? Yep, I reckon it is he. As an afterthought, I just wonder how many journalists and bystanders are still unaware that the characters of Gerald Bostock and Ernest T. Parritt are fictional

Boy I dunno Remy, especially with the advancing years, my perception of time can get skewed. Likely said more than once, has the feel of something said roughly about 8 years ago which makes the likelihood to have been 99.9 per cent of having been read In A New Day. Very good likelihood that it is in one of those 2 interview books. As the day marches on,sometimes I can remember the context in which it was said...but not usually. May have been a question about what IA perceived as the remaining time frame for Tull, but I really don't remember. As to Mick Abrahams and his 8 month tenure ending 46 years ago, I am sure the comings and goings of Tull members are of little concern to him. But in some one of those other bits of Tull info in my head, I do recall Martin Barre to have said he still considers Mick Abrahams to be Jethro Tull's guitarist. AND: It seems a bit sad if the music is as good as ever even if the stage image deteriorates. Can you ever imagine lan Anderson, rather than Jethro Tull, going solo, just walking on stage with your guitar?
Ian Anderson: I can only imagine me doing it in the context of the group. And in that group there would at least have to be Martin - if he, for whatever reason, was no longer in the group then that would be the end of Jethro Tull. To use another guitarist after all this time would be like getting divorced and then marrying again the next day - no, Tull wouldn't carry on.AND #11, July 1987Thank you very much Graham, copied and pasted into my archive

I would never go to any concert to bitch and moan about how good things used to be. I spend my money wisely. Also, I have never felt obligated to see any show just because I belong to a Chat Group that promotes it. Just always keeping in mind one cogent fact. I used the word pragmatic in an earlier post, and Ian Anderson is the last word on that particular human characteristic. The name Tull is used on these and earlier Ian Anderson solo projects for one reason, and one reason only. Unlike Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Pete Townshend and others of his general vintage, Ian Anderson by name is not well enough known for both the people marketing his records, and those leasing their concert halls to him. I suspect this avenue, though I doubt he needed to be told, has been suggested by people who have a financial stake in what he does. It has NOT to do with any delusions that this band is Jethro Tull. Certainly I don't care, I have long defended Ian Anderson as 95 per cent, at minimum, of the brains behind all Tull constructs, This Was and conceivably Thick as a Brick excluded, certainly Jeffrey and John deserve credit in part for the newspaper, and John Evan I do not doubt had much to do with the musical form of that recording, BUT growing from a seed that was planted by IA. One man and one man only will call this Jethro Tull with any authority, and that is Ian Anderson. And as I offered 2 or more years ago, that AIN'T gonna happen. EVER. For whatever his human drawbacks may be he is that rare individual who gets the idea of honor. Jethro Tull remains on mothballs.

You are welcome nonrabbit. It's about time I give a little back. As far as the picture, yeah, they are wearing the exact same clothes and shoes, same hair and all, as in the shots from those new official images. Maybe these guys just don't have much of a wardrobe to chose from?
Did you notice the bit about Jakko sneaking in backup vocals and the other mix he did for Ian? Interesting stuff!

Totally agree, due to my misuse of the English I can not express myself as clearly as does Jim, but as always has nailed it. This is the fake ticket they are disseminating to confuse people. They do whatever it takes to hide the release of the new Anderson's album

It would be interesting to ask Ian what he thinks about this statement now... after all, he said this 27 years ago...! I said a lot of things in the 80's, and I have changed my mind about most of it... lol...

I said a lot of things in the 80's, and I have changed my mind about most of it... lol... I once talked to some Jethro Tull fans in another chat group, and the ones I talked to were very serious about the significance of this statement... so serious that my opinion were considered a problem... One of them told me that if Ian were to call it Jethro Tull, and if Martin wasn't in the band, it would alienate a lot of fans... To be quite frank... It wouldn't alienate me... Some people take Tull very seriously others like to cause a bit of mischief and mayhem every so often and some just go with the flow. The general consensus well as far as the mods on here see it, is that we don't really care what the name is we're just glad of the output ..to be judged and mulled over of course, as and when the next new album appears or concert or proclamation from Ian, Martin and all.

Good point...the whole martin in/martin out is it Tull/ is it Ian question has gotten old....old as the average age of the mods, I'm afraid. thank God Ian Anderson is still making music....which, as far as I'm concerned...is one and the same as 'Jethro Tull'.....and I am enough of a Tull fan to give serious consideration to music made by anyone else who has ever played with ian, brief or 40 plus years...and am glad martin barre is still making music and extra glad some of his music is reworked Tull. What haven't we said about Tull/ian what ian said in 1987 etc etc ( what did you say in 1987 that has been modified since ?) ?

Jethro Tull is in reality a generic term for all things that Ian Anderson is involved in. It's a fact that neither he, or the fans, can get away from or deny. Even the press get it wrong with some calling Homo Erraticus the new Jethro Tull album. The title "THE JETHRO TULL FORUM" remains to encompass all things connected with ALL past and present members of Jethro Tull and The Ian Anderson Band, Blodwyn Pig, The Martin Barre Band, Wild Turkey etc,. Things evolve and progress, don't they.

"In Homo Erraticus Parritt examines key events of British history with a string of prophecies stretching to the current day and the future; visions of past lives caused by the delirium of malaria generate the characters through whose eyes the stories are told, including a nomadic Neolithic settler, an iron Age blacksmith, a Christian monk, a turnpike innkeeper and even Prince Albert."
Living in the Past (1978 Iron Age reality tv) - part 1
Uploaded on 23 May 2008 by dante314159 In 1978 12 adults and 3 children were selected from around 1000 volunteers for the first 'reality tv' series by living for a year on an Iron Age farm as Iron Age people. This film looks back at the original shows and what has happened to them in the 30 years since then

Well said. I'm happy no matter what name we call it. The overwhelming majority still enjoy what is played.
I must confess to telling Florian and Scott in November 2010 that this band was just like Tull to me. In 2012 I did the same thing although it seems to have disturbed a few folks from somewhere. I also told them Ian looked happier when playing with these younger guys. It's all my fault. Yes, I'm the one that pulled the plug on Martin and Doane. My humble apology to all.
The main concern is whether it bothers those who feel it is an insult to Martin to say so. They are somehow comfortable using the phrase "It's Not Tull", as a derogatory term. When others say it is equal or as good as Tull, they may feel angry and bewildered. Next they create imaginary tickets of how Ian should listen to them and bring back the 2011 line-up.
Then come the usual comments Ian can't sing and Florian has no soul or Ryan is like Dick Van Dyke. Oh yes and Scott Hammond is like a metronome or John O'Hara doesn't act as wild as John Evan did.
So any one who feels this band is worthy of the name Tull becomes an enemy and is delusional. Such is the world of those who will never be happy with life in the year 2014 and beyond.
As for me, I'm ready to wear my Tull Shirt no matter who's name is on it. When I buy a cd which says Ian Anderson, it still sounds as good as Tull to me. God Bless the Forum which allows both points of views. Now let's Rock with "Homo Erraticus" !
P.S. Go With Flo Ryan Rocks Scott Kicks Ass John Mezmerizes David Rules The point being still it is a point of honor. One may perceive it by any name they wish, or wear the attendant tour t shirts and other perversely over priced tour merchandize. But knowing the character of Ian Anderson as I do, it is a proud thing that, I will say with dead center confidence, the use of the name by the only man who matters, Ian Anderson, will NEVER occur without the involvement of Martin Barre. Now I am not quite anal enough to spew specific dates of when he may have said what, though I like my chances that he has said it more recently than 1987. But very similar to the Grateful Dead since the passing of Garcia, the name has not been used. For a brief period the name "the Dead" was used, along with a couple other names intimately involved with that general experience, but as anyone familiar with the disparate myths in folklore surrounding the name Grateful Dead, (of course most or all pre dating the music group by several centuries),the reason the name is not used is out of respect to their departed brother. Ditto with Led Zeppelin, outside the wonderful one off, the reason Robert Plant gave for not pursuing it further was that John Bonham remains dead. And even should Martin Barre preceed Ian Anderson out of this world, I will state that IA will never use the name without him in the mix. Additionally as regards the question of how Martin Barre would respond to the question of whether it matters to him I would say point that thing somewhere else, thats a loaded question. One's pride alone may make them give a different response to Joey Inquisitor than would be the actual answer in his heart, ya dig? Now have I been wrong recently in bold suppositions as regards this enterprise? In fact, yes. I believe in 2012 I said something like the possibility that Ian and Martin will not have reconvened by 2013 or 14 to be slim and none. Wrong. However to the extent there has been any real "falling out" I just do not believe that to be the case, and likely all the moreso as regards Doane Perry. It was more than endearing that a guy I believe to be every bit as skilled a drummer as Barrie Barlow and likely more because he has done a hell of alot more of it never lost sight of how lucky he was to be in that band. And forever will be. Our rep and we are proud of him. However I do believe there is a rancid element in their fan base who wishes just that to be the case, buttsniffers as I call them, relatives of Linda Tripp, concerned with other people's houses and usually with a perverse draw to their perceived prog elements of Jethro Tull. The musical worldliness of a housefly.

(... in the universe... lol...) www.cupofwonder.com/benefit3.html#lemFor Michael Collins, Jeffrey And Me:Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds, Blue reflections mute and dim Beckon tearful child of wonder To repentance of the sin. And the blind and lusty lovers Of the great eternal lie Go on believing nothing Since something has to die. And the ape's curiosity -- Money power wins, And the yellow soft mountains move under him. I'm with you L.E.M. Though it's a shame that it had to be you. The mother ship is just a blip From your trip made for two. I'm with you boys, so please employ just a little extra care. It's on my mind I'm left behind When I should have been there. Walking with you. And the limp face hungry viewers Fight to fasten with their eyes Like the man hung from the trapeze -- Whose fall will satisfy. And congratulate each other On their rare and wondrous deed That their begrudged money bought To sow the monkey's seed. And the yellow soft mountains They grow very still Witness as intrusion the humanoid thrill.

The musical worldliness of a housefly. A rather good analogy about Led Zep and the Grateful Dead and one I hadn't thought of. Yes it is to their credit that they stopped using the group names following the demise of Garcia and Bonham and was imo the right thing to do. Other groups - the Who spring to mind as an example - have taken the other road and carried on using the band name regardless. And yes you're right Ray, IA has mentioned the "It's not Jethro Tull if Martin Barre is not in the band" slogan quite a few times and it is to his and those connected with the running of Anderson enterprises credit that he has not done so. And I think Martin Barre has reacted favourably to this as well and, in the end, whether or not the two have had an monster fall out does not really enter into it, both are men of honour which is a rare commodity in this day an age. " Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson" or " Jethro Tull's Martin Barre" is fine by me and I dare say, many others. Both deserve to use the name for what they've contributed to the band over all these years.

I wonder what would have happened if someone else used the name? Jethro Tull's Glenn Cornick, Jethro Tull's Clive Bunker, Jethro Tull's Mick Abrahams
All is well in my opinion which is what Chat Groups are all about. Until you cross an imaginary line. If you create your own name like Fresh Tull or Tull 2014 you somehow run the risk of offending someone.
The insults towards the current members are acceptable to some who wish to turn the clock back. Then the idea that you are dishonoring Martin Barre gets thrown in for emotional effect.
So being happy about this band creates anxiety amongst some fans who are still grieving over what happened in 2011. I cannot grieve for what Martin and Ian are doing now. I hope both are successful.
My respect continues for both. This ain't the Greatful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Pink Floyd, or the Beatles. This band, dare I say "Tull", was a constantly changing and evolving group designed by Ian Anderson. Let's Evolve Ian Anderson's Erraticus Band ? The Ian, Flo, David, John, Ryan, Scott Band?

Two very good points. I suspect that legality might come into it - the use of the brand name Jethro Tull. I suppose in legal matters there's a difference in being referred to as "Jethro Tull's Martin Barre" as opposed to being described as Martin Barre, long time guitarist with JT. I wonder if any of the past members couldn't wait to get rid of any association with JT or are they all proud of it?

All you get your back hairs down or you WILL be locked in a room with Bread ( the band) and water. and a random FATMAN. Everyone is entitled to their opinions...even if they disagree with ME. I'm too busy at work today sorting out certified mentally ill people to sort out you street ready nutjobs in our Tull club. This would be easily worked out over a few beers, a neutral Tull era CD of Ian playing at some violin ladies feet and a group hug with or without weekend beards.......

Short of Hitler ( you've seen the you tube where he doesn't get tickets?) I can usually find something to like about Tull fans.....I mean, face it, the thought of some right wing Brit or American politician blasting Aqualung in their SUVs while they legislate social service reductions or no MDs for poor people is a cheerful image, no ? The parking lot for Tull gigs has more BMWs than VWs these days.....Tull fans are high achievers or pretentious former do gooders now concerned with doing themselves some good ? We need stats on charity contributions according to favorite band...I bet U2, Bruce and Sting fans are proven to be alligator mouth, hummingbird ass in the giving departments....Eminem fans probably most likley to roll down the window, and let some heat and the odd change out the car to the guy on the hiway ramp.

Short of Hitler ( you've seen the you tube where he doesn't get tickets?) I can usually find something to like about Tull fans.....I mean, face it, the thought of some right wing Brit or American politician blasting Aqualung in their SUVs while they legislate social service reductions or no MDs for poor people is a cheerful image, no ? The parking lot for Tull gigs has more BMWs than VWs these days.....Tull fans are high achievers or pretentious former do gooders now concerned with doing themselves some good ? We need stats on charity contributions according to favorite band...I bet U2, Bruce and Sting fans are proven to be alligator mouth, hummingbird ass in the giving departments....Eminem fans probably most likley to roll down the window, and let some heat and the odd change out the car to the guy on the hiway ramp. As far as that goes, I like my chances that in the history of popular music, no one touches the Grateful Dead in the sheer breath of their charitable contributions. Eminem, whole lotta priveleged mf's listenin to that stuff. Its normally those with the least to give who help folks out, because they can taste it, they can smell it, they know. That priveleged element will learn one way and one way only much as history as shown. At the point of the sword. To this point we remain sleeping. to this point. but marie antoinette was no damn fairy tale.

A little bit of a snippet as to the story of Homo Erraticus " “Two years before his death, Parritt had a traumatic fall from his horse while out hunting with the Vale Of Clutterbury Hounds and awoke with the overwhelming conviction of having enjoyed past lives as historical characters: a pre-history nomadic Neolithic settler, an Iron Age blacksmith, a Saxon invader, a Christian monk, a Seventeenth Century grammar school boy, turnpike innkeeper, one of Brunel’s railroad engineers, and even Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. This befuddled, delusional obsession extends to his prophecy of future events and his fantasy imaginings of lives yet to come….” www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/News/en-us/Jethro-Tull-Goes-Folk-Metal.aspx
