Well yes......but while Ian's voice gets worse his guitarists gets better.....it's not going to help the vocals is it I look forward to the new album, I just want to hear Ian's new material, but don't see any benefit from having a new however brilliant guitarist is going to help.. As long as you can be objective about a new album you should expect something AWESOME
In 2012 and 2014 the negativity towards Florian was based on anger over Martin Barre's departure. There are still those who hold a grudge towards Ian too and every member of the current band which is silly.
All the changes since 1968 have had similar outbursts for somewhat personal resentment about which members left. Being a fan of TULL means you should expect change no matter what the reason. 2020 is going to be EPIC !!!! Very wise words from JTull 007

I don't care how technically gifted a guitarist may be, no one will ever be a better Tull guitarist than Martin Barre. If you saw the band live in the early to mid seventies you know what I mean.

If you saw the band live in the early to mid seventies you know what I mean. That's the point I am trying to make, that Florian was a great guitarist, and the new guy is too......but the issue with Tull right now is not the guitarist is it and I saw Tull in 72/73 on the Thick as a Brick tour, which was awesome

All good things come to an end I suppose but thanks Florian for being so great on guitar with Jethro Tull. I agree 100%, I have always backed Florian and his part in the band, fantastic musician.

We may never know every reason but his wife and family are certainly a HUGE factor. That's what happens when musicians decide what is the most important part of their lives. LOVE Yes mate, I totally agree with that...….

I've been a Tull fan ever since 1974 post Warchild. Hilariously every Tull release since then has been an almost infinite variety of disappointments...:-)But i will nail this to any cross that comes along ''Stand Up to Minstrel In The Gallery''. As Dee Palmer definitively stated ''Ian Anderson IS Jethro Tull''.Honestly do i really care who the guitarist is ? Of course not.Florian is a marvellous virtuoso who will have a great post Tull career. Bottom line is that without IA's existence nothing would be here at all would it? We'd all be swirling around in the lush seperation..... Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't understand Tull.(Anyone who doesn't like Passion Play is much the same)Tetvla 36

That's what I was trying to say earlier in this thread. The guitarist in the band has to be skilled enough to play the part......but no matter how good he or she is, like Martin for all those years, like Florian in the recent years, or the new guy, it doesn't matter, because that is not the essential part of Jethro Tull, it is the vocal performance, the presentation of the great lyrics, the telling the story, the genius that is Ian Anderson. Without Ian at the front it isn't Jethro Tull. Good Evening

Just wanted to pop in and say that I enjoy Martin's version of Tull though too, a lot. I guess he's a cover band now?? But I would bet, certainly, that legally Ian is Jethro Tull

Just echoing points already raised, great to see someone as talented as Joe Parrish taking over the reign from the equally talented Florian. Wish Florian all the best on his new ventures.
Joe is good on vocals too - love the tone and emotion in his voice and in his guitar playing. I sincerely hope that he's given some scope on the vocal front.
I'd imagine with his love of folk/rock and classical music he's over the moon joining Tull.

It's been a while (actually, a l o n g while) since my last post. Read the posts about Joe Parrish/FO. Admittedly, I found FO to be 'serviceable' to the back catalog. Martin's sound is and will always be a major part of the JT sound and FO did an excellent job to/for the live back catalog. However, respectfully, his 'style' did little for me - as did the repeated tours playing incarnations and set lists. After following JT through 25-ish shows/tours and being a rabid listener, I just decided to 'sit this one out' with the back-catalog tours. BUT after listening to Joe Parrish, his Holst renditions, and Albion, well, I'm truly impressed - heck he's only 25?! and just consider his skill set. Listening to his talent, it sounds like a great fit for more than just a back-catalog tour and brings a whole new level of play that years of available music influence (and technology) can give. I just hope IA see's the real opportunity to 'up the game' with some 'modern compositions' that utilize the musicianship of JP into some new energized songs. Though I do understand the need to play back-catalog works, 'You're never to old to rock and roll' as the saying goes and that's my hope - the JT sound has been kept alive - maybe it's time for a new fresh sound. Here's to hoping!

Ian has to give Joe the reins to use his prowess, maybe co-writing some tracks for the new album, maybe even having Joe on vocals for some tracks. Of course Joe would have to play the back cat on the gigs, but the new album could be very special.....maybe winning another Hard Rock/Metal Grammy, this time deserved.. Bring it on

The Latin title is the first three words of the first sentence in the text.

I also love Albion and I have bought their EP too And in this video is the first time, I believe, that I see a guitar with seven strings... or the first time I realize it... Isn't it strange?

If Joe had been the direct replacement for Martin, Id have found the split more bearable. Joe is a folk rock man at heart, and thrives on those quirky time changes and Barre style guitar breaks. No question Florian is a good guitarist but his style didn't suit Tull, I thought he massacred "Budapest" with his string bending and turned the Aqualung solo into a near tuneless shred fest. I just hope Ian gives Joe space to shine, but I doubt it.
