Title: What happens when the tour is over?
Post by: Justme on November 15, 2011, 05:14:24 PM
Ok, I suppose they have earned some free days then.

But Fred asked Guy today what they are going to do when they hit the studio next week. Did Guy announce that the band is at British Grove Studios in the end of November, maybe I've missed that?

Yes, according to Guy this morning, they will be back in the studio next week with Chuck.   He has now deleted this post for another reason!

Thanks! Hm, I guess he feels that it isn't time to reveal it all: they're going to overdub all of Marks playing because only Bob is playing the guitar throughout the new MK album  :P
Only kidding, of course.

Ahh, I do think that GF deleted a post again. This time someone asked about his opinion regarding "The Straits" which he answered like this ".".

By the way, I love the way GF is interacting with us, the well-written and beautifully composed diaries as well as his own music. But I'm getting the impression that he is increasingly applying self censorship. Somehow I cannot imagine that MK is so thin-skinned when it comes to news about his music/releases and so on. Are they trying to avoid false expectations or why are they acting so cautious?

First off..I can't imagine that Richard and Glenn haven't thought about taking a couple days off and flying home for Thanksgiving..so maybe Guy realized he should keep mum about returning to the studio for a bit..maybe until the week after next.
Secondly..don't know if anyone else saw this..but he posted an odd response the other day when asked why they didn't spend the night in Rome after the show....something like..'for reasons I can't talk about right now'....odd!

What happens when the tour is over?


first we go through a mild depression caused by withdrawal symptoms (no diaries, no set lists, forums are calmer). Then we pull ourselves together just in time for Christmas and look forward to the new year (new album, new tour?)'

And GF will be helping us through the weeks by putting together a brilliant recording diary on a day-to-day basis  ;D

Seems that the new record will be finished Jan 30th...

Guy: We have actually recorded Privateering although it is not finished, like the rest of the album...which won't be ready by Jan 30th.

Since Privateering is not finished yet, I suppose they have learned something on this tour that they want on the record. Could be great!

The interesting question right now is if Bob will join Mark in the studio, and if Mark will play on Bob's next album.

Not likely, but possible. After all, Bob is in London... ;)

Actually, in studio Bob performs very well. In my opinion.

Because January 30th is maybe the due date for the "Private Peaceful" music score!?

So if his voice is better in studio than his live perfomance then why not :D

If he sings it's ok.
I hope he won't find a spare guitar in Mark's studio.  :disbelief

If Bob did guest on MK's new album just think of the sales...  We know Mark isn't interested in this area but the recognition would surely be welcome and knighthood waiting in the wings. ;)

If Bob was coming and Guy didn't want to say he would have replied "can't comment".

If he said NO, then it's NO.

If Bob was ever going to contribute to Mark's album,
then for me it would be harmonica. Bob has a certain
sound when he plays it. I can imagine it fitting in really well
to one of Mark's songs.

True but the guy (Bob, not Guy) is so unpredictable ...

As Guy said a few weeks ago, Kim Wilson will come at British Grove to play harmonica.

There's a pic on Phil Cunningham's Twitter., some of the guys having a drink nearby to BG, so they are working on the recording right now.
