We all know who the decision maker is but it feels good to see Guy speaking out and releasing the kraken. I'm sure it has something to do with the HOF drama. Maybe Guy and Mark had a frank talk and our good doc got it all off his chest?

Regarding Mark's playing, it's pretty obvious to me as a guitar player that (and being very generous here) he's no longer at his peak but I do think he can still deliver great performances if he puts himself to it.

I regularly listen my last MK concert - Sion 2015.
Sounds fantastic to me - including Sultans and TR.
Not the best versions ever, sure, and not the fastest ever, but still very good to hear. And fantastic HFB, SAN and GH...

 Let's not exagerate Mark's supposed downfall !

Jokes apart... with last answers from Guy I thought, someone must had hacked his site and the person answering is not Guy.

And now Guy's site is down.

Maybe his site was hacked really, that would make more sense than his latest answers.

Hmmm..  don't believe in being hacked ... what I can report is that he called me "Wolfy" in earlier, not openly released mails. ;-)  so at least that one was presumably from him still...

Revamping the site because of June, 1st and coming up with official news about the new album was my first thought ...

Guy calling you Wolfy was the sign that something was already happening. Didn't know he called you that before.

Let's hope it's just a site updating. His last asnwers were rare, but nice LOL

There are 1 or 2 songs from the current set that I would like to keep listening to - Hill Farmer's Blues and So Far Away (yeah, I'm a sucker for this one).
But the rest, stuff like Postcards From Paraguay, Marbletown, Corned Beef City, Speedway at Nazareth and so on, need to be dropped.
I wish he would revisit Golden Heart and Sailing to Philadelphia a bit more. Songs like Are We In Trouble Now, Rudiger, Silvertown Blues would be great to hear.

Site is back


Is it just me or did he change his answer referring the rehearsals slightly?

I don't think so, looks the same to me.

I hope Guy's new persona sticks around. In fact I tend to believe that's his true persona.

No offence but  I think Rüdiger was played to death over many tours and promo shows.  It's also an extremely dull and boring song, especially when played in a concert situation.  There's loads of rare stuff and songs that haven't been played for decades he could try before any of that.  Personally I think The Dullards would be good at much of the country stuff from OES like When It Comes To You and How Long.
