I come out of this with a new appreciation for Bonamassa, unbelievable tone.

He just confirmed what I already thought about him - he has to show off all the time, playing louder and faster than anyone else.

I didn't get that feeling...in fact I thought Joe was very masterful, dignified and very melodic in his piece.

Yes, he can play much louder and faster, if you want... I was on his loudest gig in Kassel some years ago.
Next month Münster. You have to give him a deeper  listen

Perhaps the other work I've heard from him is clouding my judgement here but I just can't take to him at all.  Then there's the sunglasses - make him look like a pimp from a '70s B-movie.

Hahahaha, no different Joe wearing sunglasses to someone we know wearing a sweat band on their head! Both practical reasons even if it makes you look like a tennis player!!

Bonamassa has really grown and matured a lot over the last couple of years (also as a singer and songwriter). I'm taking him seriously now, which I certainly didn't back in 2008-ish and for a long time afterwards.

Maybe I should take a listen. I also remember him playing too many notes too fast.

He really has. Have you listened to his work with the Black Country Communion or Rock Candy Funk Party? Amazing stuff. As for his solo work, he seriously should get together with a different producer and hire great songwriters.

Quote from Steve Vai:

"In this new video that was made for 'Going Home', the names of all the various guitar players come onto the screen when their riffs are played. It’s so beautiful to hear all the different and distinct tones that match the players. I was honored beyond beyond when I received the invitation to contribute to this historical track. Check out the new video for 'Going Home'."

High praise from Steve there, it just shows me the respect Mark has from other great players.

Nice. I saw a tweet from Ringo promoting the record the other day as well.

No, Guy said it would appear at the same time as the video but it obviously didn't.
Looking forward to it though.

Pete Townshend shared it on FB

I wasn't able to get a copy of the bluray in time to listen to the Atoms track. Does anyone know if it's available on Amazon Unlimited?
Thank you!

GF:

Sadly we missed Mike Oldfield. I’m not sure if he was asked.

[qjamesfloyd]

Yes, as you can imagine, I asked Guy about Mike, shame really, he would have really added something to this track.

[ds1984]

Maybe for the 2025 expanded version ?

[Iron Hand]

Seems like Mike Oldfield has pretty much retreated and retired from the business. He didn't even continue his reissue series, nevermind the promised Tubular Bells 4.

[qjamesfloyd]

He has basically retired from releasing new music, the last being the Tubular Bells 4 demo, which pointed to something that could have been amazing, but he decided not to continue with it for reasons unknown. I thought the TCT thing might have tempted him out of retirement, he is a big fan of Mark and owns a MK Signature Strat. I am still hoping he will continue with the re-issues though, Amarok in 5.1
