Total Guitar April 2024 issue has a feature on MKs Guitar Heroes and interview with Steve Lukather.
I have upped ONLY this part here:
https://we.tl/t-5vyQTlP2K3

Interesting to read(Lukather was told to play whatever he wanted!) and some nice things said about MK and,especially,Jeff Beck.
Enjoy.

many thanks !  :thumbsup

They must have said the same thing to Joe Bonamassa. He didn't sound to excited by it. I wonder if all the artists have recorded there own version of the track all the way through? maybe some will release a cover versin of their own in the future.

Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Peter Frampton just posted a link to the single on his YouTube channel.

It's interesting and entertaining. It's nearly an hour about his complete career with let's say the last 15 min about the project. I learned that the vinyl version is shorter, only 8 minutes something, and thw CD and/or the streaming services will get the full 9 min version. I also learned that MK wrote 26 songs for that musical but I am  sure you all knew that already.

And Chris was there in 2021.

Guy's interview is very good, I wish he would do it more often. I laughed at the part where he defended and justified "fake" Synclavier sounds that give an extra dimension to the soundtrack music they did back then, that's some impressive justification. I'd say it sounds fake, period. Like midi or something. And it would sound much better with a real orchestra, I mean how couldn't it be? Some things are old school, some things are outdated.

At the same time, he openly says/jokes that money is the best part of fame. This Guy guy is Interesting...

How about another huge revelation that Mark wasn't a fan of big stadium shows? I mean we knew that already, but it's another sign that even Mark is no stranger to doing things he's not in love with for a bigger goal, akin to putting a DS stickers to sell more records, etc... Nobody's perfect.

I listened to Guy's song "Shagpile Bed" and it's quite reMARKable how it's similar to Mark's production. Replace Guy's voice with Mark's, add his guitar and you have basically a contemporary Mark's song. I think Guy truly has a lot of freedom, not simply looking at things the same way Mark does.

Great podcast with Guy.
Something interesting, this podcast was recorded 3 weeks ago. Around the 26 minute mark Guy says the band are coming up next week to record more songs.
So that would be around two weeks ago...
More music afther One Deep River coming ?

Haha, speaking of Chris White, about the OES tour, he said, "It was one of the happiest tours I've ever been on. Everybody on stage was happy for the whole tour". This is of course completely in contradiction to other "reviews" of this tour from band members.

And who to believe?  :)

Both Chrises seem to have an opposite reaction, however, their roles were quite different too. The drummer keeps the heartbeat and is the loudest band member, and the saxophone player is pretty much a soloist. Thanks To Chris W (another one) we know he was under a lot of pressure in terms of playing on max volume level and looking for guitar cues all the time and otherwise "suffered" more from Mark's "perfectionism" (huge air quotes) and was more aware of Mark's grumpiness and overall situation. Not everybody can notice all these things, not everybody would care to.

I never believed that a tour like this could be an unhappy business anyway. Stressful, yes, serious, yes, personally difficult for Mark, yes. But playing songs like this, with a band like this, in this meticulously rehearsed fashion, for so many people and sold-out crowds, with a leader like this, with a team like this, it's every musician's dream. Personal life problems, relationships, and stress levels aside, it's great songs played by a great band. And saying this was unhappy is like flying in first class and saying you were unhappy because of the turbulence. It was still first class though.
