Steven Wilson is the singer guitarist. Hatesong is the go to song to demonstrate the the skill set of PT. Definitely more jam than they usually go. The discordant feel of the piece is definitely about hate/anger. Wilson's usually more Gilmore in style. Ha. I'm writing this as you mentioned Gilmore. Thanks for checking them out! I would also recommend Anesthetize live in Tilburg. It's about 18 minutes long and one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Cheers!
You went from one of my favorite bands (Ghost), to my all time favorite band/performer, PT and Steven Wilson. In addition to PT's extensive catalogue, you should definitely also check out Wilson's solo stuff. I'd HIGHLY recommend the entire Hand Cannot Erase album. It is a masterpiece.
Can't agree more with what someone else wrote below. Anesthetize live at Tilburg is one of the best live performancee I ever seen. Definitely shows Harrison's skills as well, and don't underestimate this brilliant bassplayer. The synthesizer is played by Richard Barbieri. Former member of the 70s - 80s group Japan. Think he is having a big part in the musical expression of this brilliant group. Thanks for this video, liked it alot. 👍
You might also recognise Steven Wilson from his work producing three of the classic era Opeth albums (Blackwater Park, Deliverance & Damnation), he made appearances in some documentary type footage for those. The other long term touring guitarist with the goatee beard is John Wesley and the bassist Colin Edwin is the epitome of the happy/smug looking prog bass player archetype. Unfortunately those two members I mentioned aren't involved in their recent return, the new music is still good but it doesn't have quite the same kinda energy. Anything from the In Absentia, Deadwing or Feat of a Blank Planet albums or the Nil Recurring EP would be a good place to go next.
Regarding your question about comparing Hatesong studio & live, about 80-90% of the song is the same every time (the studio version is still eight & a half minutes long); seen them live multiple times back in the day and they'd jam out slightly but stay within the main structure, Gavin & Richard like to hide 'quotations' from classic 70s songs into live renditions as injokes to each other to stop themselves becoming bored. If you want more Dave Gilmour style soloing then check out stuff off Sky Moves Sideways, Signify, Up The Downstair or Voyage 34.
Well my friend not sure if you're getting it you mentioned the weird guitar solo well think about what's the name of the song hate song right so that weird guitar solo may be interpreted like that's a sound of hate might sound like and one more thing I think you need to go back check when you said you liked that baseline I'm pretty sure it was a guitar line go back and check
Oh man.. you didn’t get it.. It’s just disrespectful to listen to it as you did. This is a masterpiece!! You listen to the full track then you start giving your opinion.. stoping every two seconds to get your input like you’re Beethoven it’s kind of annoying and funny at the same time. Anyway, PT are not Tik Tok band thank god! If you want to see some progress in your musicality and technique you need to get rid of this app and start playing all day. Sorry if I sound rude. I just can’t understand these reaction videos when people are not even close to this level of genius of a band and still criticise the way they’re playing.
Great band but sorry, Gavin overplays. Of course he's phenomenal with his chops and polyrhythmic tricks, but it stops being musical. He's not playing to a song, he's doing a drum clinic with supporting musicians. Kind of selfish, I'm saying that as a drummer who knows the temptation to flash what you can do.
Geez dude, they did it for the fans, not really hard to understand. Nobody was overplaying, let alone Gavin, they were just jamming and having fun at the end of the song to make it memorable, and given all the different reactions they succeded.
@@Prizzy999 I get it, the fans love it. I'm a big fan of a lot of their music. This one's just too much in my book. When someone is peforming on their instrument with their own voice, personally I want to hear some kind of narrative of ideas, motifs, musicality, whether it consists of few notes or a lot of notes. But as soon as I sense the performer is stitching the perofmrance together from their bag of tricks to show what they *can* do, I tune out. When I was a kid I loved anything instrumentally indulgent, and often tried to emulate it. Now it just bores me to tears. Each to their own.
