Anesthetise (live in Tilburg). They are one of the best live bands out there - this version may even sound better than the album version - and Gavin’s drumming on this song is some of the best rock drumming I’ve ever heard.
Steven Wilson , the lead singer/songwriter of Porcupine Tree, is a solo artist, engineer ( the whole King Crimson catalogue , Yes , Jethro Tull , Tears For Fears....), and a producer , including Opeth's Blackwater Park and Deliverance/Damnation.....and is one of Mikael Akerfelts best friends. I am 54 ( same as Steven Wilson) and find his style, influences ,and tastes right up my alley. He is absolutely progressive, but he hates labels. This song is about a serial killer, which is why it is brilliantly juxtaposed with the beautiful sections. It is from the killers point of view. Check out their latest Harridan.....by the way, the drummer, Gavin Harrison, is one of the BEST drummers alive....or ever.
Their albums In Absentia, Deadwing and Fear of a Blank Planet were the soundtrack of my teenage youth. Crazy huh. This album is loosely themed around serial killers, this song is for sure about that subject. It's very cool song because you would think it might be a love song but quite the opposite, I guess. Nice pick!
Porcupine Tree is my fav. band didn’t discover them until 2017 :( and it was lifechanging for me. It’s a very diverse band from psychedelic Pink Floydish songs to more poppy melody driven over to more heavy songs. As you seem to like the latter more, I recommend: “Cheating the Polygraph” live from the “Anesthetize” album or “Hatesong” live from the “Arriving somewhere” album. Thanks for the reaction 😊. Greetings from Denmark.
Super reaction, You should defo check out more from these, my fave band, fantastic live and Steven Wilson is a genius.. these guys take you on a journey! Yes the acoustic Does come out sometimes 😁 hard to choose my fav album or track but if you have 17 mins then check out anesthetize live, arriving somewhere but not here live is also a great watch, take the journey man. 👍
I discovered this great band in 2010, listen to all their albums, and became my first reference to alternative progressive rock. I mean I like Pink Floyd but I love PTree. Pd. Wanted to have a sense explosion? No doubt Anesthetized (live) or Deadwing were the ones for that. 😎 Saludos Bro.
I can see some Oasis in this, maybe a supersonic-ish riff, and Wilson has kinda similar vocals to Liam? Nevertheless, I would only consider Oasis Rock N' Roll, man; not pop rock!
This is a sweet song about a serial killer. Drummer, Gavin Harrison is, imho, the best ever, but not demonstrated on this track. Hate Song live in Chicago is mind blowing.
Hmm wouldn't call it emo. It's rock and sometimes metal... Steven wilson's thing is actually to write sad moody tunes, maybe that's where you get the emo thing from
