Jethro Tull

[Rob W]

I sure wish they'd release more new albums though. Only two fully new material CDs in 10 years?! Whetever happened to an album a year like the old days. Heck we had 10 albums of new studio material in the same time period in the '70s!

More Tull, I say!

Unfortunatly, Ian said a couple of years ago that he'd focus on touring instead of recording. I'm not sure if they will ever record another album...

I picked up the DVD of Jethro Tull Live at the Isle of Wight
on sale for 10 bucks. Probably the best 10 bucks I ever spent
in my whole life.

Glenn Cornick just rips it up in the DVD. Great performance.

Glenn, you ARE THE MAN!!!!

Been listening to minstrel in the gallery a lot last week. It's amazing how much of the lines in there sound like basslines I hear in my head (I've just got to get them out )

For all you UK people, tull is coming to the UK again to tour in March. Unfortunatly, the eu locations are either spain, austrial, switzerland or italy Anyone going?

Glenn is the man....

....I've been going through Passion Play...some of those Jeffrey lines are so interesting too....

I could've sworn Jimmy Page played bass for him, at least for a little bit.

Well, Tony Iommi (from Sabbath) was briefly the guitarist of Tull in the early years. I think his EGO clashed with Andersons, how could it be avoided?, and he left... (went back to re-form Sabbath).

I've got a lot of Tull on vinyl, and some on CD too, and the two excellent DVDs, Living With The Past, which is recent concert stuff interspersed with a pub-like setting for a reunion of Anderson, Cornick, Bunker, and Abrahams (very cool to see the guys getting it on!) and A New Day Yesterday which is a smattering of various periods and sources including concerts, TV appearances, and promo videos.

I see me some Blodwyn there ; }

I was listening to some of my dad's old vinyls today, and that bassist is nuts.

Can someone tell me who he/she is, and what kind of gear he/she uses?

thanks.

Give this a look. The bassist appears to have changed quite a few times.

Most of the early stuff would have Glen Cornick on it. I seem to remember him playing an old Gibson EB-O hollowbody. He had a jazz streak in him! I especially liked 'Stand Up" and 'Benefit' ( I consider pre Aqualung as early)

 

[McHaven]

Glen Cornick was a fan of Fender Jazzes, and Gibsons. Thunderbirds and end EB0s particularly.

 

[morf]

One of the first things I learned on bass was the solo to Bourée Really loads of fun to play.

 

[Pruitt]

And why the heck hasn't this thread been stickied yet?

Heck of a good question! Heh heh...

 

[Thor]

Bumpity bump.

 

[Thangfish]

Wonder if Funkster ever got him a copy of Stormwatch?

Great thread! Lots of memories of my teens.

I've seen them in concert 3 times. They were fantastic everytime.
