TOMMY in Bass Player (mag) April09

[Chief]

One thing I found interesting which I have no idea if it was common knowledge, but Pitman has been around since 98.. i figured he joined in 2000.

[draguns]

It's a good article. I'm glad that someone else in the band is now giving insight as to what was going on with the recording of the album.

[Chief]

agreed... and all this time i thought roy thomas baker was good but he ended up delaying things even more!!!

[PJ]

well thats his style.. overblown productions
with 3000 differents guitars..  1000 amps.. 10 kinds drums

i remember an RTB interview about the darkness last akbum production.. saying they used like 30 dif guitars in just one song.. with parts where one guitar was just a few secs

[GNRFAN20]

Seems like Roy added problems to the recording process.

Tommy 

Great guy, great musician!

For those 0,2 % of you that don't have his solo album (Village Gorilla Head), pick it up. Well worth your while. Not so much what's in the title, Village People, Gorillaz and Motorhead but I will say that he is forever blessed by me for including Motorhead in the title! 

Will be a blast to see GNR live again and in looking forward to many of the new songs, one was actually If The World and Tommy on that. Funny.

Why are the scans of this magazine filled with HTGTH watermarks? Do you have some form of agreement with this magazine??

She does a service for this site so go figure.

Riad live kick ass! The Vegas 01 performance was killer and I'm sure the band have fun playing it.

Are you sure its Motorhead? I thought it was Radiohead...

Well, I agree with you - VGH is awesome. And it would be really cool if Tommy put his next solo album for free download!!!

I've been meaning to ask about these scans, actually. I enjoyed reading the interview but are these scan any more legitimate than say an early gnr leak?

If you want me to remove them, just say so.

We'd just have to make sure that everybody knows that the objection came from fellow GN'R fans.



It seems like some of you aren't happy that GypsySoul has spent her time and money on bringing these articles to all of us here. Just simply because she chooses to make sure that those who like to post others' work as their own, can't do so as easily as they wish.


Within like half an hour, the article was posted on other forums. That in itself isn't the issue. The problem is when people just take and pretend it's their work. I don't think it's unfair that she should get some credit for actually typing the article out.....

"What really happened was the record company stood back and left Axl to his own devices. Axl had all these ideas, and he needed someone to help interpret what he wanted. He had to bascially produce himself, and that's not what he went into this wanting to do."

I thought that was the most interesting part. It makes some more sense of what Axl said in his last interview.

aye

Tommy on "Why I Called My Album Village Gorilla Head"
"It comes from the song on the album called Village Gorilla Head which was three parts of music that I was trying to sew together to make a song out of. When I first started writing, for lack of anything else to call it, one part of it reminded me of Motorhead and one part reminded me of The Village People. As I sewed it together it seemed a good idea to call it Village Gorilla Head. Some people might find it interesting, but I don't. After trying to come up with serious titles and funny titles, my manager came up with the idea that I call it that. I thought about it for about half an hour and decided to go with it."

^ Oh, I see. To be fair, never ever noticed

Also, don't forget people who couldn't buy the mag because lives in another country.

Is she the author of the article?

It's not an objection. I'm pointing out that you're breaking copyright rules and to have it watermarked as "here today..." maybe isn't the smartest idea ever

Since you used to be so big on copyrights here *cough demos cough*, I thought it went for all things copyrighted. Not just certain things, which makes no sense at all.

[jarmo]

You are 100% correct. Spreading unfinished leaks that were stolen and you paid nothing for is exactly the same as GypsySoul buying a copy of a magazine and spending her own time typing it all out for others to enjoy. Everybody is here is a likely Bass Player magazine buyer and reader. 


Do you know how much material on fan sites is selfmade?




It's somewhat telling that the guy who's offended by this is the same guy who's spent a lot of time whining about how this board is run.

Edit: I put the scans back. It seems like there's something called fair use.

If you're the copyright owner of said piece and you object to us using it for news reporting and commenting, please get in touch and we'll remove the scans ASAP.




You'll have to ask those DCK and chuzeville what their real problem is.

I'm sure it wouldn't have been a problem if there was no mention of where the scans came from. So they could've posted them as their own work on other sites without mentioning this horrible site that can't be mentioned by name.

For those complaining, we still got the most important part from their website.

Do you have plans to do more of that?
I do, but it?s a hard racket to get into. And right now is a really hard time for movies. A great way to get back into it is to hit the independent film circuit, but since so many hedge funds have gone bankrupt, there aren?t many indy movies going into production right now. I?ve had to put it on the back burner, but my studio is up and ready for when I do get the call.
I like the idea of having my own studio to score movies, but I can?t really count on those jobs coming in. And I?m going to be pretty busy with Guns for the next year and a half, so I might rent it out or put it in storage. I?d like to say that I?d use it to produce bands, but there?s hardly enough time to do my own music.
