Great news! Thanks for posting Rod!!! German/Canadian collaboration - I love it!!!

The Mute Gods rule!!! :hail:

Alex played on three tracks of Minnemann*s last album.

On That Note is a 9 minute psychedelic ride where Alex shows, how smoking pot, is a creative way to lay down some cool guitar parts. He's also playing acoustic and FX guitars, on the 6 minute remix version.

South End is four minutes long and a little bit more straight forward, but still very spacy. Alex has some fantastic moments in this song.

Wow, I listened to these Minnemann/Lifeson tracks. That is some weird S***!... I hope this new project is a bit more mainstream. In fact, Let Alex write the songs and Marco can add his drums later...

 

Usually it's the other way around. On the Levin Minneman Rudess album, he wrote all the riffs.

Yeah, he's not only a beast on the drums, he's also a damn fine guitar player and...

I've seen Oink live when he brought him to the Aristocrats show.

I had heard of Marco, but didn't know much about him. Checked him out... wicked drummer, right up there with Thomas Lang, Portnoy, Mangini, Gavin Harrison... he also plays guitar, bass, keys... and sings. Album should be good with Alex on it.

Just to throw this out as a total tangent (yet tangentially related):

 

Drummers today are so f***ing amazing it’s hard to imagine how much technically better they can become. Metal drummers, even though I generally don’t care for most of the genre, are f***ing octopus’ on speed. Them, jazz drummers...Everyone has independent limbs playing multiple polyrhythms.

 

But...they all kinda sound the same to me. That’s what set Neil apart is that he didn’t sound like most other drummers especially pre-T4E...when he tried to become less compositional did he start to drift toward sounding like your everyday drummer octopus.

 

Cary on.
