In A Tidewater Surge Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Gavin definitely surpasses Neil in a lot of places, and he's one of the best drummers I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yeah, I agree with that. But Neil does surpass Gavin in many other places as well. I've kind of decided that they're equal, in the sense that they're better than each other in different ways. I wonder if they're friends. They should drum battle each other I bet they are friends. Anyway, both bands are just full of monster musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the atmosphere. Thanks for all the help guys! Also, I just bough FoaBP. Anesthetize is beautiful, and I love Lerxt's solo in it. I also think Pure Narcotic is one of the three most beautiful songs in the world. (Not counting classical music). In my opinion, they are: 1.Bravado 2.Nevermore (by Queen) 3.Pure Narcotic I really like that tune too. It is a song about how SW doesn't write songs like other bands per wishes of the industry. Hence the listening to The Bends by Radiohead. There are no drums in Pure Narcotic (sorry, Gompers ), which fascinates me because it took me a while to realize it. SUCH an amazing song. I'm telling you.... SW is one of the most brilliant songwriters, composers, musicians out there. Just about everything the man touches is GOLD.

Good,bad,andrush Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Is there a reason why Trains and Sentimental have similar riffs? Or rather, practically the same riffs? Or is it just a coincidence? I'm trying to find a connection. Edited December 30, 2010 by Good,bad,andrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they like to do what Pink Floyd used to do, which is reference other songs. That sampled "metal" riff used in both "Anesthetize" and "What Happens Now?" for example.

I've been listening to this guy's drumming...he is a monster, very creative, and I think him and Neil are quite possibly the two best drummers alive. Definitely Neil's successor. Remember when Neil was THE prog-rock drummer to listen to and talk about? Remember when Neil's drumming was influencing drummers everywhere? Remember when Neil was winning Best Prog Drummer every year in the Modern Drummer magazine polls? Gavin is sitting in that seat now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal was the first song written for FoaBP and Sentimental was derived out of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger J Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 After picking up the DVD just before christmas, I have been listening to PT on a daily basis - I'm addicted. The lyrics, music composition, the riffs - just blow me away. FoaBP is my favourite, followed by In Absentia and Deadwing. Gavin Harrison - WOW!

If not, get Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun, and The Incident next. The Incident takes a few listens to fully appreciate it, but it is a great album. They are awesome! Porcupine Tree is probably my second favorite band, next to Rush. The thing that is great about them is that each album is different and have a different "sound". No two albums are the same.

Yeah I've managed to get hold of all of them - though those three are the albums that clicked with me on first listen. I'm the same, Rush is still on the pedastal for me too, but PT is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
