Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted August 22, 2005 Members Posted August 22, 2005 What do you think of music like that? Traveling Wilbury
Moderators Lee Knight Posted August 22, 2005 Moderators Posted August 22, 2005 I dig. Anytime I hear that rock thing with electrics and Gibson acoustic guitars in the mix, I'm swingin'. Dry vocals, tight, punchy drumming... you bet.
Members fantasticsound Posted August 22, 2005 Members Posted August 22, 2005 Originally posted by boosh Very very cool. Ditto. I love the Wilbury albums. Every song is strong. What a joy to hear a supergroup that never touted itself as such, live up to and surpass expectations by simply getting together for a good, musical time. I also like the specific arrangement choices of who sang what on each song. Petty is.. well, he's Petty. Equal parts pop star and storyteller. It still amazes me he was never relegated to being a fringe element, what with that voice and all.
Members Spencer Crewe Posted August 23, 2005 Members Posted August 23, 2005 Wilbury's/ Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers is some of my favorite music to listen to while on long road trips. I can't put my finger on exactly why - it just is. Cheers!Spencer
Members Tedster Posted August 23, 2005 Members Posted August 23, 2005 You're talking to a Tom Petty fanatic here. And, as a Beatles fanatic, teaming George Harrison and Tom Petty, along with Orbison, Dylan, and Jeff Lynne was a great bit, I thought. I'd like to see 'em bring back a version of the Wilburys, perhaps with McGuinn filling in for Harrison or Orbison. If you're a guitarist, Ultra (or anything)...the thing that amazes me about Petty's music is that he can come up with so many really fresh, cool tunes with so few chords. The other night I just strummed out "Learning to Fly"...just F, C, Am, and G...over and over, but such a damn cool tune. You can cover his tunes either with a full band, or just acoustically, and they don't lose a thing! No stratospheric "Brad Delp" or "Steve Perry"isms...no "Yngwie"isms...just good solid stuff. Petty and the Heartbreakers are also, to me, proof that you don't need to sing like a singer's singer, or play like a player's player to put out top notch, singable pop rock.

Members Tedster Posted August 23, 2005 Members Posted August 23, 2005 Just out of curiosity, why are you asking about the Tom Petty/Wilburys thing?
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted August 23, 2005 Author Members Posted August 23, 2005 because i have some songs on my desk from a prominent english songwriter/guitarist, and everybody tells me that they are in this style. I knew the Wilburys and Tom Petty of course, just didn't listen to it for a long time. I research for possible artists to produce this songs.
Members Tedster Posted August 23, 2005 Members Posted August 23, 2005 So basically, your job is to match songs from a given list of songwriters to artists that may record them...and try for a good match (so you don't have, say for instance, Celine Dion singing a death metal tune)... In most styles, or do you cater to a specific genre or genres?
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted August 23, 2005 Author Members Posted August 23, 2005 I'm a Composer, Producer, Arranger, Engineer... what is known as a Chief Executive Producer, responsible for the whole Kindergarden... this titels are just for the dummies! Not all styles, just what we produce. No metal at the moment!

Gsus It's allways the same with those hotshots,... doing nuttn all day,..watching hotgirls with beers on the internet and letting ghostwriters do all the work
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted August 23, 2005 Author Members Posted August 23, 2005 ding dong, booshy is saying something... the forum is just on one screen.
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 I'm a big TP & The Heartbreakers fan... a great (and as individuals, highly under-rated) band IMO, and as far as songwriting, TP is definitely a very talented man.
Members KB Gunn Posted August 24, 2005 Members Posted August 24, 2005 For years I could never get into TP. Seemed too simplistic. Now I can't get enough of it. I guess I am getting simple as I gets olda! I liked him in the Postman with Kevin Costner too.
Members Tedster Posted August 25, 2005 Members Posted August 25, 2005 AHA! The mask comes off...and it's ANGELO!!! Eeeeevil supervillain producer, sitting at his comfy desk in Switzerland there... I think you've hit on a good point KB...sometimes "too" simplistic is good. To everything there is a season, y'know, a time for King Crimson and a time for The Ramones, a time for John Coltrane and a time for Clarence Clemons. It's all good.
