Peter Gabriel

2002-09-25 by Colin G Crawford

Dear All

On the subject of whether  Peter Gabriel owns a 'Tron... I very much expect
he does. An anecdote recounted to me by Julian Cope (a true 'Tron devotee,
he has a fluorescent orange 400 painstakingly hand crafted by the Tronbros
... Is he on this list!?) a year or so ago told the tale of a conversation
between himself and the great Mr. G, in which Peter Gabriel commented,

"Oh you have a Mellotron 400?... Oh yes.... Are they the little white ones?"

Strangely, the only keyboard mentioned on the  Real World Studios website is
a Yamaha DX7, and they're a load of bells.

CfN!!

Have listen to the sound track of Red Planet. Gabriel does a piece called "The 
tower that eats people" as the opening and a longer closing/credits theme. If 
my ears aren't deceiving me there is a Mellotron used, set to strings. Maybe 
it's a sample but I trust him to be fateful.

However, he'll remember both models from Banks' use of them - he's never
used one before in his solo career, so I suspect he's gone for samples.
Could be wrong...

Dear All,

Real World studios did not have any form of Mellotron in 1999 as I discussed the idea of them sampling mine but it came to nothing...

Peter Gabriel

For anyone interested, or on the fence whether to see the him or not, the Peter Gabriel show was absolutely awesome. The guy still has it. 6 of the 10 songs off of the new album were played-- which is fine by me considering I think it to be album up to par with "Security" and "III".

The only thing that was kinda embarrassing was the venue was only about 65% filled at the most. I hope this tour doesn't bankrupt him.

Some one mentioned he has gone bankrupt several times. I am only familiar with the Milton Keyes episode. Where there others?
