The Mellotron Group

I remember Rutherford's pedals making my bowels rattle during Steve  
Hackett's solo in Firth of Fifth.

The bass drones in 'Watcher' on that would have come from either  the 
Hammond or possibly even from Mike Rutherford's Dewtron bass pedal unit. I  
acquired one of the latter devices earlier this year- a wierd mixture of  
indestructible steel chassis, resin-potted electronics and super-flimsy  plastic 
pedals and key contact switches.. works fine though now. It only makes  one 
sound, but it's HUUUUUGE :-)

If I had one shot at time travel I  think I would still probably use it to 
catch an early 70s Genesis gig... or  lurk outside a certain Munich beerhall 
with a BSA fork  stanchion...

Love and Scones,

I don't particularly mind the theatrics, although I do  find Gabriel's 
onstabe manner somewhat grating.  I don't know why,  exactly.

Again though, better this than the scuffed trainer of indie  landfill 
singer treading on the face of humanity FOREVER.

I have to agree with Mike.  The only difference is I do enjoy a  lot of the 
compositions but the stage theatrics leave me cringing.....

My point is only that the whole spectacle looks  idiotic.  I'm pretty sure 
I would have thought the same thing at  age 20 as well.
