The Mellotron Group

It's really a shame as Michael Giles and McDonald are from the original
band. Peter Giles' bass playing with that slapping popping crap is so out of
the style of the music. What happened to that great Fender flat round string
sound? He certainly played great bass on Cirkus.

Well, I was truly sorry that I found this on YouTube. And I am glad I did
not see these guys when they were in LA.  A very lackluster performance of
Epitaph. I think that whatever the keyboardist is playing for the
"Mellotron" may possibly be the worst sounding samples I have yet to hear.
And the end is rather embarrassing as he bends the pitch up and then
releases the wheel before he releases the chord. The vocalist's phrasing is
completely off. Just a bit depressing after seeing Crimson in 1969.


 

 

After seeing 5 seconds of this, In think it is the 21st century schizoid
band. And yes, it does suck. They were using stock Korg, "tape sampler"
shit.
