"zebthecat 10:07 Sun Aug 2 Cheers. That makes a lot of sense. I think John Petrucci did something similar with a guitar solo once. He played a solo on a track and recorded it as normal. Then he played the recording backwards, learned how to play it backwards and then recorded it again like this for the record. Madness!"

That interview with Kavus was great. The eye opener was him taking a pay cut to be a member of the band rather than the guitar tech.

"Takashi Miike 10:16 Sun Aug 2 I played in a band Bob Leith for a while, he is a lovely guy and worked as a radiographer at Morden hospital at the time. Only Tim Smith was a full time Cardiac at the time. Jim repaired washing machines for a living. Jon Poole and Kavus had other musical projects. From Sing To God onwards Tim composed everything on a computer rather than sheet music. Guess he did a similar thing with the old 4-track cassette machines when they were the cutting edge. The parts were all there and the live instruments replaced the computer version as it was recorded at Tim's studio in Salisbury. I know that Jon Poole played the vast majority of the bass on Sing To God and Bob had one day in the studio where his kit was sampled drum by drum. The best story is the guitar solo on Fiery Gun Hand; Jon Poole recorded it and Tim Smith chopped it up into bits and reassembled it into the madness that appears on the finished track without telling him thus making it impossible to reproduce live. He had a good stab at it though as did Kavus..."

"Takashi Miike 10:18 Sun Aug 2 Cheers. Will watch that. The one that freaks me out is Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater. If John Petrucci just plays him something on guitar (however complicated), Jordan will hear and can write down his own keyboard part on manuscript that will harmonise with what he's just heard without even touching a keyboard. Truly a wizard!"

"in regard to song structure, kavus said that everything was written down, even the fiddly bits that look improvised but have a listen to him talk about it, it's a good insight"

"bungo, their was a very good recent (june) interview with tim's final guitarist and good mate kavus torabi, where he talks a bit about how things worked (zeb, may know more as I think he knew their last drummer). it's worth a watch of the interview https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5O5g6-06QDc&t=476s"

Takashi Miike 9:17 Sun Aug 2 I would love to have seen how they worked when putting new music together. Did Tim turn up with a complete song and teach it to the rest of the band piece by piece (as most of us do)? Were they all good enough musicians that he wrote all their parts out on manuscript and they just sight read it? Does anyone know?
