Del Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 No horns! This is like a dream come true... I am now officially excited to hear the new Trey stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 With particle and the NEw Deal as supporting acts, I am very curious as to the 'groove' that he's after. Trancy Trey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 We can only hope... I was honestly beyond bored with Trey's sound... It was cool for awhile, but seemed more and more redundant with each successive tour. It's about time he switched things up, and losing the horns is definitely a step in the right direction... I miss the delay loop from '99/'00 Phish, hopefully he brings it back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I don't know how you can knock horns. Horns are very rare these days and I worry that in our lifetime we will continue to see/here less and less. Do highschools even have music classes anymore?

Del Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I'm not knocking horns, just how Trey's band had far too many of them in far too many songs... I like some horns now and again, but it was overkill with that band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like some horns now and again, but it was overkill with that band... I think the point of the last Trey band was to be a BIG funk band. Horns are a crucial part of big band sound. Just because Trey is offering some versatility doesnt mean hes comepletly changed his focus. I'm interested in whatever hes up to, usually. horns will always be cool.

Pootie Tang Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Agreed...horns are great..espically playing funk..goddamn! I like the horns TAB had...sometimes yes a little too much..but it gave a great feel to the music they were playing...horns kept it real in a way..

bouche Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think an example of too much might be when they did the Sultan's of Swing guitar solo entirely on horns. But, I thought that was freakin' sweeet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 you'd rather hear redundant trancy music over horn driven funk... sometimes you amaze me del! the horns was the best thing to happen to trey, post 1999. ahhh well...not like he's coming up here anyways... (you'd really rather hear the delay loop than the horns?!!?!?!?!?! Ju Crazy Mon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Thing is, when Trey does trance it's not redundant... Horn driven funk is ok, in doses... If Trey turned EVERY new song into a delay loop song I'd be complaining about that as well... I'm saying mix it up a bit. I was really interested in what he was doing with the horns, for a couple of tours. Then it became redundant. One of the great things about Phish was how they kept you guessing. I know TAB isn't Phish (not even close) but it was fairly repetitive... They didn't really grow as a band, they just learned how to play the same material a little better together... I'm just excited to see some change. Hell, bring on some guest horns for a song or two. But do something new and fresh... Another tour of the TAB horns featuring Trey Anastasio on guitar doesn't really appeal to me... (And in my opinion, the best thing to happen to Trey post '99 was Phish Fall 2000 tour, followed by Oysterhead...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
