phorbesie Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 i think they could go on with out him, but probably won't. or they at least change the name.he can't be replaced as a member of the band, though his influence is not nearly what it was... since they have been moving more and more away from the bluegrass and more towards the trance, his material really doesn't fit with them anymore.

tigger Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I'll miss them one of my faves ,good vibes .It takes a rare group of musicians to play for 20 plus years there has only been a few who have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 This is a pity. I had a '99 show that Mr. Tonin gave me some time ago in the car today, and I was altogether enjoying it (sweet Pocky Way, I have to say). Yes, they're more of a jam-band than a song-writer's band, but, imo, that's perfectly ok. They seem to have done it very, very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 These guys get hated on a lot, but I'll miss them - I've never had a bad time at one of their shows. With that said, I haven't made much effort to see them the past little while, because I don't dig the trance (nor do I think they do an especially good job of it)."A String Cheese Incident" remains one of my all-time favourite official live releases. If they still played like that I'd be quite bummed about the split-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 There was a small blurb in the footnotes section of Tuesday's New York Times arts section saying Nershi had left the group and that there were no plans for the band beyond the summer. I trust the Times to get it right so I sense as people have concluded this really is the end of the whole band not just this or that formation.

The Chameleon Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 SCI certainly did have thier legions of fans and did nuch for the scene.However musically they never really engaged me and I personally felt thier improvisations "aimless" at times. They never ever really dug in either.So perhaps it was time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backbacon Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I liked SCI when they were bluegrassy. I liked the A String Cheese Incident disc. All downhill from there for me. They moved into jazzy (junkily) and trancey (junkily) and basket-weaving rock (junkily).Oh, and Keller Williams should have fired his horn section years ago! I will never watch another Keller solo show, even if it means slightly turning my head to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I heard Bob Weir asked if he could take Nershi's place and they turned him down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chameleon Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) I liked SCI when they were bluegrassy. I liked the A String Cheese Incident disc. All downhill from there for me. They moved into jazzy (junkily) and trancey (junkily) and basket-weaving rock (junkily).Oh, and Keller Williams should have fired his horn section years ago! I will never watch another Keller solo show, even if it means slightly turning my head to the left.I totally agree. I think when they were bluegrassy they were in thier element. Then they seemed to kinda half play other generes.P.S. No way in hell would Bobby ever join Cheese that would be step down for him. That is obviouslya joke.

Booche Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 If Bob still needs to put his kids through university, he should join the Cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 If Bob still needs to put his kids through university, he should join the Cheese. Do any of Bob's kids play guitar and/or sing? Maybe one of them could join SCI.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark tonin Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I like SCI, particularly their recordings from 1999 and 2000. I've had a great time at a few SCI concerts, but I was also disappointed with the last Toronto show I saw (Big Summer Classic) ... the next night I saw the Burt Neilson Band and thought that they should have headlined the Big Summer Classic instead. Seriously. Having said that, I'll miss the Cheese, as they provided me with lots of sweet music and fond memories over the years.Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
