JethroTull Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Nobody knows? Look at the June 2, 2008 date on this list. Is that what you are talking about? The ministry is probably more up to date than the official site. http://www.ministry-of-information.co.uk/setlist/08.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 It's available for pre-ordering on Amazon UK - and to be released on June 2. A fully authorized history of the band, should be interesting. The 25th anniversary DVD is nice to have and fun to watch, but of course it's not a full history of the band.

Mattmc1973 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 One things for sure, there will be lots of flute on it! Lead flute players get all the chicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Masson Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Well, your post, if taken literally, is completely pointless in this thread, so it makes me wonder what you mean. And if you can't state your actual point, perhaps it may not be worth making at all. Are you a fan of Jethro Tull at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc1973 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Jesus Christ dude, grow a sense of humor. I'm simply referring to the prevalence of flute on Tull's albums, an instrument not exactly associated with rockin' music, and the long-running joke related to them winning a heavy metal Grammy over Metallica. Then I referred to the fact that lead guitarists get chicks, but replaced "guitar" with "flute", inferring that "lead flutist" kind of sounds silly in that context. See what I did there? Zing! from wikipedia: The band won the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, beating the favourite Metallica and their ...And Justice For All album. The award was particularly controversial as many did not consider Jethro Tull hard rock, much less heavy metal. Under advisement from their manager, who told them they had no chance of winning, no one from the band attended the award ceremony. In response to the criticism they received over the award, the band took out an advert in a British music periodical with a picture of a flute lying amid a pile of iron re-bars and the line, "THE FLUTE IS A HEAVY METAL INSTRUMENT." At least they have a sense of humor about it, even though you clearly don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I know perfectly well that Ian Anderson has a sense of humor, also about the flute. I've seen him live, and I'm a fan of the band (again, are you?). So I don't have sense of humor? Hmmm, or perhaps your joke just wasn't that good?

Mattmc1973 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I guess not, Otto. Keep in mind, if every time someone made a joke on this board, some head-schoolmaster type always replied "care to explain yourself?", this board wouldn't be very fun. So lighten up, homes.

Otto Masson Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 This was hardly a battle of wits, JT. I wasn't even battling at all, and don't think I'm much of a head-schoolmaster type either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You started the nonsense with this remark........ "Well, your post, if taken literally, is completely pointless in this thread, so it makes me wonder what you mean. And if you can't state your actual point, perhaps it may not be worth making at all. Are you a fan of Jethro Tull at all?" .......proving that you have zero sense of humor or the ability to interpret any attempt at satire. I also have serious doubts about your Tull knowledge. Every Tull fans knows the last few studio releases AND recent live performances have been overburdened with FLUTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Symbol Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 40th Anniversary DVD? Good stuff- I'll happily wait for that to come out. It would be nice (although probably extremely unlikely) to see the "20 Years of" video transferred to DVd and released officially - some great stuff on there. A nice extra would be the "Fish, Sheep & Rock & Roll" Channel 4 documentary from around the same period. A boy can at least dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DVD they did on Yes was excellent, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 And finaly a remastered THis was which I understand even less..IOan doesn´t rate that line up very much! Not true at all. First of all, not only does Ian play a lot of songs from This Was live TODAY, but he and the band sound great on those early blues tracks. Second, Clive Bunker and Mick Abrahams have been guesting on the current shows in the UK. I'm sure that initial line-up holds a special place in Ian's heart. So what do you mean "Ian doesn´t rate that line up very much!"? I suspect and hope that Glenn Cornick makes an appearence or two when the band plays in California.

Martin has never said a bad word about ANYBODY. He would never say something so disrespectful about people he has known for 40 years? He was in the band with Clive and Glenn for a number of years. And he also knows and has played with Mick Abrahams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
