The Bedlam In Goliath

[Aaron]

Clearly I prefer to listen to real fusion like Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chick Corea Elektric Band, The Tony Williams Lifeline, Weather Report et al.

I think it's great that they're reviving fusion and getting people into jazz through rock, but toting them as being hugely experimental and influential is a bit much considering how small their impact is beyond reintroducing people to musical styles that were done thirty years ago.

lol because i was so serious

[Aaron]

Well I just got trolled then, lol. But my point of view remains.

[Iluvatar]

if you really think tmv consider themselves fusion and are trying to revive any of that

lol

[Aaron]

Well the interviews I've read with both Theodore and Pridgen have indicated they do [I'm a drummer so I don't look into the guitar side as much].

[Iluvatar]

they are a rock group i dont hear any fusion

pretty sure omar and cedric are lol'ing at people calling them random genres all the time

[Aaron]

I hear fusion elements that are quite prominent. Happy to agree to disagree though.

[Iluvatar]

im just saying i dont think omar thinks he is making "fusion" music.

[Aaron]

Darkthrone think they're making metal, but it comes out punk now.

I don't get how there's a correlation between intention and output.

[Iluvatar]

that was never my point christian boy

[Aaron]

Then I'm thoroughly confused what we're talking about.

[Iluvatar]

Perhaps the answer lies in the octahedron

[oathfbass]

I hear fusion more in some of Omars solo works
